“Great location, nice staff but not for light sleepers.”

Location and friendly staff! Heater in the room was very effective

“Really enjoyed my time, would definitely return again.”

The location, the warm and friendly nature of the staff, Christian was always very friendly and helpful. The fact that you could book a number of tours direct via reception. Bkfst was pretty good. Roberto at the roof top bar was always friendly and myself and some friends really enjoyed our time in his company. There are plenty of showers and toilets and the water is hot and plentiful with a very good pressure. Having the beds remade each day was also a nice touch.

Christian was incredible. Went above and beyond to gather information and help us out. The other staff were lovely too. Really good English speakers too for those who are nervous.

Staff could not have been more friendly and helpful Location is good - only 5 mins walk from metro and easy to get public transport from airport Basic facilities but did the job!

“Very good!”

Location is really good, very close to the center. Malik at the reception is the best. He helped us a lot! He not only helped us carry heavy bags, but also answered our questions about local culture, views and luggage storage. We’ve lived in the hostel three times. 100%recommend!

“Nice”

Bartender and terrace.

“Pleasant stay”

Staff were very polite. Lot of shops and main attractions in the walkable distance. The room was spacious and had cupboards to store our personal things inside the room. Common area was good to relax as well; It was neat and tidy.

Excellent location very close to metro station. Room was big and comfortable.

“Good stayz”

The staff were super friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Cristian. The vibes are good if you are outgoing. Location was great!

“Great people and great service in Santiago”

This hostel was well located near the Lastarria neighbourhood and in proxmity to public transit. Rooms were as advertised and the range of facilities are really good for travellers! The team at reception was always very attentive and able to organise taxis and give advice. Christian is an absolute superstar at reception. He speaks very warmly to everyone who enters and is always willing to give genuine advice and help to everyone. He's a definite asset to Merced 88. I stayed here on my first layover in Santiago, and I had planned to try another hostel on my return, but I cancelled that to return the Merced 88 because it had everything I needed. Don't forget to check out and enjoy the rooftop!

“Good location, decent facilities”

Good facilities. Nice rooftop. Kitchen had basics we could use. Christian who worked there was knowledgable, friendly, kind and super helpful. Room was spacious.

The location is great, downtown, next to lot of the city's landmarks. Room & beds were comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was good value for money. The terrace is a great spot to hang-out & sociliase with other guests & stuff.

Cristian and the German Guy (self described) were great and super helpful
