Hotels near Biblioteca Peñalolen, Santiago

Very big and clean hostel with a good social space to meet new likeminded people! Good bar and the hostel always has events going on every day to keep you busy. Walkable distance to the center. Would recommend to any solo traveler staying in Santiago!!

I want start by saying this hotel is beautiful and is worth visiting for the rooftop bar and the chic style. I quarantined here for 5 days in April. The rooms were clean and food was mostly good. The staff wasn’t very welcoming at first. I was exhausted and overwhelmed with everything that was going on with the pandemic. You would think they would be kind and try to get you into a room. I had a paid reservation here for at least 5 hours before I arrived. This was a last minute thing for every traveller that day. The staff member on duty waited about 3 hours to finally assign us a room. The excuse was that the reservation didn’t come through yet, which made no sense. I see people going through the same thing as us checked in already. I didn’t understand the concept of making a paying customer wait in the lobby for hours. He should have checked us right in and took care of it then, everyone would have been happy. At check out I gave my cc details once again and they handed me my deposit back. Later on that week everyday Im getting emails from the same staff member claiming it wasn’t paid. I had no idea what was going on. I also sent them a bank transfer after the fact since there cc machine wasn’t taking our credit cards. Which wasn’t our fault! They need to communicate better and accommodate guests better.

El hotel es muy bonito y tranquilo. El personal es increíble y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Destacó sobre todo la amabilidad y atención de Eduardo. El restaurante es un imperdible ya que la comida está bien hecha y el desayuno vale la pena.

When I first arrived, Scarlett was at the front desk. She was kind and very helpful. She went out of her way to make my stay pleasant and comfortable. I cannot speak highly enough of her. Ivan, Juan, and Guillermo also work at the front desk. In their presence, one always feels welcome. A few times a week Juan would play his guitar and sing, and what a powerful voice he has. I could listen to him all day. Acoustic music and singing have a way of opening hearts. The room feels alive and people feel more connected with each other. One day when I was sitting in the common area, the atmosphere was casual and relaxing. And then Juan shows up with his guitar and begins to play and sing. The room fills with sound, and everyone is spellbound and fully immersed in the powerful emotions being expressed. After he finishes, people are suddenly open and friendly and talking with one another. The vibe in the room is completely transformed, alive and social. The free breakfast provided every morning was excellent, a few different cereals and milk, and maybe some fruit and boiled eggs. They also have fresh bread that arrives every morning, and they have these spreads, jams and creamy chocolate that are so delicious. It's a simple breakfast with quality ingredients. There is a category of hostel that just stands out among the rest. You know, the ones where you feel like you get to know the staff and guests, and that you've made new lifelong friends. Well, this is one of those hostels. In order for a hostel to stand out among the best in the world, it must have excellent management. I give credit to the owner and the management. I never met the owner, but hostels like this just don't appear out of nothing. This owner must have a gift. To create hostels with such a welcoming atmosphere is a priceless gift to all those travelers in the world who love experiencing new cultures and making new friends along the way. I highly recommend this smaller, but cozier hostel to anyone who wants to relax in a welcoming environment, meet new people, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

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.

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.

Amazing! The Hostel has a very good bedroom with spacious lockers. Also available is a pool, and a little gym and great location, very close to supermarket and subway. Huge thanks to Gustavo and Victor Manuel and Angelica, and everybody else!

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

Got this hotel because of proximity to bus station. Area is very dodgy as described by other reviews. There is a security guard walking around inside the restaurant and lobby which is reassuring. Food is poor but appears to be popular with other customers. The lunch special was not good and breakfast looked so so. Staff all very young and I found them not particularly friendly. They appeared overworked and not happy in their jobs. You get what you pay for.

Needed an overnight before our cruise. Since they had an airport shuttle and decent prices we booked a room. First the shuttle service has an interesting pickup point at one of the parking areas. We had to evade the taxi people and go up two escalators to a walkway. Not bad if you follow the instructions they emailed. The waiting area is a bit wide and it would be easy to miss the pickup but I called and was picked up in about 20 minutes after the 12 reservation we made. We will not go into the ride over the the hotel, it was, well exciting might be an ok word. As for the hotel, desk staff was professional, helpful and got us into a room quickly. The hotel was being used for other cruise passengers and workers but they did take care of us quickly. The restaurant was good but not great. I think there were too many people early and they were not ready for the numbers so several tables seated after us were leaving before we even got bread. The hotel was clean and rooms were very nice so I would use it again but reconsider places to dine.
