The place offers spacious and clean rooms at fair rates. Staff is friendly and helpful and the hostel lies within walking distance to Bellavista and close to a metro station. WiFi is not available everywhere and during our stay there was a lack of atmosphere due to the fact that the other guests seemed to be mainly interested in hanging... More

My girlfiend and I stayed here in mid-March 2013 and had a very pleasant time. The neighbourhood is lovely and reminded me a little bit of home (Melbourne, Australia): tree-lined streets, restaurants, bars and hipsters. It’s about a 7 minute walk to a couple of metro stations which is the best way to get around the city. We were greeted... More

Went here for 4 days and did not want to leave! Stayed in the garden suite and it was lovely. Staff were excellent! One to recommend! Breakfasts were nice and we loved the garden and pool! Really handy for the subway station and its in a lovely quiet and safe neighbourhood.

We are staying here at the moment. Ivan is an amazing host.... Jason is very welcoming.... Would highly recommend this hostel. We are staying in the pool view bungalow - very clean. Lots of restaurants close by and easy to get around on the metro from here. The BBQ nights weekly are great fun and highly recommended.

For the true backpackers this is a gem of a hostel! A kitchen to cook your meals, a lounge to relax in, even a guitar to strum if you can hold a tune and small pool if the weather is good! The owner Ivan is very helpful and speaks fluent english! This is a very friendly welcoming place.. But be... More

This hostel was really nice, nice and small and like being in a comfy houseshare. It didn't have the impersonalness you get with larger hostels. Ivan, the owner, was funny and friendly, and everyone I met said hello and so on. Best bits: fresh bread for breakfast, comfy bed, free internet, owner giving me free wine (thanks Ivan!), close to...

good location in a quite neighborhood. very good customer service. This is a small safe hostel. Do not expect something special but is more than ok if your choise is a clean small friendly place. Rooms are small and breakfast is basic.

Given the great reviews of this hostel, I definitely expected a bit more. The beds were OK, but when the person in the bed under mine moved, my bed moved too, which made it tough to sleep. The room was also hot and full of sick people (not the hostel's fault, but definitely not pleasant). Lastly, the rooms were just... More

This is a wonderful place. The best hostel I've stayed at in all of Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Brazil.. Everyone is helpful and friendly, the beds and bathrooms are great and so is the breakfast. There's a good kitchen too, so it's easy to cook for yourself, when there's not a bbq or anything else on. I am definitely... More
