Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited room options — Only one dormitory room type is offered, which may not suit travellers wanting private accommodation or more sleeping arrangements.
- Check-in ends at midnight — If you arrive after 23:59, you won't be able to check in that evening — a potential issue for late-night flights or buses.
- No pets allowed — Travellers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the hostel explicitly prohibits animals.
- Lower rating than the area average — With a rating of 7.4 from 190 reviews, it falls below the Santiago average of 8.7, suggesting room for improvement in some areas.
