About

Plaza De Armas Hostel

Plaza De Armas Hostel sits on the sixth floor of a building on Compañía de Jesús, right in Santiago's historic core. The address places you steps from the Plaza de Armas, the city's main square, and within walking distance of the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Central Market, and the Santa Lucía Hill.

This is a straightforward, 2-star hostel that focuses on what matters for budget travelers: a central base, a communal atmosphere, and easy access to public transport. Santiago's metro network is close by, and the airport bus stops at Los Héroes, about a 20-minute walk away.
