Hospedaje Don Pedro is really Don Pedro - a host who remembers which tour you're leaving for, flexes breakfast to your schedule, and keeps the place running with a warmth that outlasts the novelty of most lodges. Rooms are plain but genuinely clean, properly heated (no small thing in Patagonia's cold), and the hot water actually works. A five-minute walk from the bus terminal puts you halfway out the door to Torres del Paine; the real sell is returning at dusk after a full day of trekking to find your room tidied and ready. No complaints surface often enough to warrant a warning - for a hospedaje at this price point, that's already a win.
