Reviews of Hostal Rio Amazonas

The bed was very comfortable, the room had plenty of space, and you can add a good breakfast for $7 per person per day. WiFi was quick. Location very good, near public transport and within walking distance of good places to eat and drink. Staff was very friendly! Reception staff spoke excellent English. Very reasonably priced laundry service too. Ginny, the dog, is old and very friendly. Would stay again!

It didn’t bother us, but it’s a (beautiful) old building, so the floors creak a bit and we had some noise from the hallway. Otherwise it was actually pretty quiet for such a central location!

The location of this property is perfect - easy walking distance between Lastarria, Bella Vista and Barrio Italia, and convenient to get to many major sites. Metro station a 5 min walk, so it was very easy to get the airport bus and metro to and from the hostel. The place has a charming, rustic vibe, with nice common areas. The room was basic but comfortable, plenty of bedding to keep you warm and the shower had hot water and great pressure. The staff were very friendly and helpful, available 24/7. You leave your key at reception when you leave and the front door is locked so need to ring a bell when you return, but this was never a problem. Breakfast was 6000 and worth it - a big spread of fruit, yoghurt, cereal, a hard boiled egg, cheese, hot (delicious) bread, juice and tea/coffee. Many places don’t open early for breakfast so eating at the hostel is a great option. I also had dinner there one night and had a delicious soup for 6000. They stored my luggage safely after checkout and before my flight. It was a fantastic stay and I’d recommend it!

The bed and floor was a bit creaky but nothing too annoying. Sometimes you could hear the bell ring when people returned and people walking outside of your room, but it was pretty quiet overall

All great

I loved the hostel. Great position, nice room, great staff! Felt home after six days.

Everything was great, especially the fantastic staff. It's a hotel that feels like a family hostel. Located very near the Metro, a nice breakfast, comfy beds, and even dinner if you like to stay in at night.

The location of the property is excellent - you are close to the metro and the best places for bars and restaurants. The property is in a very interesting, Tudor-style property and it is full of character. The staff were very helpful in organising an airport transfer and accommodated a late check-in; the desk is 24-hour. The food is good and very reasonably priced - there is also a bar.

There is a system where you hand in the key every time you go out, but on 2 occasions they couldn’t find our key! This was a little frustrating. This is far from being a party hostel but noise travels along the hallway and the we were disturbed after 11 by other guests having conversations near our room.

The staff was very welcoming. I had problems with the reservation (my mistake) and they promptly found a solution that would work for both of us. Location is great. The room (single room) is small but comfortable. Breakfast was good as well, I believe if I had breakfast at a cafe I would spend more and have a worse meal.

Recommend.

nice cozy Hostal, close to some attractions and metro if u don't feel like walking and near the nice barrios Bellavista and Italia. Helpful , friendly staff and Ginny the dog.

Lovely hostel located in a beautiful Old quirky building with tons of character. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was sufficient and plentiful consisting of cereals breads fruits eggs and yogurt.

Nothing

Everything was nice, good breakfast, the food at the restaurant was also very good, I really enjoyed the pizza! Location is great and everything was clean.

This hotel is absolutely exceptional. Run by incredibly passionate family staff, it was friendly, comfortably and homely as soon as I walked through the door. This is NOT a generic hotel, but a hostel with a beating heart and somewhere you will find nowhere else. This hostel will be an incentive for me to travel back to Santiago!!!

Fantastic family friendly Hostal (we travelled with our 12 year old daughter). Very clean and modern, but with loads of character. The Hostal was a short walk to cerro san cristobal funicular and the historic downtown. Room was clean and spacious and the attached bathroom was excellent. Breakfast was fantastic and the restaurant served a simple but excellent menu of local dishes for very reasonable prices. Staff was very helpful with bookings and local knowledge / advice. They even had gated off street parking for our rental car.

Nothing. it was a great stay.

The staff was amazingly nice. When I arrived, I got a long and full explanation of the different neighborhoods around the hostal as well as many personalized recommandations. The room was comfortable and warm. The location is amazing, with the coolest barrios around the corner and the metro steps away. Breakfast is good as well.

I appreciated the charm of the place and the helpful, welcoming staff. There are some creaky floors, but the uniqueness and enchantment of the place is truly special. I would definitely stay here again!

Nothing.
