Hostal de Sammy

This place is fantastic
This hostel has such a great atmosphere with great host Charles and wonderful staff. The facilities are fantastic with more movies you can shake a stick at, pool room, table football, xbox, and free fast internet. The free breakfast is great and the two cats (one a kitten) and dog Sausage make this a really homey place to stay in Santiago. Town is a short walk, you can get the most incredible hot dogs from the stalls on Republica (just around the corner) and the supermarket is five minutes away, next to a great Pizza place. (Cheap and great friendly staff.) This hostel is a winner!

Great space and friendly people
Chile was my first South American destination and I must admit I was a little apprehensive on arrival. But as soon as we stepped inside Hostel Sammy we were greeted by friendly faces. They have an excellent common space and spaghetti night is a winner. We stayed eight nights in Santiago, all at Sammy. There were a few long term stayers and a lot of people returning for a subsequent stay, which says something. Facilities were good, and from what I hear very good for Santiago. A very clean place to stay with great staff.
