Plussat: I really liked the decor and ambiance of the hotel. The staff were all helpful and location was great. For me, having the kettle to boil water for tea in the room was an advantage. Also the room was spacious enough to include multiple comfortable chairs, which was also nice.

Plussat: It is a classy hotel with beautiful interior design. great location. quiet yet in heart of cerro alegre. the view from rooftop terrace is Amazing

Miinukset: A little bit of noise from the street and the internal stairs at night but wasn’t much of an issue.

Plussat: Good shower, friendly staff. Great location

Miinukset: Noisy seaguls

Plussat: Our room was excellent, extremely clean and hot shower. Continental breakfast was magnificent, mixed of fruits, fresh eggs, jams and hot Chilean bread. The staff ladies were so friendly. even if they don’t speak fluent English, they were able to provide you great services and help. Location is excellent near to the main attractions, art street and it was only 7min by Uber from bus terminal, overall excellent services and quality hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing, all its great

Plussat: Friendly staff, very clean, fantastic location, great breakfast, good shower and very nice bed linnen!

Plussat: The rooms were nicely decorated and the location was ideal. Breakfast was lovely.

Miinukset: Recommend providing space heaters in the rooms for cooler months.

Plussat: Style and comfort. Staff very helpful

Miinukset: Noise from nightclubs st night

Plussat: Wonderful stay in a beautiful boutique hotel. Anna the hostess was very lively and informative. Staff was great. Rooms were large and spacious and beautiful.

Plussat: Ihana maisema lahdelle, ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta, aamupala ihan ok ja riittävä, myös aamiaishuoneesta mukavat maisemat.

Plussat: A very comfortable and beautiful hotel in a nice area of Valparaiso; staff very welcoming and helpful. Everything was perfect. The possibility to use the hotel parking was a significant advantage.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Stunning location and breakfast. Wonderful staff and building. Loved the bay window with harbour views in the room we had on our first night.

Miinukset: We had asked for a room with a view, but had to move from a room with a harbour view for our second night to a room with a "street view"

Plussat: Special hotel for photography and old beauties lovers. The hotel has spectacular views from the room 7 to the bay and port.

Plussat: The room was fantastic, the view was perfect and the staff was great. They had Legos for my child and the breakfast delivered to our room was a nice change of pace. The spa was hot and ready on our arrival!!!

Plussat: Stunning location with sweeping views over the city, comfortable and beautifully furnished rooms, and enjoyable shared spaces. Close to some of the best spots for sightseeing, but the hotel is so nice you'll want to spend plenty of time there too! Lovely home-cooked breakfast is the icing on the cake.

Plussat: Lovely view of Valparaíso from the best hot tubs in town. The breakfast simply delicious! A great experiance overall, would recommend for a romantic stay.

Plussat: Interesting hotel perched high on the hill with great views. The staff were excellent and went out of their way to help with any concerns. The breakfast was good and plenty of choice.There are steep stairs in the room to access the bedroom and bathroom which could be a problem for some people. Would recommend this hotel.

Plussat: Staff and facilities, breakfast and cheese board were amazing, great location.

Miinukset: The hotel is a bit overpriced and there were issues with the water from the shower drain upstairs running down the interior wall and dripping out of the downstairs outlet in the kitchen. This issue was 'fixed' by changing rooms but only after the manager suggested that there was TOO much weight in the shower. I am 5'6'' 145lbs. They wanted me to move back to that room after it 'dried' out, but I said if I need to move due to issues with the facilities it mustn't be too big an issue to remain in the new room. Needless to say we didn't move again. Won't stay again, but would moderately recommend it for others with the noted caveat above.

