La Chimba Hostel Reviews

Lovely private room at the back of the hostel. Staff are friendly and always willing to help. Good atmosphere in the hostel. Clean room.

Great place! Staff were awesome, showers were hot, Internet worked, dozens of bars within the block, I'll be back!

Cool Hostel with a great Amosphere. Location in Barrio bellavista - good for party and culture but some streets close to Hostel by night a little unsafe. Nice Staff and good breakfast.

Very cool hostel. But you need to have luck to find a shower with hot water.

In terms of atmosphere It is the best hostel i have ever stayed in... I really reccomend... the location is perfect and the staff is awesome... the only missing thing is a bar or restaurante inside, but there is a botelleria (liquor store) and a empanada place very very close... couldnt ask for more... congrats, La Chimba!

La Chimba was awesome! The staff were amazingly friendly and super welcoming. They were definitely the best part about the whole hostel.

Its nice but just a little disorganised. Staff are trying to help but dont really know what their doing. Everything felt like a bit of an effort. I was there midweek and can imagine it can be a cool place when its a bit busier. They need to sort out some air conditionning in the single person private rooms though. admittedly it was a heatwave but that room was so crazily hot even with the fan going full blast

When I arrived, my room wasn't cleaned. But after complaining, the receptionist cleaned the room for me and changed the sheets. There was free internet access. The room was very quiet and quite spacious. The lounge was very nice.

lots of people partying, and an annoying karaoke bar across the street which is much worse if you have a room that is on the second floor directly across the street... These rooms also can be an unfortunate place if the other guests decide to sing/drink/yell etc till sunrise in the front patio area below your window... Back rooms are nice and quiet though. If it weren't for the noise this place would've been recommendable

La Chimba is a great hostel to stay at right off the bus or out of the airport. We had just arrived in South America and were very overwhelmed, but were at home in the comfortable double room with free breakfast, nothing special but toast with butter and jam to get us through to lunch. The staff was a litttle standoffish and cliquey but there were language barriers. great neighbourhood and very secure, although the noise from the street and downstairs is quite instense. All in all a great hostel

It was such a great hostel. Everything was perfectly settled. I had so much fun and the staff were really helpfull. I loved the ambience of the hostel, the colored walls, the paintings and the rest of the furniture. The neighbourhood in which it is placed is amazing, totally bohemian and cultural. I absolutely loved that place.

Thanks Simon and Joe! You make this place, what it is.

Nice hostel in the center of Bellavista. Spotless location to party and to visit the city. Nice open-air patios to chill out or to eat in summer. Plenty of bathrooms to use with hot shower. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Breakfast is basic but OK. Muy buena onda when the hostel is packed. Very good value for money in Bellavista.

Great staff, great location, we stayed here twice. Try and get the rooms in the back of the hostel, they are way better then the ones up front. They could use a couple more computers though...

We really liked this place! Keep up the good work!

This is a relly good hostel at the heart of Bella Vista neighbourhood. There are 3 houses, with 2 chilling areas ! I totally recomend ! Ask for barbecues at the other hostel of the group (bella vista hostel).

It was a lovely experience! It´s possible to amke new friends, the staff is very kind and the location is near the pubs and the subway! I recommend!

big hostel! good people, nice pleace and very cool stuff! the best hostel in santiago!

I just stayed for one night but I liked this hostel. The staff was very friendly and the location very central. I regret the noise of the streets, clubs and bars around, but it was the week-end. Fortunately, I had earing plugs.

The hostel was located in a very nice area of Santiago (Bella Vista) with a lot of bars and restaurants. There is also a very nice park close by with very nice views over the city. Hostel itself is good. It is clean, staff is nice, showers are warm and Wifi works well. The only comment I could make is that they are only selling water at the bar. So if you want to drink something else, you have to arrange that yourself, but there are little super markets close by.
