San Francisco Hotel Monumento

The Monumento Hotel is ideally located in Santiago, within the old city, a stone throw away from the main Plaza, and the shopping and restaurants'area. Yet, you can reach it by car, and park on the spot, free of charge. The staff is extra helpful, and we have heard them speak English and French fluently. The setting is incredible. in a XVI century monastery, yet, with fully modern rooms, and modern conveniencies, like WiFi, TV, AC, all working at international standards, 100% of the time. There is no doubt we´ll stay there again when we come back to Santiago, as we were short of time to visit some of the monuments, and will recommend it to friends.

We were not attracted by the restaurant "conventual" menu, and found the bar/cafeteria unattractive. We ended up having all our meals, including breakfasts, and drinks in town. It is a pity as the hotel has ample grounds and could certainly have a very nice open air terrace bar with a local menu...