Plussat: The owners of this hostel are a French couple who speak English, Spanish, and French. They were very sweet and kind to us. We arrived late in the evening after being robbed. The owner helped us put a plastic covering over the broken window of our rental car. He was very kind and accommodating despite the fact that we did not communicate our late arrival time. The hostel was clean, big, and very cool inside. The rooms were nice and the location was pretty central, but also quiet and safe.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great breakfast. Great city view. Nice hot shower (with hand-held shower head!). Cozy. We walked from the bus terminal and enjoyed the colorful art on our way despite the hill. The map around Valparaiso given and explained to us at check in was super helpful as well.

Miinukset: Laundry service took a little longer than expected (we should’ve checked when and how to collect our laundries beforehand).

Plussat: - very kind and helpful family (city map and recommendations) - nice and comfortable terrace with great view - large room - good breakfast - new and well equipped accomandation

Plussat: Car stood safe in the (very small) garage Nice hosts Quiet hostel during nighttime Nice view from the room

Miinukset: The room got ice cold during the night. The hosts gave us an electric heater, this didn't help a lot

Plussat: Clean and comfortable accommodation. Main reason to recommend is the owner who gave us loads of excellent advice on where to go and what to see in Valparaiso. The showers were clean, warm and had a decent flow rate. There was a decent kitchen free to use and a really nice balcony with a nice view in the mornings. The front gate and door felt really secure which was great. The owner came out to great us and helped us into our taxi when we said goodbye. Would definitely recommend this hostel to others.

Miinukset: The breakfast was a little basic but we were offered as much tea and coffee as we wanted. Not a negative for the hostel as Valparaiso is just a hilly place, but guests should note that this hostel is on a steep hill. Again, the hostel owner explained to us the bus routes and taxi system so you can easily avoid the walk. We chose to walk and it was only 10 minutes from the historic centre.

Plussat: Nice breakfast, kitchen, personell

Plussat: It's a classic european hostel, really clean and comfy.

Miinukset: Everything was good!

Plussat: Colors and view of the balcony

Plussat: Wonderful people run this place. They are super kind and helpful! It is also very clean, comfortable, and quiet. I am already going back to stay more nights at this fabulous hostal!

Plussat: Great hostel in a good location. And the hosts were kind, welcoming, and helpful with advice. Room was comfortable and clean. The hostel has a nice, easygoing warmth to it.

Miinukset: Everything was great.

Plussat: This old family home being run as a small hotel is a treasure trove of family collectibles and is laid out well, with a beautiful outside terrace. Tea, coffee and filtered water are available at any time of day or night, usually accompanied by biscuits and, if you want, fascinating conversation. Both Carolina and Doris, the sisters who run the hotel, are well versed in Chilean history, politics, the local area and have lived in many places in Chile, so have a good knowledge of the country’s geography too. We followed their recommendations for our two day stay and feel we made the most of our short visit. Transport around the city is easy and cheap, so the location away from the main hotel and restaurant area is not a problem at all.

Miinukset: Very little to complain about, other than mentioning that some of the fittings show signs of age, such as the shower unit in our room, which is fitted with a very modern power shower, but the doors were coming off their sliders, the tray was slightly cracked and the powerful jets went straight over the top of the unit, soaking the room!

Plussat: The owners, Doris and Carolina, are the only staff and from the start treated us more as friends than as guests at the hotel. The hotel is on the hill above Valparaiso, but with the information provided by our host, it was made easy to find our way in and out of the area, at very reasonable costs. Where else could you expect the host to provide you with a guided tour of the easy access from the town? The whole experience was enchanting!

Plussat: Relaxing, nice area, great host.

Miinukset: The bed mattress was too soft.

Plussat: This is basically a museum. Run by 2 sisters whose grand granddad build the house in 1919. Since then it was the family house and nothing has changed. You are in all the old stuff. Great breakfast on a Terrasse with a view over the city private parking (but a bit a challenge to get into the garage) Sisters who run it are perfect hosts Price Value is nice

Miinukset: The place has this old smell Bathroom was across the floor Beds are kind of old

Plussat: Very warm attention. Perfect breakfast.

