Viña Del Mar-Valparaiso -Casablanca -Reñaca-Oceanic Rock-Concon
"Cutest hotel I’ve been in. Love the room and decor. Location is up the hill so be prepared to climb if you walk. Uber would be a good option but we walked. Breakfast was simple. Staff were excellent. Google maps showed the correct location but announced we had arrived when we were still 1min away. Hotel is mostly below street level and not easy to see."
"Boutique hotel, full of charm. Wonderful roof-top restaurant. Staff at desk very helpful. However, if you have mobility issues be aware that there are no elevators. Ask for a room on the ground floor but know that you will have to climb a long flight of stairs for the included breakfast. But it is totally worth it! Would absolutely stay again"
"Exclente instalaciones, el palacio precioso y el desayuno de primera. Ubicación ideal tambien, con el museo de bellas artes (palacio Babburizza) al lado.
Staff esmerado y amable."
"The only problem we experienced was the fact that the hotel had live music in the restaurant until very late in the night.
We had a very early start the next morning and did not get much sleep!"
