It is probably the hardest review in my life... Let's start: The best thing about the hostel is it's staff. Guys at the reception, bartenders, Dali, cleaning staff, I just love you all, you are the best. You know that each of you has become a very important person and a friend. Atmosphere : if you travel alone, you will find your friends in Providencia. Rooms(stayed at both private and shared) are convenient, big lockers, comfy beds. Bathrooms:there are many, cleaning staff seems to work 24 hours, hot water, toilet paper, soap. Location-just perfect, walkimg distance from the 2 metro stations, bar neighbourhood, main street.

The breakfast service was wonderful. I'm always a hard critic when it comes to cleanliness and this Hostel did not disappoint. The staff went above and beyond, with information and storage. I ended up staying with these guys twice. This is definitely a great hostel to stay at and I would recommend it for any stay in Santiago :)

Some noise at night, because there were people coming back from partying.
Nice hostel in an interesting part of town. Plenty of nice restaurants, bars, and shops in walking distance. Easy to get to the Metro to explore the city. The staff were great and the atmosphere at the hostel was very friendly. The bar was good for meeting other travellers.

If you are sensible with noise, be sure to have a room on the courtyard side. Our room is on the road side and the window is not soundproofed at all (like everywhere in Chile they don't have double-glazed windows). It is extremely noisy at night, we barely cannot sleep.

“Great environment”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
The room I was given had very dim lighting and smelled heavily of sewage. Wifi would not reach it + I had to use 2.5GB of my own data as a result. The sheets here were very scratchy + irritated my skin. I was a little confused why I was the only guest booked in this wing of the Hostal? I also heard animals like rats crawling inside of the wall all night long. There was an odd painting of a warrior being murdered on the wall as well, and while I appreciate art, it seemed a bit morbid with the dim lighting combined with the rest of the rest of the previously mentioned things.
I liked the environment of the hostel. While I was here many people were also there traveling which made a lively environment. There are many seating areas for working or gathering. The staff was very kind.

I love the high security system in this hostel, it has keyless card that you get your deposit back in the check out plus they check in a person at a time while the others are at the waiting area.(Foyer) The hostel is very large, it has a big fridge and a self contained kitchen for self catering. A buffet for breakfast, bar and a separate kitchen to buy meals. It has lots of nice areas to seat and plenty of bathrooms.The internet is very good too.

The hostel staff was very friendly. A group of girls were being very loud when I arrived to my room, which would have made it difficult for me to sleep there. I went to the reception and the staff immediatly changed my room to a non-occupied 4-bed dorm. The hostel is huge, with over a hundred rooms and five buildings. It's very active and there's always someone you can go and talk to. Very good breakfast too!

The only real negative for me was I paid extra for a single room with shared bathroom but the bathrooms on my floor (5th floor) had really bad showers (no hot water and bad shower heads with hardly any water coming out). I had to go to another building in the complex to find a better bathroom to shower.
Nice breakfast (boiled eggs, bread, cereal, fruit, juice, coffee, tea). Wi fi was strong. Social. It has a bar. They have dinner nights I think every night, for around 5000CLP you get a good size meal and a drink. Close to metro. Close to Bella Vista bars/clubs if you want to party. The hostel organises bar hops which would be good for meeting people from the hostel.