Miinukset: Slow wifi

Plussat: This was the BEST hotel we stayed in, during our 3 weeks journey. And this was solely due to the 2 sisters who made you feel at home instantly. Whenever you come in, they offer coffee and tea, make pancakes, treat you like a part of the family! The room was great, filled with antiques and curiosities. We slept like angels and were spolt from the first to the last second

Miinukset: I personally did not mind, but the house is old, and as such has also an old bathroom. It's also steep uphill, so maybe not to be recommended for people with walking difficulties.

Plussat: The two sisters who own the property are so gracious and helpful. Beautiful view of Valparaiso and ocean. Loved to see the twinkling lights of the city below at night. Nice to see how people live in this city

Miinukset: I would never drive here

Plussat: The owners are delightful people. They are very friendly and helpful. The exterior terrace has a very nice view of the city and harbor.

Plussat: Breakfast was amazing and delicious. Doris and Catarina are amazing people. A warm welcome and cups of coffee when required. They went beyond their call of duty and Catarina took me down to get the right tour and then when I was taking the bus to Santiago. Their consideration for me not speaking Spanish was making me feel at ease. They have a wonderful business here and deserve the highest accolades. Thank you Doris and Catarina.

Miinukset: The only fault was the bed. The mattress was uncomfortable.

Plussat: We couldn't have picked a better hotel in Valparaiso. Our host Doris was lovely and very helpful in informing us about the highlights of the town. Breakfast was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay at the Grand House.

Plussat: Very nice interior. Not a far walk to the touristic centre.

Miinukset: /

Plussat: friendly receptionists interesting and confortable place

Miinukset: bathroom smell

Plussat: Great,large rooms that were very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff that helped with transport and recommendations.

Miinukset: It’s a little far away from the main area of Valparaíso but it’s near the bus station and heaps of transport to get you there.

Plussat: The rooms were very spacious for a hostel. The common spaces were really comfortable and had a great aesthetic, I spent most of my time on the beautiful rooftop or in the living area. The staff were really friendly too!

Plussat: Location and facilities were excellent, and the onsite restaurant was very convenient. Staff were helpful and the room was comfortable.

Plussat: The restaurant is very nice, friendly staff, we could leave the luggage at the the front desk at our arrival and enjoy the lunch on the terrace. It was so good that we went back for dinner as well. Prices are ok if stay at the hostel, you get 15% discount on cash payment or 10% on credit card payment. The position is perfect if you go to Valparaiso with the bus, it's just 3minutes away walking.

Plussat: The hostel was conveniently located to the bus station. The breakfast was awesome, finally more than just bread and cornflakes. There was fruit salad, scrambled eggs with veggies too! The bed was super comfortable and the hostel was nice and clean. The staff were all exceptionally helpful

Miinukset: Kitchen areas need to be cleaned, and stocked with new/more supplies as the pots / pans are destroyed and dirty and there's not enough cutlery etc.It would be great to have a complimentary tea and coffee area like most hostels. Towels would be great, and adaptors for the power outlets. Located away from the downtown area (half an hour walk)

Plussat: I almost never stay at hostels but gave it a try, and did not regret, from now they changed my ideas of what hostels are. It was super stay! Breakfast was super tasty. Stuff is extremely helpful and welcoming 24 hours, day and night. Room was tidy clean, beds were comfortable. This was the most comfortable, safe and friendly space in the whole are so far. If I ever go back to Valparaiso I will not risk with other hotels.

Miinukset: Fan in the bathroom is very noisy, and it turns on every time the lights are turned on, so you can not escape from this noise. I would divide fan and lights and make 2 separate switchers for them.

Plussat: The view was amazing!!

Miinukset: I liked everything

Plussat: Location,design of the room,view on the harbour.the staff is very helpfull,definitely should recommend this hotel to others

Miinukset: Bathroom a little small,and cleaning could be done a littke better

Plussat: During our stay the management and staff could not have been more helpful. They cared for us so well at a difficult time and we’re always concerned to ensure our safety and security. The accommodation was excellent especially the rooms with a sea view which was breathtaking! All the staff were so friendly.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Could not complain about this hotel at all! Location was great, room with sea view was amazing, staff were lovely and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this hotel. I hope to visit again one day!

