Welcome to Sammy
My name is Charles Pankow and I started Hostal de Sammy in Santiago with my best friend Sammy, an Australian Cattle Dog mix that I brought with me from the United States. Since opening of the hostel last year, I lost Sammy to cancer but his name and spirit lives on in the hostel. Sammy and MeI like to say that staying at the hostel is much like staying at a friends house where you have a comfortable place in which you can rest after a long trip. The best part is that everything is included in the price with a great free breakfast, pool table, table football, at least 4 actually working computers with fast internet, and a living room with hundreds of movies to choose from. Sammy is your best friend in Chile.
