It's very sweet hostel with cosy beds and enough space for your bags. I especially liked the showers, clean and nice looking. Great location. Good wife connection. Stuff on reception (and cleaning lady that also prepare rich breakfast in the morning) where extra friendly and nice. They provide you all informations you need on perfectly good English. I tried to remember their names so I think it was Katy, Josef and Carlos - good work guys!

We had the nicest stay at hostal Bella. The staff and warm, inviting and SO helpful. Location could not be better - so close to the best restaurants. The hostel itself is more like a well designed hotel. The bathrooms are gorgeous - The beds have down comforters and nice pillows. Highly recommended!
We stayed in one of the new rooms out the back which had a balcony and was away from the main Street. Walking distance from the centre of Santiago and local restaurants. It's a good Hostal but don't think it is 'boutique'. Reception staff were very helpful.

The first night we stayed in a dorm. Beds were very comfortable with large lockers but pillow was terrible. Next 2 nights we were in a private room which was very nice with good shower but unfortunately noisy. staff were helpful, but the breakfast was the worst we'd had.

We stayed twice here - the first time in their "B&B" section. The room was very nice and large, and the bathrooms were clean. However, it was VERY COLD in the winter time and the two space heaters they had were out of gas and not functioning. In the bed, there was an electric blanket, but otherwise, it was typically colder in the hostel than it was outside.
The second time we were in their suite section - which is a very small room with no closet or dresser, but you do have your own bathroom. You'll be cramped, but everything is very nice. These rooms were not as chilly as the first one we stayed in
Breakfast is good, but not very imaginative and you may not last till lunch without getting a snack. The front desk was very helpful though at all times - make sure you talk with them if you have any questions or want ideas of what to check out!
This was a good deal for the money - just remember, you are staying in a hostel, not a hotel!

Cons:
1. very, very cold room. The thing that is supposed to be a heating is not doing its job. Not a good place to stay in winter. The temperature in the room was just like the one outside, it might be due to the gap between the door and floor, but who knows. In general the coldest two nights in my life. Be prepared to sleep in sweaters and with the hat on, but you will still wake up with the cold face. Sorry, but this is unacceptable when the hostel claims to have a heating I assume it will work and make the room warm.
2. Don't order a taxi to the airport through the hotel. If you go with the taxi cough on the street and taximeter, it will be 13.000 pesos, with the hostel it's 18.000 pesos.
Pros:
1. Helpful and nice staff
2. The rooms are very nice ( superior suites) but very cold in winter.
3, Quite nice location
4, breakfast was decent
