Description
Start your adventure at the best location of Santiago, to be more accurate, the geographic center of the city 'Plaza Italia', in Providencia, one of the safest neighborhoods in Santiago.

Footsteps Backpackers Hostel is located at only 130 footsteps (yes, only footsteps) from Baquedano Station of Santiago's subway.

But why using the subway?, most of the best attractions of Santiago are at walkable distances! Get the best location without paying more for it!

We have the best bars and restaurants in Santiago; art galleries, theaters and craftmanship of the bohemian and amusing neighborhood Bellavista only 5 minutes away.

Enjoy the best views from the greatest park of Santiago, the lung of the city, Parque Metropolitano (10 min away).

Walking a few blocks West, you will find the impressive Museo de Bellas Artes.
And if you keep walking, will get to Cerro Santa Lucía, called before Huelén by the Mapuche people. In its top, after walking through its cared gardens, you will find Castillo Hidalgo... colonial Santiago in it's essence.

And impossible to forget Barrio Lastarria, known for its amusing night life and its bars, coffee shops, restaurants and theaters. Only Footsteps!!

But our recently renovated Hostel is not only the best location, but we also take care of the room neatness at a daily basis, and we keep the bathrooms in the best conditions at every moment, so you can enjoy a hot shower whenever you want.

Besides of the cleaning and location, in Footsteps Backpackers we are interested that you would also really rest whenever you wish. We are located in a peaceful street isolated from traffic and rooms are apart from common and relaxation areas, so you can have a quiet sleep at any moment.

Not only the neighborhood is one of the safest of Santiago, but also our Hostel. For your safety, we keep a security box to keep your valuables and we have security cameras.

Footsteps Backpackers has a multicultural staff, speaking english, german and portuguese (and several Ghana dialects). We will be concerned that your stay is amusing, pleasant and easy going. We will help you organize your city tours, as well as giving the alternatives to go round Santiago and to the rest of Chile!!

All of the above is complemented by free breakfast included, free Wi-Fi, free internet, free books, free movies in our TV room or relax playing in our pool table or with the Playstation.

We will be waiting for you!

Footsteps Backpackers Hostel Reviews on Other Websites
5 Nice people and good location, would stay there again.   — Neil Towse (2011-11-11) Hostelbookers
3 close to metro station friendly owner and workers   — Customer review (2011-10-12) Hostelbookers
4 Itsan awesome place to stay. Staff is very friendly and helpfull. You can reach the metro within 2 minutes walking time. A supermarket is just around the corner. The hostel has a nice atmosphere and you will most likely meet some people from all over the world in the living room. The kitchen is well-equipped and has everything you need (also for longer stays). The beds are quite comfortable. The bathrooms could do with some cleaning but in general I'd defenitely recommend this place for everyone that wants to have a great time in Santiago de Chile. I feel quite at home here after my 20 days stay.   — Lucas Freunscht (2011-07-27) Hostelbookers
4 right at the plaza de italia and close to the center.   — Customer review (2011-07-22) Hostelbookers
4 friendly and good location   — FuJen Tsai (2011-06-18) Hostelbookers
5 Alex was outstanding in every way, he should get paid.   — lauren goodey (2011-05-26) Hostelbookers
5 Great atmosphere and feels like a house. The kitchen is a great place to cook together and meet other travellers. A hostel I keep returning to stay at!   — Customer review (2011-04-20) Hostelbookers
5 It was the first time I ever stayed in a hostel and I have to say it was a wonderful experience! The location couldn´t be better. We were a group of 3 20-year-old girls and could go out during the night without any problem! The metro station + many buses are one block away. You find supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, just a few metres away! The beds were really comfortable! the building itself was cool. nice design. It was clean and the staff, Mrs Cecilia and the girls, really helpful. We only wanted a safe place to sleep and leave our staff, but finally we spend time with the other guests chatting, having fun, as the atmosphere was cool! Young people from diffent countries were there those days. I don´t know if we could have found a better place/location for that amount of money! I would go back if I decide to return to Santiago and want to have a low budget travel!   — Customer review (2011-04-16) Hostelbookers

5 The people and the place are just great!   — Customer review (2011-02-27) Hostelbookers
5 Great location really easy to find and near the area where all the cheap drinks are. We got upgrade for free to a private room as the dorms were all being cleaned and redone. Its was great. Breakfast is tea and coffee, cereals and toast as much as you want, perfect way to start the day. Free internet aswell! we were very happy, 1 of the best hostels we have stayed in south america.   — Rachael sadler (2011-02-15) Hostelbookers

5 Great location in the city with sights in walking distance and transport links on the doorstep. Nice airy building with lovely wooden floors, plenty of character, lots of communal bathrooms, and a adequate kitchen; all kept clean and tidy. This place was miles cheaper than anywhere else on Hostelbookers and we felt it was great value for money.   — ADAM HOLDER (2011-01-09) Hostelbookers
