Hotel Los Españoles — Hotel in Providencia

What we liked about Los Espanoles:||(1) Location. In the upscale Providencia neighborhood, but on the "quiet" side of the river that bisects Santiago. It's an easy five minute walk to a subway stop, which means you can be in the heart of downtown in about 15 minutes. It's right across from the river and a lovely sculpture park that borders the river that is good for walking/jogging. You can walk to lots of restaurants, shops etc. yet on the other side of the hotel is a pretty neighborhood of single family homes.||(2) Ambiance. This is a low-rise, non-glitzy, garden-style hotel - not a big glass high rise - which felt more pleasant and homey to us.||(3) Breakfast. Our rate included breakfast, which was a large and varied buffet with hot eggs, a variety of delicious fresh fruit, cold cuts and cheese, pastries, cereal, rolls, juice, etc., way more than we could eat!||The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the mattress was firm. We had some laundry done and it was beautifully folded. Our only complaint was the air conditioner is very loud.||Overall a quiet and convenient retreat after exploring the busier sections...

Good location in Santiago just a few blocks away from Mall Costanera with a clean room and bed at a reasonable price but I had a few issues with my stay. First the internet was intermittent and went out two out of the four nights. This is an issue as a business traveler and although it was always fixed by the next afternoon, morning calls and work were challenging. Second, the hot water wasn't extremely hot and would run out if you waiting until 7:40 -8:00 am to take a shower. This seems to be when everyone was waking up and the tanks must not be big enough for the rooms. Third, there was no coffee available until 7 am not was there a hot water pot in the room or in the lobby. Most of the hotels I have traveled to in the past 5 years both in the US and abroad would have at a minimum a small coffee pot or hot water pot in the room. Many have free coffee all night and morning long. That was just not available at the Hotel Los Espanoles.

It was not a bad stay, but just not the most comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful with things especially when the...

Visited Santiago last week with my family for a 4 day tourist visit. Hotel was confortable, clean, the hospitality was great, in every sense. But a big plus was the location. It is just 3 blocks away from Costanera Center, the biggest Mall in santiago, and also host to a must attraction, the Sky Costanera, an observation platform located in the 62 and 63 floors of the skyscraper. Also 4 blocks away from the Subway Station, that connects directly to the Downtown. Last but not least, another top city attraction, a trip to the San Cristobal Hill, is made through a modern cable car, which starts at the Metropolitan Park, the fourth biggest Park in the world; and the cable car stop is also a walking distance from the hotel. Hence the excellent location, if you are travelling for...
