I have stayed at a few hostels in my time traveling through South America, but Hostal de la Barra was one of my favorites. I stayed at three different hostals in Santiago and this one was the one I returned to while in Santiago. I stayed by myself a few times and once with my sister who has never traveled... More

It was also my first time staying at a hostel and I had seen previous reviews, some who recommended and some who didn't give the full stars. I could honestly say, I was worried at first because you have this idea of hostels before you actually stay in one. But, it turns out my experience at Hostal de la Barra... More

We stayed here only for one night, but it was enough to get angry with the staff. The attendant was rude every time I had to talk to her. She even “reminded” me that I haven’t paid yet instead of saying good morning. It was ridiculous! My entire luggage was still in the bedroom. It seemed like I was trying... More

Broke in Brazil alone and without knowing anything about the destination of choice for me. At the airport in Brazil prior to shipment to Santiago has had the help of a Chilean who was very nice and gave me many tips. When I arrived in Chile a taxi driver also gave me several tips on transportation, recreation, food and tourism... More

I stayed for almost a week there, with some friends, and we've been treated really kind! Every person in the staff has been very thoughful and helpful.

Hi Diego, thanks for your good vibes and taking the time to write us. As I heard from María José, the staff enjoyed your stay very much. We are a small hostel and the place runs more like a house than a hostel, that´s why even though we make mistakes we always try to get better. I notice your cleanliness... More

The breakfast was average and the internet wasnt working during out stay. Their was not hot water in the mens bathroom so I had... More

Hi Mike, thank you for taking the time to write here. We are worried about your opinion about cleaning as it is one of our commitments. Sometimes in shared rooms is difficult to keep everything spotless as many different people come and go at any time during the day, however, we have professional staff (not passangers working for a bed)...

This place has seriously luxurious bunks! The beds are large and fluffy with super clean and soft linens! The location is great albeit a bit noisy but only from traffic. Our 8 bed room got a bit stuffy...a ceiling fan or any fan really could solve the problem quickly. Don't count on breakfast unless you're the first one there...the food... More
