Santiago Bed & Breakfast

Plussat: Location was superb, close to metro stations, cafes, banks. Safe, quiet residential street with main La Providencia only minutes away. All staff were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about area and Santiago. Stayed here on 3 different occasions and would definitely recommend.

Plussat: As per previous reviews, it is a small, friendly hotel in the best location of Providencia. Spotlessly clean, excellent beds and decor, and staff who are clearly trained for excellent service. My preferred hotel in the area these days, and always lower rates than I expect. Overall, a really good hotel.

Miinukset: Some rooms are quieter than others in daytime, so if it is a day off, request these. But all the rooms are quiet at night.

Plussat: Location is perfect. Quiet street but close to Metro station. Style and decor nice. Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. I used this comfortable lodging as a base during my 6 weeks traveling in Chile/Argentina. Returning to Santiago on 3 separate occasions this Boutique B&B felt like home.

Plussat: helpful staff.

Miinukset: I prebooked airport transfer thru the hotel but no-one showed up at the airport. Rang the hotel to find out that the taxi driver for some unknown reason decided not to show up!. No explanation or excuse given. We took Transfer VIP from SCL and it was cheaper than the pre-booked vehicle. Unlike other reviews, i have to disagree that breakfast was plentiful. It was minimalist at best. They ran out of bread and we had to wait for 30 mins for new bread to be brought in, on a week end when most shops were closed in the neighborhood (Providencia). Hot water urn was full of sale and had not been cleaned. I advised the catering staff but they kept using it, perhaps did not understand my concern with the health and safety aspect due to language barrier. Only one person was handling all the catering as well as clean-up. Things were running slow and as a result guest were left waiting for food to be restocked. We were here at end of June 2019 and it was 0-12 deg C,. At night, the bedroom and the common lounge room are freezing cold. The reverse cycle air conditioner was set at 30 deg but still, it was not capable to deliver enough heat to raise the temperature in the room. The blankets provided in the room in winter is only suitable for a cool summer night, not for winter condition (0 deg c). You need to ask for extra blankets as there are no additional ones in the bedrooms.

Plussat: Very friendly helpful staff, great location in a nice neighbourhood but also short walk to metro for sightseeing. Plentiful breakfast, comfy bed and powerful hot shower. All you could ask for really!!

Miinukset: Nothing. Loved it.

Plussat: The staff here are amazing ! They go above and beyond to provide an exceptional experience .

Miinukset: Some of the rooms were a little small.

Plussat: I booked this trip for my parents and they said everything in the hotel was great, including the staff, the service, the room, the breakfast and the hotel location. They had a great experience.

Plussat: Breakfast was ok, staff very friendly and helpful. I want to specifically mention the nice lady (sorry, don't know the name) who served the breakfast. We found it very well suited for our needs, thus we came back for a 2nd and even 3rd stay. Hostal is located in a quiet side street.

Miinukset: Heating in the rooms is not effective and the windows are not well insulated - so, if you come in winter, it might be not so comfortable (like most of the stays we found in Chile...).

Plussat: Staff was great. Very good breakfast. Cute décor. Close to everything.

Miinukset: When our neighbors took a shower at 5am, it sounded like we were in the bathroom with them, wall are very thin. The towels were old and thin and full of holes. Also, as we checked out they charged us almost 9usd each for 3 small bottles of water! And without posting a note with prices or even that they were not free. Not a high note to leave the hotel on.

Plussat: Everything! A good place to be to end my long trip in South America! Staff, room, breakfast, location all good!

Plussat: The place is very friendly and clean, and you felt the hospitality immediately on arrival.

Miinukset: I have nothing bad to say about the place.

Plussat: location. the owner was friendly

Miinukset: everything else.

Plussat: good location, attentive staff

Miinukset: i was disappointed in the breakfast

Plussat: Bed and Breakfast Manque was in a good location close to the Manquehue Shopping Centre and business locations in Las Condes. The accommodation was in a quiet location away from busy roads.

Miinukset: The breakfast was very simple. It consisted of two slices of bread, jam, a small box of juice and a packet of water crackers and coffee.

Plussat: Great staff!

Plussat: The location was near from the tube station. It was also near from the place I had to attend a meeting at.

Miinukset: The toilet wasn't very clean and it was uncomfortable. The room I booked was not the same room I stayed in, which was much smaller

Plussat: Outstanding value in an expensive area. Amazingly quiet despite proximity to heavy traffic. Swimming pool still open for use on 26 March. Courteous, available staff 24/7 and very well maintained premises. Internet access excellent. Credit cards accepted. A misunderstanding about applicable taxes was quickly resolved in our favor. An excellent, well located choice for the budget traveler.

Miinukset: Following should all be read in context of the unusually low price and excellent value: Our double room (#5) and its bathroom were minimal size. Breakfast is supplied but is very basic. Off street parking is supplied but is not gated and accessible to passersby. They need to clarify conditions for exemption from 19% tax in their listing to avoid confusion on arrival.

Plussat: Marilu is the best hostess, knowledgeable about Santiago, and caries about her visitors. The location in Providencia is in a quiet neighborhood but with a 5 min walk to subway and a 20 min walk along the river to Bella Vista area. Not a fancy place but felt like home!

