Segunda vez en Ají el hostel y me sentí bien recibida. Desde Pauli♡ que siempre está atenta y presta a escuchar, hasta los compañeros voluntarios. Si bien el hostel ya es bonita, la ubicación es tan céntrica que puedes hacer cualquier plan para disfrutar y aprovechar💚 además de que te acomodan los horarios tan bien y todo es conversable🤍 Amo y espero volver pronto, será mi casa favorita de descanso en Chile❤️‍🩹

Conocí personas geniales y muy atentas que me hicieron sentir muy comodo, aprendí mucho sobre diferentes cuestiones y vi paisajes muy bonitos. La ubicación es bastante centrica por lo que hay mucho comercio, servicios, museos, etc. muy cerca.

En general me encantó la estadía estibe casi 2 meses en el hostal y conocí mucha gente linda incluyendo al stand el lugar es cómodo y acogedor con una buena vista y espacios para descansar y relajarte, lo unico malo es que hay trabaja el hijo de la dueña y cada vez que le toca "turno" se apropia de las áreas comunes y lleva a sus amigos a beber y escuchar musica, aveces echando a los voluntarios de su descanso o compartir en dias libres de la sala común donde el quiere estar, fuera de eso todo es excelente

Gran experiencia! Todos fueron muy cálidos(personal y voluntarios). Siempre recordaré lo cercana que me hacían sentir, como una familia☆ Tuve la suerte de coincidir con dos super voluntarios, nos hicimos cercanos y compartimos experiencias♡ Además, tienen muy buena ubicación. Yo estuve en Coquimbo, pero quería conocer un poquito más de the hostel y disfrutar lo que quedaba del verano. Gracias☆♡

Mis días en ají el hostel fueron muy buenos. Aunque fui el único voluntario en el tiempo que estuve allí pude compartir con quienes trabajan en el Hostel. Adrian es un tipo con muy buena onda, me recibió con los brazos abiertos y un plato de comida. De igual forma. Paulina, Oscar y Eduardo fueron muy amables conmigo. Creo que cada lugar tiene algo especial y ají el hostel no es una excepción. También pude mejorar mi inglés y compartir con viajeros de todo el mundo.
