  “ I guess the room needed some renovation. It was also very noisy. Except that, it was really nice! ”

  “ Great location and staff. However the room was quite dirty and did not fit the hostel rating. This is a double room ensuite though, the dorms may be different. No fan either. Good common rooms. ”

  “ I ENJOYED STAYING AT THE HOSTEL, BECAUSE THE LOCATION WAS EXCLLENT. YOU COULD WALK A FEW BLOCK TO SEVERAL OF THE ATTRACTIONS, AND THE METRO WAS ABOUT 120 FEET FROM THE HOSTEL. THE STAFF, SPECIALLY SEBASTIAN, TONINO AND JESUS MADE ME FEEL AT HOME. WHEN I RETURN TO SANTIAGO, I WILL STAY THERE. ”

Being low season the hostel was quite and felt like we had the place to ourselves. reat DVD collection and lounge so relax in and kitchen facilities were great. Very close to metro Santa Ana just make sure you take the correct exit. Very friendly and helpful... more helpful staff. Breakfast was great too. Would definitely stay there next time round in Santiago. close ”

  “ You need to be initiated (have address) to find this place so no stranger can find it. Travellers feel here like at home. Atmosphere is really very unique and nice thanks to the owners. The only problems are level of cleaniliness and that some objects can break any moment like a lock in the door. ”

  “ A beautiful home with very kind and helpful hosts. Our double room was fantastic and had a lot of charm, and the outdoor area was great for breakfast or for relaxing. The location in Barrio Brasil was also great and there is a subway stop right around the corner. There was not that many people... more people staying there so the hostel was a little quiet and not a big social scene (could be both a plus and a minus), but I could see it pretty lively of there were more people around. close ”

  “ A great hostel, they party hard on the weekend, but are respectful the rest of the time. Both guys, Carlito and Seb are cracking and will work hard to make your stay worthwhile. A real, "my house" feeling. Great propert, cool dog and great DVD collection! ”

  “ It was a very nice stay! Very comfortable beds and real hot shower! The guests are very gentle too. The location is not the best, but just in front of it there´s a subway (which is a great transportation option at Santiago). ”

  “ One of the best hostels we have ever stayed at. We have been around the world twice and this place really stood out for us. Brilliant staff. Sebastian and Felipe were super friendly and helpful. We didn't leave Santiago because we had such a great time. Very close to the metro. Nothing that... more Sebastian couldnt sort out for us. The breakfast was great too. Make sure you go to Vacas Gordas. Muchas gracias! Hasta la proxima! close ”

  “ Moai Viajero is the place to stay in Santiago! The rooms are clean and have a bit character, the hostel is diagonally across the street from the subway as well as having great amenities close by. Best of all are the owners, Sebastian and Gerardo, two fantastic guys who made our stay so enjoyable.... more enjoyable. I cannot recommend this hostel enough! close ”
