8.4Verified guest“I stayed for two nights in a double or twin room. The room was cute and clean. The staff were the highlight — kind and super helpful. The location was perfect, just a short walk to all the sights. I loved the cosy atmosphere.”
8.4Verified guest“Stylish accommodation with incredibly attentive staff, even when I made a gentle request at the reception. The location is amazing, close to everything, and a 10-minute walk from a shopping mall. There's also an in-house restaurant on site.”
8.4Verified guest“Large unit with a view.”
8.4Verified guest“We loved the location and the restaurant that's part of the hotel — we didn't have breakfast there, but the Menu del dia was fantastic, as were the staff.”
8.4Verified guest“This is a charming hotel in Santiago's old town. It's been modernised to a very good standard while keeping many original features. The bedroom was beautiful and bright, and we were lucky to get a room on the second floor with a balcony. Breakfast wasn't included in the room price, but for a small charge of five euros per person, it was the best value yet in terms of selection and quality. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I'd highly recommend this hotel and hope to return on my next visit.”
8.4Verified guest“The rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable.”
