Pros:

Bella la posizione, le camere, la gentilezza dello staff e il giardino con vista sulla cattedrale.

Cons:

Manca l'aria condizionata, si moriva dal caldo e siamo stati obbligati ad aprire finestra e porta della camera per arieggiare, poi durante la notte, a porta chiusa siano stati costretti a lasciare la finestra aperta che dava sulla strada molto rumorosa. Per il periodo in cui siamo stati è obbligatorio avere aria condizionata!

Wonderful views, clean rooms, helpful staff
Pros:

The room was excellent with an amazing view of Santiago cathedral from my window.
The garden at the back was lovely
My dad lost his room key one night and the staff were able to come to him and help him.

Cons:

The breakfast was limited (although fresh toast and orange juice was welcome)
The room was expensive for a hotel which wasn’t manned from 10pm - 7am
There is no lift which means dragging heavy cases up and down stairs early in the morning v noisy.
