    Fantastic hotel, in the heart of Vina del Mar. Breakfast was very good. The staff were helpful and friendly. They accomodated me with everything.

    too large room to keep warm with the heating system in place during nights low temperatures outside. Suggested deeper cleaning in the bathroom area. TO STRONGLY ENFORCE ON GESTS THE NONSMOKING RULES OF THE HOTEL.

    great location, good and sufficient breakfast. The Staff was great, very profesional and always ready to attend to details or special requests.

    Breakfast -even for COVID restrictions- was a bit lacking. Room services (TV, AC) were pretty old, and half functional.

    Amazing View, pretty central location. Staff accommodated requests without issues.

    Noise from outside: Seagulls camped outside window early morning wake up din. Single glazed windows, not soundproofing curtains. Room cleaning: we didn't realise (we should have been advised) we had to put the little card left on the table into the card slot outside for the room to be cleaned. Came back to the room how we left it. Breakfast buffet: you get a time slot, there are items wrapped in cling film with no indication as to what they are, could have opened them all to find out what they are but that would be ridiculous. No toast option.

    As expected public services were closed due to Covid, this is not at fault to the hotel, but it would have been nice to have access to these spaces in some limited or pre-booked way.

    Included breakfast was nothing special. Simple and plain stuff, just to have the job done, but nothing particular to make you be glad you had it. You are better considering not paying for breakfast and eating outside.

    I was there during summer but the swimming pool was in maintenance. So, I paid for a service which was not operating. The wifi service was just ok. I am a scientist and I need to deal with a lot of zoom meetings. I needed to bring my laptop among my floor (11th), the restaurant floor (4th), and the lobby (1st) looking for the "best" signal. Not happy with that. The hotel price is comparable with any 4-star hotel in Europe or America or Asia (I have been in Greece, Helsinki, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai...), so that you expect to have high quality services (swimming pool + internet). The restaurant service was very limited, no lunch no dinner. By last, there was a study area in the 1st floor. I was there but the desk was broken and the light was poor.

    The breakfast was kind of good. I like it. People were very friendly all the time. The hotel is well located.
