Ecohostel

Santiago


Backpackers and families looking to chill love this hostel's personalized service, cozy couches and sunny patio (complete with hammock). Eight-bed dorms in the converted old house can be dark, but bunks and lockers are both big and there are plenty of well-divided bathrooms. There's a women-only dorm.