Miinukset: No complaints.

Plussat: Great location with very friendly helpful staff on reception. Carried our heavy luggage to top floor room and arranged our airport pick up. Great view of Valpareso from top floor room

Miinukset: Breakfast very average. No bar no lift Interior of Property in need of a coat of paint and a deep clean.

Plussat: Very nice room with a great view (on the top floor). Staff also very friendly and helpful!

Miinukset: The balcony is so narrow that you can actually only stand. Or sit on the floor.

Plussat: The room had a good size and a beautiful view to the ocean, we also had a private balcony to enjoy the sun. Location was really good as the area was quiet and pretty, with different restaurants 5 min by walk. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was fresh and delicious.

Miinukset: The bathroom wasnt really private, but didn't bother us. Dnt take the rooms in the first floor as dsnt feel so private, but they still good for a night.

Plussat: Great Views and the staff were very accommodating

Miinukset: Cleanliness needs some work!

Plussat: Very friendly, perfect view, nice food. A excellent small Hotel.

Plussat: Contemporary industrial style hotel, excellent views over Valparaíso. Excellent breakfast, helpful, friendly young team. Great bars nearby.

Plussat: Breakfast was tasty and healthy; the room was clean and with a nice view. The shower was amazing.

Miinukset: It was a little bit chilly, but ok after a while.

Plussat: The design of the hotel is very impressive, comfortable bed & spotless. Staff very helpful & location is centre of old town,

Miinukset: Partying took place outside our room on public steps for the 2 nights we were there & kept us awake till after 4am (even with ear plugs) (dancing, shouting, banging drums etc). Whilst I accept that this is outside of hotel's control (they did call the police on few occasions apparently), the hotel should either house guests in opposite side of hotel, provide ear plugs & not sell rooms till protests end. I did explain this to the receptionist & felt we should have been offered a reduction in the room rate. The breakfast offers should be reviewed as it's basic for room rate charged.

Plussat: Great very modern hotel with concrete walls and some original brickwork. Good sized room. Nice fresh breakfast with great views from dining area. Wonderful area with lots of cafes, bars, restaurants very close. Good vibe and great interior design.

Miinukset: Room was very cold, but asked to be moved and a heater was provided. We had workmen outside our window from 9 till 6 both days, which meant no privacy, or keeping the blinds down and thus a dark room. Be prepared for stairs as there are no lifts. We were 2 floors down from street level.

Plussat: The location was fabulous although a little difficult to reach since there isn't car access. The transfer the hotel set up to/from the airport was fantastic and Christian helped with the luggage up the stairs to the property. The rooftop restaurant was exceptional and the food fantastic. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. Very convenient at the top of the Reina Victoria funicular. Thank you for an awesome stay!

Miinukset: Our rooms were on the lowest level. There was a slight smell of fuel oil (maybe?). The stairs to the restaurant was a good workout!

Plussat: Hotel Fauna is a very nice boutique hotel in the heart of tourist area of Valparaíso. It has very attentive staff who speak and write with excellent English. It has an excellent breakfast and restaurant which has an amazing view.

Miinukset: Older travellers may be concerned by lack of an elevator but it was not a concern for us.

Miinukset: Dont pick up 12 room

Plussat: View and location unbeatable. Staff helpful and friendly. Restaurant excellent. Hotel a very neat and unusual design.

Miinukset: Pathetic breakfast. On our second day we decided to skip it altogether and paid to have breakfast at a cafe.

Plussat: Staff were welcoming and helpful. The lobby was welcoming and comfortable. A keurig style espresso machine downstairs made mornings more special. If you need a beverage or a pick-me-up, there's a cooler downstairs where you can buy sodas, energy drinks, aloe juice, and still water.

