The staff was superb, very friendly and helpful. The showers were hot, the commodes clean, and the sinks convenient. The dorms were in good order with good lockers. The location was within 10 minutes of a Metro station, and within walking distance of Plaza de Armas, the Cathedral, and some museums. Restaurants and cafés abound. A good, safe area to have as a base in Santiago.

I really liked the breakfast, specially the big fruit selection. Also the atmosphere is awesome because the other guests and staff are very nice. I'm definitely going to stay again in this hostel the next time I'm in Santiago.

This hostel is amazing! The location is very central, and the the staff members are super helpful. I really like that it's a friendly, social atmosphere without the loud, obnoxious partying at night. Next time I'm in Santiago, I'm definitely going to Santiago Backpackers.

This was the best hostel I've stayed in while traveling in South America! The owner and staff are so helpful, and the breakfast is great. They also have free dinner once a week. I will definitely stay here when I return to Santiago.

It's very close to the historic centre, so you can arrive to the most of famous and importat places just walking. There was only one computer and was extremely slow!!

I spent one night at backpackers. I arrived very late in the night because my flight mas delayed. The girl at the counter was'nt too friendly but it was all together OK. The rooms are nice and wide and so are the lockers. There was no hot water in the shower and that was a little bit annoying... The breakfast was pretty dull but I think that's the standart more or less... All together, a fine place to stay, didn't leave a great impression on me to either side.. Enjoy :-)

Thanks for your review. Our hot water is working properly, we have a combined solar and gas heated water system which make us very proud to be greener. In fact, there might be moments in which the water takes a few minutes to heat because of the distance from the boiler. This takes 1 minute for our staff to fix, so don't worry!

This is a great hostel. The location is excellent, very close to loads of great parks, bars, shops and restaurants. The building is nice and clean and the rooms are very well equipped, the staff are helpful and the hostel organise a lot of fun activities for the guests. I strongly recommend this place.
