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.

Beautiful hostel
Beautiful room with little balcony. The personnel was very kind and provided me a map of the city. The metro station is close and overall places to visit can be reached by foot.

An excellent hostel for travelers, especially those who are looking for something a bit more refined
Breakfast 10/10 and the single room was excellent. It's really nice to have a place to write/read in the lobby. I was very happy to find out that there was no "party vibe".
Nothing.

A comfortable home base in santiago
The staff was amazing and very accommodating to our needs. Our room didn't quite suit our needs, and they graciously moved us to another room as soon as one was available. They also held our luggage for us for the two days we traveled to Rapa Nui. The courtyard was lovely and a great hangout space for our group to relax together in the evening. We liked the quirkiness of the rooms and the building.
I picked the hostel because of the central location, but we experienced a theft of personal property in Barrio Italia, so we spend most of our time in the La Starria district after that, which was very nice. There weren't many dining options in walking distance to the hostel that felt safe after dark. Also, I picked specific room types for our reservations, but we didn't receive those room types initially.

Great location. Room was clean and comfortable. Very good breakfast. Staff super helpful with area tour and sightseeing recommendations, transportation, etc. Good value.
I'm not sure how I feel about leaving the room key at the desk every time I leave the building, but I can live with it.

Good value for money in a location close to many of the city's main attractions and neighbourhoods.
The staff here are all delightful people, very accommodating and friendly. The common areas are nice - clean, quiet and well taken care of. My room and bathroom were pretty good overall, a bit worn but clean. I would consider staying here if I was travelling on my own in Santiago again.

Wonderful B&B in the heart of Santiago
Rio Amazonas is a charming boutique hotel in the center of Santiago, and close to all the hip eateries and bars of the city. Carrol and her team are so pleasant and make you feel right at home. The bed was comfortable, it’s very quiet, and breakfast each morning was excellent.

A very nice Surprise, I was not expecting to be such a nice place to stay. Great value for money.
Family business, very attention to detail, great staff and very helpful when you need it.
Location is not the best because of current political / social climate, BUT you can just be more attentive when you walk or take Taxi or Ubers. Place is worth it.

Confortable, cheap and very well located
Confortable hostel very well located at the Centre of Santiago. Some positive highlights are the staff, which was friendly and always ready to help, and also a good and cheap restaurant inside the hostel.
The private bedroom only has a small window, so it could get really humid (from the shower) and poorly ventilated inside, difficult for towels to dry
