beautiful b&b and even more beautiful room. We had the attic and it was spacious, beautifully decorated and with ample space for our family. The room was clean. Contact with the host was excellent. As we arrived later, he sent us the entry codes and even photos of where the keys were, perfect instructions! Good breakfast. To anyone coming by car - it's in a pedestrian area, but upon booking the host sent me a list of the parking garages and the rates. So it was easy to look up and find the closest car park (La Salle).

    seems like they had a good interior designer when the hotel was initially installed. But if you do not look after things, they break and at the end there is a bad impression that stays. Michelin starred resraurant is nice to look at but has nothing at all to do with the hotel. Was just maybe the same interior designer at the base.

    Interesting, modern, small hotel close to the centre (main attractions only a few paces away). Spotlessly clean, quirky designer hotel housed in a smallish corner plot. You have to roll with limitations on space e.g. headroom in the rooms, and enjoy it for what it is - a great experience. Reception area full of interesting books and decor. Excellent breakfast and lovely friendly staff. Given that it's in central Santiago, parking would be too much to ask but large municipal car parks are c. 10 minutes walk away so no problem.
