The Bellavista Hostel is less about a 7 minute walk from the Baquedano metro station and is pretty easy to get to. From the metro station, walk three blocks towards the "river" and cross the Pio Nono Bridge. At the second street after the bridge, turn right. You will be on Dardignac. Go another one and a half blocks and the hostel will be on your left.
The place is very clean and hygienic. It is a very relaxing and comfortable place to stay, with a nice little chill-out lounge by the front desk. There is a pretty good book and magazine exchange as well. There is an outdoor patio in the back, although we didn't see anyone using it. The decor is quite artsy and gives a good vibe to the hostel. There is free internet with two computers. Chile and South American guide books can be borrowed from the front desk for a quick browse. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly.
The rooms are very airy and have good sunlight. Lockers are provided (although they are a bit flimsy), since you do not get a key to your room. If possible, ask for a room away from the street as the neighborhood is quite a popular one for going out which means loud music and road noise will keep you awake if you are a light sleeper.