Miinukset: Conversations, footsteps, other people's TVs, cell phones ringing... all of it entered our room as though our bed were in the center of the lobby with zero walls around us. On Saturday morning at 4:30, someone walked back and forth across our ceiling eleven times in five minutes, then down the stars and back and forth across the lobby. They continued up and down the stairs and across our ceiling till well after 7:30. Every footstep echoed in our room and kept us wide awake. Sleep was not possible with the level of noise that carried into our room. Additionally, one entire wall of our room is floor-to-ceiling windows that look out on the center courtyard and the interior hallways opposite our room. Ordinarily, this would be spectacular... except that the curtains that were meant to provide us privacy weren't big enough and only covered a portion of these enormous windows. With the curtains fully stretched as far as they would go, it was still possible for someone to stand to one side and have a full and unobstructed view of us in our room. Privacy was not possible unless the lights were off. This was rather frustrating.

Plussat: Location, wood fired heater in reception.

Miinukset: The shower leaked through the floor boards and wet all of our clothes and electrical items. The staff moved us to another room but didn't follow up with us the next day.

Plussat: Very nice old building with wooden interior. The room was quiet and clean. It had all that we needed. Hosts were very nice and helpful. The location is very good - it is next to the two of the main passages - Fisher and Apolo.

Plussat: All you need is a clean room with a comfortable bed and good hot water (it was hot but took a long time to come through) - Hotel Da Vinci ticked all these boxes. Staff were very friendly & helpful, even with the language differences.

Miinukset: I chose the single room over two storeys, and the headroom was not good for a tall person like me. This was my choice, not a criticism of the hotel. In hindsight I should have paid more for a room with full headroom.

Plussat: The owner was really helpful and let us check in early. He showed us where to go and where not to go. Even helped organise a rental car with a local company when none of the websites would allow us to book one online. The location was great because its situated not far from everything. It's a easy walk to the main bars, close to banks and there are restaurants just up the hill on the same street. You have to get use to the plumbing in the showers as you have to run the water for quite a while before it gets hot but there are signs in the bathroom telling you what to do. The only issue was the curtains on the first floor bedroom did not fully cover the whole of the window facing the outside. However, we enjoyed it so much that we returned the following week on the way back to Santiago and got a room on the ground floor which had one of the most comfortable beds we had slept in during our trip.

Plussat: Staff was outstanding. Location right in the heart of the arts scene. Wonderful food close by. Real find.

Miinukset: Inside room was musty and so they moved us to a better one.

Plussat: Mukavalla paikalla ja rakennus oli uniikki ja viihtyisä.

Miinukset: Huoneesta ei ole ikkunaa ulos.

Plussat: I loved the coffee and the kindness of the owner and his staff. It was 4 min walk from my work, very convenient location.

Miinukset: The first room I had was a bit too small. They moved me to a larger room.

Plussat: Location was great.

Miinukset: No AC

Plussat: Spa, pool

Miinukset: Flyes coming when you open the windows

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: All great

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Room was small

Plussat: Breakfast, comfy beds with plug and light, spacious bathrooms, clean kitchen with emphasis on recycling

Miinukset: It was a bit cold for the terrace so a more comfortable indoor area would have been nice

Plussat: Large and clean rooms and bathrooms. Good connectivity. Good for people who do not want to climb the hills with large backpacks in order to search for the hostel, since the hostel is situated in a flat area. Many supermarkets nearby. Good supermarkets nearby.

Miinukset: If you are planning to explore the hills for the best graffiti and murals you need to walk.

Plussat: Nice hostel! And very clean. Love the GREEN VIBE. Sustainability is hip.

Plussat: Comfortable light and warm room. Good wifi. Friendly staff. Quiet and relaxed.

Miinukset: 5-10 min walk from main tourist area.

Plussat: the eco idea..

