Excellent hostel, great service, good location, and the best part is that there's a cat receptionist! :D
Be very careful at this hostel. My things were messed with, something was stolen, and the hostel did absolutely nothing! Total complicity!
(2026-01-11) If you are heading to Valparaíso and looking for the perfect home base, Maki Hostel is a solid 10/10. From the moment I arrived, I was greatly satisfied by how well-run and welcoming the atmosphere is. It truly captures the vibrant spirit of the city while providing a comfortable place to rest. The location is absolutely fantastic - perfectly situated to explore the famous hills, street art, and local culture with ease. It feels like a safe haven in the heart of all the action. The staff are the true stars here. They are incredibly polite, friendly, and always ready to lend a hand. Their service is excellent, making communication a breeze for international travellers. The entire hostel is clean and well-maintained, which is a huge plus for such a social and creative spot. They offer every service you could possibly need, but the communal spaces and vibe are the real highlight. They provide a natural opportunity to meet new people from all over the world in a "cool," relaxed environment. Whether you are a solo traveller or with a group, Maki Hostel hits all the marks for comfort, value, and community. Highly recommended!
We loved it! We went as a family with the children. The place is very nice, the service was excellent and very helpful, the beds were clean, and the place is incredibly cozy. Plus, it's located right in the historic center. We will definitely be back.
We went for a thousand drums from last year and there was zero noise in the washing machine, everything was very clean and the service was great, plus the staff were friendly and the facilities were phenomenal.
Excellent location in Cerro Alegre. The common areas, especially the bathrooms, need maintenance. They need cleaning and upkeep. The staff is very attentive.
I've slept in other places, and this is a very welcoming place, with common areas and a terrace to share with others. Everything is clean, and the cleaning staff cleans the bathroom frequently. There are several rooms, and quiet is respected. They also sell toiletries at reception if you need them.
