Hotel Loberias Del Sur

“This could be one of the few virgin spots left in the world, definately worth visiting!”

Hotel Loberias is a beautiful hotel with a lovely view, warm people, comfortable rooms and good food. Drinks are not included. The distances between the hotel and the tours are long but worth it. There is still quite a lot of roads that are not paved.

“Mass market American hotel,but in a grand place.”

The hotel dominates the remote hamlet uphill from an active port.It is a rather large scale operation- I would guess at least 150 on the galcier excursion- but manages a good standard of food in the restaurant.They try to palm you of with a buffet later,so go in early for proper a la carte. … more

The hotel dominates the remote hamlet uphill from an active port.It is a rather large scale operation- I would guess at least 150 on the galcier excursion- but manages a good standard of food in the restaurant.They try to palm you of with a buffet later,so go in early for proper a la carte. I perhaps enjoyed the bar meal ( forced to eat late one night after restaurant closed) ,which had beautiful beef in a fresh ciabatta,a little more.Views are superb from the restaurant.Breakfast was good,but marred by very small plates. Rooms are standard US type,very spacious and well fitted.There was NO BATH OR BASIN PLUG- a local custom I could do without. The catamaran excursion to the glacier foot started very early and finished late.The bus pick up ( long drive around what would be a short distance on foot), ended in the driver reversing onto an unguarded pier- potential multiple drowning from a slip of the foot! Safety was better managed on the ship,and the small boats were well handled.The inevitable long return voyage ofter the boating ( be warned two boats must make a total of 10 trips,requiring a few hours) was made into a torment by forced “ entertainment” including a quiz and karaoke.Access to the only bit of peace on the stern deck was blocked by dancers. On returning to port ,I felt that visits to the ferry ,container ship,large tug ,and a fishing boat,would have made a more intersting day, though not for the hordes on the cat. I was not aware of any hiking or private boat hire around Chacabuco.

“Would come back!”

Good hotel. Good structure and good localization. Comfortable rooms with good structure. Great service as everyone was very kind to us. Breakfast is also good. It is a good localization, but not as close to important spots such as Coyhaique or Balmaceda, for those who are doing the Carretera A… more

Good hotel. Good structure and good localization. Comfortable rooms with good structure. Great service as everyone was very kind to us. Breakfast is also good. It is a good localization, but not as close to important spots such as Coyhaique or Balmaceda, for those who are doing the Carretera Austral road. I started via Balmaceda Airport and Loberías del Sur was my first hotel. It was good, but maybe I would've stayed in Coyhaique to explore the region and use Puerto Chacabuco to rest before/after Quelat.
