About this property

Just 100 meters from Baquedano Metro Station, Hostal Río Amazonas offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and TV sets. We are in the middle of 3 great neighborhoods, each at 10 min walking distance: Bellavista (nightlife), Lastarria (gastronomy) and Barrio Italia (Antiques and design). Santiago’s historic town center is at 30 min walking or 10 min in public transport. Decorated in lively colors, rooms at Río Amazonas are very bright. All of them feature heating and private bathrooms. If you wish, you can request breakfast as an extra. Bread, homemade jam, juice, fruits, yogurt, cheese, egg, coffee, tea and milk. Drinks, coffee and food can be ordered at the bar. Excursions can be booked at the tour desk, and there is a library featuring books in several languages. We can provide parking upon request (extra cost), and shuttles can be arranged to the airport or bus terminal with our trusted taxi. Hostal Río Amazonas is 10 km from Arturo Merino Benitez Airport.

Company information

We are an Ecuadorian Chilean family, and we manage our hostel for over twenty years with the same enthusiasm as always. Our French manager joined our family 10 years ago and bring her european touch to our services. All together, we provide a family ambience, comfortable, safe and secure environment in the best location of Santiago de Chile.

Property information

Our building from 1929 is Tudor style, and is recognized as a historical and architectural building. This mansion was the home of Luis Risopatron, chilean explorer-geographer, who performed the first atlas of Chilean Patagonia. It is entirely renovated to provide the best comfort to our guests.

Neighbourhood information

Plaza Italia is the real center of Santiago: just a walk to all tourist attractions, as the bohemian Barrio Bellavista, the comercial barrio Providencia, the elegant barrio Italia, the cultural and gastonomic area Lastarria-Bellas Artes, and civic center Plaza de Armas. From plaza Italia, it is very easy to go everywhere in the city, there is plenty of transportation (taxis, colectivos, 2 lines of subway, buses). We are surrounded by parks, so it is very nice to walk to all these places by the green areas of Santiago.
