The hostel is located on a quiet street in Barrio Bellavista. It is within easy walking distance to the stations of three different metro lines. There are two main streets with many restaurants and bars within just few minutes’ walk as well. Funicular to the San Christobal hill is three blocks walk. Plaza de Armas, Museum of Fine Arts and...

Either you like Santiago or not, Hostal del Barrio is definately the place to stay if you're backpacking. By mentioning backpacking, I don't mean it's not one of those places where you have to stay awake until wee hours, because some party group is keeping you awake. Altough the neighbourhood is by far the liveliest with tons of bars and... More

I only stayed one night here and it was very pleasant (even though there was a 5.1 magnitude earthquake at night). The place is clean, quiet and cozy. It's only 15 minutes away (by walk) from plaza de armas. The breakfast was excellent!! Christian is a friendly, easy going guy. He feels just like another backpacker. He gave some good... More

We stayed here for three nights, in a double room and a twin room. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and although the shared bathroom was not always sparkling, it was never unsanitary. Breakfast (which was delicious, even though it was "just" bread, jam, yogurt, cheese, ham, guacamole, coffee...) was served in a rather dingy dining room, but we were... More

Me and my boyfriend stayed at Hostal del Barrio in february, 2012. The location is great, like 5 blocks from Patio Bellavista, Calle Pio Nono and like 15 minutes to Plaza de Armas and 20 min to La Moneda. We walked every day to those places and even at night, although we caught some taxis to get back at dawn.... More

Thank you Christian for your perfect place ! We stayed longer than we expected but your guesthouse is so nice. Fantastic breakfast, nice BBQs in the garden, good advices, what else ?!! Price is good, el barrio is a great area. Hope you'll keep that way !!!! One of the best guesthouse we've been in south america.

We chose Hostal del Barrio because of the positive reviews that we'd read on Tripadvisor... and after our stay, we'd like to add to these positive comments, and share our experience. The hostal is located in the lovely Bellavista neighbourhood, down a quiet street but just 5 minutes from the many restaurants and bars that this bohemian neighbourhood has to... More

Our room was large and clean. Christian pushed two single beds together for us to make a huge double! Always had hot water in the shower and towels provided. Breakfast was lovely, served in the sun : ) Christian was a great host. Kind, friendly and helpful. He gave us lots of info and answered all our questions without appearing... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 3 weeks whilst looking for long-term accommodation in Santiago and had a great time. Christian was super helpful for our entire stay (and via email before we even arrived), recommended certain areas to us, made phone calls for us to land lords and was happy to let us practice our very poor Spanish...
