Hostal Sunset is a charming no-frills hotel in a great location. Accommodations are very basic, but clean and comfortable. There are towels and soap provided, but no shampoo/conditioner or hair dryer. Perhaps you can ask for that, but we came prepared with our own so wasn't needed. There is a small refrigerator and hot water kettle in the room. Also tiny old TV. We never got the wifi working, but weren't trying that hard. Internet is generally very slow on Rapa Nui and it's a place to go to disconnect. Go with the right expectations, and you won't be disappointed. The breakfast was very basic and limited (not a buffet, just what's on your table), but enough to get you going in the morning and a nice perk. The eggs were really good, but not offered every day. Speaking of eggs, there are roosters on the property, so prepare for a wake-up call (though I think there are chickens/roosters everywhere in town, so there's really no escaping it). The hotel garden/grounds are very nice and the patio in front of the room is a very relaxing place to sit. The location is perfect. It's an easy walk to nice restaurants along the waterfront, as well as to the center of town, and Ahu Tahai (the mandatory place for sunsets). China, the owner, picked us up from the airport and gave us a nice overview of town on the way to the hotel. She then sat down with us and gave us even more information on where to go and when. It was very helpful to get advice from a local. She also spoke perfect English.
