訪訪客I loved this hotel! The staff was really wonderful and accommodating. Juan was at the front desk each morning with a greeting of ”Good Morning Madame.” Nicolas was very helpful in arranging my stay prior to the visit, which was helpful. Every staff member was really friendly and accommodating. They served a small breakfast buffet in the main level each morning, even cooked eggs to order if you'd like. I went to this country traveling as a solo female. This was a nice location because it's walking distance to several restaurants and a lovely park. I felt completely safe in the area. My favorite was the Peruvian restaurant! I had this amazing seabass dish with scallops and calamari with a sauce on top. This was all on a bed of risotto. Chilian wine...fantastic! I wasn't familiar with this region's wine and was surprised at how good it was. My meal, paired with a lovely Chilian Sauvignon Blanc Reserve was so delicious that I went back and had the same thing the next night.
There is also a hill about a mile away that has the Christ statue, that is very walkable. There is a Japanese Garden on the hill. If you can't walk there, there is a funicular and the Uber car service worked just as it does in the US. One tip, if you're from the US or North, the maps will be backwards on Google. Just google directions to get them in the direction you're going. I got lost the first day until I did my Google search on how to fix.
The only problem I had was the language. Very few people speak English. I even went to a restaurant, fine dining at a park, quite lovely, but nobody spoke English and the menu was only in Spanish. To make matters worse, my phone died! Be prepared with how to use Google Translate, that will help, but if your phone dies, you're dead in the water. I found it very hard to communicate with people, which would not have been as bad had I not been traveling alone. I found it to be very isolating. I even took a tour with an English-speaking guide. I thought great, now I can chat with people, but NO! It was a guide who spoke Spanish, then translated to Portuguese, then English. I was the only English-speaking person on the bus. The museums, a few are only available in Spanish so no point going to those if you don't speak Spanish.
Other than the language barrier, I had a lovely time. My highlight was my hotel and the staff!
匿匿名用戶晚上到聖地亞哥,早上8點又要離開,選擇住機場的 Holiday Inn 是一個明智的選擇。Holiday Inn 提供不錯的早餐,而且離開數日也可以將行李存放在酒店,衹需背小包去復活節島,非常方便。
Holiday Inn 的位置絕佳,距離任何國際或國內客運大樓都僅需步行幾分鐘,直接拉行李箱過馬路即可,不用走天橋,也不用繞路,非常便捷。不過酒店已有十多年的歷史,設施略顯陳舊,但房間寬敞且安靜。不過,1400人民幣的價格並不算便宜。
從復活節島返回聖地亞哥時,次日早上又要飛走,Holiday Inn 的最低價格已漲至2200人民幣。於是我選擇了距離機場車程6分鐘(約4.5公里),位於機場高速旁的 Courtyard by Marriott。這家酒店價格接近1000人民幣,晚上9點從機場到酒店乘坐 Uber 僅需8美元(相比出租車的20美元更划算)。
Courtyard 比 Holiday Inn 更乾淨、新。上午每小時整點提供一次免費的送機服務。一輛商務車(連副駕駛座位)每次最多能載8-9人,具體取決於行李的數量。早餐還可以,總體來説性價比不錯。

DdisasterEXEMy wife and I stayed here four years ago for our honeymoon. It seems like the place has stayed the same, which is not a compliment. The room was carpeted, yet no slippers were given to us. The aircon unit would buzz loudly and randomly during the night, which woke me up. For some reason bathtub drain stoppers needed to be requested, and the two nights I asked for one I was told they were all out. I spent two nights wanting to take a bath to relax and I wasn't able to.
The elevators are extremely old and seriously need to be replaced - the door would shut in front of us when waiting for one and I got trapped by the doors once.
The best part of this hotel is the breakfast. It has great variety and the quality of the fruit and meals is excellent. The staff is very kind, too.
