Hostal Rio Amazonas, Santiago de Chile

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.

Beautiful old house. Lovely court yard.

nice place, well decorated in beautiful old house

limited access to kitchen ( microwave, hot water )

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.

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 staff were very helpful and friendly, always available to give advice on the local area, good restaurants, and what to do in Santiago. Beds were comfortable and the hotel had a nice vibe.

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.

Great decor, location, staff and comfort

Lovely historic home converted to simple hotel. Well located for museums,galleries, restaurants etc. Helpful trilingual staff Good security and cosy sitting and bar area downstairs.

Some street noise in rooms at front. Towels a bit thin and tired

Great location, awesome host - always very friendly and happy to help!

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.

Loved the house!

Staff were so lovely! Felt very at home

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.

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.

Clean, updated facilities. Very helpful staff. Complete breakfast. Convenient location. Good value. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

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.

Every was great. The staff, the rooms, the food and the feel of the place all made for an amazing stay. I would have stayed longer if I could. It was very clean and decorated finely. True value for the price.

Nothing

Su enfoque ambiental

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.

Fabulous classic hotel latino, wonderful management, excellent breakfast and great sense of family cultivated by staff among guests. Will always look back fondly on the time we shared with Claudia and her team!!!

Loved it all!

Really friendly team, loved the quirky decoration and artwork around the place. Good room and bathroom and great breakfast. Have a lockable luggage room. Definitely recommend!
