Located 150 metres from Gabriela Mistral Museum, Hostal Michel offers accommodations in Vicuña. Free Wi-Fi access is available here.

Rooms at Hostal Michel feature a private bathroom and cable TV. Some rooms have garden views.

I loved the trees, the multiple areas to rest and take in the fresh air from the trees, the mountain views. Took naps and saw the night sky in the terrace and met great people and activities like pizza on the charcoal grill. The staff was always very warm and happy to help with tips. I also rented a bike and went ride to the nearby towns.

At the hostel, all rooms have a patio with a garden view. All guest rooms feature bed linen.

Breakfast was nice and a relaxed atmosphere. All laid out on tables before you come in. Location was excellent we walked from the bus terminal. Would recommend the restaurant as well. Pool area was beautiful and calm great for a chill after breakfast.

    I really enjoyed the great location that the Hostel is, the staff (Javier) he was amazing and very solicitous and the room was great too. Everything that we need to do was pretty close, so we were very comfy with that.

    Great location in this small town, an easy stroll to many restaurants and to the main plaza. Helpful staff person let us check-in early. Pleasant central courtyard and small pool at the back with loungers available. Our room was on the main floor which we appreciated. Felt very safe and comfortable. Suited us perfectly for one night. Breakfast was okay but served with a smile.

    The Hostelowner was so nice and took time to chat with you. I felt very comfortable and familiar in the Hostel. The rooms are huge and everything was very clean! I loved the patio and the little garden. The kitchen is pretty well equiped.

    Staying on the edge of town in a rural community. Our hosts were most helpful and their little son was a joy. Comfortable room, excellent breakfast and safe parking

    Great hostal a stone's throw away from the main plaza yet quiet in the evenings. Bunk bed was comfy, room was clean. Really hospitable host who went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome. Kitchen is always clean, common areas are nice with enough space to socialise or relax on your own. I extended my stay by a couple of nights and would stay again. Definitely one of the better hostels out there. Highly recommended!

    Very nice hosts. Amazing stargazing opportunities right in front of our room. Great location to visit Vicuña and the Valle del Elqui while avoiding the big crowds