Plussat: 1. The hostess Marilu is very friendly and helpful. She gave us a lot of tips on where to visit in Santiago and beyond. She also made us delicious breakfast. 2. Location: peaceful and quiet yet a few minutes walk to the metro and bus stops. There is also a shop at the petrol station if you need to buy water and nibbles. 3. Cleanliness: the place was spotless. I cannot emphasise more on this. 4. Fast WiFi 5. Room was very spacious.

Miinukset: None: everything was top!

Plussat: Good location. Big variety of breakfast. Helpful host

Plussat: Marilu was very friendly and accommodating. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and well furnished. The breakfast was good and well balanced. The location was excellent. I was able to get my laundry washed in her washing machine at no extra charge. Marilu booked my transportation to the airport at no charge. I was able to use all the kitchen facilities at no extra charge. This included the stove, the microwave, the refrigerator, the sink and the dishes and utensils. I was able to use the Internet without any problems.

Miinukset: A single straightbacked chair in the bedroom would have improved the furnishings.

Plussat: Marilu showed me a map and gave me excellent tips for what to do in a short space of time in Santiago. The hostel is in an excellent location with an excellent vegetarian restaurant close by. She arranged my return taxi to the bus station at night and kept my bags safe and secure all day. The breakfast was also good. It was nice to sit with the other guests. My room was large which was a bonus. Travelling alone you often get pokey rooms in hostels, but this was a large room. The hostel is basic but great.

Plussat: Location,. Breakfast, quiet at night .

Miinukset: No bottled water provided at a bed and breakfast ! ! ! Tiresome control from owner. Perhaps she had bad experience with previous guests...

Plussat: Marilu offered breakfast with many delicious options (cold cuts, cereals and toppings). As I prefer whole grain bread she made extra efforts to serve healthier varieties. Marilu helped me to find my way around the city on my first trip to Chile. She agreed to have some extra weight luggage wait for me when I return on my flight back to Canada.

Miinukset: Marylu s was a good package for me. Some travellers might wish for a touch of more privacy.

Plussat: Amazing place. So comfortable and clean, and the breakfast just great. The personal is a very nice and helpful.

Plussat: very friendly and helpfull hostess spacious rooms with good beds cozy atmosphere good breakfast close to city center and metro

Plussat: The B & B was excellently situated in a quiet, clean, safe location within walking distance of the city, and in area where there were many small restaurants and bars. Our host, Alvaro, was very helpful.

Miinukset: The breakfast room was very cramped, and would have been impossible to manage if the courtyard wasn’t available due to wet weather. Our room opened on to the courtyard and was very noisy until late in the evening.

Plussat: We booked a family room for three people. The size was large, with space for walking, storing suitcases, and a good size bathroom. The breakfast included in the price was good. Location of Alma B&B is perfect, easy to walk downtown, and with good options for visiting, eating, enjoying close by.

Plussat: Staff couldn’t do enough to help. Great for base. Bed lovely and comfortable

Plussat: Owner very helpful with tips and recommendations for the city. Took us to the airport the last day, for the official taxi price... Hot water was a plus. Somehing both positive and negative is the shared spaces: the owner family lives there and in one way it’s was super that our kid could hang out in the living room with their son and play. But at the same time it’s a odd feeling going through their private kitchen to get to the room the fastest way via the reception.

Miinukset: Breakfast was suppose to be at 8 am every morning and 2 out of 3 mornings no one was around when we came. We ended up eating around 8.30. This wouldn’t have been a huge deal wouldn’t it have been for us having a one-year-old – super hungry at that time. The breakfast itself was not satisfying. Mostly sweet things. We missed healthy options, like eggs. Our room was much, much smaller than we expected. Lastly, we forgot and engagement ring, hanging on a hook in the bathroom and realized this only an hour or two after leaving. We both know the ring was hanging there. We wrote the owner making him aware about this, but he said it wasn’t there. :/

Plussat: Good! Was at a salloon at the 1st floor of the principal building, the same my room was in it.

Plussat: Neighbourhood was quiet and close to park Breakfast was amazing and the staff very helpful Courtyard was a bonus place to relax

Plussat: Very nice, warm, "feels like home" stay in Santiago. Charming neighborhood full of little restaurants and interesting shops. Alvaro and family (and the staff) are great, helpfull, really we can only recommend the Alma B&B.

Plussat: Close to metro station and nice neighborhood

Miinukset: The b&b is the owner’s apartment and he lives there with his family. We arrived around 23.15/30 and he told us there was a problem with the room We booked, so he gave us the only room left with a private bathroom and a bed “french size”. He apologized with water and 7up. When We arrived in the room the bed was smaller than a French size, too small for two people. I checked and the room he gave us is sold for single room. Moreover, when I booked I wrote that it was the last day of our honeymoon...i think the rate is too much high. I don’t raccomend it!

Plussat: A wonderful location and nice setting to stay and relax. Easy to find location. The host also offered a taxi service to the international airport.

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike for the price we paid.

Plussat: Good value for money. Good location. The owners were very helpful

Miinukset: Our booking got mixed up and we ended up with an bunk bed instead of a double bed which wasn’t ideal.
