Tudo me agradou.

Très belle expérience. Une petite auberge sympathique et chaleureuse avec une belle ambiance. Permet de rencontrer d'autres voyageurs facilement.

Muy cómodo y la atención de su propietario 10/10

Todo ok

Ivan é super atencioso, gostei muito da localização e da recepção. Superou minhas expectativas.

De locatie was perfect en de eigenaar en zoon super gezellig 🎵🥰

The hostel is located in a quiet, safe neighborhood in Santiago, right near various bakeries, cafés, restaurants, and bars. The metro station for the city center is about a 10-minute walk away. The communal breakfast in the morning creates a sort of family atmosphere among the guests, and the breakfast was one of the best we had during our trip.

In a good area, very friendly environment and good breakfast.

I started my trip here 3 months ago and just had to come back and stay at the end of it. I was so lucky to stay at this hostel at the start of my journey. The owner Ivan was an absolute god send when starting out, he could not have been more helpful when I had various issues with my phone. His hosting skills are second to none and his BBQ skills are even better. The beds are super comfy due to the quality mattresses and proper down duvets. Water pressure is good and there is always hot water. Bkfst is really nice, freshly made herbed scrambled eggs and really good guacamole 😋. The small pool is really nice to have when the weather is hot. This hostel isn’t just a hostel, it is a home from home that gets filled with lots of new friends all the while. The social atmosphere here is what makes the place stand out amongst all the other hostels I have stayed in. If you are looking for a friendly and helpful place to stay in Santiago then this ideal. It is also in a really safe area surrounded by excellent places to eat and drink.

Absolutely nothing, it is a great place to stay.

Frühstück alle zusammen im Wohnzimmer (zwar eher spät ab 9:30 - 10:30) Ambiente des Hostels sehr gemütlich.

Badezimmer eher ein bisschen runtergekommen.

La atención de Ivan y la buen onda que se genera en el lugar.

Nada.

La atención del dueño

This hostal is like home. It’s my favourite place after weeks and weeks of traveling. Very limited beds so everyone interacts with one another. It’s the first place I’ve been where people actually converse instead of being glued to phones. Great breakfast provided where everyone eats together. Nice and safe neighbourhood - Barrio Italia. Ivan is super helpful and cares a lot about our comfort. The whole vibe of the hostel is exactly what I needed to relax and make plans.

Nothing.

Felt super homey!! The owner is incredibly friendly and attentive. Facilities and breakfast were lovely. Safe area as a solo female traveller

Everything was perfect- only thing to note is it requires cash payment on check out which could have been clearer!

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Ivan has created a true home away from home where like minded people can meet and have a great time. Amazing breakfast, amazing people, amazing Aperols with the best host imaginable ❤️

The staff were friendly and breakfast was tasty. The location was near to good restaurants.

The bunks have no safety rails for top bunk and feel quite flimsy. There is only 1 shower for over 14 people. Cleanliness could be improved. Loud music going into the early hours of the morning.

Best hostel I ever stay in South America, nice vibes. there is a beautiful pool The owner is amazing. glad a spend the time here

Ivan is geweldig. Hij maakte het alsof het je thuis was en ik zou zeker terugkomen voor hem en zijn plek. Het zwembad en de stoelen eromheen zijn top. Het ontbijt elke ochtend met elkaar voelt als een familie.

Met een paar kleine dingen kan het comfort van het hostel wel echt verbeterd worden: bij elk bed een plankje aan de muur, een kast die niet kapot is en waar de winterdekens ergens anders gestald worden, een prullenbak in de kamer.

colazione ottima con avocado, affettati, formaggi e marmellate. Posizione ottima , si può raggiungere il centro a piedi e la zona è molto sicura anche per chi viaggia solo. Proprietario fantastico e molto amichevole :)

Heerlijk hostel. Vriendelijke eigenaar. Zwembad! In de wijk providencia erg gezellig, centraal en veilig. Ontbijt is echt top.

