Hotel was just ok. Unless Expedia is falsely advertising, this was not VIP status and I’ve stayed in plenty hotels with a variety of ranges (from renting hostels to renting villas). Lighting in room was horrible (not enough to do a proper makeup) Ventilation smelled of sewage at time Bathroom was not super clean However we appreciate the staff’s flexibility to accommodate early check-in and late check-in for a price.

In my opinion this is the best hotel in Santiago. Rooms are large with stunning views of the Andes mountains. Well kept facilities, well trained staff and a terrace/pool area that’s a true oasis in a very busy city with warm temperatures 9 or 10 months of the year.
