La Chimba Hostel Reviews

Pros: great location, friendly staff, thick blankets, interesting building. Cons: No heating, no WIFI in the room, no bar.

Great surprise. Much more than we expected for the cost. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Private double room had all the amenities of a hotel with more character. Great value and great location. Two complaints; Shower lacked hot water in room and breakfast was lacking in variety.

It couldn't possibly be in a better location. five minutes walk from the metro, a skip to good bars, restaurants and off-licenses. The staff is super friendly, the building is huge - with an amazing pool table -, but staff tend to miss that part when touring new customers the hostel. Despite not having a bar, guests and staff create a pleasant atmosphere.

We booked a double room to stay with my girlfriend and had several problemas: windows were totally open and it was freezing outside. We asked for some heating, which they didnt have, so only option was some blankets. My sorprise was when the guy told me that he had to check if they have enough cause he also needed one. Of course, we only got one, really durty by the way. Also, be aware that double rooms have windows to the frontyard, where they play really loud music and stay till 4am drinking.

Great hostel in a really great area. You can crawl to all the bars and restaurants. The metro is a 5 minute walk away. The staff was also really nice and personable. I\'d definitely stay here again.

Excellent location!

Had a really good time here. I had all my stuff stolen off the bus on the way to Santiago and the staff were amazing at looking after me for the first couple of days as i got everything sorted! Really fun place with a great bunch of people and a great atmosphere every night! would definately go back!

basically a very nice hostel but their breakfast ran out of cornflakes for 2 days and fruits for 1 day

It could be a little cleaner but still a decent hostel

Awesome staff, stylish, very good location, just one block from Pio Nono, with lot of bars!

Had a good stay there last week for 4 nights. Close to all the Bellevista nightlife. The barbecue night was good fun.

Guests should request a room outside main building because noises from lobby/reception including music and doorbell otherwise disrupts a quiet sleep. Good place to stay.

well, what to say: it has been the 7th time that I came back to my second home in southamerica. so there is no need to discribe how much I like the place, the locacion, the staff, the atmosphere, the rooms, the beds, the showers,...! The only thing I don´t like in highseason: it gets growded and you have to have a reservacion. in wintertime I used to walk in and had a great time. so hurry and get a night or two. HIGHLY RECOMEND!!!!

Amazing, laid-back vibe in one of the best neighborhoods of Santiago! Awesome overall.

I stayed here three times, in various rooms. It really depends on your luck, as some of the dorms are very nice, spacious and well lit, while others are crammed and with no natural light. Staff is helpful though, location is good, breakfast is average, internet is good in some locations, not in others. This is a big hostel, so if you prefer smaller cozier hostels it may not be your type.

This hostel is very close to the areas bars and restaurants. It is almost like a maze, with 3 seperate buildings which only lends to the character of the place. Really nice vibe, great rooms and really nice showers. Enough going on to class it as a party hostel whilst being a great place to relax. Great BBQ at sister hostel. Well worth a stay !!

staff is great, i had a blast! thank you all!

sweetly located by what you need, graffiti murals, dining, cheap beer and eats. Massive location connecting three houses. The place has its own soundtrack, remote pool table and cable. staff can get you around town and through life on the cheap because they're living it as well....tell them "Santa" sent you

this place was great It had many open places to sit, mingle and drink! The atmosphere was fantastic and all places in Bellavista are only a short walk away. We did have some ants in our room that were kind of a nuisance, but overall it was a good place to have drinks, meet people and have fun.
