Il gusto nel decorare, la gentilezza dello staff, dove si trova, la camera bellissima, il massaggio.

Pros:

A fantastic place to stay in Santiago! Very nice rooms with a classical but still boutique touch but the best experience of the stay was the welcome of the staff: our host took so much time to explain us the city, give recommendations (great dinner suggestion!) and make us feel at home immediately!

Cons:

Absolutely nothing!

Tranquilidad y confort a muy pocos metros de la catedral
Pros:

La ubicación, el l edificio histórico en el que está ubicado y el trato del personal, muy amables y profesionales. Hicieron que la estancia fuera todavía más amena.

Cons:

Que no hubiera una pequeña nevera en la habitación. Supongo que tiene que ver con las características de este edificio
