Hotels near Rotonda El Peral, Santiago

My husband and I stayed in an executive room for 5 nights in January-February 2020 while holidaying around South America. Positives: - a massive fresh, clean and modern room with nice views - good breakfast buffet - good wifi - friendly staff, except for the breakfast staff who were a bit aloof. - within walking distance to the metro station. We Ubered a lot, and this worked fine. (Taxi drivers, however, struggled, to locate the hotel for some reason.) - a nice cocktail bar on the rooftop. Negatives: - we had repeated issues with lack of hot water in the shower. Not acceptable. - we had to ask four times to get our laundry picked up. - no room service for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We were travelling for 3 months and sometimes you're just too tired to venture out for food. Had this been a business trip, I'd had been absolutely appalled as I tend to have room service dinner so as to get a moment's rest and solitude. Simply inexcusable not to provide this service. - music from the cocktail bar carried into our room one night, necessitating earplugs (we were on the highest floor). - the cocktail bar is, understandably, very popular with locals. While I fully support the hotel also providing a space for locals, there should have been some tables (as well as sun loungers during the day) exclusively reserved for paying hotel guests, because it was quite difficult to grab a spot in the relatively small area both during the day and evening. (The hotel appeared to sell daytime pool passes to non-guests.) - about to check out, we called the concierge to ask someone to help us and come pick up our luggage. To our surprise, they informed us that this service was not provided (?!) and that they'd had to ask for permission from someone higher up to send someone to help us. I thought it was a joke at first, it sounded so absurd. When we checked in, there was a bellboy who automatically took all our luggage so making a big show about providing this when checking out was just very odd. All in all, however, a solid four-star hotel.

We spent 2 nights/3 days here before boarding our Viking cruise. Highly recommend! Val at the front desk managed to get us us an early check in, which was much appreciated after we flew overnight from the US. Room was modern and comfortable with a GREAT view. We were surprised and thankful there was a USB and a 110v plug as we brought the wrong converter … would have been a real problem if we couldn’t charge our devices! The restaurant on the 17th floor was excellent, both for the food, the service and the wonderful view of Santiago’s financial district and surrounding parks. We ate breakfast there each morning and had drinks on the shaded patio before dinner each night. Ask for the hard copy menu in English if your Spanish is as rusty as mine. If you want to keep up your exercise, you can use the hotel gym OR the long, wide path that goes through the city that is right outside the hotel front door. Not sure how long it is (just did 3 miles) but bring your sunscreen as it is not shaded. Just across the street from the hotel is a building called CV Galeria. It has about 8-9 restaurants / bars across three levels, all with outdoor seating. Great options for dinner after a busy day touring Santiago with no Uber ride required! One tip: contact the hotel ahead of time to arrange a pickup at the airport. It will save you time and angst trying to navigate the airport and choose unknown transport… great to have a guy from the hotel holding up a sign with your name! In summary: great centrally located hotel in a safe area.

Breakfast is simple, but it is appetizing! Praise! Never have a room on the 4th floor! Too small and too small! The color of the room is too depressed! The floor is too slippery, be careful. The video is a restaurant, the restaurant decoration is not commented, things are very delicious! In general, eating in this house is the right choice, the room is too bad...

My wife and I tried to check into the hotel a little earlier than expected and there were no rooms available. So the receptionist would hold our bags until we’d get back from our day out in Santiago. We enjoyed a great evening out in Santiago, and arrived back at the hotel at about 11 pm to check into our room. We walked into the hotel to check in and get our room key - there was no security guard outside, no requirement to swipe the room key, and the door does not automatically close. My wife and I were talking to the receptionist IN THE LOBBY, I mentioned to the receptionist that the door should automatically close or they should have someone at the door, a second later a thief snatched my wife’s phone, which was under her arm. The thief ran out, jumped into a waiting car, and took off. We sprinted after the man, but he was long gone. The hotel advised the Carabineros (Chilean police) wouldn’t arrive until 4 am, that they were having an unusually busy Tuesday night, and we might as well wait until tomorrow morning to file a police report. As we were going back and forth with the receptionist and my wife is crying hysterically, and we are advising guests walking in of what just occurred, the receptionist is trying to quiet us down and to not scare the guests. The receptionist was indifferent and ambivalent, no apologies, and showed no consideration. Not reporting it immediately was a critical mistake, and surely done on purpose by the hotel to avoid having a scene of several police officers and my wife crying in their lobby. After barely sleeping we went to the PDI, the sophisticated Chilean police investigators, they advised that they couldn’t take the report, had to be the carabineros. We went to a carabinero station and filed a report. At first, the carabineros gave us a very hard time for us not having filed the report immediately. Telling us we made a huge mistake by not reporting it immediately, and even thought it was a little over 12 hours since the incident occurred. However, after pleading with them, explaining what the hotel told us, stressing we are foreigners and do not know the laws in Chile, they finally made a report. The Hotel Sommelier Boutique is NOT safe and they do not care about their guests.

Hotel location is good, the side path into the back of the hotel has a parking lot, easy to drive. The room is ok, the interior is neat and clean. There are not many varieties of breakfast, but they can basically eat and eat well. It is about ten minutes walk from the hotel to the Weapons Square, the Presidential Palace and other attractions. It is convenient to go shopping, and there is a Santa Lucia Mountain next to it. It is also close to the San Cristobal Hill by car. Feel that this hotel is good value for money 👍

We stayed in this hotel for two nights while visiting Santiago de Chile, and my experience was pretty good. Check-in process was smooth with no complaints other than the lack of staff to escort the luggage. We got a room in the middle of the building and the room was spacious and comfortable with working heater plus air conditioner for warning up from the chilly Santiago weather. Unfortunately we were unable to enjoy the breakfast due to the constraints of our tour but overall we had a very nice stay and would recommend this to anyone who's looking for a good accomodation in the centre of Santiago.

The hotel is clean and located in the heart of Santiago. The staff are amazing. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. There are bus and train stops within a couple of blocks of the hotel. Water, beer, wine and snacks are conveniently available for purchase in the lobby any time of the day or night. The hotel is still ramping up its operations to become more “full service” so some services, such as an in-house laundry service, are not yet available. The pool/bar area is beautiful and makes for a great place to hang out. Compared to a four star hotel in Chicago, some may find the interior a bit lacking, but my family and I really liked it.

The hotel is located in the centre of the city, and the hotel is located in the centre of the city. And it would not be exaggeration to say that Marcelo and Karla deserve a prize for the best guests in the world. We hope to see them soon again! 5****** ... One of the best experiences we've ever had with a holiday rental. The hotel was very comfortable and very comfortable. 5******

4,5/5,00 O Best Western Estacíon Central é um ótimo hotel. Ele possui quartos amplos e é bem confortável. O café da manhã é servido até às 10h e é bem farto, conta com variedades de frutas, cereais, pães, frios, ovos e linguiça. Os funcionários são bem receptivos e atenciosos. Eles disponibilizam uma marmitinha de café da manhã (sache de café, chá,fruta, sanduíche, iogurte) para que você possa levar no dia dos passeios, basta solicitar até as 21h na recepção. A região realmente não é boa mas o hotel conta com seguranças a disposição caso precise esperar algum uber ou taxi do lado de fora. Foi bem tranquilo pedir carros de aplicativo tanto durante o dia quanto durante a noite. Próximo ao hotel há uma estação da Turbus (estação alameda) e tem um metrô do outro lado da rua
