Hotel Central — Hotel in Puerto Montt

Stayed for one night while passing through Puerto Montt as anybody exploring the south of Chile is bound to have to do (the local nickname Muerto Montt is pretty accurate). The street this hotel is on looks kind of dodgy but maybe that's just the way the city is. The staff had messed up our reservation so that was the first drawback but to their credit they quickly found us a room, though it was a twin instead of our preferred double. Now the room just looked like an average cheap hotel room but when I opened the curtain on the small window it revealed a dim view of a drain pipe and the opposite wall only about 2 metres away.

The hotel is also only a few blocks from the main bus station - which we were comfortable enough to walk to during the day. Don't think we'd stay here again (only because of the...

Llegamos a este hotel en la noche, con una lluvia torrencial, de primavera en el sur. Vimos que estaban costruyendo toda la parte de atras del hotel. Los problemas empezaron al dia siguiente, cuando a la hora de ir al baño a ducharse no habia agua caliente, ni tibia. Fui a preguntar a recepción y me dijeron que estaban con trabajos de nuevas habitaciones por lo tanto habian cortado el gas, lo cual como consecuencia, dejaba al hotel sin agua caliente, sin ningún animo de dar alguna solución. Ademas en la noche sube el olor a comida de la cocina ya que seguramente el extractor o esta muy viejo, o ya definitivamente no funciona. |Las piezas estaban limpias y el aseo era diario como puntos altos.|No recomiendo este hotel por...
