Nice old style flair in house from about 1900. Very close to the city center. Nice places to sit down, like a roof terrase and another living room.

Stay away if allergic to cats
My three friends and I stayed in Hostel Casaltura's bunkbed room for four, which was nice and clean. We enjoyed our room immensely, however, the room could have used another power outlet. When we arrived at the hostel, we were buzzed in and showed to our room. There is a very big and wind-y staircase, which can be a hike to walk up. It would have been nice if the staff would have been more friendly and offered to carry our bags after a very long 15+ hour journey. The staff was rather cold and unwelcoming. These minor inconveniences were incomparable, though, to the prevalence of cats and cat hair throughout the property. The sofas, tables, and floors were not clean and filled with cat hair. What's more, we saw the cats not only lick all the ceramic mugs, but also lick the spouts of the watercooler. Unbeknownst to us we drank contaminated cat water! As someone who is incredibly allergic to cats, I had no idea the property had cats or that I'd be ill the entirety of my stay. Management needs to be up front with guests about pets before guests book.

This place is great! Great location to Cerro San Cristobal, Belle Vista, local markets and museums. The staff are friendly, professional, and so helpful. They go above and beyond to help you with your needs. Have stayed here a couple times now and is my "go to" place now, in Santiago. Love it.

Bon service et bon déjeuner. Bien situé par rapport au centre. Par contre chambre près de la rue très bruyante et pour cela je ne recommande pas cet hôtel si vous supportez mal le bruit de la rue.

Casaltura
The hostel is in a great location for walkking to many of Santiago’s sights. However, being in the centre of town there are a lot of hard accelerating busses passing from the early morning and the windows don’t block out the noise. I did have a room right over the street though, one off it may have been less noisy. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fine and there’s comfy communal areas. One thing to consider is you have to carry your luggage up several flights of creaky stairs to get to reception. For a base to explore the city for a few nights though, I would recommend it.

I loved Casaltura! I arrived late at night, and Francisco could not have been nicer. He helped me check in, gave me ideas for what to do while I was in Santiago, and was very patient with my attempts at Spanish. I was traveling solo and ended up having the 6-bed dorm all to myself for all three nights; it was great to go exploring all day then come "home" to peace and quiet. The building itself is gorgeous, and very centrally located, just blocks away from metro stops and from the Plaza de Armas where many tours begin. The breakfast was great, and I didn't even have a chance to use the awesome rooftop terrace / garden, but it looked amazing. Casaltura was one of my favorite parts of my time in Santiago!
