Photo hides hostal rooms dirtiness
I spent 3 weeks in this downtown Santiago hostal and I live to regret it. The owner, a pleasant lady, does not spend the time to really manage the place : rooms are on the second floor on both sides of a 6-foot wide hallway where even during the day it needs to turn on the lights. In room #6 where I stayed , the room smelled feces , the toilet bowl showed solid rims of feces stains and the bowl outside as well. I was provided every 2nd day towels with ragged sides, red-brown spots and the mattress showed signs of holes and rusted springs. Roaches seem to come out at night and roam freely. Photo hides bad management of room cleanliness.
