"This hotel is in a historic home and is a much better experience than staying in a large hotel. The rooms are spacious and the breakfast is hearty. It is in a residential area, so be sure to get a dinner recommendation for the area before you head out. The best thing about this place is the staff. Everyone there does everything they can to be responsive, helpful and welcoming. I’d definitely stay there again."

Top Downtown Santiago Hotel Reviews

Hotel Cumbres Lastarria

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful visit! Loved the breakfast. The rooms were very clean. The bar was a nice place to hang out. The street had a lot of restaurants. The bathroom is all glass in the room, so make sure you're comfortable with the people you're traveling with. Would highly recommend."

The Singular Santiago

"An oasis of calm and elegance in the heart of the cosmopolitan city of Santiago, Chile. Our every wish was thoughtfully addressed and anticipated. Professionally dressed staff, who were professional, polite and courteous. The spacious rooms were the epitome of luxury following an active ski holiday. Located in a safe neighbourhood, walking distance to restaurants, museums and shopping, this is the only place to stay in Santiago. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and healthy with attentive staff."
