The best hotel in town is inside a cute red-and-blue trimmed cabinlike building a few minutes’ walk from the church. The bright rooms are spacious and offer soft beds and showers big enough for two – a miracle in Chiloé.
A comfortable midrange pension in a well-appointed home across the street from one of the bus stops to/from Castro. There’s wi-fi and the homeowners are quite friendly. It’s a five-minute walk to the church and crafts fair.

The closest of the campsites situated in Punta de Lapa, the spit of land southwest of downtown. There are city views and it’s walkable to town. New bathrooms were scheduled for summer 2009 at the time of research.
