Hotel Plaza San Francisco

Located in the heart of Santiago, Chile, Hotel Plaza San Francisco offers a great central location with easy access to shopping streets and a wide variety of restaurants. The hotel has a vintage charm with well-maintained facilities—everything is clean and in good condition. The breakfast spread is generous and fresh, with high hygiene standards. One small downside: there’s no kettle in the room, which makes preparing tea or coffee a bit inconvenient. Still, the overall experience is excellent, especially considering the convenient location and the clean, welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for travelers who value comfort, cleanliness, and being close to city life.

Hotel Fundador

Located just steps away from Metro Line 1, Hotel Fundador is perfect for travelers who love exploring on their own. The proximity to public transit makes getting around Santiago super convenient—ideal for seasoned travelers wanting to navigate the city like a local. The only minor downside is that station announcements are in Spanish only, and there aren’t any visual displays to help identify stops. Still, with a bit of planning and a map app, it’s easy to manage. The front desk staff speaks English and is genuinely helpful, making check-in and any inquiries smooth and stress-free. Clean rooms, great location, and excellent service—all at a fantastic value. Definitely a top pick if you’re looking for an authentic, hassle-free stay in Santiago.

Mercure Santiago Centro

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The standard room was clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect—right in the heart of Santiago without being in the historic district, which means it's quiet yet still super accessible. I loved how easy it was to walk to different parts of the city—shops, restaurants, and attractions were all within a short stroll. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and welcoming service. From check-in to checkout, everything felt personal and thoughtful. This place offers great value for money and is ideal for travelers who want convenience without the noise of downtown chaos. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Santiago!

Maison Italia 1029

Staying at Maison Italia 1029 in Santiago’s trendy Italia neighborhood was a highlight of my trip. The hotel is perfectly located—just steps from chic boutiques, cozy cafes, and fantastic restaurants and bars. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the rooms are thoughtfully designed with a modern industrial vibe, featuring stylish bathrooms and private terraces that make mornings extra special. I especially loved the delicious breakfast served each day. It's rare to find such a charming, well-curated boutique hotel with such a vibrant local feel. Definitely a top pick if you're visiting Santiago.

Plaza Paris Amistar

Absolutely fantastic stay! The check-in process was smooth and quick—Andrés was waiting for us at the entrance, welcoming and patient, taking the time to explain everything thoroughly. When we had an unexpected power issue in the apartment, Andrés responded instantly with great care and efficiency, making sure we felt comfortable throughout. The location is unbeatable—right next to restaurants, grocery stores, and a pharmacy, all within walking distance. You can easily enjoy meals or grab essentials without needing to travel far. Everything you need is just steps away. This place offers incredible value and convenience, and Andrés’ attention to detail made our visit truly memorable. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Santiago—it’s a perfect home base for exploring the city.

Residencial Ahumada VIP

Located just a short walk from the Los Heroes metro station, this property is perfectly situated for exploring Santiago. Mariela was incredibly accommodating with my arrival time and always made me feel safe and welcome. Mônica, who manages the residence, is warm, attentive, and goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is taken care of. The place itself is very secure, spotlessly clean, and features spacious rooms—mine faced the main street and came fully equipped with everything I needed. There’s a convenient laundry service, plus a small kitchenette where I could brew coffee, tea, or prepare light meals. But the real bonus? The area is packed with affordable restaurants just steps away, and a supermarket is only two blocks down—perfect if you don’t feel like cooking. Mario also stood out—he was consistently helpful, offering thoughtful tips that greatly enhanced my trip around Chile. The only minor note is the wooden flooring, which can be a bit hard on the feet, but no one seemed bothered by it during my stay, and I certainly didn’t disturb anyone at night. Overall, an excellent experience with great value, attention to detail, and a welcoming vibe. I’d definitely stay here again.

Italia Suite

I arrived at 2:00 PM and even though I had mentioned in advance that I'd be checking in late, no one answered the door or offered any assistance. It was frustrating to show up and have no staff available to greet me or help with check-in. The location is decent—close to public transit and downtown—but the lack of basic hospitality really let down the experience. For the price, you’d expect a little more professionalism, especially when guests are arriving after hours. Definitely not something I’d recommend.

