My wife and I stayed 3 weeks in Santiago, and most of that time we spent at Hostal Providencia. We spent the first night in another Hosatal (in Bellavista) and the price was almost double what we paid at Providencia. We particularly like the relaxed atmospher, really helpful staff and the mix of people we met there. Since we spent... More

My wife and I needed somewhere cheap and easy to stay overnight in Santiago last year and we selected this place on the back of the tripadvisor reviews. To put it plainly, we're not sure on what basis the positive reviews were given for this place. In order of the things that went wrong: 1. They were meant to organise... More

I recently stayed at Hostal Providencia for a few weeks during my first trip outside of my country. To begin with, the staff was absolutely fantastic and helped in every way they could. They definitely helped me in finding local attractions and each seemed to have their own unique set of things to do in Santiago. They have awesome paintings... More

We just stayed one night in a double twin room. We were surprised to see that the room actually has just 2 bunk beds on top of each other, and was very small (we barely had space to put our bags). Walls are thin too, so you have to hope you won't get loud neighbours. The hostel is located relatively... More

I stayed there for 3 nights. Here is my honest and unbiased opinion about the hostal: The staff, they are nice and friendly. Some of them can speak English, but that was not a problem for me as I was practicing my Spanish. The rooms are just that, rooms. They are nothing special, but do have Satellite TV and great... More

I'm teaching English here in Chile and had to stay at a hostel for a couple of weeks while I searched for an apartment. I'm very glad I chose Hostel Providencia. The staff here is very friendly and go out of their way to help you. The sleeping accomodations were great, the location is in the center of the city... More

I stayed at this hostel before moving out to teach an hour south in Rancagua but I came back again this weekend because it is such a great place to be. The staff are very friendly and understand my rather horrendous Spanish. It is also really close to the Baquedano metro station which takes you to many different parts of... More

This hostel is located very close to bus and train stations and supermarkets. The staff are friendly and always try to help, the problem is that everyday there's a different person who appears not to know what's happening at the hostel. The breakfast isn't good at all, better walk a little and eat something in the neighborhood. I found the... More

Super centrally located only a block or two from Plaza Italia, Parque Bustamante and Metro Baquedano and within walking distance from the bars of Bellavista, promenades of Providencia and plethora of parks, museums and cafes that make up the Lastaria and Bellas Artes barrios this old building filled with cute Chilean antiquities is a good place to start your Santiago...
