This would most likely have been one of the best hostels we had stayed in on our trip: good breakfast selection, privacy even in large dorms rooms, reasonably clean, very friendly staff, good vibe, nice bathrooms centrally located, etc etc. HOWEVER our bag was stolen while we were staying there. Throughout our stay we noticed that the front gate was... More

Had booked three nights in a private room at this hostel. I announced my flight was delayed over 10 hours and they informed me everything was fine. When I arrived at hostel around midnight, I was informed my room had been cancelled due to presence of insects. They booked me a room in an adjacent hostel which I didn't like.... More

Hostels are not a first choice to stay at any longer (and, never really have been). However Dominica looked nice on paper so to speak and was reasonably priced. We chose it because we were travelling with a family member and it was difficult to find somewhere where the 3 of us could stay on a budget for a few... More

Really clean, modern looking hostel. One of the best hostel designs I've seen in South America. The 8 dorm rooms feel more like a 2 or 4 dorm room because everyone has it's own little cocoon with reading lamp, little shelves and a big locker. Wifi in the whole hostel, decent breakfast included,...

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

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Good news!!! Dominica Hostel is finally open! This newly restored old house was especially design to receive travelers. Full of common spaces and with a practical design of the dorms rooms, that gives you the privacy that you need, we are sure that your stay at Dominica will be unforgettable!!!Located in the heart of Bellavista, the bohemian and cultural district of Santiago, the Dominica is the place to be. We are steps away from the funicular to the summit of San Cristobal's Hill from where you can have the best view of Santiago and from where you can explore the huge Parque Metropolitano. ... more   less
