Summary: Great staff, clean spacious private rooms, with lots of nice amenities: eating area, lounges, pool table, gym and bar. Some issues with street noise, but other than that no complaints. Would definitely stay here again in future.

Summary: The hostel was pretty empty during our stay in September and we always had the kitchen for us when we wanted to cook something. That was good because the kitchen is not the biggest. Also the fridge was already full of groceries.
Our private room with own bathroom was simple but good. The bathroom always felt wet because there is no window or ventilation. And it was outside of our room, accessible via one key.
The cleaning team cleans the kitchen, dining area and bathrooms everyday incl. all floors but the smell of the cleaning products was very intense and a bit too much for us. But it was very very clean.
The work area in the cellar was very quiet and good to work with nice office chairs and good wifi quality. The wifi did not work in our room on the top most floor.
The staff is very friendly and speaks English very well which is seldom in Latin America.
We also used their laundry service, which was ready on the next day for a reasonable price.

Summary: Hostel staff are very friendly and accommodating. The location is excellent, next to the bohemian district and also close to Cerro Christobol. The metro station, intersecting both line 1 and 5 is within a couple of minutes of walking distance. We reached a few hours before the official checkin time, but we were given the room that was very helpful. The only problem we had was because of the heavy rain on the second day, there was some water leak from the ceiling in our room. But we were shifted to another room almost immediately after we reported.

Summary: Merced 88 was a great hostel. Excellent service from staff, place was clean with great showers. Has large wooden lockers in rooms that you provide your own lock for (I'd imagine you have some on your luggage. Plenty of space in dorm rooms.
Conveniently located near a subway station so you can catch the Metro to the hostel from the airport (well you take the public bus to the nearest metro station first, but a lot cheaper than catching a taxi). Basic free buffet breakfast included (no bacon, sausages or things like that) but you get two boiled eggs, bread, cereal, juice, fruit. Next to a park with the best of the fountains/sculptures of Santiago out front. Not far from a large supermarket (go left out front door, stay on Merced, walk for about 6 or 7 minutes). Across the park and the Terminator 2 drain river thing behind, about a ten minute walk from the hostel is the Funicular which takes you up the mountain to the cable cars and religious character statues.

Summary: Front desk staff gave lots of resourceful information prior to arrival. They were responsive and helpful. On arrival, it was a little challenge to identify the hostel as there was no sign and the door was closed.
They explained the reason and also advised on the safety when going out.
They supported how to find PCR testing center. Nathan & Mila speak good English and respond quickly whenever I sent them a message. I was very thankful for their excellent service.

Summary: Great value for the money. The kind of place you stay when you are young & idealistic & broke. Not necessarily for traveling retired grandparents.
