TODO MUY BIEN Y MUY AMABLES JUAN Y SU EQUIPO EN EL HOSTAL, ME SENTI EN CASA

Nice people.

全員に朝食が付いており、食事の質もそこそこ良かったと思う。夜に何人かで共用部に集まり飲み会を開いていることがあるため騒音が嫌いな人にはおすすめできない。

Hotel très sympa, bien placé en mode auberge donc bonne ambiance. Personnel gentil, réactif. Dommage il faisait un peu froid dans la chambre mais pour une nuit pas de soucis

What a great place! I would definitely stay here again. The hostal is centrally located, five minutes away from the subway and within walking distance of many attractions, shops, and restaurants. Transit is easy and inexpensive, so consider it as an option when visiting Santiago in addition to Uber. I had a sizeable private room with a comfortable bed and a washroom. The service was friendly and I had no problem leaving my luggage before check-in and after check-out. A modest breakfast was provided, though I only took advantage of the coffee and juice. On my first night I was invited to add my name to a sign-up sheet for tasting terremotos, the national drink of Chile. What a fun time! I enjoyed meeting other guests, who were visiting from around the country and across the world. If you happen to be staying on a Sunday, try checking out the changing of the guard in the morning at the Plaza de la Constitución (in front of the presidential palace, La Moneda); on your way back to the hotel, walk through the Lastarria neighbourhood and catch the open-air arts market.

When I first arrived, Scarlett was at the front desk. She was kind and very helpful. She went out of her way to make my stay pleasant and comfortable. I cannot speak highly enough of her. Ivan, Juan, and Guillermo also work at the front desk. In their presence, one always feels welcome. A few times a week Juan would play his guitar and sing, and what a powerful voice he has. I could listen to him all day. Acoustic music and singing have a way of opening hearts. The room feels alive and people feel more connected with each other. One day when I was sitting in the common area, the atmosphere was casual and relaxing. And then Juan shows up with his guitar and begins to play and sing. The room fills with sound, and everyone is spellbound and fully immersed in the powerful emotions being expressed. After he finishes, people are suddenly open and friendly and talking with one another. The vibe in the room is completely transformed, alive and social. The free breakfast provided every morning was excellent, a few different cereals and milk, and maybe some fruit and boiled eggs. They also have fresh bread that arrives every morning, and they have these spreads, jams and creamy chocolate that are so delicious. It's a simple breakfast with quality ingredients. There is a category of hostel that just stands out among the rest. You know, the ones where you feel like you get to know the staff and guests, and that you've made new lifelong friends. Well, this is one of those hostels. In order for a hostel to stand out among the best in the world, it must have excellent management. I give credit to the owner and the management. I never met the owner, but hostels like this just don't appear out of nothing. This owner must have a gift. To create hostels with such a welcoming atmosphere is a priceless gift to all those travelers in the world who love experiencing new cultures and making new friends along the way. I highly recommend this smaller, but cozier hostel to anyone who wants to relax in a welcoming environment, meet new people, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

We stayed in one of the private rooms right at the top floor. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful and friendly - especially Scarlett who gave us great tips and advice. Breakfast was of great value. There are quite a number of stairs especially if you’re staying on the 2nd or 3rd floor so be mindful of that in case you have very large bags.

Basic hostel in central Santiago - close to major sights. Only stayed one night. We walked up to Cerro San Cristobal then had a nice meal on the busy street on the way back to the hostel. We were advised not to go out walking after dark. Cars were being broken into along the street when we got up early in the morning to go to the airport. Very noisy at hostel at night - Pisco Sours were being served at 9pm & things got quite rowdy until curfew at midnight which meant we didn’t get much sleep. Decent breakfast which is impressive considering the price of a room. Room had enough room for opening luggage & also had its own bathroom.

The hostel has a great atmosphere and the staff are reallt friendly and nice. The activities they organised were very fun and helped me meet other people. Angie organised the beer pong, and was glad to take photos and videos, which is nice when you’re travelling solo. She was awesome. Would recommend wholeheartedly!

This is a truly great hostel. The staff are friendly and helpful: Ivan, Juan, and Guillermo; and two of the guys played the guitar. A few times a week Juan would play his guitar and sing, and what a powerful voice he had. I could listen to him all day. The free breakfast provided every morning was excellent, and the atmosphere of the hostel was memorable. However, there was one person at the front desk (Scarlet) that was showing irrational behavior. In the beginning she was friendly and helpful, but then after a week, she turned dark and menacing towards me. She kept complaining that I changed my bed or dorm room, even when it was because of inappropriate behavior from another guest, and there were similar complaints from other guests. This morning she asked me if I "changed my room again?" I said everything is good. There are no problems. Then she said, "Okay, I will move you back to the room you were in last night." That seemed odd. I said, I did not ask you to. You do that without my permission. She responded, "I thought that is what you wanted." Again, strange. She didn't stop. After getting the email address of the manager, I went upstairs to write an email. Ten minutes later she came up to where I was sitting and continued to badger me. I said she was disrespecting me, and I asked her to stop. She left and then returned a few minutes later, saying that she talked with the manager and I must leave the hostel immediately. She said I was disrespecting her by feeling disrespected. That I was attacking her or mistreating her, but nothing specific was mentioned -- because it didn't happen. No one that she spoke with ever talked with me. Whatever she said behind my back, that person never even told me what I was being accused of, nor did they ask me any questions. Then she threatened me with the police. I was stunned. I asked to speak with the manager. She promised if I came to the reception desk, the manager would speak with me. When I came down, I was not allowed to speak with him. I continued to finish my email to the address provided, and then the police came. It did not matter what the truth was. They listened to her speak in Spanish and then said to me, it doesn't matter what happened. She asks you to leave so you must leave. I walked out and here I am writing this review. I had been there for a couple weeks and I got to know all the staff and they got to know me. They and a number of other guests who had been there a while could testify to my character. I have not heard back from the email I sent to the manager. It seems that whatever Scarlet said behind my back, was believed without question, even when there were guests present, witnesses. And there were video recordings from different angles. I have heard about this type of thing happening in the United States, but we are in Chile. How could a manager allow a guest to be thrown out by the police without ever asking the accused a single question. Is that the world we live in now?

The stay was good (cleanliness, kitchen, location...) but I left my bag in the storage room for 2 days and it didn't work well !! When I came bag to pick it up they had moved it to another room, opened it, went through my stuffs, left some of my belongings out of the bag and zip it back without any care : ( This other storage room was so messy that when I opened the bag I could have lost several items without noticing it, including my credit card which someone took out of a small bag without putting it back.

Simplesmente maravilhoso!!! Vim sozinha e me senti super em casa. A Angie sempre nos dando dicas e nos apresentando as noites de Santiago da melhor forma. Sem duvidas que quero voltar, atendimento incrivel. Sem dizer que ela prepara os melhores drinks.

El servicio es excelente, todo limpio, se interactúa con diferentes personas del mundo. Hacen actividades algunos días de la semana, el desayuno que brindan es rico y completo. Te sugieren lugares, muy amables. Muyyy recomendado!!!! Gracias por todo.

¡Excelente lugar! Sin duda, de todos los hostales en los que me he hospedado en Santiago, este es el mejor con diferencia. La atención es impecable, las instalaciones están siempre limpias y el ambiente es inigualable. Altamente recomendado para cualquier viajero que busque comodidad y buen servicio en una ubicación central.
