“Manipulate exchange rate; filthy men's bathroom”

Reviewed May 14, 2013

I didn't know it upon checking in, but apparently Hostel de la Barra has the same power as the Republic of Chile and the international financial system to set the exchange rate between US Dollars and Chilean Pesos. Yes, really. After being told that my dorm would cost $18 by the emotionless girl working at the reception desk, I proceeded... More

“Nice staff, less comfort”

Reviewed December 13, 2012

It has a good location, very nice and helpful staff, the breaksfest was ok. We slept in double room and it was too small even for one person. The rooms are very loud, the bathroom smelled very bad. This hotel is a place for globtrotters with the priority of not spending much money. You will not enjoy any comfort here.

Thank you for writing us. We define ourselves as a Hostel, not a hotel. For us that means a smaller than a hotel place, no conference room, no spa, no gym, no swimming pools but.....familiar ambience, cozy place, clean as our own home and best location. We are sad you couldnt appreciate the comfort we do offer and se Hope... More

“Cozy accommodation and amazing hospitality!”

Reviewed September 3, 2012

On arriving in Santiago, I first went to a very bustling hostel around the corner from this one and stayed one night, but upon finding Hostal de la Barra on my second day, I changed accommodation IMMEDIATELY. HDLB is much smaller than its neighbor, but infinitely more comfortable and welcoming: it's always warm inside in winter (when I visited), the... More

Hi Seph, thank you very much for taking the time to write your kind review. We are always upgrading the interior to make it as cozy as possible, some ppainting around here, some lights around there, ovens for Tearrie´s pizzas, etc. Hope to see you again around here. More

“Very Comfortable”

Reviewed July 8, 2012

Location was prefect, walking distance to most things you want to visit in downtown,Bellavista,Lastiria and other surrounding neighbourhoods. We walked to Cerra San Cristabal after strolling the Fruit/vege Markets.Two metro stations within close proximity - Santa Lucia( Red line) and Belle Artes ( green line)Staff were always helpful and happy. The only down side was the road noise and the... More

Thank you very much for your review. Beside the hostel is the 1st fire department of the city, founded almost 200 years ago. It is more historical than operative and they rarely go to a fire. They were celebrating some kind of anniversary so made more noise than neccesary. Sorry for that. We are happy to have them near the... More

“Over priced apartment”

Reviewed June 28, 2012

We stayed here in the low season with a 3 for 2 nights offer. We had the “deluxe” apartment. Nice small apartment with a good bed and a very good TV. Also a good location in the city. The kitchen has two small electric cooking plates (with one broken), which produce almost no heat, so cooking is very limited. Heating... More

Thanks for your review. We are sorry you think it is overpriced. We certainly dont think so. As described, it is a very nice deluxe apartment that fits up to three people at the best location in the city. Heating system is programmed to keep the place comfortable but without wasting energy as our enviromental policies are very stricted in... More

Well located - close to city center, affordable restaurants, 2 metro lines, supermarkets, Bellavista and other tourist spots. Hostel was clean and staff was attentive to guest needs.

Thanks for your review. We hadn´t read a review before talking about the huge amount of restaurantes located less than 7 minutes walking and it is a very important point. OOur own restaurant, the lovely Café de la Barra is a mid-low price option. Our neighbor just 2 doors from hostel one is Opera, one of the most expensive restaurants... More
