Easy location , good breakfast and everything is clean .

Children are allowed to stay in the hostel. I don’t think hostels are appropriated to children .

Such a good hostel, one of the better ones we’ve stayed in. A huge place with loads of people buzzing around. One of the cleanest hostels I’ve stayed in. So many nice spaces to chill out. Friendly staff! We weren’t taking a night bus until 10pm the day we checked out and we were accommodated all day and allowed use to the kitchen, showers and common areas, rated this so much!

As expected in most of Chile, if you are paying by card or with Chilean pesos you will be charged an extra 19% tax on top of the price on booking.com. I forgot about those so was a little frustrating! There is a way around this by paying in dollars!

Good spacious hostel, I was so busy during my time in Santiago I did not to explore the hotels full facilities. I booked this to utilise the bar then never had time. The breakfast is great value for money. The hostel is clean. I stayed in a private room which had a decent amount of space compared to others in Chile. Staff are helpful and friendly

The kitchen is locked over night and does to open until 7am. Day trips in Santiago leave early so it would be good to unlock the kitchen an hour earlier to allow those leaving early to have breakfast

Close to metro station and within walking distance to Bellas Artes museum and Patio Bella Vista restaurants and shopping. Was great to have tour options, in-house bar and pizza night. Breakfast staff were very nice and there was a good enough range of breakfast items for me.

Room had a "funny" smell. Courtyard area is also a smoking area - not so good for non-smokers. The hostel is located in a cul-de-sac which may feel a little unsafe at night. There was a park nearby that had homeless people - just something to be aware of, not saying they would pose a problem.

This is a really nice place to stay in Santiago! The staff is very helpful, beds are comfortable, showers are good and clean, there's a nice big breakfast (bread, selection of jams, yoghurt, cereals, juice, fresh fruit and one morning I got eggs end the other one a pancake). They even made my bed every day! There's a lot of common areas if you want to socialize, including a gym! The location is good too, it's close to the metro, restaurants and lots of parks. Also just a short walk to the center. I would definitely come back here!

Here is a hostel that loves being a hostel. It has everything, from free coffee, purchasable breakfast for all dietary requirements, laundry, lockers, two kitchens, and an active social area. It's a massive building with a welcoming historic aesthetic. Because of its size, the rooms are well spaced apart, so you can escape the noise and sleep well. But if you want to party, join their massive pub crawl, which starts on the grounds. It gets wild. There are also infinite toilets and showers; if one is occupied, walk a few more steps to find another one. The working areas were perfect. I can count on one hand how many hostels I've rated 10/10, but this one deserves it. It's up there with the best hostels I've ever stayed in.

The only failure was when the wifi hardly worked in my room. At times, it was unusable. A big letdown. The kitchen needs more bowls!

I had a great time at Hostal Providencia, and I want to highlight three awesome things: Fantastic Staff: The people working there are super friendly and helpful. They made me feel welcome and had great tips about the area. Special thanks to Santi and Mario! Perfect Location: The hostel is in a great spot, close to Cerro San Cristóbal and Cerro Santa Lucia. It was easy to get around, and I could explore the city without any hassle. Nice Place: The rooms are comfy and clean, and there's a cool common area for hanging around with people from all over the world. Every night they have some special thing going on, like Pizza or Crepe nights. Everything is well-kept and tidy.

The Wi-Fi connection was a bit inconsistent, particularly in my room where it didn't work properly (it was in the fifth floor). In the Coworking area the Wi-Fi works fine.

All good really! Hostal Providencia is a very tidy hostel, with friendly and helpful staff. Beds and rooms are very comfortable, there are big lockers in the rooms and a plug next to the bed. The bathrooms and rooms were clean. This is a great place to socialise and also to relax in Santiago in a very safe neighborhood.

No A/C in the room (6-bed dorm), which can be a problem in very warm days. The room had windows and a fan though, so sleeping was fine!

Loved this place! Comfy bed, nice shared bathrooms, decent kitchen (small but ok equipment). They really think of so many little details -- community events every night (pizza, crepes, pub crawls), 24h friendly staff, a bin with clothes donated by other travelers, fridges with free / shared food, a gym with some good space and a couple weights / kettlebells (although it definitely needs a fan for air circulation), even a fridge stocked with sandwiches and cake loaves and fruit /yogurt for purchase if you want something quick and cheap! Location is very close to subways and about a 20+ minute walk from more central areas. Would 100% recommend and happily stay again!

Gym needs air circulation options (fan etc), kitchen is a bit small given the huge size of the hostel.

The hostal is amazing. It was my second time there. I enjoy the looks, the vibe and the people. It has everything a hostel should have and more. Every night they held some kind of event and it is always nice to be part of it. The location is also very good. Close to subway and with restaurants nearby. I will definitely come back.

This time my room was very close to the breakfast area so it was very noisy and the bedroom's window didn't have any kind of shield curtain so it was always too bright inside the room.
