There's no doub that the location is the strongest point of this accomodation, because is close to restaurants, parks, bus stop, the tower and a lot of museums, even Bellas Artes. The facilities are the same mention in the description with the only detail that the walls aren't soundproof at least, not my room in the first floor. It not a problem if you have a heavy sleep like me.

The rooms were horribly small, having no place to put the suitcases other than on the floor blocking the way to the bathroom. The bathroom had a huge step to get in, very dangerous at night, and the whole experience was that one was in a cave. The breakfasts were adequate, as they offered no eggs, etc. Most of the staff, especially the women, were excellent. I would not stay there again. The owners should charge a little more and upgrade the facilities to make them safer and offer a better breakfast.

Great place

The building is a little dated, but they have the necessary amenities. The people are very helpful and friendly, including being very patient while i attempted to use google translate as my spanish is not great. The breakfast is decent, not much variety but seems pretty standard from what i noticed re breakfast in other places in Chile. The beds are a little soft, but not unbearably so (my personal preference is hard mattresses so it might be the bed is perfect for you). A lot of street noise, but the city was loud everywhere i went so the hotel cannot help this! We had a room on the 2nd floor which was very spacious, but there was no lift. It was in Downtown, and we walked most places in 15 to 60 minutes depending on the venue location. Overall i would highly recommend.

for the price the place is good. Just the area around the hotel is dirty but that is to be expected being downtown. My only problem is the hotel does not have AC. I was just there and it is summer and gets quite hot. The fan in the room was not enough. It is good they give you a simple breakfast and a small bag lunch that is included . All the rooms have wifi which was great. The rooms are all small too

Not good area for single woman

The hotel was fine. Breakfast was decent, a sandwich in a bag, yogurt, instant coffee. Helpful staff. The area is a bit sketchy, or at least appears so. As a single woman, I wouldn't want to be walking around at night, and there's not much nearby.

Basic acceptable for the price

the room is descent for the price comparatively to other hotels, it was as described , it has no windows, convenient for short stay. the bathroom was very lean, nice shower , the bed however is not conformable but acceptable, the bed sheets were stained a bit, the breakfast was pretty basic, just a soluble coffee, juice, boiled eggs and a sandwich, yogourt, but it's a ice snack in the morning for sure.
