The hostel is right in the centrer of Santiago. YOu have museums, cathedral, townhall around.You can go to the shopping malls in the pedestrian street + supermarkets and fish market by foot. The view from their terrace is very nice as you are on the 6th floor. Rooms are large and clean. They offer a lot of services and the staff is really nice. The best hostel ever.

The hostel was hard to find, but once we were there they took excellent care of us. The private room was comfortable and had an excellent view of the plaza. The staff also booked a taxi to take us to the airport at the end of our stay and let us use the luggage and common rooms until our evening flight. Highly recommended!

Awesome view and great atmosphere. I think late night revellers were asked to be quiet and considerate, for the first time in a noisy hostel, which was appreciated. The girl at the reception as we arrived was really helpful and very nice. My friend left her trousers behind and they said they'd hold on to it for another friend to pick up. Only stayed one night and didn't use the kitchen facilities, but would return.

The Hostel is situated in a very old (not cool old, just old) commercial/residencial building in the city center. The double room I've got (ensuite) is not even in the same floor as the hostel. Is just a lost room in a corner of a very large floor full of old dodgy commercial rooms and residential rooms packed with people coming and going. If anybody decides to break into your room while you're not there nobody from the hostel will be able to stop them. Very little hot water.

Dear Thanks for your comments. It's a shame that the hostel disapoint you. In deed the building is old, one of the oldest of the city and declared national heritage, but count with security cameras in each floor constantly reviewed and 24/7 staff at the entrace to filter that no one that not belong to the building go inside. We did check the check the water supply to very that any prolbem been solved. Our apologize for any incovinient caused. Thanks and Best regards, Carlos Rojas Manager.

Brilliant!!! Idyllic views over the Plaza at night from the roof terrace.Staff were incredibly friendly & hospitable, the owners invited us to celebrate chile's national celebrations on the terrace with wine and empanadas.Funky decor, clean, breakfast inc,lockers,hot water.Metro plaza de armas exit "Ahumada".Hostal is in a very classic building with a lovely old elevator which is manned.Ideal location for metro, food, shopping and museums.Perfect for few days stop over in Santiago.5stars.!
