Santiago hotels near Gabriela Mistral Cultural Center

Pros: Location

Cons: Air conditioner could have been a bit quieter on maximum

Pros: The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. They all speak very good Engish and so so nice. The room was AMAZING, clean, comfortable, robes and slippers, bottled water, coffee, etc. The area surrounding the hotel is wonderful, safe, with many great restaurants and shops.

Pros: Rooms were beautiful and very clean. The hotel is in a great area close to all amenities and many of the attractions. Roof top pool is great at the end of a long hot day. The breakfast was tasty and a good assortment.

Cons: The rooms were on the small side.

Pros: A unbelivible place to have a break from the bussy city... Diego and the rest of the staff are so friendly and helpful! Thank you so mutch for made our stay so comfortable and beautiful!

Pros: First, I really enjoyed staying at the Hotel Cumbres Lastarria. It is well located in a very trendy neighborhood with lots of good restaurants and wine bars. The view of the Andes Cordillera is breathtaking from the rooftop. The room is spacious and comfortable and really clean. The bathroom design is modern and pampering.

Cons: Some minuses: The restaurant was not really good as well as the breakfast which was a bit disappointing. There wasn't enough vegetables for example. This is also true that the hotel did not respond to my mails I sent regarding my future stay. Still I really enjoyed my stay. Is it a 5 star hotel, maybe not but it is certainly a boutique hotel that I can recommend.

Pros: Great downtown location with easy walk to sites and metro. Modern, comfortable hotel with beautiful pool on the 8th floor overlooking the city. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Welcome pisco sour provided on arrival that was very refreshing after a long morning traveling. Only stayed one night and wish we had stayed longer.

Cons: I found no fault in anything. It was a perfect stay.

Pros: Room was nice. Bed was very comfortable. Good location.

Cons: Breakfast was shocking for a 5 star hotel. I asked for an omelette at 10.10 and I was told that it was not possible as lunch was already being prepared. N.B. Breakfast ends at 10.30. The scrambled eggs on offer were ice cold. The choice on offer was very poor. Breakfast at this hotel isn’t up to scratch.

Pros: Great location

Cons: Reception staff needs to be friendlier. It felt cold checking in. Especially the men. There was one lady with an accent that was very nice when I was checking out.

Pros: Really great breakfast. Helpful staff with high level of English - in some cases they did more than what was expected. Amazing coctails!!!

Cons: -

Pros: See above

Pros: The hotel is perfect and great value. It has comfy beds, big rooms and feels lux. Would stay again!

Cons: There wasn't 2x normal coffee pods for the machine (1x was decafinated) and no milk or creamer for tea/coffee.

Pros: The staff were friendly and were largely fluent in English. The location was great, only a 5-10 minute walk to restaurants and parks. The wifi was strong throughout the hotel, the beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The rooftop bar was very nice but wasn't open on the weekend which was a disappointment. Really good quality for the price.

Cons: The pool is in the basement which was a mistake on our end, some old/incorrect pictures showed it as a rooftop pool which made spending a day at the pool impossible. Water in the room is outrageously expensive, $10/bottle! The shower/tub combo was a bit uncomfortable - I'm very average size and it was too narrow to stand shoulder width. The room was starting to show some signs of age but still a very good value.

Pros: Had a wonderful stay - staff, food and facilities were great. We were looked after very well indeed. Can recommend highly.

Cons: All good

Pros: HIGH CLASS CLASSIC 5 STAR HOTEL IN THE CENTRE OF SANTIAGO AT REASONABLE PRICE.

Cons: LOW CEILINGS BECAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES

Pros: Staff very friendly and helpful food was excellent room was comfortable

Cons: I would have liked a tea kettle in the room

Pros: location with nice restaurant.

Cons: very accomodating with friendly staff

Pros: The hotel is really nice and confortable with great breakfast and the staff is really helpful

Cons: Due to the recent events in Santiago, the area is very dirty and I felt unsafe.

Pros: Helpful staff.

Cons: Location not great. Noisy aircon. Windows need a clean on the outside.

Pros: Very friendly staff, we were give a free early check in at around noon and we paid a relatively small sum for late check out

Cons: We stayed 4 nights and only the first day we were given 2 small bottles of water (about 200ml each) with note that we have to pay if we need more water. Same thing with coffee and tea in the room: two complimentary tea bags and two complimentary coffee pods. Not a big problem because there is coffee and tea in the bar but the top class hotel should not be stingy with such a small stuff

Pros: This place has the ambience and style of many hotels that are way more expensive.

