    The breakfast is a bit expensive but it's good. The building can be a bit noisy but it's nothing that prevented me from sleeping

    Very nice and helpful staff. It's also warm in the rooms (in July) so it's a nice thing in winter ! The location is great, really close to lots of sights and two minutes away from a metro station.

    The bed was a little uncomfortable but sleepable and fine for the budget.

    The staff is super nice. The location is also great, right by a park and nice places to walk to.

    The beds were quite noisy and the hostel lacked general atmosphere. No organized activities/social vibe when I was there - maybe because of the season. They have a rooftop area but no one ever seemed to use it.

    In quite a nice area of Santiago, close to the Lastarria area for nice restaurants and bars and close to the main attractions. The rooms were pretty comfortable and the staff were friendly. Bathrooms were kept very clean.

    The kitchen was not very good, the electric hob barely got hot enough to cook some pasta which was very frustrating. When I asked about it they knew that some of the hobs didn’t work well but hadn’t done anything to fix this.

    Nice hostel in a good location. Friendly staff and able to give us suggestions for what to do.

    Though the location is quite central and close to shops and restaurants, it is also a dodgy area during the night and even day. Also, it seems many locals tend to gather there to protest and therefore the street can get blocked by them or the police, and the gas sprayed by the police can even reach the windows of the dorm on the second floor. I didn’t feel safe to walk around there because of that. Lastly, there atmosphere in the hostel was not socialising, and most people kept to themselves.

    Facilities were quite good and usually the place was clean. The dorm was spacious enough to move around and have luggage, with good size lockers. The showers had hot water and the staff were helpful.

    The bed . It's quite squeaky and loud. Earplugs helped big time though.

    Staff members are all so friendly and helpful . There is a kitchen that you could use, rooftop bar and gym for stretches

    The location is very close to vibrant and culturally rich spots, which we really appreciated. The double room was comfortable, though a bit noisy since the window faces a busy street — but I used earplugs and had no trouble sleeping. The staff was helpful and arranged a taxi to the airport for us, which made things easy. You’ll also meet lots of interesting people during your stay.

    Bunk bed did not seem super stable, but it was comfy.

    One of the best hostels I have ever been to. Highly recommended. Staff was really friendly, and they let me leave my bag and hang out in the common area after check out. I was only there for one night, but the hostel even has a gym and a rooftop terrace.

    As described, private room was big and bed very comfortable. Wifi perfectly good, tv had netflix/apple tv etc to login. Kitchen had basic utensils, air fryer oven and microwave. Free tea. Didnt stay for the breakfast. Theres a social room with pool table and tv, plus a rooftop although I didnt use either. Felt quite empty during my 1 night stay, saw a couple of people in the kitchen. Location was excellent. Close to all the main tourist points, easy walk to the govermental buildings etc as well as Cerro San Cristobal. Short walk to nice bars and restaurants, plus mini market a few doors down. Only issue, room faced a busy road, noisy all night long, I had earplugs so was manageable to sleep. Shower was hot (eventually) but smelled a bit. Bit pricey overall.
