Goede uitgangspositie voor bezoek aan het oude centrum
Pros:

Gunstige ligging t.o.v. het centrum van Santiago.
Het hotel biedt veel extra's buiten de gehuurde kamer, zoals een tuin , aparte comfortabele zithoek, een pergola. Ook parkeervoorziening goed geregeld. Goed en schoon sanitair.

Cons:

Weinig stopcontacten in de kamer.

Pros:

Das Hotel liegt sehr günstig direkt an der Mauer zur Altstadt. Das Hotel hat schöne Aufenthaltsecken und eine tolle Gartenanlage, wo man nach einem anstrengenden Tag relaxen kann.

Cons:

Es gibt keine Möglichkeit, das Gepäck vor dem Hotel auszuladen. Man muss eine abenteuerlich enge Gasse zu Parkplätzen ( die nicht zum Hotel gehören ) hinunter fahren und hoffen, dass man dort einen Parkplatz findet. Die Klimaanlage war bei 35°C Außentemperatur überfordert, so dass es im Zimmer zu warm blieb.

Fabulous second stay at this lovely hotel
Pros:

The property is old with plenty of beautiful features and character. The thick walls mean the rooms are quiet. The aircon is a blessing, the beds are super comfortable and the breakfast has plenty of variety. All staff are extremely helpful and polite, arranging cabs etc. Only a 2 min walk to the fantastic food market and 10 mins to Cathedral. This was my second stay and I will return again.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike here
