    I didn't feel the room was very clean when I first arrived, which probably didn't start off on the best foot. I think as a solo female traveller I might have felt more comfortable in a different part of the city.

    Staff were very welcoming and helpful.

    The staff was helpful when needed, but not exceedingly friendly or outgoing. The gentleman downstairs (bell man) was very friendly and helpful. Hotel feels a little outdated.

    Very good, central location, walkable to several points of interest. Decent pool with a little space around to sit, and hang out in the evening.

    Someone advised us not to go to a particular area of the city as there were ongoing protests and the police may use tear gas. Fortunately we were not going that way. I asked what they were protesting about and he said that people were always protesting about something in the city. Sometimes you can get five different protests going on.

    A good breakfast with plenty of choice. The restaurant food was excellent. It was nice to receive a welcome drink and we took the opportunity to try a Pisco Sour cocktail which is fab. All round a really good hotel experience. We were warned to be careful of our belongings, jewellery, phone etc. out on the street but didn't see any incidents or have any problems in the five days we were there.

    We had a very noisy air conditioner and couldn't turn it off. Only two small lifts so needed to wait a while, one couple on a tour had waited for 7 minutes. Had to use the lift as there was no stair access between level 6 and ground. We were on level 10.

    A lovely welcome from the reception staff. We had arrived late due to our flight being diverted. I messaged the hotel who were great. The restaurant was extremely busy and popular. As we arrived late we ate there and were given a complimentary drink each. Food was good. Pool looked great but we didn't have time to use it.

    Poor air conditioning. The room felt hot and stuffy when I first arrived. The thermostat on the wall was a decor. It had absolutely no function. I had to complain to the the front desk. They made the air conditioning cooler to be barely tolerable. Obviously they had a way of controlling the temperature. I later noticed that many shops were muggy with little cooling. Maybe that's just how air conditioning meant in Chile.

    Generally OK. Breakfast offered sufficient food. Liked the fresh fruits.

    BEWARE!!! Abundance of thieves…beautiful but rough area…I was robbed in the middle of the day, in a busy street few steps away from the hotel. Also …a strange smell in the room….big windows but they don’t open…no fresh air!

    The hotel is good….everything was ok, until I went out…(see my comments below).

    The location of the hotel is great - very close to many attractions. The corridors and the rooms look very tired (filthy carpets, broken bathroom doors, dirty closets). It's not the staff's fault - it just looks like the hotel needs a renovation pretty badly, which would make it a much nicer place to stay. All in all, we had a good time. The breakfast and the lobby areas are pretty nice, and the breakfast selection was very good. The pool is small, the water could be cleaner and the fact that is in the scorching sun most of the day made it unusable. For the price, and for 1 night, I would definitely recommend this hotel.
