Hostelworld says:
La Chimba Hostel is set in the charming bohemian neighbourhood of Barrio Bellavista, just five minutes from La Chascona and the nearest metro station. Hostelworld guests have said the private rooms have 'all the amenities of a hotel with more character' and that they'd recommend this hostel because it has 'many open places to sit, mingle and drink'. This laid-back hostel has an outdoor terrace, clean comfortable beds and friendly staff who like to socialise with guests, hosting pub crawls, BBQs and more.

La Chimba Hostel says
I think Barrio Bellavista is arguably the most interesting district of Santiago, as far as cultural attractions and vibrant nightlife goes. The area is an oasis of colorful low-rise colonial architecture with leafy streets and a village-like atmosphere, and just a short walk to Plaza Italia, the Times Square of Santiago. The Baquedano Hub Metro station is located here and is the station that provides the most connectivity of the whole subway system. I particularly recommend visiting Cerro San Cristobal (the Metropolitan Park, a tall hill with a cable cart and amazing views of the city) and poet Pablo Neruda's former house, which is open to visitors. Both are less than two blocks away from our hostel.We can cater for people with disabilities and our hostel is suitable for independent solo travellers and couples seeking a social place to meet other travellers and experience Santiago's culture and nightlife.

I would confidently say this is the best hostel I have ever stayed in, having been travelling 3 continents for 12 weeks. The atmosphere is fantastic, the staff get involved with everything, it's literally just like hanging out with them, and they are super helpful (even when they are nursing huge hangovers from the bar crawl you both did the night before) Beds were extra comfy and the rooms nice, and the constant comedy playing on the lounge TV is nice to sit down to after a hard day in the city

Latest Review
Only had one night at the end of my trip before a flight home, but seemed to be one of the best located hostels I've stayed at in South America, also with the best beds and bathrooms. Would have chosen to here over another highly rated hostel in Santiago at the start of my trip in hindsight
