They only had warm milk to put in your cereal at breakfast. Odd. Other than that, great! Good kitchen facilities.

Hostel nice and staff ok but private rooms really small, and you will have problems with getting shower in shared bathroom, it is really hard to set up right temperature, but there is enough bathrooms so you can always go to another bathroom, breakfast typical for SA, I recommend it overall

Good hostel with an excellent location near Bellavista. There are nice restaurants, cafes and a nice park just around the corner. We had a double room ensuite. It was ok, the shower was really small, but ok. One really annoying thing (and the reason why we rated "Atmosphere" a little bit lower) is that it is really noisy (and we heard this from guests in other rooms too). You can hear everything (people talking, the door bell, etc.). Especially our room (nr. 6), which was close to a common area.

A girl at the reception desk was very confused about the system, and the room I reserved was not disponible for me... Louis, an haitian guy, helped us (very helpfull, ever), but I had to stay in a bed bunk one night (I have problems with this). The building needs some restorage... The kitchen is very good

Nice place, old but well kept building, single room was extremely small but clean and quiet, bathrooms not great stuff but acceptable. Excellent value for money.

Nice hostal, good situation. The patio is really nice, the 2 kitchens are great to cook. The bathrooms could be better maintained, but correct with hot water. The breakfast is good, with real bread ! Staff is really nice and helpfull. The only negative point was the size of our room (a private twin) that was really tiny, but fortunately had a window and was clean ! I would go bacj there !

Dirty linen, dirty bathrooms, clogged drains, a strong smell of cigarettes everywhere, poor breakfast (by the way, one day there was a lack of water in Santiago and just because of it the hostel was not able to provide us any breakfast at all). The staff are ok, helped us with important information. The location is the best, Providencia is a wonderful place to spend time in Santiago. Well, it's an old building with a noisy floor - wouldn't come back to this hostel.
