Happy House Hostel

Top choice in Santiago


The best hostel in Barrio Brasil is happy news for weary travelers. This 1910 mansion has a fabulous molded ceiling, funky modern touches and incongruous art deco stylings. There's a pool, bar and patio out back, a few stories of dorm rooms and definitely worthwhile privates.
