Nice but overpriced
This $112USD room felt more like a $50-75 room. Rooms are very small, dusty and simple. It would be much better if the price was more reasonable.

Hello Mr or Mrs, Thank you for your feedback. I could track this reservation and I'm sorry for the average experience you had. Please keep in mind that your rate was 88 USD, not 112 USD. Even though our rooms are not meant to feel dusty, we apologize for that. About the sizes, well they are not listed as big and there're good quality pictures which depicts the room sizes any way. Thank you for coming and have a nice holiday.

Overbooked ? What are my rights?
I arrived at 9 PM for a 2 night stay with a guaranteed reservation. All looked fine at checking in, I had a good sleep and I had to leave next day early at 7h30, so I was is too early for breakfast (only starts at this time). In the evening I came back after very intensive day for my second night, I found my luggage taken out of room ! Reason : 'My credit card was not valid?' First of all : why my credit card was accepted during reservation, given as guarantee, and later on refused? No clear answer. Furthermore they requested me to pay that first night... I only had my so called refused credit card. but when coming down to payment it worked well... I asked if I can get back in my room, they said : no, already taken by some body else. But surprisingly they already had a solution : they reserved apartment on other side of street. As I had no choice, language issues, I was tired, I accepted : horror...they put me in a very cheap apartment, no breakfast or internet, value might be not even half price but they forced me to pay in cash before I could get in apartment same amount as in hotel, bye bye money... So, sorry, never again, I was not handled correctly, never seen this before. I think they overbooked hotel otherwise this is a very strange way to treat the customer.
Response from Rodrigo on Oct 18, 2014
Dear Johan, I have read your comment and I'm deeply sorry about these inconveniences. Expedia does not check the credit cards provided by the customers, it's our job to do so and the card was declined at least twice. There were not an e-mail address available to let you know about this issue. Given this case, it's our policy to cancel the reservation. We could accommodate you the first night because the room was available, the next night it was booked, so we had to move you. The most important priority is the guest treat, so please receive our apologies for the circumstance. We will take note about the Apart Hotel conditions, so we will stop working with them as the quality and payment possibilities are not the same. Best Regards

Great location, spotty breakfast and maid service
From the outside, this is a charming hotel shaped like a Swiss chalet. Location is excellent, close to Avenida Providencia and walking distance to markets, restaurants, and shops. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The downside is that rooms are quite small, especially the bathroom. Every day the maid moved our stuff around in the bathroom so that we had trouble finding it (evidence that she cleaned, though). Also, breakfast was always problematic because food supplies *always* were low or exhausted; this included plates and napkins. However, when we pointed it out to the reception staff (who took care of breakfast), they promptly and cheerfully replenished missing food --even going to the market to do so once. This issue arose because this is a small hotel and, evidently, they are concerned with waste and do not periodically check whether there is still food in the breakfast room. There is a kitchen adjacent to the breakfast room; the kitchen staff cook for a cafe that the hotel runs. When we and other guests asked the kitchen staff to help out with the food problem, they seemed irritated and stated that it was not their job. A sign directing guests to check with the reception staff for such matters would have been helpful. In summary, a charming hotel that is excellently located but rooms are very small, maid service was problematic, and breakfast service was spotty.

Cute hotel, with very small rooms and bathrooms.
To enter the bathroom I needed to move the bed, so I could open the bathroom door. Inside the bathroom my knees touched the opposite wall and I hit my head against it when sitting at the stall. I did request to be moved to a larger, more comfortable room. The indifferent response of the hotel clerk “they are all of the same size”. The hotel decoration is cute, reasonable clean and the hotel location superb. But I have to move out of this hotel as soon as I could, to a one closed by with normal size rooms, since I could not keep going to a bathroom away from the hotel or risk more bumps in my head.

Very kind owners!
At the last minute my reservation in Santiago was cancelled. I had intended to stay closer to the downtown area but I saw that from past review this was a nice place to stay. The owners were very kind and pleasant and went out of their way to help me. I had an early flight on Saturday morning and the owner herself drove me to the airport. She said that taxi service was unrealiable and did not want me worrying about getting to the airport on time! Great quiet and safe location. Easy access to the subway. Good shoping and restaurants a short walk from the hotel.

Response from Rodrigo Fuentealba on Aug 16, 2018
Señor: Su comentario falta fehacientemente a la verdad. De su parte no hubo reclamo alguno durante toda su estadía, por ende ninguna señal de desagrado de la que pudiéramos estar al tanto. Le entregamos en un 100% lo contratado y aún más; le otorgamos un late-check out sin costo además el Hotel ofreció pagarle el parquímetro. 1. Agua caliente hubo señor, se le dijo que debía esperar unos minutos hasta que el agua llegara de las calderas. Lo constatamos en su presencia. Nadie del personal le impuso ocupar la ducha sólo durante la mañana temprano, esto es totalmente falso. 2. La habitación que Ud reservó es mostrada en fotografías fieles a la realidad. ¿Por qué no reservó una habitación más grande y de mayor valor en su lugar? Ud sabía muy bien que estaba reservando señor. 3. Ud reservó una tarifa SIN desayuno, es SU deber informarse que está pagando. Tampoco solicitó el desayuno aparte. Por lo demás, nunca consultó en recepción sobre opciones para comer fuera el sábado en la mañana. Hay decenas de locales que abren a las 7:30 y 8:00 en nuestro barrio. 4. Esto No es un Apart Hotel. Aquí no tenemos cocina por ende nada de lo que Ud menciona. No obstante, si lo solicita, le podemos entregar todo eso sin problema. 5. El costo de habitación promedio en este barrio es de 4 veces lo que Ud pagó aquí. A 2 cuadras tiene hoteles de 4 ó 5 estrellas que pueden llenar sus expectativas. Si quiere pagar poco, sea consciente de donde lo está haciendo y no invente calumnias. Hemos mejorado diversas falencias gracias al feedback bien intencionado de los huéspedes. Podemos entender que el lugar no le haya gustado y haremos todo lo posible para mejorar. Y así ha sido a lo largo de los años. Recibimos de muy buena forma buenos, malos comentarios o reclamos. Sin embargo, responderemos a comentarios falsos y mal intencionados.

