Gran Hotel Gervasoni

Beautiful old hotel in Concepcion. You can, as we did, walk for hours around the ridges lines loving all the laneway art work. It has lovely restaurants and bars all around and a funicular to take you down into the old town less than 300 metres away. The hotel has good views, lovely little terrace bar and healthy breakfasts. The rooms, although small, were comfortable and the beds very comfy. The two ladies on the main desk were so polite, smiling and friendly, always providing advice and happily organising Ubers for us. A nice touch was to receive a complimentary Pisco Sour in arrival.

You had to run the shower for 5 minutes to get hot water - a waste in a beautiful country that is experiencing water shortages.

Due to the unstable situation in Chile at the time of my planned trip, I had to cancel my journey to Santiago. So, I make a gift to a Chilean friend of mine who spent a few days at the hotel instead of me. She told me that her stay was really pleasant, the view from the window extremely beautiful, the hotel very nice and clean and the staff super friendly and helpful

Everything was great
