The location was close to bars , parks, restaurants and the room was spacious and cosy. The hostel was a nice one also, with free coffee and tea and a kitchen and a smoking area and a hangout area aswell.
Recommend for a few nights for sure.

Equipe solícita, ambiente limpo e excelente localização.
Night staff member was friendly but also sang music so could hear in my room - so also bad sound insulation. Morning staff member indifferent and seemed standoffish, better off asking Google than her. Weird-ass token system for breakfast where you go to the front desk for a token and then you give it to the breakfast server who picks out the food for you as you choose it. So he just stares at you while you're looking at the choices. Food was not good, was cold, and small portioned even though in theory you're allowed to take as much as you want. But you only get to go to the feeding trough once so you better know how hungry you are. WiFi fast. Bathroom had too much chemicals used to be cleaned, smelled bad all night. Bed was terrible, you sink in and then can't move. Area is dangerous, Uber driver warned me not to be around the area at night.
Easy to access from the metro and the staff were very helpful. We had an early flight into Santiago and they let us store our bags there until check in while we went out and explored the city. They were also able to point us in the direction of a free city tour and helped us arrange a taxi to the airport for our early flight out when it was time to leave.
Foi incrível! Todos muito hospitaleiros, atenciosos, me senti muito acolhida, chuveiro maravilhoso! Quarto bem espacoso. Ambientes integrativos. Amei tudo
A hospedagem foi tranquila e o lugar é ótimo. Super limpo, bem localizado, perto de estação de metrô e de alguns pontos turísticos. Foram super acolhedores e atenciosos! Café da manhã tinha várias opções: pão com manteiga ou geleia, cereais, café, suco, frutas.
El hostal en general esta bien, limpio, las camas cómodas, tienen conexiones para para cargar cel y electronicos en cada litera; pequeño en todos sus espacios pero simpático, el personal es educado, no sentí como mucha calidez, pero si son educados y tampoco hacen malas caras. Lo único es que a pesar de la ubicación geográfica buena, esta en una calle secundaria, que esta feona y en la noche creo que si me pondría algo nervioso salir o entrar
We enjoyed our stay here. The hostal is in a good location where you can walk to many places. It's just minutes from the metro, supermarket, restaurants and major site seeing areas. The people are really helpful and nice. Breakfast is a buffet of eggs, fruit, juice, cereal, bread, jams, butter, coffee, milk and tea. We would definately stay here again.