Ventana Sur Hostal

Tucked away on a quiet street in a charming part of Santiago, Ventana Sur Hostal is an absolute gem. Ivan and Lex, the hosts, go above and beyond—offering local tips, a welcoming glass of wine, and even a slice of homemade pizza. The pool is perfect for summer days, and the shaded terrace is ideal for relaxing with a book or chatting with fellow travelers. The common areas are warm and inviting, making it easy to connect with people from around the world. Breakfast is included every morning and is deliciously simple. We stayed in a private room by the pool—quiet, comfortable, and beautifully kept. It’s no surprise that many guests, including ourselves, are already planning a return visit. In fact, several travelers we met had come back multiple times. If every stay in South America could be this enjoyable, we’d be thrilled. This place truly feels like home.

Luna Suite Departamentos

Absolutely fantastic! The accommodation was incredibly comfortable and spotlessly clean. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the front desk staff were equally attentive and friendly. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the metro and surrounded by great restaurants, cafes, and shops. Whether you're here for business or leisure, it's such a convenient base. I couldn't have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Santiago!

Hotel Angamos

The Hotel Angamos delivered an excellent stay overall, with only one minor downside: the breakfast coffee was quite basic and served at 8 a.m. — though I was already aware of this before booking, so it wasn’t a surprise. In Chile, simple breakfasts are standard, so claims you sometimes see online that ‘Chileans consider breakfast the most important meal’ aren’t really accurate. Most companies pick up guests between 5:30 and 7 a.m., which means you’ll likely miss out on a proper morning meal if you’re not prepared. This is actually a common complaint among Brazilian travelers across nearly all Chilean hotel chains. A small improvement would go a long way — adding a fresh juice, a slice of cake, or a piece of fruit to breakfast, plus offering a basic bathroom kit (shampoo, soap) could definitely set this hotel apart from competitors. That said, the location is convenient, the staff friendly, and the value for money is strong. Definitely worth staying if you're visiting Santiago.

Apartamentos Plaza Bulnes

We stayed at this apartment with my young son and my elderly mother during winter vacation, and it was an excellent experience overall. The unit is exactly as shown in the photos—clean, well-maintained, and spacious. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom was large with a generous shower and a deep bathtub, plus strong water pressure. The kitchen is fully equipped, so we could cook our own meals easily—a real plus when traveling with family. The only minor note: my mom found the high counter with bar stools a bit awkward for eating; a regular dining table might have been more comfortable, but it’s truly just a small detail. Heating worked perfectly throughout the stay, and Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. The building is a bit old-fashioned, which actually fits the character of the neighborhood. There's a small park right behind the building with a kids' playground and benches—perfect for fresh air and relaxing. On the ground floor, there's a 24-hour laundry room where you buy tokens and wash and dry clothes anytime. The front desk, where you handle check-in and any requests, is located in the same building. Nora and Ysimar are incredibly helpful and friendly—they went out of their way to assist us with everything. While the street on the right side isn’t very picturesque, walking left leads you just a few blocks to the city center. Just be aware of some pickpockets around the pedestrian area. The biggest advantage? It’s only two blocks from the subway station and close to multiple bus lines, making travel around Santiago super convenient. I’d definitely book this apartment again without hesitation—it’s a fantastic choice for families seeking comfort, location, and value.

Hostal Vitalia

I stayed in a private room, which was decent and comfortable overall. One thing to note is the lighting—since the window faces a pizzeria and there’s no blackout curtain, it might be disruptive for light-sensitive sleepers. I was initially worried about noise, especially since free earplugs are available at reception, but surprisingly, I wasn’t bothered at all—probably due to exhaustion. The bathroom raised some concerns: I nearly slipped twice because the so-called “bathtub” has no handrails or support at all. Also, the shower water suddenly turned cold more than once during my stay, which startled me and made me lose balance. That said, the street the hostel is on is fantastic—full of great restaurants and a lively vibe. Breakfast is included, though I didn’t have it. The shared kitchen is a nice touch for travelers who want to cook their own meals. Other rooms and bathrooms are basic but clean and well-maintained. It’s definitely not luxury, but for the price, it’s a solid option if you’re looking for a budget-friendly base in Santiago.
