Hostal Forestal

Meet the Staff ! Conocer el Equipo !

Bienvenidos al blog del Hostal Forestal. Aqui te invitamos a conocer la hermosa y amable gente que trabajan aqui. Empezamos con la mejor gerente del mundo... la Gabi loca ! Welcome to the Hostal Forestal blog. Here we invite you to meet our beautiful and friendly staff. Today we start with the best manager in the world, Gabi loca!

Hola, yo soy Gabi, nací en Hualañé, una comuna muy tranquila ubicada en la Región del Maule; me vine a vivir a Santiago hace ya varios años para empezar la universidad. Cuando terminaba mi carrera por cosas del destino y la suerte conocí a unos de los dueños de Hostal Forestal quien me ofreció unirme a esta enorme familia.

Gracias a él trabajo acá desde hace un poco más de un año y debo decir que ha sido una experiencia muy enriquecedora, he tenido la suerte de conocer personas maravillosas de casi todas partes del mundo, he aprendido mucho sobre culturas, países y formas de vida. Y por qué no decirlo, también le he enseñado a todos quienes se han transformado en amigos y a los que han querido saber, sobre lo que es Chile y lo que somos los chilenos, nuestra jerga, comidas y lo mejor de todo, nuestras malas costumbres.

La invitación es que vengan a conocer Chile, que se apropien de la ciudad, que sean parte de nuestra forma de vida y que obviamente se queden en Hostal Forestal. Todos serán bienvenidos!!!

Our upgraded home!!

We've just redesigned our hostel to offer you a better service. A new TV room was created on the second floor.

A flatscreen TV, home theater system and small library make this room the most comfortable place at the hostel to relax while watching movies.
Downstairs, new and larger public areas were created, providing you with a place to chill out and share the best BBQ with people from all around the world.

Also we have a fully equiped seating area beside the billiard table and the BBQ area so you can have meal, surf the internet and share lovely talks without leaving

the fun area. Making this even better we have free Wi-Fi and free coffe/tea for everyone 24 hours a day. So we welcome you to enjoy this completly renewed HOSTAL FORESTAL that will make you feel at home for sure!!!

Free book fair at Parque Forestal.

Just a few streets from the hostel, walking through parque forestal, there's the 8th book fair taking place at plaza Juan Sebastián Bach, featuring 40 stands full of bestsellers and Chilean classics. The best of all, very good prices! There are lots of different activities for the attendees including children's theater, storytelling, tarot reading, craft rooms, Japanese calligraphy and Book Raffle, all these immersed in an atmosphere of live music and Celtic dance.

Another perfect thing to do on these super hot afternoons.