Localização

Un hôte exceptionnel et de belles rencontres 😊

Tout était OK 👍

Bom café da manhã; Quarto amplo e espaçoso; banheiro limpo; boa localização, próximo de bons restaurantes, supermercados, estação de metro...; boa internet; o responsável, Sr. Ivan é atencioso e possui boas informações para os turistas.

Não há água quente nas pias; apenas um banheiro (com chuveiro) e um lavabo atendendo a todos os quartos, inclusive aos quartos privados do interior da residência; senti falta de um aquecedor no quarto e\ou para os cômodos comuns; não há separação dos lixos recicláveis e não recicláveis; a louça suja usada pelos responsáveis do hostel fica acumulada na pia depois de um certo horário; não há grandes armários, apenas pequenos para guardar objetos de valor.

Ótima localização

Booked 1 night and stayed for 3. It was great. The bfast could use more cinnamon 😋.

Honestly. still my favorite hostel in Santiago, by far! Ivan is a superstar. He genuinely loves his work and that shows in his interactions with the people in the hostel (even when some of them are more demanding). His energy creates an incredible family-like atmosphere where everyone feels welcome to interact with other solo travelers, eat together, chill together and more. This was my 3rd time in the hostel and everything is as I remember - clean spaces, rooms, spacious dorms, huge private room, nice pool and outside area, great kitchen, always available toilets/bathrooms. Bonus: The neighbourhood is probably the most interesting, while still being super safe ones in Santiago. It's got good coffee, food, vibes and more all within a few blocks. I plan to be back everytime I spend a few days in Santiago.

The owner Iván is someone from another world 👽 Seriously!

Nothing. Everything was absolutely wonderful

Great host, comfortable and feels like a home

Great location and value. The host made us feel at home, and we felt pretty comfy and safe.

N/A

Great location and staff. Breakfast was wonderful too.

Payment in cash only!

Lovely social hostel, with a lovely owner and lovely place to relax by the pool.

Awesome location with good vibes! The pool is helpful to get along with the heat in Santiago. Great fun, highly recommended!

This place is amazing, especially for solo travelers. It's set up in a way that makes it really easy to hang out in the central garden space, and everyone just chats and goes out together. The pool's also great for a hot day. The location is AMAZING. I love the Italiano neighborhood. It's super safe to walk around at night. The breakfast is huge and filling. I liked it so much I came back.

Nothing.

Ivan, the owner was such a nice guy, made everyone feel welcome!

Lovely folks hosting, great location. The pool is fab. Such a homely feel, brilliant all round.

A few tiny tweaks could improve this brilliant hostel - for example shelves inside the shower in the shared bathroom, so you can bring your toiletries in without having to put them on the floor.

Everything. Wonderful oasis in the most interesting part of Santiago (Barrio Italia). Ivan the owner is a very nice person and speaks English fluently. The rooms were clean and the breakfast delicious.

Very friendly and open place with a wonderful feeling of togetherness. Cosy and welcoming. Nice people. Very nice owner. Perfect location.

Amazing hostel! Would’ve loved to stay longer. In a great location, right amongst the bars and restaurants of Barrio Italia. Beds are super comfortable and the pool is so great to have after a day in the hot sun. Sitting around the backyard at night drinking wine and piscos makes it so easy to meet people and make friends. Iván is the real star and he goes out of your way to make you feel at home. Definitely coming back!

Everything was excellent. Ivan is a very welcoming and interesting person. The place was in a very lively and nice neighbourhood.

Great location, nice and friendly staff, hostel is small so has a very cozy vibe. Guests are few so it’s good to meet people if traveling solo, there were always plans in the evenings

Common areas were a bit dirty, rooms were small and with no closet space

Iván is a great host—friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a nice bonus and the accommodations were comfortable and clean. water was hot for the shower after the usual minute (this is Chile after all) and everything was good about the stay.

Tiene buen ambiente, lo malo es su ubicación, está algo lejos de cualquier estación de metro y debes caminar mucho.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. Comfortable bedding, towels provided, cute pool area for lounging, good WiFi. Loved the neighborhood, which is pleasant to walk around and had tons of great places to eat and drink.
