Mal! Al llegar la piscina estaba cerrada junto con la terraza en pleno verano, y tampoco hicieron algo para compensar. En ocasiones escogemos el hotel en base a las áreas recreativas cómo piscinas o terrazas, ese era mi caso. Resto del hotel ok, pero pésimo servicio tener cerrado algo tan vital.

Well, in general Chile closes thing pretty early so food was limited. We paid for the breakfast but most tours started before they served it. Most places start serving at 6 am but not them… so we paid 17x2 for 3 days for a breakfast that only had an apple a dried sandwich and warm yogurt. Not really worth it to be honest and if I could I could for my breakfast fees back! The conditions were old and the bathroom was kinda dirty… there was a lot of build up in the tub and washing are —which was kinda icky. The towels were so old that they felt thin and scratchy. The pool was dirty it was dark green, and the restaurant didn’t have much food varieties—but at least it was open late. The staff was helpful and spoke English.

O hotel é relativamente antigo, os quartos são médios, não deixam muito a desejar, mas não tem de mais. O ar condicionado às vezes não gelava o quarto direito, o carpete é meio velho e o banheiro também. O café da manhã é um pouco fraco, tem boas opções de pães mas só isso. A equipe do hotel é maravilhosa, todos educados e prestativos, a decoração do lobby também é muito boa. A localização é muito boa, a parte do centro da para fazer andando e é perto do transporte público, a noite fica meio estranho as ruas próximas, mas pela manhã é bem seguro.

O hotel é razoável. Os quartos são espaçosos, mas mereciam uma reforma, assim como os corredores do hotel. A roupa de cama é muito boa. A localização e a segurança na entrada do hotel também são muito boas. O café da manhã é bem diversificado (obviamente não é como nos hotéis brasileiros, mas para um hotel internacional achei surpreendente). O absurdo fica por conta de não ter água quente na maioria dos dias. Santiago é uma cidade muito fria dependendo da época do ano e não ter água quente para tomar banho é inacreditável em um hotel que se diz 4 estrelas.

Air conditioning was very poor, it was either not working for the 5 days we were there or set so high for money saving reasons it left our room permanently at 27 degrees and very hot and uncomfortable. Staff advised us the manager would contact us which never happened. Staff came to the room after 4 hours waiting and said it was fixed but it remained at 27 degrees the whole time. Air conditioning works well in the lobby and reception but not in the rooms. We didn’t get our hotels.com early check in or room upgrade despite others checking in after us getting an upgrade.

En general, tuvimos una mala experiencia. El aire acondicionado no funcionó correctamente durante nuestros 2 días de estancia, lo que nos impidió dormir cómodamente por el calor. A pesar de que un técnico vino al segundo día, no logró repararlo y nos dijeron que iban a darnos un ventilador que no cumplieron. Además, el servicio del restaurante fue muy deficiente. Si bien llegabamos 30 min antes del cierre de la cocina se molestaban y nos ofrecian solo platos simples o muy caros, obviando los platos mas económicos con ma excusa no válida de que no les daba tiempo a servirnos. Por ultimo, pedimos que nos hicieron una llamada para despertarnos en la mañana (wakeup call) y nunca nos llamaron.... servicio muy deficiente manejado por jovenes a los cuales parece no importarles la experiencia de los visitantes.

We love the location of this hotel, which is very convenient. However, the check in process was frustrating. The hotel staff refused to check in anyone before the official 3PM check-in time, even at 2:30PM. We understand not all the rooms are available before 3PM. This is the first hotel we've ever stayed showed such inflexibility.
