    We didnt feel any hostel atmosphere from this place, more of a guest house with several permanent lodgers, but perhaps this was just the period we were there.

    Place was great for our stay in Santiago, close to the nice area of town and it had nice facilities.

    Location isn’t the best but I knew that when I booked it. I didn’t really eat breakfast but it was a great spread.

    The rooms were amazing. Super comfortable bed and excellent air conditioning unit. I slept so well here and the shower had great pressure and easy to regulate temperature. Staff very nice

    While the location is in a good safe area in close proximity to a major park and some decent restaurants it is a little ways away from the city centre.

    Location and atmosphere. The hostel is a chill place with a full kitchen, common areas inside and outside. Right across the street is the Cerro Cristobal. A good hike with great views. Also, the bus stops literally right outside the front gate.

    Personel does not speak english! (or very badly). Strange and loud noises during the night, it was disrupting, but thats a problem of the neighbourhood not the hostel it self.

    Personel was very friendly and kind. Price is very good according to quality.

    Only mild English was spoken but enough to muddle through. If you're looking for 4-5 star, not the place for you. No room cleaning/food options/toilet paper is not flushable (same as the whole city), I bought my own toilet paper, a little confusing on how to clean your own room.

    Despite the Google reviews for the address the area is great!! Quiet and beautiful (simular to Bellavista but 1/3 the amount of traffic). Was on an easy, helpful bus route. Very safe facility and area. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and comfortable. Communal kitchen is always kept clean and has all the amenities needed.

    For light sleepers: wooden floor. If there's people in the room right next to yours, you might hear the floor "bending" and that might result in taking some more time to fall asleep. Shower/vanity do not have soap Couldn't contact them through email directly. Social media not up to date

    The staff tried their best to make our stay the most practical for our needs. They know the area very well and were happy to: 1- Recommend places to eat nearby 2- Offer a low rate to allow us to leave our backpacks for 12 hs after the check-out (since our plane was departing late night) 3- Looked after our luggage for 3 nights while we were away 4- Recommended a hike up a hill which was worth it 5- 4 blocks from Cerro Blanco metro/subway station, which is super easy to use

    The bathroom wasn’t always very clean and sometimes had no toilet paper. The rooms were quite small and a little noisy on some occasions.

    This hostel had a fantastic kitchen. The hosts were lovely and there was a real family atmosphere. The beds were very comfy.

    Very clean hostel and extremely friendly and helpful owners and staff! The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and is super clean and organized. There is a little patio with nice couches to hangout. The whole hostal is very cozy and located in a beautiful quarter of Santiago. We stayed over one week and could even borrow tools to fix some stuff in our car. The welcome to Chile could not have been nicer than with a stay in this hostal. We absolutely recommend to stay here!!

    Unfortunately electricity kept cutting out but would come back straight away. Slightly expensive for a hostel rate.

    Beds were super comfy, amazing TV in the double room and lovely hot shower. Friendly staff, location was close to Patio Bella Vista and cooking facilities were decent.

    Rooms very small Shared facilities were not clean: ants on kitchen surfaces, bins in shared bathroom not emptied regularly and thus strong foul smell, bedding was stained Multiple male staff live on site. Often hanging out in communal areas. Felt intrusive Refused to store our luggage for a few nights despite having a second reservation booked with them for our return.

    Large kitchen area 15min walk to centre Small shop on site

    our room was like an oven, it was so hot and no way of cooking it down, we also had a room on the main road and it was very loud all night, especially because we had the window open to try and cool the room. There is only one bathroom and it could probably be cleaned more frequently.

    the staff were very friendly

    The towels looked dirty. There was not enough space to hang and arrange things in the bathroom and in the living room. The lighting in the room was very dim. In our opinion, the quality does not match the price.

    Very nice staff. We were able to arrive in the morning and leave our luggage until check-in.

    Sadly the sink in the toilet produces strong odour whenever water is running, we are not sure if it was the water smell or the back flow smell from the tube.

    Nice balcony with orange tree.
