This place rocks..! Small, secure homely feeling with a modern, comfortable design. They have a big self-service kitchen, provide breakfast.. bread and butter and jelly, cereals, milk, coffee and tea. Their bar is leased out to an Australian mate named Leon who crafts up delicious cocktails with his on-hand juicer. Showers were hot, beds were comfortable, giant lockers, individual lights... More

Stayed 5 nights in a dorm room. The great things: fantastic staff (especially Alex), friendly, unpretentious atmosphere, great kitchen, bar and lounge (it reminded me of a ski chalet), people get together most nights in the bar, drew a mixed crowd of people (different ages an nationalities), for me there was enough partying but not so much that it is...

So I must admit that as a designer it was incredible to stay somewhere in South America where it wasn't a typical hostel and the design had really been considered. This alone made me love it. (see photos!) However, I was unfortunate enough to arrive at the hostel fresh off the plane from Fiji with an awful stomach bug. It... More

The words I will use to describe this hostel do not come close to making justice to real sentiment if feel towards this place. First and foremost I would like to say that it is exquisite, thanks to the two wonderful owners Juan and Fransisco. They have managed to create this unique atmosphere and finding the right equilibrium between a... More

This hostel has everything a backpacker could desire; friendly staff, great showers, kitchen, night life, fantastic patrons, competitive prices, and is an excellent location. Originally i came only for a night, possibly 2, and a month later i am still here and still loving it. It truly is a home away from home, the Dominica family...

I had a great stay at Dominica Hostel while I was Santiago. It´s located in Bellavista which is the central nightlife and gay area surrounded by bars, clubs and restaurants. The staff here are very welcoming and gay friendly. It´s a small hostel and has an intimate feel. The dorms sleep 8 people but the design allows for unexpected privacy.... More

Ok where do I start. I want to give this hostel a good reviwe but I can't. This hostel has so much potential. The potential to be the best hostel in Santiago, but somehow it doesn't. I can't decide is it lazyness either by the owner or staff. Bedrooms - extremely functional for backpackers, best room layout I've seen in... More

Hostel is very modern and pleasant. Owners and staff are very nice plus they speak good english for the non-spanish speaking travelers. The only downside of this Hostel is the showers. They're either ice cold or scolding hot!!! It is very difficult to get a nice warm shower.

We stayed at the Dominica hostel for 3 nights after it was recommended to us by another traveller. The hostel is super modern & has a very plush interior, the dorm beds are arranged so you get a bit of privacy, the kitchen & communal areas are beautiful & there's free internet. The hostel is located right next to San... More