Pros: Breakfast venue in garden beside pool very nice.

Cons: No tissues in room. Doonas too heavy. No powerooint near bedroom mirror for someone to dry hair while other person using bathroom. TERRIBLE seafood oizza in lobby restaurant.

Pros: Service was excellent. The breakfast wait staff, for me, was the best part of staying at Sheraton. Juan Pablo, Magaly and Valerie always had a welcoming smile to start your day right. They deserve a raise and a promotion. It felt like leaving family when I said goodbye to them. The technicians who serviced my bathroom were also very helpful. The attentiveness of the staff to any issue raised and their eagerness ensure that your issue is resolved is also laudable. On the last day I had breakfast I was given a farewell slice of cake which was a total surprise. It was a very thoughtful send-off which I appreciate.

Cons: I had problems connecting to the wifi and had to be transferred to another room. In the other room, the wifi connection was good but there was an awful smell from the drain of my bathroom that took two service personnel to clean. I think Sheraton would do well to make checking the drain in the toilets mandatory. It would also be nice to have more variety at breakfast.

Pros: Staffs are friendly and willing to help.

Cons: The checking in queue with more than 5 persons in a queue was bit too long

Pros: Great hotel. Good food, terrific gym, great public space. The staff was outstanding. The extra attention they paid to us was wonderful. Nothing was to much to ask. We actually spent two days at the hotel without leaving. Just enjoying the surrounding.

Cons: The pool was freezing. 90 degrees outside and the pool was so cold you could only stay in to get wet. We did enjoy watching everyone "try" to get in for their first time. The towels need to be replaced in the room.

Pros: Very professional and friendly staff. Nice accommodations and housekeeping is excellent.

Pros: Igor from Slovenia at the consierge service desk was very helpful.

Cons: It is definitely not 5 star hotel!!!.The property is aged and need renovation. The shower feetings were rusty and it was awful smell of canalization in our room, especially at night. The” executive club” have no even plane water during the day. Only few bananas abd apples were offered...The complimentary drinks were not refilled .We asked for clean glasses on Executive club reception and waited half an hour for them without result....It is not possible to pay by European payment card in the restaurant- you have to go to reception with waitor for exchange of cash with very specific rate .The cofee machine was present in our room but ... without coffee capsules.. The breakfast had very limited choice of food - there were no salmon, or salad leaves, or cheese selection ( it was soya cheese and local hard cheese only).

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff.

Cons: There was a promotion that encouraged guests to ‘be green’ and to decline housekeeping. The reward was a $US 5 gift certificate that could be applied to meals. I did this on all 4 days that I stayed but received only 2 gift certificates - there was no one around to ask - I eexpected to receive 3 -

Pros: Upgraded room was opulent with marble bathroom. Shower and tub. Bidet was great. Breakfast buffet was very good. Fresh OJ. Staff very helpful and friendly throughout hotel. Beds were very comfortable. Linens very fine quality. City View was appreciated. Pool, inside pool, and gym well cared for with beautiful facilities.

Cons: High prices in cafe/bar. Wine US$10 seems a little high for a country with cheap good wine. Food prices also high.

Pros: beautiful views of andes, great staff, easy for transport, nice executive lounge

Cons: Minor point only...in executive lounge there is an egg station - which I did not realise until 3 days later as no menus or other on table. Like I mentioned, minor point.

Cons: They charge the internet at the room and the service of the internet at the lobby it's pretty bad!

Pros: Excellent

Cons: Everybody was excellent Thank you

Pros: Nice Breakfast! Great location.

Cons: In my particular room, the bed was quite old and saggy. That was not the case with the beds in my friend’s room. The shower drain was also clogged... again, not the case in the other room.

Pros: Very nice, clean. Staff very helpful . Got there at 6:00 am, and was able to check in for a little extra fee.

Pros: Location is really great!

Cons: The staff was not very friendly - all have forgot how to smile... The fitnessroom was extremely bad.

Pros: The location is excellent. The sights are within walking distance. As we were here furing week- end it was easy to get local currency from the reception - all hotels do not offer that! Breakfast was very good, many choises. If I came back to Santiago I certainly choose this hotel again!

Pros: Everything about this hotel was up to the standard.

Cons: We stayed for 2 nights. In the first day, the breakfast was very good with a lots of choice of the fruits. However, the second day, the breakfast was not as good as the first day and there’s much less choices of the fruits.

