Love & Hate relation with this hotel. Although is a great property, very central location and the nicest staff; the zone is very unsafe, almost no eating options and the room wasn't clean enough. This hotel have a great potential.
Hotel is very close to amenities and the metro. The staff are excellent and willing to help at any time. The room we stayed in was very roomy and clean.
my favorite hotel in Santiago Your staff is amazing Lucas,Camilo and Luis were great in the restaurant and Carlos,Brian,Crystal and Diana were some of the best I have seen in the reception area
The staff here is SO kind. The breakfast buffet is terrific. They are very accommodating with leaving luggage at the front desk when you arrive early and when you check out. This hotel is minutes from the Metro and in walking distance of everything in el Centro and Lastarria.
This is an Amazing place. Just 2 blocks away from San Pedro town center. The staff was wonderful, specially Joseph who provided all the information relating to places of interest in Atacama. Also helping to get the on line tickets for the hot springs in Purniima.
The property is situated Down town Santiago. Walking distance to lots places of places of interest. The staff was very helpful. Specially Crystal & Brian.
Nice hotel with friendly, excellent staff. The restaurant has good food with great service and the prices are very reasonable. There's a metro station a minute from the hotel, and an extensive shopping district across the avenue. Many museums and sights to see within easy walking distance. I travel to Santiago every year and this is my new go-to hotel.
This hotel was walking distance to Palacio La Moneda, Santa Lucía and Barrio Listarria. When we needed to go farther, we had the Universidad de Chile metro stop nearby. Excellent service from staff! We enjoyed our stay!
Very nice staff and comfortable bed. Room was a great size. Would have been perfect but the ac was not quite strong enough for the high outdoor temp. It wasn’t terrible it just needed to be slightly cooler. Overall would stay again. Location is superb.
Very nice hotel in downtown Santiago. Close to tourist attractions. Very walkable area.
The roombI had was 312 and it was really nice. A comfortable bed, quiet, refrigerator, safe and a nice walk in shower.
Breakfast was delicious. The restaurant at the hotel was very nice for dinner. Inexpensive and really good food. I will stay here again
My room was older with fixtures from another decade. However the room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the shower hot. The breakfast offered had many offerings. I did wish for a drinking glass in my room. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The main issue is that the rooms have a lot of short coming - water does not drain, We had a air conditioner leaking water in the room and mattresses moving easily etc. I must say the front desk staff was outstanding, Extremely helpful in trying to sort out our concerns. Plus for any help we needed, Taxi, directions, tours etc, always willing to help. With all the issues - would definitely stay there again as its very centrally located.
