Hotel Casa Higueras

"This is the perfect place to stay when visiting Valparaiso. Located in the best neighbourhood (in my opinion) in the city and well priced. Perfect walking distance to great restaurants, cafes and shops. The staff is excellent and exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were spacious with a perfect view of the harbour and very clean. They have a car to drive you to and from your restaurant (if available) if it's close by, which is helpful if you don't wish to climb some of the steep hills in the area. We had dinner in the restaurant on the first evening, on the outdoor patio. The food was delicious, as well as the local wine selection, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was included in the morning with a nice selection of simple a la carte items or eggs prepared as you like. Only note, the coffee could be improved. The pool was a bonus overlooking the harbour. Overall terrific!!"

Fortunata Chacana Guest House

"This is a large, 5 bedroomed guest house that will take some beating. It has been tastefully renovated by the owner in a traditional style. The beds are old fashioned wooden head and footboarded and very comfortable. The owner took great pains to welcome us with recommendations about the best places to visit in the city and good restaurants. breakfast was lovely and the staff could not have been nicer with a bonus of reasonably good english. If I ever return to Valperaiso, this is where I will head to"

Hotel Casa Somerscales

"Wonderful welcome from the proprietor, who gave us a great orientation to Valparaiso and couldn’t do too much for us and recommended excellent restaurante. Location was fantastic within walking distance of everything but in a safe part of town. The breakfast was delicious and our room spacious and with a wonderful view. The only challenge was we didn’t get much sleep as there was no air conditioning so we kept the windows open which meant we were awakened by the dogs of Valparaiso who bark regularaly throughout the night."

Gervasoni Hotel Boutique

"Centrally located in the tourist zone, easy walking distance to a multitude of sites, one of 20 + funiculars,restaurants and shops. Fabulous breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. The owner provided transport to the Santiago airport at the conclusion of our stay. Funky older establishment with lots of stairs and no elevators."

Hotel Garden

Casa Vander Hotel Boutique

"Great location (Cerro Alegre), wonderful vibe, very bohemian. Staff was superb and extremely attentive. Great homemade breakfast included in the stay. Great views from the 3rd-floor balcony. Some pant and freshening up and it's a 5! (Actually, our stay was more like a 4.5)"

Fauna Hotel

"I like the location of this hotel and the views from the room; however the first room I was given the security safe was broken and was shut, it was locate directly beneath the bed. The reception appeared to know this, when I went back to raise a concern, but still seemed to think that would be acceptable; when I advise them it was not, they did offer me room a floor below with safe that worked and the seas fine. Wifi in the hotel is not great a food in the restaurant was OK, but a little expensive compared to other nearby restaurants."

Palacio Astoreca

"The Palacio Astoreca Hotel is a terrific place to stay. There is nothing better than staying in a fine, renovated mansion! First, they organised pick up at the airport. Check in was smooth and room 17 had a fine view of the harbour, plus its own little terrace to sit out on to watch the sunset. Breakfast is at the adjoining restaurant, and it was delicious--a lot of variety. Dinner at the restaurant was also excellent. The hotel has a spa area that you can reserve for 45 minutes for yourselves. The location is quite good for exploring the city's street art."
