Costaustralis

A hotel from another era. It remains a good hotel, although it might need a "refresh." The staff was kind. Good and plentiful breakfast. The room is large and clean, with somewhat outdated decor, but with a stunning view of the ocean. It is just a few minutes' walk from the center. Great hotel for excursions to Torres del Paine National Park

A very noisy hotel or the staff is not friendly and the breakfast really not great

I was twice in the Hotel Costaustralis, with mixed experiences. The first night I got a small room for one person under the roof, which was more or less empty except the bed. There was no chair or sofa, no wardrobe, and except a very slim side table or the bed itself nothing, where one could put cloth or similar taken out of the suitcase. Other than that the room was o.k., but this really bothered me. I complained about the missing depositing possibilities the next morning, and when I returned two days later, I got a fully equipped and nice room. Maybe a bit small if you come with 2 persons, but for me the second room was perfectly fine. Besides that: the hotel is right at the lake, which is nice, and not too far from the city center. It has a large lobby area, check-in was fast and efficient. The breakfast was a bit limited in selection but with a counter for freshly made omelettes or eggs which were very tasty. So overall a bit mixed feelings, but with the right room a good choice.
