I liked the design of the hotel, staff was amazing, location is good and bedroom was big with comfortable bed, mini bar and microwave. Hotel need some care, for instance AC was not working appropriately, furniture was peeling off, curtain in the bathroom was broken and there was a hole in the bathroom ceiling.

Central location, safe surroundings, good sized room but aesthetically unappealing. Breakfast certainly not worth it, mediocre at best. Not horrible just wouldn't stay there again.

The location is excellent and the staff was super helpful but the hotel itself has aged and would benefit from a little TLC. Also, from our room on the first floor you could hear water running very loudly through the pipes when guests in rooms above were having a shower. Overall a good experience nevertheless and quite affordable.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Place was in the Recoleta area (more or less) and is very reasonably priced. It is clean and functional (mostly), outfitted with Ikea-like furnishings. If you are dependent on internet service, you're pretty much out of luck unless you want to camp out by the front desk. Front door was not working for 3 days, many burned out light bulbs. Once you climb into the tub shower (not easy if you have joint issues!) the water pressure is great, so that is a plus!

The location was ok, but the room was terrible. Dirty bed sheets, old furnirute and the i was not able to lock the door completely from the inside. I don’t like when a place looks very different from the pictures, it feels like a scam. In general I felt uncomfortable and not súper safe, so I decided to stay in another hotel. I ended paying 2 hotels :(

This was only the 2nd time we had booked a boutique hotel. This experience far exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly welcoming & friendly. Also probably the best continental breakfast I've had anywhere in my travels. I would go back just for the coffee alone. We miss this place already.