Cons: For Breakfast the location of food items, dishes and cutlery required some time to assemble. It was difficult to get the personal to restock food and drink items that were running out.

Pros: Room sice was excelent!

Cons: We spend new years eve there and there was no service at all in the hotel for that afternoon and nigth... Not even a glass of water.

Pros: Clean hotel with wood floors on the rooms. Good selection of breakfast alternatives Big room

Cons: Hard bed and even harder pillows. A noisy AC unit that will not cool down the room in a summer month. Mold in the bathroom walls (between the tiles), inconsistent water pressure (so be aware of hot/cold surprises when showering) The room furniture was not designed for the size of the room (or it looked like) Only one small closet (similar to an individual room) for a cuádruple room (equivalent to two rooms) and no drawers or any other place where to place your stuff.

Pros: The location is perfect. The staff are very friendly. We particularly like the breakfast, which has a lot of choice and exceeded our expectations. The room we stayed in is spacious and the beds are very comfortable.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Breakfast was good, and the rooms were large

Cons: Bathrooms in poor repair, Shower was in a awkward position, flooded when used in all but one spot. broken tiles, looked old and not so clean.

Pros: Reception staff were extremely friendly and helpful at all hours

Pros: convenience location, good staff

Pros: Staff was very helpful. Clean, large sized rooms. Overall high quality experience.

Cons: The gym and pool were small, and too cold to swim in.

Pros: Very convenient location

Cons: Air conditioning very weak but I was told entire hotel renovated soon. Hopefully room air I Gus too.

Pros: Pleasant and helpful staff. Rooms were extremely clean , quiet, spacious and bright - and very comfortable. Buffet breakfast with delicious omelettes made to order by the chef. The taxis connected to the hotel were good value - very clean and safe (the street taxis ripped me off badly). Reception and restaurant staff very helpful and welcoming. Lots of local restaurants in a very lively area.

Cons: It’s currently at the epicenter of student riots so it can feel unsafe to walk around outside the hotel at night. Would be nice to have milk and tea available in the room. Mini bar very expensive. No iron/ironing board in the room.

Pros: The location of the hotel is great, really near Salvador metro, but also close to downtown - areas to the west such as Barrio Lastarria, Bella Artes, it’s easy to walk south to Barrio Italia, and also to walk north across the bridge to Bella Vista, and on to Parque Metropolitano and San Cristobal Hill. I even walked through the park by the river to the commercial district to Gran Torre. The staff were fantastic - in particular, Victor, who helped me check in (I was able to check in a great 4 hours early which was perfect), so lovely and always asking if I needed anything. Housekeeping were great, let me borrow an iron without asking for it back, and the buffet restaurant staff were very sweet too. Buffet breakfast was good (I am vegan). They had a range of local breads, salsas, jams, fruits and sautéed vegetables. They have an omelette chef too (for non - vegans). I was staying in a suite which was a great size to spread out for a weeks stay, a walk in wardrobe and a writing desk. There was a sofa bed although had no need for this.

Cons: Unfortunately the view wasn’t great looking on to the courtyard of the neighbouring tower block. The suite was quite dark and the lighting was limited. Some of the reviews say the hotel is a little run down, it is a bit rough around the edges but still it is very clean. There wasn’t a bath unfortunately which I would have liked having done a lot of walking and cycling tours to cool down, but the shower was great. No tea/coffee making facilities, no kettle or cutlery. The sauna didn’t exist, I guess they are doing renovations, the gym had been moved to a small room on level 1 but I had to search around for it as it wasn’t pointed out. There was a lot of maintenance happening in the building, the lifts were being fixed a couple of times during the week. The current political climate in Santiago means that protests are happening in the nearby Plaza Italia, every day. Particularly Friday and Saturday are scary, the protests are violent with people raiding and looting buildings nearby, tear gas being thrown and a large police presence. On Saturday afternoon the protests spilled into Bella Vista district, while I was eating in a restaurant, so the restaurant staff had to lock us in with the shutters closed while the protestors and police passed. Fires were being started in the street, it is quite scary although the locals say you get used to it and no real violence comes of it, which is hard to believe. So the hotels proximity to these protest areas may be a bit concerning for some travellers, as protestors have been known to enter hotels and destroy them. Hopefully this doesn’t happen, Santiago is an incredibly beautiful lively friendly city and the hotel is a great place to stay.
