Hidden in the streets of the center of La Serena, is this very friendly and historic boutique hotel, managed by Maria Angélica. A very nice hotel, with rooms all different and carefully maintained and decorated, with open and closed common areas that can be enjoyed, including a pool in the garden. Very rich breakfast and everything prepared by its owners, who personally take care of all the details and needs of their guests. If you go to La Serena and stay in the center, it is a very good option!

Hotel is close to the beach and from my room I had beach view. Breakfast was really good and the room was spacious and clean. Parking was easy and staff was very nice. However, my rating was lower because I did an astronomy tour and arrived late back and water in the bathroom was out. It was after midnight, I was tired and with pandemic concerns. That did happen in the night before, but I was just going to the bathroom during the night so I forgot about it, but this is unacceptable in a hotel.

I selected this hotel on the basis of reviews but was really disappointed. Firstly, the good things. The hotel is well located on the beach at La Serena and I think most rooms have a sea view. Secondly, the staff were helpful in loaning me some electricity adaptors as they only have the older plug sockets for which I didn’t have an adaptor. The showers are really nice Now the bad points. The staff are not very friendly. They prefer to communicate by WhatsApp rather than face to face. There is a real “smiles cost extra” vibe. Check-in is ridiculously late at 4pm. I have travlled the world and never experienced such a late check-in. Rooms are OK but basic. The breakfast room is just depressing and looks like it was designed for coach parties. The food was basic and I was shouted at for not wearing my mask. Well, of course not, because it is necessary to remove your mask so you can put food in your mouth. Plus I was sitting outside. I didn’t bother going after the first morning as the food wasn’t worth me being hassle again. Just be aware that the city centre of La Serena is at least a 30 minute walk. Taxis are a bit unreliable, especially first thing in the morning if you need to get to the bus station. Would I stay here again? No.
