IT'S A SCAM AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK!
I was dropped off in the muddle of a dangerous neighborhood at 10pm. They wouldn't open the door. A guy from the other side of the door said they were never there. I WANT THIS HOSTEL REPORTED TO THE AUTHORITIES AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK IN FULL!!!

Great choice for the price
The staff were very helpful and friendly. It’s an old airy building, but very comfortable with several spaces to relax, both indoor and outdoor. The shared kitchen is well stocked and they are committed to recycling and composting. Hot water 24hrs a day and cereal, toast, fruit and biscuits provided for a self service breakfast. Quiet location, but an easy walk to the centre of town.

Simplesmente Arrasouuuuuu.... voltarei com certeza
Eco Hostel possui camas confortáveis, muitas cobertas, limpeza todos os dias, uma ducha maravilhosa, uma galera que trabalha (recepção, limpeza, etc.) simpáticos, solícitos e dispostos a ajudar. Fica por volta de 15 min do Centro de Santiago.

Hotel não recomendado. Lugar mal cuidado.
Paredes podres, camas com mal cheiro e roupa de cama visivelmente mal lavadas. Banheiros velhos e sem manutenção. Não tomamos o café da manhã por medo da falta de higiene.

Hostel correct
Hostel sensible aux questions environnementales et de développement durable mais dont le bâtiment nécessiterait un rafraichissement, chambres spacieuses et confortables mais pas de chauffage l'hiver, parties communes peu chaleureuses, personnel disponible et agréable, bon petit-déjeuner complet.

Rustic hostel within walking distance of centre
Efficient check in and friendly staff, tasty jam at breakfast, but found a bed bug on one of the beds in a triple room, so will not be staying there again.

Eco friendly and people friendly
Very nice hostel with clean rooms and cleans sheets everyday. Good kitchen with a nice breakfast including wholemeal bread, various jams and coffee etc.
Big enough to hold enough people to keep things interesting but small enough to not be too crowded.
Esp. helpful staff.

Próximo ao centro
O hostel fica bem localizado, os funcionários são atenciosos. Contudo, o acesso ao primeiro andar é ruim e difícil para quem dificuldades de locomoção. O número de banheiros é insuficiente para o número de hóspedes.

Gostei muito, só que deveria ter aquecedor nos quartos porque a noite é muito frio e a escada pro andar de cima é muito ruim e apertada! Tirando isso é ótimos, os funcionários são ótimos

Pleasant stay
This was the first time I had to wash my dishes after breakfast. I hoped that other guests were deligent about washing with soap and hot water. There needed to be a larger raised drying rack with a drip pan to hold the many dishes and ensure they stayed clean and uncontaminated from the counter.
Rooms can be hot. We were glad to be given a fan after the first night.
There is potential for lots of noise from the 2 courtyards, if people stay up late.

Mucho ruido !!!
Mucho ruido hasta tiene a las tres de la mañana. Parada(interrupción) después de dos intervenciones de mi parte cerca del guardián que mismo no hacía ninguna atención y hablaba sin atención ninguno.
