Valparaíso, Chile

Rooms are small and tight, but lofts offer more space. The rooftop hot tub, restaurant with local Chilean cuisine, and helpful staff make it worth it. Neighborhood is steep and gritty despite being in a safer area.

Good location near the sea, transit, and shops. Breakfast buffet has many options. Rooms have issues with carpet smell, weak AC, and broken safes, though staff speak English and stay helpful.

Rooms are spacious but maintenance issues plague the hotel: loose floors, cracked walls, dirty carpets, and broken showers appear regularly. Staff are friendly and the port location works well, but expect street noise and check your bill closely since guests report overcharging. Breakfast and prices are decent when things work.
