We had a fantastic stay. The location is perfect — easily walkable to major attractions, great bars, and excellent restaurants, making it an ideal base to explore the city. The room was good enough for us - nothing special but comfortable. The hotel staff were consistently helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. A very special thank you to Leonardo, our guide for a day trip to Valparaíso. He w...

Really great. Interesting building and rooms. Floors are terrific. Cage elevator too. Comfortable beds, good breakfast, and helpful staff. Rooftop has essentially a plunge pool, cold - was not heated when we were there. Sat up top in afternoon for a bit on lounges under tent, lovely. Great location to across large street and up hill or into Italia or Lastaria.

Great stay overall. let's break it down: Hotel: Fantastic really cute rooms and staff went above and beyond. Average breakfast experience but fine. Roof top bar: Absolutely amazing: 10/10. We had fantastic snacks, the pisco sour is amazing, the non alcoholic limonade is absolutely awesome too. And the view is stunning. Even if you're not staying at the hotel, at least grab a drink!

The room is perfect for a couple. It's clean, comfortable, and quiet. It's in a great location, too. The Lastarria neighborhood is full of cafés, restaurants, and shops, but it's still quiet at night. San Cristóbal Hill, Parque Forestal, and Santa Lucía Hill are within walking distance, so it's easy to stroll around. The 24/7 reception is also great. Every receptionist was attentive and friendly...

It's full of art deco touches - lovely tiling, the first lift in Santiago, beautiful signage, wrought iron bannisters. Both my rooms were very stylish, v comfortable bed, lovely touches like water bottles, a small bottle of wine and a little box of chocolates. The rooftop bar is a...

We loved the style of this hotel 1920s art deco. It won't be for everybody especially if you are a lover of large chain hotels. The entrance way is charming with a lovely tiled floor and the young lady at reception was very helpful when my husband was unwell. The rooms are quirky but well designed and with the most comfortable super king bed. The area around the hotel is lovely with the most fanta...
