Valparaíso hotels near Plaza Echaurren

Cons: Pathetic breakfast. On our second day we decided to skip it altogether and paid to have breakfast at a cafe.

Pros: Staff were welcoming and helpful. The lobby was welcoming and comfortable. A keurig style espresso machine downstairs made mornings more special. If you need a beverage or a pick-me-up, there's a cooler downstairs where you can buy sodas, energy drinks, aloe juice, and still water.

Cons: Conversations, footsteps, other people's TVs, cell phones ringing... all of it entered our room as though our bed were in the center of the lobby with zero walls around us. On Saturday morning at 4:30, someone walked back and forth across our ceiling eleven times in five minutes, then down the stars and back and forth across the lobby. They continued up and down the stairs and across our ceiling till well after 7:30. Every footstep echoed in our room and kept us wide awake. Sleep was not possible with the level of noise that carried into our room. Additionally, one entire wall of our room is floor-to-ceiling windows that look out on the center courtyard and the interior hallways opposite our room. Ordinarily, this would be spectacular... except that the curtains that were meant to provide us privacy weren't big enough and only covered a portion of these enormous windows. With the curtains fully stretched as far as they would go, it was still possible for someone to stand to one side and have a full and unobstructed view of us in our room. Privacy was not possible unless the lights were off. This was rather frustrating.

Pros: Location, wood fired heater in reception.

Cons: The shower leaked through the floor boards and wet all of our clothes and electrical items. The staff moved us to another room but didn't follow up with us the next day.

Pros: Very nice old building with wooden interior. The room was quiet and clean. It had all that we needed. Hosts were very nice and helpful. The location is very good - it is next to the two of the main passages - Fisher and Apolo.

Pros: All you need is a clean room with a comfortable bed and good hot water (it was hot but took a long time to come through) - Hotel Da Vinci ticked all these boxes. Staff were very friendly & helpful, even with the language differences.

Cons: I chose the single room over two storeys, and the headroom was not good for a tall person like me. This was my choice, not a criticism of the hotel. In hindsight I should have paid more for a room with full headroom.

Pros: The owner was really helpful and let us check in early. He showed us where to go and where not to go. Even helped organise a rental car with a local company when none of the websites would allow us to book one online. The location was great because its situated not far from everything. It's a easy walk to the main bars, close to banks and there are restaurants just up the hill on the same street. You have to get use to the plumbing in the showers as you have to run the water for quite a while before it gets hot but there are signs in the bathroom telling you what to do. The only issue was the curtains on the first floor bedroom did not fully cover the whole of the window facing the outside. However, we enjoyed it so much that we returned the following week on the way back to Santiago and got a room on the ground floor which had one of the most comfortable beds we had slept in during our trip.

Pros: Staff was outstanding. Location right in the heart of the arts scene. Wonderful food close by. Real find.

Cons: Inside room was musty and so they moved us to a better one.

Pros: I loved the coffee and the kindness of the owner and his staff. It was 4 min walk from my work, very convenient location.

Cons: The first room I had was a bit too small. They moved me to a larger room.

Pros: Staff were very helpful when planning visits, catching buses or booking taxis. Room was comfortable and quiet and breakfast was good.

Pros: Lovely staff, beautiful building, and (in my opinion) the perfect location: a short walk to the main bar/restaurant area, but far enough to be quiet in the evenings. Great sea view from the dining room. Secure, onsite parking at no extra cost. Oh, and the room and linens were VERY clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable!

Cons: If you're staying alone, the walk back from the centre might be a little too far after dark (not a dislike, just something to bear in mind). The room was very spartan, so it's a good, clean, reliable place rather than a luxury aesthetic experience -- but I thought that was fine, because the price is reasonable. I would stay here again :)

Pros: Great staff,cool place,nice sheets.good wifi

Cons: Lack of plugs for electronics

Cons: The breakfast could have been better , but the rest was good !

Pros: Our room at the Ultramar Hotel had amazing views of the ocean and of the residential communities that surrounded us in the hills of Valparaiso. At night we were able to enjoy the city lights and the bells ringing in a distant church. I loved walking up and down the hills daily and visiting Pablo Neruda's home, La Sebastiana, within a 25- minute walking distance that was largely on flat ground. I further enjoyed all the walking tours of Valparaiso. Our guides were very knowledgeable about the history of Valparaiso, the architecture and its people. The walking tour of Mural Art was fantastic! The murals are fantastic and made me feel like I had walked into a magical Wonderland.

Cons: My husband and I are fairly fit and we enjoy long walks. For those not in the practice of walking a lot, there are taxis that we saw regularly climbing the hill to deliver locals to their homes and communities. The only annoyance in walking was the presence of many stray dogs and dog poop. Thankfully, the dogs appeared healthy, leading me to believe they are communally fed. Being vigilant about avoiding dog poop and broken sidewalks is strongly advised!

Pros: Fantastic view to the bay - ensure you'll book a room with view! In-person service was very good and welcoming

Cons: Customer service prior to arrival was bad. Tried to prepay the hotel but emails were ignored - one point to improve.

Pros: Have stayed here a couple of times and just love it. It's like a second home.

Cons: I love this place. Would be a 100% rating if there were some restaurants closer.

Pros: Very nice room with a view to the sea and the city. Very clean and cozy. The staff was very friendly.

Cons: The hotel is far from restaurants and the city center. Location is a bit secluded.

Pros: Very clean and very good staff.

Cons: A little far from Cerro Alegre.
