Loved Jamming sessions!!! Best staff ever!!!! If you are looking for a party hostel, this is not your place. I personally try to avoid those hostels at all cost. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a super laid back atmosphere where everyone know everyone else, pisco sours abound, and EVERYONE is invited to the jam session in the music room (yeah! its got its own music room, how friggin cool is that!!) then Don Santiago is the place for you. Pato makes the best Pisco Sours in Chile by the way, Victor makes the best Pebre I have ever had, Lucy is the cutest hamster on the planet (she has her own facebook page for goodness sakes) and Don Santiago Hostel is the best hostel in South America. Period. — Ty Hardin , USA (2011-10-25) Lovely house -- super nice staff I just left Don Santiago after staying for 5 days. I was sad to leave. It's not a party hostel, so you will be able to sleep here. loved the art deco on the walls. RECOMMEND IT! — Becca , England (2011-10-23) 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! — Tess , USA (2009-11-12) 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! — Holly H (2009-11-05) 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. — Joseph , english (2009-05-29) 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! — Phil , australian (2009-02-25) Really nice place to stay i loved this place, staff are so cool. — andrew , american (2009-02-14)
