Had a great stay, very nice hostel. It’s huge, has several kitchens, and a gym! It’s easy to get to from the airport and everything I wanted to see was within walking distance. There’s tona of restaus and cafes nearby. I stayed in a private room, and it was roomy, and clean. The ppl at reception are nice, and helpful. There’s something going on every day. Highly recommend.

Everyone was friendly and fun. Water bottle got snatched, or trashed, no big deal, i shouldn't have left it in a shared space. Frat vibes a bit after hours. Noticed more men than women hanging out in the evenings, but all types of people were there including families. Met a few cool people and glad i stayed. Beds are comfy, felt safe, close to lots of places to eat, grocery stores, Metro and even a little skatepark.

Overall is a good hostel, many spaces, different areas, good kitchen, friendly staff, so i rate 5 stars that.
Unfortunately, the beds are TERRIBLE. Seriously, how do you put an aluminum plate under every mattress?that sounds so loud at a minimum movements making impossible to sleep. The floor is very noisy too, so basically you won't be able to sleep. The upper bunks don't have fence so you could easily fall from bed.
Lockers are good, toilets were overall clean but no soap.
Please get rid of those beds and your hostel will become the best in Santiago

I booked a private bedroom With a private bathroom .I checked in at 2 am , super tired, first they wanted to offer me a bedroom with a bathroom in the hallway since the bathroom inside the ensuite was broken. I refused since I paid for a private ensuite. So they put me in a private ensuite , that had mold all over the ceiling with a horrible mold smell! It was already 3 am and I had to spend the night, the next day they promised to move me .By the evening they moved me to another private , but the heater was broken , so I was freezing all night as I couldn't use the dusty smelling blanket and just slept in my clothes and jacket . the staff is nice and helpful and the hostel is very social , however that comes with a lot of noise . So pick carefully .

The first thing you notice is very nice personnel who speak better English than the reception of airport Hilton does. The second thing - the property is huge and somewhat worn out. But after 5 nights I got used to it.
The crowd is mixed - both backpackers and mature couples. There are both dorms and private room at the property.
I wish there was a walking tour on offer, these things are more fun than a van from Chiletour. In general, I wish there were better tours on offer. But I don't know whether there is anything better available in Santiago.

Staff members are friendly and helpful. There is a bar on the property which occasionally gives out free pisco sour. The room is not spacious, and there aren't a lot of amenities, but it is what you'd expect from a hostel. The location is good, being close to a Metro station and several dining options. Overall the experience is pleasant.
