Pancakes and jam and the doggys
3 January 2009
Quality hostel, the breakfast myth is not a lie, there is endless pancakes and maple syrup. The kitchen is well supplied and the games room is well stocked. Happily recommended to both those who would like to sleep or party.

I sounded amazing from what the owner had written on hostelbookers and it was even better when we got there! Right in the centre of Santiago, right near a metro station and pretty cheap for Chile!

It was a friendly hostel with a social TV room to chill in, though it was very cold when we where there and the gas heaters didn't make enough difference (especially as they kept getting turned off or down). I would still go back there though!

One of the best hostels I´ve stayed at! The owner is very friendly, always helping you out!! He also makes the breakfast himself, which is amazing! Home-made bread, pancakes, eggs, juices! This is a really good breakfast! Beds are good, showers hot, there are 4 computers all with Skype so you never have to wait, a big good kitchen which has all the necessary equipment, 2 pooltables (both in excellent condition!), and there´s this huge tv-room! The location is good! It´s a 10 minute walk to the metro Good place for meeting people

the pancake breakfast and home made bread are a perfect morning treat. the staff was all very helpful with arranging outings, such as making reservations for ski transportation and gear rental, as well as places to see in the city.

Hostel owner was very helpful, made an effort to make the guests feel at home - and made cookies which are always good! Lots of free stuff for the budget traveller such as use of bikes, pasta dinner, free internet and a free breakfast, which includes more than what many other hostels offer, including splendid pancakes. Helpful and friendly overall - they also helped out with airport pick up...basically just offered all the little things backpackers need!
