Hotel Casa Zañartu
The staff were very helpful. The hotel had lots of charm and history. Breakfast was good. The location is not in a tourist part of the city which was disappointing at first but allowed us to see more of Santiago.

Clean rooms, handy location. This is a mid range hotel & for that it’s great. Rooms a bit dark (just 1 more lamp per room please!) but good breakfast & staff keen to help. Ray at front desk is a champion.
