Santiago Backpackers  

In the heart of downtown Santiago, a stone’s throw from the bohemian Lastarria quarter (about 300 m) and within walking distance of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Plaza de Armas, the National Museum of Fine Arts, Palacio de la Moneda and San Cristobal Hill. A budget-friendly hostel for backpackers and city explorers.

Housed in a restored 100-year-old building with parquet floors and stylish wall moldings, the place blends classic bones with modern furnishings. Rooms range from cheap dorms to private rooms and furnished apartments; some have private patios and extra-large beds. Expect lively bedspreads, wood accents and a social, traveler-friendly vibe with regular group activities.

Bikes to rent, tour/ticket assistance and a 24-hour front desk make getting around easy. Lockers and laundry facilities available.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, luggage storage and multilingual staff. Tour and transfer assistance available for easy city logistics.
