Its carpeted halls make Santiago feel hotel-like, but the sociable kitchen-lounge space promotes swapping travel tips, while being large enough to keep to yourself if you prefer. Dorms are in capsule-like bunks, and there are ample shower rooms, though you'll have to scurry to a different floor if staying in a private twin. The roof-terrace family room is immense.
