Raymi House Hostel

Hotel Apacheta

"Your reading this review, because you saw that picture of the hotel, and yes it does look like that at sunset. The view from an upper room if equally striking. What are the drawbacks: no a/c, no fan, no heat - so keep that in mind. Cooling breezes, yes and no. Room was warm to hot during the day - comfortable at night and the waves breaking on the rocks can cover most noise, except when an early rising fisher decides to crank up his music at 5:30 am. As noted in the other reviews, the building itself is a little careworn, but no significant problems. Breakfast was ample and good. Had dinner in the hotel one night and that was very good albeit with limited wine selections (note you have to reserve and make your menu selections early in the day). Traffic and parking around other Arica restaurants can be a pain, so it was nice not to go out one night. I was really put off by the lack of a fan in the room, but the character of the place won out and I'll probably remember this hotel when I've forgotten most others."

Hotel Plaza Colon

"Cheap and very good location, the hotel is old, old lift, old pieces, has no air conditioning, has a ventilator to help lower the temperature of the piece that in the evening/night becomes unsupportable, We implement the things you pass are poor, luck we got a little soap, don't change towels, the Shampoo is in a fixed dispenser in the shower, breakfast is acceptable, Although if you come very close to the closing time and remains little do not repose, it has no dryer, they made us a (it must be asked), it would return only by the location"

Hotel Arica

"Dirty, old hotel, terrible staff, noisy rooms, breakfast with pre-packaged pastries. I left a day early."

Antay Hotel & Spa

"Just had one night in the Antay hotel, had a very nice room on the 14th floor spacious and very comfortable bed, sofa as well and great balcony with the views, good size shower. Breakfast good choice and a nice environment. The hotel also links on the 3rd floor to a walkway with about a dozen separate restaurants. A special thanks to Felipe on reception who is a very friendly helpful guy who checked us in and remembered us the next day."

Hotel Diego de Almagro Arica

"It needs to be made clear that there was nothing inherently wrong with my stay at this hotel, hence the still-solid four star rating I’ve given. The rooms delivered in comfort and functionality, and the people at check-in/out and the on-site restaurant were friendly and very helpful. My issue boils down to how much I was charged to stay here. Read the details of my experience below: - Location and atmosphere: The property directly faces the Pacific Ocean and affords awesome views. One can walk to the beach and a few nearby restaurants fairly easily, although I didn’t spot a way to get to the beach without having to circle around the front of the building. Inside, the atmosphere is dated, but things are still clean. Only one elevator was functioning when I stayed, but it didn’t cause too lengthy of a delay to access. I encourage the property to begin renovations as soon as possible. - Service: All the employees were warm and friendly. The reception folks spoke proficient English. When I needed to load my electric wheelchair onto a taxi, the workers who came to assist with the lifting were so gracious and willing. Moreover, a member of the housekeeping team I encountered upon walking to my room was very cordial and sweet. The service here is excellent. - Room: I requested a room facing the ocean, and my request was granted. While the views didn’t disappoint, the amenities in the room were minimal, and the furniture and bed was quite basic. Of course, I’ve never stayed at this hotel before (which is apparently part of a Chilean hotel chain with locations all over the country), so I certainly could’ve arrived with expectations too high. Nothing was terrible about the room, but something could’ve been added or polished to take it a step further. It was just very basic and ordinary. - Value: I’m honestly doing this hotel a favor by reserving my criticism in the “value” category rather than the “service” category, because the argument could be made that customer service resulted in this. I’m choosing to say this here because I truly don’t think the hotel staff were aware or purposefully trying to overcharge me. But they did, both literally and in terms of how I perceived my very basic room to be. I should’ve paid online in advance; whoops. What would’ve cost me (including taxes) $75-ish USD on any major booking site, had I just taken three minutes to connect to Wifi and reserve it on my iPad, ended up costing roughly $125 at checkout. Mind you, I had specifically checked the sea-view rooms online, not simply the lowest-tier room in the hotel. I also only bought two bottles of water, surely costing no more than $4 USD each. I was grossly overcharged. I attempted to explain this and ask for a lower amount, but a combination of the language barrier and the fact the bill was inevitably final left me owing far more than my stay was worth. I may stay here again for a great price if I can pay in advance online, and especially if renovations to rooms and"
