I am very happy with Che Lagarto Viña del Mar hostel. The Staff is great and the hostel is very comfortable. The atmosphere is quiet and if you prefer to rest it´s a really good place to choose. The Location is great! you are near to The Beach and to a few Bars to have a Drink at night.

had locker broken into, thankfully male receptionist realised and caught the man with our bag. kitchens average but we had a bbq in the spacious outdoor area

This place was a bad dream. It`s like a run-down frat house complete with people puking on the lawn out front. Our room smelled of gasoline, although everything seemed clean. Also, our deposit was not properly applied to our room and when I complained to Hostelworld, the manager lied about the events leading to our departure from this hostel. The Che Lagarto in Santiago is a clean dump, but the friendly staff there made all the difference.

yerr chilled

A little tricky to find in a sketchy neighborhood. There are very few bathrooms and none have properly locking doors. There\'s also a bad ant problem. Only two computers with internet access. But, the staff were pretty friendly and the rate is fairly average for expensive Vina.

El baño estaba sucio, la pared de atrás de la cama se estaba cayendo, el staff poco amable. No es el ambiente que uno espera para un lugar tan lindo como Viña / The bathroom was dirty, the wall behind the bed was falling down, the staff wasn't polite. Isn't a good atmosphere.

It's too noisy at night, The music plays until 1:00 AM. This is not a night club! This is a HOSTAL ! Sorry guys! You should improve.

It\'s a decent hostel, about a 10 minute\'s walk from where most of the action is downtown. My comforter had some stains on it and the toilet in our room didn\'t like flushing, but aside from that it was a good hostel. The staff were nice and accommodating. Just make sure you reconfirm your stay if you\'re running late that day!!

Che Lagartes is a hostel with a good atmosphere and there is lots of space. I met very nice people and the stuff was friendly! The bathrooms are quite good and I appreciated the breakfast. The only downturn is that the lockers (the ones that aren't broken) are not very safe and that there are a lot of party people... so if you look for a quiet place that's maybe not it. I had a really good time there and I will come back!

Be careful with the room 105, it has bedbugs.

Could be a decent place but my stay was terrible. I woke up at 3am in a bed crawling with bed bugs. Days later my skin is covered with over one hundred itchy bites. Spent the rest of the night sleeping in the lobby but it was too late. I refused to pay, but spent more than the cost of the bed to have all my belongings cleaned. Other guests in the hostel speculated that the managment was aware of the infestation in the dorm room and continued to rent beds anyway. If so, that´s way uncool...

Seriously one of the poorest hostels I've been so far to. Price is way too high for what you get. And they have a very strange exchange rate. Saying that it would be 20 dollars per night and then taking a 10% higher exchange rate if you wanted to pay in Chilenian pesos. Weren't able to handle the high season, so many people had to sleep on a couch. On top of that, people in other rooms had serious bites of bedlice. John counted 163 bites. Rooms have poor character. And theft was reported.

very good breakfast, but often to loud until midnight

Our room was infested with bed bugs. INFESTED.

It was a huge disapointment. The staff was kind of rude, the location is kind of far, and it was not very clean.

The review in the lonely planet guide hits the nail on the head. Its quite sterile and although there is a reasonable effort by staff to arrange outings it lacks a collective unity between guests. Cold showers every day in the 4 bed dorm. The hostel is in Vina del Mar rather than Valpo, although its about a 10 minute walk to an excellent metro system that has you there in about 10 minutes

Ok hostel not amazing and not poor.. Breakfast is ok, staff are pretty helpfull, location is fine near the beach.. But you could find cheaper hostels on the central street.,

A very friendly and honest staff, big rooms, lots of excelent and services and dinners provided. Although it is very near the subway station and the beach, the hostel is located on a hill. It may be better to take a taxi if you are carrying too much weight.

I had the best time there!!! Great location, great city and great people, couldn`t have a better place to be at new year`s !!!I And all the staff is great... Thanks Karina, Tânia, Arturo y Felipe por todo... You guys are great !!! Keep up the great work and enviroment of the hostel !!! See ya guys !!!
