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.

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.

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.

Glad we were staying at a safe and comfortable hotel during May day, as we were told it wasn't safe to walk through the city that night.

Great location and friendly staff!
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.

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.