Miinukset: The unhelpful owners. It is not the staff responsible for this negative comment (which are mainly workaway and do not know everything) but surely the owners, preferring ignoring us about our problem than instead trying to find a solution. As they have a good rating they surely don't care about customers' trouble and prefer smoke pot on the terrace. The services announced in the description of the hostel are wrong...

Plussat: Great staff and very helpful! Amazing location right next to all the sights in Santiago to check out. All beds have there own power socket and lamp + a locker that can fit your luggage.

Miinukset: The common room downstairs is a bit small and can get crowded at breakfast. There is an extra TV room upstairs to relax.

Plussat: Location is easy to walk to the cerros

Miinukset: the bed sheets didn’t seem clean and I only saw them get changed once (on other beds)

Plussat: Nice staff, great location. Clean and tidy other than the damp smell.

Miinukset: There was a damp smell in the room and on the ground floor. The air had the feeling of damp which really made you feel dirty. No idea where it was coming from but wasn't nice. Had to spray lots of sprays to sleep in the room.

Plussat: The staff was extremely helpful and the terrace breathtaking. A perfect stay

Miinukset: Hot water sometimes difficult, but really not a big deal

Plussat: Very clean, spacious and especially the rooftop terrace is amazing.

Miinukset: Payment by cash only.

Plussat: Stuffs are very friendly and helpful

Miinukset: At Saturday night, it was around 1:30am and couple of people were laughing very loud and looks liked they used something because it wasn’t normal. I am just surprised that why they stuff didn’t warn them about other people sleeping!

Plussat: Nice place in town.

Miinukset: Cold, noisy, one of the staff-members, the one that was there the most, was very unwilling to communicate. He behaved as if we were air to him. One method was to wear earphones and look down or look away. When I accidentally smashed a glass right next to him, he did didn’t react. He was young and probably shy and immature m.

Plussat: Well located, comfortable bed, Nice people at the reception most of the time...

Miinukset: Shared toilets should be cleaned often

Plussat: Great place to stay in Valparaiso, great location, great accommodation, great atmosphere. Hosts are great, extremely helpful, polite and really great conversation partners ;) If you are looking for great atmosphere and you want to feel like at home the place is for you ;) Many thanks to Christian and Alex for making our stay a memorable experience ;)

Plussat: Nice hosts and very nice rooftop.

Miinukset: The room in the back end of the ground flour was very noisy (was like your had the collective shower inside and neighbour your room) and very cold.

Plussat: Great location surrounded by street art and near a great empanada place. Staff really friendly, rooms spacious and hot showers. Kitchen was well equipped, could be a little cleaner but was fine cook in. Breakfast included was good.

Plussat: Staff is really nice. Hostel is not very big, but they have everything you might want/need and are very forthcoming when asked for tips/information regarding Valparaíso.

Miinukset: The room we were in (double/twin room next to the 'living area', the bath room and across from the patio) was a bit grimy and had a weird smell. Only window it had was in the ceiling, so that might explain the smell. Beds were clean though!

Plussat: Nice introduction to Valpo by the host. Really friendly staff.

Miinukset: We had a really smelly room and no window to get in fresh air.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: There should be more than just one bathroom in whole hostel

Plussat: I love this hostel. The ambient and atmosphere are just amazing there. Its location is perfect, close to the town center, yet placed so the noise and music of various bars won't disturb you if you need to rest after a hike or tour. People are friendly there, the shared spaces are kept clean and nice, good music always on. Rooms provide pleasant cool down during a hot day, but they don't get too cold during the night. Beds are comfy. Breakfasts are good. I would definitely recommend this hostel to any traveler visiting the Atacama desert.

Plussat: very nice and helpful staff, good location

Plussat: Big lockers in the room and comfortable beds. Extra blankets because it's cold at night. big bathroom and hot water. Very good location and close to great food places. It's a good price for what you get. Great breakfast options too.

Miinukset: Incredibly loud. you can hear the bars and noise from the street from the rooms and it's almost impossible to sleep. Some of the staff members don't really show interest in you being there. However, that's not that important.

Plussat: Good
