IT'S A SCAM AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK! I was dropped off in the muddle of a dangerous neighborhood at 10pm. They wouldn't open the door. A guy from the other side of the door said they were never there. I WANT THIS HOSTEL REPORTED TO THE AUTHORITIES AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK IN FULL!!!

Great choice for the price
The staff were very helpful and friendly. It’s an old airy building, but very comfortable with several spaces to relax, both indoor and outdoor. The shared kitchen is well stocked and they are committed to recycling and composting. Hot water 24hrs a day and cereal, toast, fruit and biscuits provided for a self service breakfast. Quiet location, but an easy walk to the centre of town.

Eco friendly and people friendly
Very nice hostel with clean rooms and cleans sheets everyday. Good kitchen with a nice breakfast including wholemeal bread, various jams and coffee etc. Big enough to hold enough people to keep things interesting but small enough to not be too crowded. Esp. helpful staff.

Pleasant stay
This was the first time I had to wash my dishes after breakfast. I hoped that other guests were deligent about washing with soap and hot water. There needed to be a larger raised drying rack with a drip pan to hold the many dishes and ensure they stayed clean and uncontaminated from the counter. Rooms can be hot. We were glad to be given a fan after the first night. There is potential for lots of noise from the 2 courtyards, if people stay up late.

Rooms without a view.....
Staff is very friendly. Kitchen is well equiped, event wineglasses! Breakfast is ok, you only have to add fruits and salty cold cuts, if you like this. There are only two rooms with private bathroom and several rooms have no window! Room No.1 ist for 6p. It has a window but no grating, so that everyone can jump in from the road

Exactly what we needed
Fantastic. We are a couple of Australian backpackers. Santiago was our first stop. Couldn't have asked for a better first up experience. Staff were especially helpful and knowledgeable in relation to Chilean culture. Good diversity of travellers. Chilean BBQ almost tops an Aussie one, Adios.

More than a backpackers
This is a hostel not a hotel- but it's better than a backpackers. Friendly , helpful staff, spacious double room, good location and excellent breakfast. We were older than most guests but never for a minute felt patronsied because of that! Instead we got good advice for outings and an easily arranged trip to Valparaiso. Go for it.

4/26(木)宿泊感想
4/26(木)に1泊しました。 イースター島 → チリ・サンチアゴ空港へのフライトがダダ遅れで (正確にはチョイ遅れ程度で到着したが、他のフライト予定の遅延の煽りでボーディングブリッジが開かずに通路待機) 日付を跨ぎそうだったので、さすがにマズいと思い、直接宿泊先に電話。 中学校教科書、ニューホライズン程度の片言英会話で四苦八苦しながらも 状況を伝え、それに合わせて頂き かつ理解して貰えて非常に助かりました。 翌朝、朝食時に色々な方とお話する機会があり 大変有意義な一泊となりました。
