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.

Located at walkable distance from both the bus terminal and city center, I was warmly welcomed by super-friendly and helpful staff. They offer equipment rental and luggage storage service during the trek in TDP national park at affordable rates. Definitely recommended!

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.

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.

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.

Como en casa

Grata experiencia vivida en el Hostal Rufus, desde que llegas te dan una cálida bienvenida, te hacen sentir en casa. Diariamente ofrecen un desayuno buffet muy bueno que consta de pan casero, huevos, frutas, cake, yogurt, cereales, café, etc. Sus instalaciones están climatizadas. El hostal se encuentra a 3 cuadras del centro de la ciudad y a 4 cuadras del terminal de buses, está bien ubicado. Las habitaciones son amplias, con clóset y cama cómoda. No le coloco la máxima puntuación por el ruido, ya que están construyendo y además las paredes son tan finas que fácilmente escuchas las conversaciones de tus vecinos.
