    Best all-around hostel near SanCristobal (bang for buck)

    They could buy some new kitchenwares. They need more table/chairs around...

    This hostel was the best for my needs, they got a clean kitchen, they clean all the rooms thoroughly (I am really allergic to animals at trace level, so believe me if I say they rooms are clean), they can help you for whatever needs you have, they are located not too far from the bars/clubs area if that's you thing... At one point, I had to leave a heavy luggage in order to go around Chile and they safely kept it in a safe area. Also, they are located nead CerroSanCristobal, in front of a supermarket, in what I considered a safe area. The area is quiet at night, but even during the day you will not be bothered since most rooms are further from the street.

    No option to pay with card in USD (or other foreign currency), hence had to pay the taxes. WiFi was very unstable and only good in the kitchen.

    Bus stop and supermarket right in front of the door, early check-in and baggage storage available. Kitchen facilities were great.

    The location of the hostel is perfect. The walking distance to San Cristobal and Bellavista provides many opportunities to dive into vibrant city life. The city center is also within a 20-minute walk, making the hostel the best location for exploring the city. The room was very tidy, well-equipped, and the personnel were always happy to help. They served homemade breakfast. We will be happy to return.

    Very clean hostel and extremely friendly and helpful owners and staff! The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and is super clean and organized. There is a little patio with nice couches to hangout. The whole hostal is very cozy and located in a beautiful quarter of Santiago. We stayed over one week and could even borrow tools to fix some stuff in our car. The welcome to Chile could not have been nicer than with a stay in this hostal. We absolutely recommend to stay here!!

    We didnt feel any hostel atmosphere from this place, more of a guest house with several permanent lodgers, but perhaps this was just the period we were there.

    Place was great for our stay in Santiago, close to the nice area of town and it had nice facilities.

    Location isn’t the best but I knew that when I booked it. I didn’t really eat breakfast but it was a great spread.

    The rooms were amazing. Super comfortable bed and excellent air conditioning unit. I slept so well here and the shower had great pressure and easy to regulate temperature. Staff very nice

    While the location is in a good safe area in close proximity to a major park and some decent restaurants it is a little ways away from the city centre.

    Location and atmosphere. The hostel is a chill place with a full kitchen, common areas inside and outside. Right across the street is the Cerro Cristobal. A good hike with great views. Also, the bus stops literally right outside the front gate.

    Only mild English was spoken but enough to muddle through. If you're looking for 4-5 star, not the place for you. No room cleaning/food options/toilet paper is not flushable (same as the whole city), I bought my own toilet paper, a little confusing on how to clean your own room.

    Despite the Google reviews for the address the area is great!! Quiet and beautiful (simular to Bellavista but 1/3 the amount of traffic). Was on an easy, helpful bus route. Very safe facility and area. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and comfortable. Communal kitchen is always kept clean and has all the amenities needed.

    For light sleepers: wooden floor. If there's people in the room right next to yours, you might hear the floor "bending" and that might result in taking some more time to fall asleep. Shower/vanity do not have soap Couldn't contact them through email directly. Social media not up to date

    The staff tried their best to make our stay the most practical for our needs. They know the area very well and were happy to: 1- Recommend places to eat nearby 2- Offer a low rate to allow us to leave our backpacks for 12 hs after the check-out (since our plane was departing late night) 3- Looked after our luggage for 3 nights while we were away 4- Recommended a hike up a hill which was worth it 5- 4 blocks from Cerro Blanco metro/subway station, which is super easy to use

    The bathroom wasn’t always very clean and sometimes had no toilet paper. The rooms were quite small and a little noisy on some occasions.

    This hostel had a fantastic kitchen. The hosts were lovely and there was a real family atmosphere. The beds were very comfy.

    - The room I was in was directly next to the outdoor lounge area, which included a punching bag. There were guests (both children and adults) screaming, watching loud videos and hitting the punching bag until past 11pm, which is incredibly disruptive. There need to be quiet hours set and enforced. - I got a knock on my door past 10pm, which as a solo female traveler, I am definitely not answering. Very questionable that there wasn't any possibility of contacting any staff at this time. - The windows/room were poorly insulated, which means the inside of my room smelled like cigarette smoke anytime a guest was smoking in the outside area. - The staff had mentioned they could provide a packed breakfast, since I was heading out early – didn't see any indication of this in the morning. - Had reached out to the host through booking with a question, and never heard back

    the location is good - a 10 minute walk to Koreatown
