Almacruz Hotel y Centro de Convenciones
Very friendly staff, perfect location, the rooms are not new but clean and comfortable. I would say there is room for improvement for the breakfast and also the drinks menu (stuff not available). But overall I would recommend this hotel and we will come back without a hesitation!

Hotel Plaza San Francisco
Excellent location for walking tours around the city and surrounding neighborhoods. The inside of the lobby and dining area lacked natural light and could use some of it to brighten things up. Overall great experience and would recommend this hotel for a Santiago trip.

The Singular Santiago
This is a boutique style hotel and not like the major chain jumbo size hotels. The building is a bit old however they keep it well maintained. attentive staff and good services. Looking at it and compare it to similar size hotels, they are very good!
