"This hotel is in a historic home and is a much better experience than staying in a large hotel. The rooms are spacious and the breakfast is hearty. It is in a residential area, so be sure to get a dinner recommendation for the area before you head out. The best thing about this place is the staff. Everyone there does everything they can to be responsive, helpful and welcoming. I’d definitely stay there again."

Top Downtown Santiago Hotel Reviews

Nest Paris-Londres

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful historic building and very helpful hosts. Also a very convenient hotel, being close to the centre"

Debaines Hotel Santiago

8/10 Good

"Super clean , everything was shining! The toilet had bidet which was so modern that you felt like you are controlling an airplane! The toilet was warm and pleasant! The pressure of water was high. Location is perfect . Negative point was the view from window that opened to neighboring buildings which were very ugly but not hotel’s fault. The reception staff tried to charge me $120 dollars for 4 hours early check in but finally they agreed to let me check in early for $ 35 The breakfast was more cooked to order rather than buffet ."
