Very chill hostel that was walkable (everything in puerto natales is fairly walkable though), clean and quiet. Breakfast in Chile is not an elaborate affair but the breakfast was nice. Would definitely recommend this place to though heading to puerto natales.

Hostal Rufus is a wonderful place to stay in Puerto Natales. You won’t find kinder hosts who are friendly and helpful. Location is close to everything and the amenities were wonderful. Comfortable beds, hot water, and fantastic breakfast to start the day. Highly recommend staying here if you’re in Puerto Natales.

Loved my stay!!

This hotel is wonderful in all respects! Very clean, modern, and comfortable. Very nice cafe/bar area and common sitting area. Good wifi! Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. If you are an animal lover, you're in for a delight -- there is a sweet resident Dachshund and two super affectionate cats.<3

What a perfect spot for a couple of nights. Claudio and his family take so much pride in the place. Very nice breakfast and friendly. We had an issue with the car rental company and Claudio was super helpful waiting for us and making sure it had been resolved. Hospitality at its best! Stay here.

Felt well-cared for

They were truly wonderful and so caring when I had something come up and had to extend my stay. They made sure I got breakfast, have charger adapters you can borrow, and helped me check in early for my extension stay. Couldn’t recommend them enough and they're only a 10 minute walk to the bus stop, grocery store, etc - great location ans great breakfast!

Fabulous host!

Great host and tour info help to find a rental car when there didn’t appear to be any. Bed comfortable breakfast good with real sourdough bread. Request for quiet after 11pm bit late as rooms have thin walls.

Perfect stay at a lovely hotel!

This is a wonderful hotel in all respects! Very clean, modern, and comfortable. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Nice rooms, great common cafe area and common sitting area. Good location; easily walkable to/from the bus station, supermarket, restaurants, etc. If you're an animal lover, you're in for a real delight - there is a sweet resident Dachshund and two very affectionate kitties. I stayed here on both the front and back ends of my trek in Torres del Paine and I'm so glad I chose this hotel. Highly recommended!

Outstanding Customer Service and a Wonderful Stay! I recently stayed at [Hotel Name], and I cannot say enough good things about the exceptional customer service. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The front desk team was welcoming and efficient, making check-in a breeze. They provided great recommendations for local attractions and dining options, which made my trip even more memorable. Housekeeping kept my room spotless, and any request from laundry service to leaving luggage I had was handled promptly and with a smile. I highly recommend [Hotel Name] to anyone looking for top-notch service and a great experience. I will definitely be returning on my next visit!
