Hotels.com lists this as a hotel but the sign on the property itself says it is a hostel. I've never stayed in a hostel before but if that's what the Doble E is, it's the nicest hostel I've ever seen. We had a fairly large private room with a locking door and our own bathroom. The staff was very nice and our room smelled and looked clean. Breakfast was typical for Chile--yogurt, cereal, bread, sliced cheese and meat, juice and some kind of dessert. The area is quiet and kind of rural, but felt safe.
