5 Wahoo
Great hostel! So so much fun -- the staff were so welcoming and fun to chill with. In a cool part of Santiago, easily accessible from the bus station, subway. Lots of yummy restaurants nearby. The free breakfasts were delicious -- eggs, toast, fruit, tea, coffee, all you need! Not to mention we had dance parties every night before we went out. I would stay here again!

1 The Worst Hostel I have ever stayed in
I have read that people believe the Don Santiago staff are friendly, but I found out that the friendliness is not genuine. I had a reservation the this hostel, and I arrived at about 6:30 p.m. in the morning, because I had caught an overnight bus to Santiago. The man who opened the door told me that check in was at 11 a.m. I asked him if it was ok for me to sit in the lobby and wait until then, and instead of saying anything he just rudely pointed at a couch in a darkened room, next to where he had been sleeping, then went back to sleep. He even ignored me when I asked if I could use a toilet. Then when I asked if I could use the showers, not feeling like sitting in the dark for hours, he told me to get out! I think that at the Don Santiago Hostel, the friendliness I had heard about doesn't extend to actual care or interest in backpackers. It shouldn't call itself a hostel. Stay well away!

5 Just amazing!
I have stayed at the Don Santiago Hostel in Santiago several times and I would thoroughly recommend this place to fellow travelers (and I do). The manager is a very friendly guy, and he makes the hostel feel very homey. If you are looking for a great place to stay in Santiago, I would place Don Santiago at #1.

5 I had a blast during my stay
It's such a beautiful house, in the middle of barrio Brazil, located next to fine dinning restaurants. Staff are really nice, they organized a bbq for 5 USD included lots of drinks and salad bar. Another night they made Pisco sour madness! Was just so much fun!
