Was a great experience overall. The only problem that we noticed is that one of the main doors was easily left unlocked. The door that led right to the office was always locked but we noticed one evening that the other door which leads directly upstairs to the rooms was unlocked and left wide open for anyone to walk up. Staff should ensure that this door is always locked or should install an alarm to alert them to this if if happens.

This hostel felt more like a school, not cosy at all. Breakfast was decent and facilities were not too bad, although the computer was really slow. I don't like the single dorm thing, and the walls are thin, so don't expect privacy or a good night's sleep...

Really liked this hostel, nice and quiet at night but still a good atmosphere. Good mix of people but definitley not a party hostel. Very clean and secure - staff at reception always seemed happy to help

Ecohostel is very hostely- by that I mean a lot of people coming through, offers tours etc. I don't mean this negatively, it was not rowdy and hosted a wide variety of people. The location was on a quiet street just off a big university area with lots of young people and some fun artsy districts.

Problem with internet booking was eventually resolved with manager in a satisfactory way. Enjoyed the BBQ dinner which was excellent. Appreciated use of computer, books and luggage storage and the use of lounge till making transfer to airport. Would recommend this hostel to others

We booked a double room. There was no window in the room that could be opened. No air-conditioning, only a ventilator. No other negative points.

To stay there for 2 or 3 days is o.k. But during the summer time the bedrooms without windows are not very comfortable to sleep, although there was a ventilator in the room.

If you're looking for a good night sleep, I wouldn't recommend. Loud at night and a younger crowd. Lives up to it's eco-title which is great

An excellent place to stay. Great location, close to subway, supermarket etc..walking distance to nearly everything. Clean facilities, great breakfast, silent at night. Nice outside veranda, colourful rooms. Good value for money - one of the best hostels I´ve stayed!

Absolutely outstanding. Great hostel, great atmosphere. Really clean. Breakfast at Eco Hostel is better than in any 4 stars hotel. Looks like being at home. One of the best hostels I've ever been to.

The location was not close to the metro station. Other things were alright.

I love the hostel. Good localization you can do almost everything on foot or take the subway. It is really clean and the staff is really helpful. And the Hostel offers tours difference that you can see in the agency in the city and the prices with you have one group with 4 people is a good price

Excellent hostel, clean, hot water, good vibe. Not the sort of place that parties all night, unless you want to.

Though not in the heart of the tourist district, it was a great central location to make getting around Santiago a breeze! Great social atmosphere, but allowed plenty of privacy if you didn\'t want to visit! Stayed here on two different occasions- the rooms with the windows along the street were lovely, but a little noisy at night. Staff was friendly and the lobby is full of the info you\'ll need for your stay in the city.

This was honestly, one of the best hostels I've stayed in. The staff is awesome, and they are always willing to help you out with anything. The rooms are big! The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are always clean. They have two patios that are perfect for reading, eating, drinking, chilling, or making friends! They dining room is great and the kitchen is perfect. I couldn't recommend this hostel more.

we stayed at eco hostel for one night having arrived to santiago after a 17h flight. We arrived at around 12 and were told at first that we can check in at 13, but after all we were told that we can only get access to our room at 5! they had emptied all the rooms as they some sort of insert infestation...did not really see anything though. room pretty basic, bathroom/showers on the first floor much nicer than ground floor. it has a nice patio with a hammock and siting area.

The normal time for check in is at 12:00 or may be 30 minutes later if we are still cleaning the room. Exactly that day we did a preventive fumigation because in many Hostels in Chile and other countries appear some insect pests not nice for travelers. We gave all this information to every guest in the Hostel

Really nice hostel, friendly staff, good facilities, comfortable beds. A little bit of a trek from the main things, especially with a backpack on, but close to a good supermarket and some good value bars and restaurants. I´d stay here again!

Universidad Catolica Metro Station is at 4 blocks or 8 minutes walking.

Good hostel, very good breakfast, nice to get to make your own bed so you know its clean. Bathrooms fresh, exept a few with tons of ants. Tidy kitchen. Nice patio. a bit away from everything but a safe and nice walk.
