Reviews of Hostal de Sammy
They advertised pancake breakfast.... they supposedly had it on the days we left too early to eat any pancakes, and then a week later when I came back...

About Hostal de Sammy
We Do Free Breakfast Right! When most other hostels say free breaky, what they really mean is that you're getting bread, coffee and tea. But this isn't really breakfast, is it? For breakfast we cook home made pancakes (not from a box), usually with some type of fruit in them, scrambled eggs, homemade bread and jams, and also give you juice, coffee and tea. Now that's breakfast!
Hostal de Sammy was started by a North American (me) and my best friend (Sammy the dog). The hostel is an affordable yet full-featured accommodation in downtown Santiago. The idea was to create a living environment that felt comfortable for travelers no matter where they were from. From the start, Sammy was set-up so that the traveler pays one price that includes everything the hostel has to offer without any hidden costs. A foreigner away from home myself, I basically found a big house and stuffed it with all the things that I thought people would enjoy. The hostel, spit between 3 floors of an old mansion, uses the entire first floor as common space. This includes the kitchen, dinning room, game room, computer room, living room as well as the back patio.
Game room amenities include a pool table, foosball, a PS2 (with its own gaming couch!), an 8-speaker sound system as well as a ping-pong table on the patio. The computer room has 5 computers (microphones and webcams on every computer) with free unlimited internet and free laser printing. In the living room we have a HUGE 61-inch TV, satellite, a DVD player, and over 150 movies loaded and ready to go on our media center. At the back of the house there's a great patio with a large built-in BBQ ready whenever you need it.
