This hostel, a tastefully converted former townhouse which has oodles of character, is situated in the barrio Brasil, a bit of a run down part of the city but which nonetheless exudes an air of former glory. It includes modern facilities such as an outdoor swimming pool and pleasant seating area which is a little sun trap, making it a... More

Well located in a beautiful old converted building and reasonably priced. The facilities are on a par with most hotels in the area. Aside from having a maximum of six people per (very spacious) dorm, we also had lockers and and a sink. Plentiful showers and toilets on each floor as well as a number of large lounges and internet... More

This hostel is in a beautiful old (but modernised) sprawling mansion with outdoor areas and even a pool. The staff are really helpful and breakfast is really nice and included in the room rate. It's in a perfect location close to the metro and eateries.

The staff treated us like family, great sense of humour. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family. Home away from home. The building itself is very big and grand. So much space to chill out. The breakfasts are amazing!!!!!! Moy Rico!

The hostel is a converted mansion and I really mean mansion. The beds and sheets are comfortable, there's tons of space, a pool (only for the summer), the breakfast costs 2 dollars extra but you get your money's worth, and the staff is helpful. Also, another guest stole my laptop while I was here and in most hostels I would... More

I've backpacked all over the world and this was one of the best hostels I've stayed in. I treated myself to a single room with a private bathroom and it felt like an upscale hotel. I can't speak for the dorm rooms, but I'm sure they're great. What's fun about this place is that it is in an old classy... More

My friend and I arrived here at about 6am after an overnight bus journey from Pucon. They checked us in and gave us a bed to sleep in right away! The breakfast was good, with fried or scrambled eggs, cereal, toast, bread, cheese and ham. The dorms were spacious with great size lockers, the bathrooms were clean. I thought it... More

The staff member that wa there when we arrived ruined this hostel for us. All the facilities are great (bar the kitchen) but we had no idea because she didn´t tell us about them. She didn´t tell us about the washing facilities or the dvd rooms, one was on another floor to us. She didn´t tell us about the bar... More

I hadn't stayed in a hostel since my twenties, but this is nothing like the places I stayed in then. The Happy House is a beautiful old 19th century era building with wood floors, classical columns, detailed woodwork throughout. The ceilings in my private room had to be at least three meters high, if not more. It combines all this... More
