La casa piola

La Casa piola es una típica casa porteña, con buena ubicación turística.
La buena onda y el ambiente cálido califican el hostal. Es un lugar tranquilo dónde se puede descansar, aprovechando de la linda terraza que tenemos, hacer asados, compartir de manera relajada.

Estamos cerca de todo, ubicados en el centro de Valparaíso. Los cerros mas turisticos estan a 10 minutos caminando. El plan a 5 min. La calle de los bares a 2 min.

Aunque no somos un hostal de fiesta, compartimos mucho aparte del trabajo entre equipo de trabajo y con los huéspedes también.

Nuestro hostal se destaca por sus muy buenas valoraciones y notas en Booking, Tripadvisor y Hostelworld. Llegan muchos extranjeros, gente de todo el mundo. Nos enfocamos en brindar la mejor calidad de servicio a nuestros huespedes: mantener siempre el hostal limpio y acogedor

Do you want to know what it is like to work at La Casa Piola ?

We currently have 4 different shifts :

1) 8h30 / 13h30 : preparing breakfast / attend early clients who drop out their bags / clean the kitchen and the 3 bathrooms and prepare the rooms for check-in (2 people work together for cleaning)
2) 10h30 / 15h30 : clean the kitchen and the 3 bathrooms and prepare the rooms for check-in (2 people work together for cleaning) Then clean the sheets (laundry machine and drier) + fold them
3) 14h / 19h00 : Do the check-in of the day make sure that everything is in order during the day. easy shift
4) 19h00 / 00h00 : Do the late check-ins, make the bread for breakfast (we have a bread making machine), make sure that everything is in order during the night. Very easy shift

The 2 afternoon shifts are a lot easier than the 2 morning ones so generally you do only 2 morning shifts a week (we have 4 volunteers + the manager who participates in the same shifts).

You have 2 free days a week. You have breakfast included and we generally buy pasta, rice and lentils for the volunteers that they can use and the guests always leave some food and groceries that you can use too.

For me it is very important to have social people here that like to communicate and engage with the guests.

We have a nice terrace where everyone can meet and we can organize some events (barbecue, theme nights etc...)


Somos dos amigos trabajando en este hostal con 4 voluntarios. Hace un poco más de un año que estamos acá, siguiendo mejorando el lugar poco a poco. Es una casa antigua con 5 habitaciones de buen tamaño donde el trabajo es mas bien de tipo domestico, ya que nosotros hacemos todo y todo con buena onda. Entonces necesitamos ayuda en las tareas diarias, a la recepción pero también en tareas que pueden variar como pintura o jardín por ejemplo. El voluntario que trabaje en nuestro hostal debe tener ganas y energías de conocer gente y atender todas las necesidades de un turista, te aseguramos un trato amable y respetuoso entendiendo siempre que no es lo que haces en tu vida . A cambio de 5 horas de trabajo por día, 5 días en la semana y 2 días libres los voluntarios tienen alojamiento en un dormitorio compartido con los 3 otros voluntarios, desayuno y básicos de comida, lavandería.

A experiência foi muito boa, casa organizada e as tarefas são exatamente como descrito, as pessoas são tranquilas e sempre que tem dúvida ajudam. Lá Casa Piola tem uma ótima localização, é um hostel mais familiar, o que é muito bom, pois cria um ambiente tranquilo para viver, mas ao mesmo tempo há bares e festas próximo a casa.
