Ok, but certainly not better. The hotel currently celebrates its 50th anniversary, and it also presents itself exactly this way. Acceptable for a one night stay before travelling further - though the breakfast was also just mediocre at best.

The hotel is perfectly located in the center of town. We could walk easily anywhere we wanted. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If you don't speak Spanish, use your Google Translate app as most people here in Chile don't speak English. We had beautiful views of the city on the 9th floor. I would come back again

The bathroom had mold and needs new sealing around the tub to prevent it. The tv was the size of my forearm. The air conditioning did not work. When i called the front desk about it, they sent a 8 inch mini fan to my room for the 2 remainder days. Not enjoyable in the slightest.

El desayuno muy bueno y variado. Ofrecen tostadas francesas, algo que no he visto en los desayunos bufete de otros hoteles. Todo muy limpio y muy atentos en todo momento. El único detalle es que el aire acondicionado de nuestra habitación no funcionaba pero tampoco hizo mucha falta ya que hubo buen clima durante nuestra estadía pero puede ser un aspecto a considerar

Buen lugar para alojar por trabajo

Muy limpio, buen aislamiento de sonido, el baño tiene todo lo esencial y buen desayuno. Por mejorar: el sostén de la ducha estaba suelto, avisé y no lo arreglaron. Había sólo un enchufe en la habitación (lejos del velador). El frigobar no tenía bebidas de menú. El televisor no es HD ni permite conexión a smartphone/plataformas.

Reencuentro

Hace cuarenta y cinco años que no venía, habitación hermosa y limpia. Agradable climatización y muy silenciosa. Especial para el descanso. Nos quedaba al frente del Teatro Concepción para el concierto de Nicolás Ruiz. Cruzamos la plaza caminando y el auto a resguardo en el estacionamiento subterráneo. Que mejor. Lindos recuerdos, venia con mis padres cuando niño.. gracias.

Förvänta dig inte för mycket...

Ingen pool fast det stod att det skulle finnas. Frukost, tråkig och med låg kvalité. Bra med kostnadsfritt privat garage. Bra att det ligger centralt och har bra ljudisolering. Atmosfären, mörkt. Restaurangen stänger tidigt och det finns ingen bar. Ingenstans att ta vägen efter kl 21. Tv endast på spanska förutom BBC.
