Modern hotel in a great location
"This was a modern, clean and comfortable hotel very close to the beach. The centre of Iquique was walkable along the beach, and the surrounding area has lots of restaurants and bars. Underground parking was very convenient, and breakfast was also very good. The rooftop Sky Bar was great for a sunset ..."
