Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hostal Rio Amazonas enjoys a great location near the Metro station, making it easy to get around Santiago, and is within walking distance of attractions like Plaza de Armas and the Bella Vista area's bars and restaurants. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, each unique due to the hostal being in an older home; some rooms even offer soundproofing from the busy street. Breakfast is often highlighted as very good, with a variety of options including fruit, bread, and eggs, though some have mentioned the noise from the creaky wooden floors can be disruptive. The hostal provides a relaxed atmosphere for travelers looking for a comfortable stay.

helpful staff luggage storage good facilities basic room strange vibe squeaky floor

the staff was super helpful, i can say that. i really loved they let me store my luggage after check out. the place had good facilities, i think, it was beautiful.

the room itself was very basic i think. the vibe i got felt a little strange, its true. the floors and bed creaked and squeaked like crazy! every time i stood up the floor made loud creaks and squeaks.
