    This hotel was outstanding, especially for the price of the room. It is located just a few steps from the Cathedral in a quaint section of old Santiago. Every member of the staff that I interacted with was friendly and attentive to my needs. The hotel in general, and my room in particular have loads of character...just a beautiful hotel. Very highly recommended.

    As it’s a older building while it’s been done up really well the floors are quite noisy so if the room above is occupied, we could hear when it was being cleaned or people walking about or furniture being moved. It was not a big inconvenience for us as we were out of the hotel most of the day.

    The property was very easy to find and a great location (barely a minute walk to the cathedral) and right in the centre of the town. The facilities were well kept and clean, with staff being friendly and willing to help. Upon check out they also provide the option to leave bags with them which is very convenient if you have a later flight out, and can make the most of your day without carrying luggage around.

    This hotel is the nearest hotel to cathedral entrance (please note that open door is not the main door if you want to look on maps). Location is really really the best one. During the stay you feel that you are in historical building and you are able to feel the vibe. Room is better than on pictures. Everything is excellent. Staff is very very good.
