A Fantastic Stay!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hostal Rio Amazonas during my solo trip to Santiago, Chile, and I must say it was an incredible experience! First and foremost, the staff at Hostal Rio Amazonas were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Their warmth and hospitality made me feel right at home from the moment I stepped through the door. They went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable, providing valuable local insights and recommendations. Cleanliness is a top priority for me when choosing accommodation, and Hostal Rio Amazonas exceeded my expectations. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the common areas were well-maintained throughout my entire stay. It's evident that the staff takes pride in creating a spotless and inviting environment for guests. The location of Hostal Rio Amazonas couldn't have been more convenient. Situated in a central area, it allowed me easy access to various attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. This made exploring Santiago a breeze and added to the overall enjoyment of my trip. As a solo woman traveler, safety is paramount, and I felt incredibly secure at Hostal Rio Amazonas. The hostel has excellent security measures in place, providing peace of mind during my stay. This, coupled with the friendly atmosphere, made it an ideal choice for fellow solo travelers. In conclusion, my stay at Hostal Rio Amazonas was nothing short of fantastic. From the very friendly staff to the spotless cleanliness, convenient location, and heightened safety for solo travelers, I wholeheartedly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Santiago. Thank you, Hostal Rio Amazonas, for making my trip memorable!

The hostel was very nice and the staff very kind. Beautiful place.
A little bit noisy because of the wooden floor.

Lovely people. Great location for walking and near subway
Common areas. The people!!!
My room was tiny. And I’m pretty flexible. For more than a couple of nights it would have been too small.

The staff were so friendly and helpful for everything we needed. Filling breakfast, great to have access to a bar when everything was closed on New Year’s Eve and lovely outdoor space to relax

I really appreciate the support from Miriam and Erwin, both very kind and ready to help in any questions. Location is great, hot spots are near by foot and metro is also 5 minutes walk.
Bathroom could be something to improve (cleanness), nothing serious but that’s why I rate 9 of 10.

Everything I wanted.
Excellent location and lovely old building in the traditional style. Very friendly and helpful staff/owners. Breakfast is typical Chilean continental style. My single room was clean and everything worked. Excellent value for money.
Nothing, as it is the type of quirky hostel that I like. Don't come here if you are looking for a slick international business Hilton/Marriot style hotel.

Homely, warm stay in the heart of Santiago
Staff were really lovely and accommodating, and we were able to check in early, right off our flight. The hostel is really colourful with lots of common spaces and a bar, as well as some food options, which we were grateful for. You can also buy a real cappuccino: not always the case in Chile! Very well located near Lastarria and Bellavista and a metro station. Breakfast was decent: bread rolls, cheese, boiled egg, yoghurt, juice and a piece of fruit, but if you want a proper coffee you have to pay extra. Finally we loved Ginny the dog!
The second room we stayed in (when we came back before flying home) was far less comfortable: there was a window facing the corridor that let loads of light in all night. Also no plug socket for the lamp.

An peaceful oasis in a hectic city.
Lovely rooms, lobby, dining rooms and bar, all with wooden floors and tastefully decorated walls. Very friendly, relaxed and service-oriented staff. Excellent breakfast. Strong and hot shower. The whole atmosphere makes you feel at home and wanting to come back to this place.
All was fine. Please do not change anything!

The guest house is cute and clean with helpful staff and an excellent location.
The location was great, and the guest house art and decor were very pretty, bright and cheery. The staff were helpful and kind. My room was very clean and comfy. I had everything O needed and enjoyed drinks with other guests from around the world in the evenings.
It was all great! It might be nice to add a gluten-free carbohydrate item (other than the crackers which were bland) to breakfast. Many people who are gluten-free can't have oatmeal either. But corn flakes or canned corn heated in the microwave would be helpful.

Lovely, food value place in an excellent location
Lovely atmospheric place in an excellent location. Friendly staff, good breakfast. Very good value
It's a touch on the noisy side, although that's in terms of being a creaky old building and hearing footsteps upstairs early in the morning etc, otherwise it's very quiet.
