호스탈 카사 아보리겐(Hostal Casa Aborigen)

The surrounding area of the property was very quiet and I felt safe walking during the night to the restaurants located close to the hotel. The room was perfect for my needs, it has a private bathroom. A subway station and bus stops are at walking distance from the hostel.

Filthy hostel. Kitchen sink covered with plastic, no running water, oily silverware, no cooking pots, dirty cups. Kitchen door couldn’t be opened more than 1 foot to get in and out. Employees always absent. Gate’s key useless. We rung the bell for no one to come out. Toilets clogged, cold water in the girls’ bathroom. Cleaning crew stole $1,500 dollars from us. When I asked whether our valuables were secure the answers was “yes.” We left for the whole day to visit Santiago, upon returning we discovered the money pouch was misplaced and $1,500 missing. When trying to find someone to talk to, no one was around. A rather humiliating experience. When I reached the manager over the phone, he was unapologetic, defensive, and ineffectual, promising to study the video camera and reach back to me. Nothing, only silence. Their website is downright deceiving! Avoid this hostel as the plague. I traveled with seven students and we stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights. We couldn’t wait to leave.

It was hard for us to review this property as one needs to remember not to demand 4-5 star standards of a clearly advertised 2 star accommodation. It is also important to note we arrived during Covid not long after the borders were open. The two guys there were brilliant, we had no Spanish and they were super helpful organising SIM cards for us and they manned the desk 24/7. The location was perfect to walk around to all the trendy cafes and bars and safe. Our room was massive with our own ensuite and thankfully we had an air conditioning unit to heat our room, an ensuite and our bed was very comfortable. The building is beautiful, but sometimes (and we would have contributed to the noise when we were arriving/leaving), noisy as people walk the timber floors with their bags on wheels. BUT don’t let this discourage you - bring your ear plugs. Overall, value for money!

Se vc procura economizar na hospedagem, esse é 1 ótimo hostal. Emmanuel é 1 cara bacana, tenta ajudar e o hostal fica numa ótima localização, perto do metrô e numa rua silenciosa. qdo fui, tava tudo funcionando, fiquei 1 total de 7 noites ao longo de 20 dias. Café da manhã meio mixa pros padrões brasileiros, mas razoável. Prós: silêncio, informalidade, Contras: ar condicionado é desligado no meio da noite (economia?), bocado de poeira, café meia-boca.

Hotellet slitet, men allt funkade. Internet, aircondition, varmvatten. Det enda var att frukosten serverades efter 08.00 eller senare och att man bara fick ett bröd per gäst. Generöst med smör. Det ingick även cornflakes och mjölk. Personalen var vänlig och hjälpsam. Hotellet kändes mycket tryggt och lugnt och det låg mycket bra till mitt i Barrio Italia men på en tyst gata. En underlig sak dock var att hotellet drog hela beloppet när jag bokade. Dom ska enligt hotels inte dra några pengar på kortet förrän man har anlänt.

Ficamos a duas primeiras noites em um quarto e depois fomos transferidos para um melhor. (isso foi avisado apenas no check in). O café da manhã era composto por pães de forma e um pão típico, café solúvel, leite, cereal, geleia, doce de leite e um frio. No segundo dia pareceu que só foi servido o que sobrou no dia anterior. No terceiro dia 7h15 o café ainda não estava arrumado (horário informado do café: das 7 às 10h). No quarto e quinto dia saímos antes do horário do café. O banheiro não possuía pano de chão e por isso alagava. A banheira não pode ser utilizada. O chuveiro do primeiro quarto demorava muito para esquentar. Os atendentes são bem solícitos. Localização boa