Muchas gracias Dani por su feedback, ¡Es muy importante para nosotros!. Creemos que a pesar de no entregar un enfoque en el lujo, lo cual se traduce en la tarifa igualmente, recibimos al huésped con una sonrisa y entregamos todo lo esencial para que su estadía en Santiago sea la mejor. ¡Gracias por quedarse con nosotros!

Conforto e Excelente localização
Hotel bom, com excelente localização,limpeza e café da manhã dentro dos padrões desejados. O aquecimento dentro do quarto poderia ser um pouco melhor. Uma excelente estadia para poucos dias. Happy Hour as quintas e sextas-feiras no restaurante do Hotel.Os hóspedes perdem um pouco de privacidade, pois fiquei no quarto ao lado do restaurante e se ouvia as pessoas conversando bem alto.

Destacado por su ubicación
El hotel es bastante lindo, chico, tiene clase de hostel, aunque con mas privacidad. Esta ubicado en una excelente zona, barrio muy tranquilo y lindo. A pocas cuadras del shopping Costanera y muy cerca del metro y buses. La atención del personal es óptima. Buen punto el desayuno incluido aunque podría ser mas variado, el café siempre frío... Es muy recomendable en función de su tarifa.

Safe, friendly and convenient B&B-type hotel
We love this place as it is the perfect size, in the perfect location, with lovely staff and rather strangely decorated rooms that have more character than most. I did think that we were a little hard done by this time as I booked a larger-sized room but it still seemed pretty cramped. The bathroom could also do with a bit of a revamp. Nevertheless, the staff are always super friendly and helpful and we feel right at home, which is very important to us. More of a B&B than a hotel but definitely superior to a hostel.

Hotel simpático e confortável. Achei minha estada bem satisfatória. Observo apenas 2 itens que deveriam melhorar: o café da manhã (sem variedade e restrito) e o aquecedor do quarto(nao fornecia calor adequadamente).Ah, outro detalhe: o box do chuveiro e estreito, pessoas obesas podem ter dificuldades em tomar banho. De resto, aproveitem!

Intiwasi Hotel, Santiago - rolig,nær Metro,rest.
Kanskje ok hotell for en -1- overnatting - greit for oss. God velkomst, trygg låsing av port, bra standard på rom, stille og trygt område, egnet for voksne, Ingen frokost / mat kunne bestilles - ei heller mulig å kjøpe vann eller annen drikke, Liten og lun utehage med direkte utgang fra rom ( gjelder ikke alle rom ) med bord og stoler, Lite basseng - manglet vann--, Avvisende, manglende service hos innehaver/vertinne M. -: ingen hjelp til å sjekke hos busselskapene for transport over Andes-fjellene - for vår retur-reise senere i feb. måned), Rotet med innleverte pass/ vi måtte finne dem selv - lå henslengt under div. andre papir bak skranken og uten tilsyn- flere gjester på hotellet-. Lange tider uten vertskap i resepsjonen - heller ingen ringeklokke å trykke på for å tilkalle "resepsjonisten". Upålitelig vertskap : Vi bestilte tidlig vekking-0545- for fly til Påskeøya - vekking ikke gjennomført !! - Ikke personale i resepsjonen ved avreise. Bedre, mer pålitelige og serviceinnstilte hotell i samme område / Providencia - ref. Hotels.com sine avtaler - f.eks. i V. de 11.septembre --.

O Hotel, ou seria melhor considerar como Hostel, pois melhor se enquadra nessa categoria. Os quartos sao confortaveis, com boa cama, bons lençois, TV a cabo, e ar condicionado. A restrição é que os quartos e banheiros sao bem estreitos, pois foi aproveitada uma residencia para hostel. Ele fica 2 quadras do metro Los Leones e bem perto de bons restaurantes, supermercado, lojas, etc. O atendimento é ótimo por parte da proprietaria e seu filho. Tem otima folheteria da área de turismo. Recomendo a estada, com toda a certeza.

NO ES UN HOTEL - IT ISN'T A HOTEL
No es un hotel, mas un hostal de buena calidad. El estacionamiento posee una única plaza. El desayuno es sencillo y uno deve lavarse sus vasos y platos... Nuestra cama queen size, era princess size... Habia un desnível entre la habitación y el baño y cualquiera con más de 1,70 de altura tendría dificultad de utilizar el inodoro, pués está demasiado cerca de la pared. Pero la ducha estava muy bien.
