La Casa Roja Reviews

Amazing place as my first port of call in SA. Beautiful building obv lovingley restored. Light and airey, spacious and a nice relaxed atmos. Would deffo recommend. Only down fall travel desk not helpful at all and some the recption staff just cant be arsed to help you - however, others are amazing and bend over backwards so swings and roundabout i guess!

The hostel is really rustic and has a lot of charm.The pool is refreshing during the daytime heat, but bear in mind that it is not heated. The kitchen is huge/well-stocked with pans but fridge space is tight. Walking to the Plaza takes about 25 minutes & the staff, although not warm and cuddly, were willing to help us navigate Santiago. Use the airport transportation service provided, it's much cheaper than the cab we took to get there. The neighboring area has many types of restaurants/bars.

A great hostel with lots of character and large rooms. A good kitchen and a garden with a pool. If you want to party, this is the place for you. If you want quiet restful nights, not the place to be.

Great hostel! Pool area was nice and relaxing easy to meet people breakfast not included which was a shame as most hostels do but it was cheap to purchase! Strongly recommend it! Just lock up ur bags cuz there was a couple thefts!

I really enjoyed my 3 nights in casa roja santiago.. The hostel has to be the biggest one ive ever seen!! The rooms are massive, amazingly big kitchen, the pool area is great, it has 2 bars one inside and one near the pool, there is a lounge for watching some tv so overall it was a great experience for me.. The only downside for me was the location which was far from the metro and there werent any decent supermarkets nearby so i ended up eating junkfood most of the time as there are plenty:))

Very good indeed.

Very nice atmosphere- great garden and a very special old house- wonderful! a little noisy at night but very laid back and wonderful. would definitely recommend to stay there.

the honest truth, huge hostel,nice backyard area, very noisy hostel.

The internet in the lobby sucks very often no connection....on the pool is the best place for internet. The workers doesnt know who sleeps in which bed they told me number 2 later in the night there was another guy sleeping in my day. On the next day they told me i have bed8 next day it was 4

The staff are incompetent

A frustrating hostel ultimately - a stunning building with excellent space and facilities. However, it is poorly run and organised. Plus, way too noisey - the 'shed' nightclub went on until 7AM one morning. It could be such a great hostel, but currently falls short in all areas....

There are certainly better hostels. Don't be fooled by the pictures, there's no such atmosphere in the place. I asked on the reception for a pick-up transfer to the airport and was overcharged, I could read on a paper on the wall it was 10.000 chilean pesos and they charged me 12.000 chilean pesos, in addition the driver left me in the middle of the parking lot of the airport. It seemed to be an unauthorized car, because he asked me to pay him discreetly. Would never come back to this place.

Awesome....really amazing atmosphere. Good parties there. I highly recomend!!!!!

Beds are really comfortable. Staff were kinda useless though. Very impressed with the kitchen, it's massive and well equipped

Very fun party hostel. Dorms are HUGE, by far the largest i've come across in the whole of South America, with massive lockers. Kitchen is also vast, with several large fridges, and very good wifi. The pool area is great too. The only very slight negative is that it is quite far from the Bellavista area where most of the nightlife is.

Great pool and bar

Everything was excellent. Very friendly and helpful staff especially

Casa Roja is one of the best Hostels I've stayed at. If you're looking for a relaxing, peaceful stay this probably isn't for you. But if you enjoy travelling, meeting others, grabbing a beer by the pool, and walking to nearby bars and restaurants, Casa Roja is the perfect place for you. It's extremely large so you'll never run out of other guests to meet. There's a large pool in the back with a bar, ping-pong table, etc. The kitchen is massive, as are the rooms. Always a good time here.

The backyard is great and with a barbecue and a pool becames much better!!!

I stayed there for a week, it was great! I meet a lot of people, and i'll go back in feb. The only problem was the unfriendly staff... But still I had a great time.
