Air Conditioning needs upgrading

The room was old, bed was well used and the Air Conditioner would not adjust so the room was 25 to 27 degrees C (77 - 79F) for the 3 days. We had maintenance up and he said it was working perfectly???? So they gave us a fan!!!! Not a 4 star and not anything greater than a 5 out of a 10 - based on location and staff. Building is in bad shape. But mostly, the hot room with no ability to make it any cooler and no concern from maintenance.

Frustrated, it took a while to check in, the air conditioning was not working and we had to move to another room as the service person could not fix. This took way too long! water in the foyer was always out, very frustrating. The rooms were ok and the breakfast was good. The service related issues were the problems.

Excellent location for shopping, dining, and very convenient public transportation to points of interest in Santiago. It's Make Make seafood restaurant offers a nice breakfast buffet, and tasty dinner choices. Improvements recommended include new larger bath towels, and better/working AC. More English TV stations instead of BBC

Not a 4 star hotel air conditioning doesn’t work

Air conditioning was very poor, it was either not working for the 5 days we were there or set so high for money saving reasons it left our room permanently at 27 degrees and very hot and uncomfortable. Staff advised us the manager would contact us which never happened. Staff came to the room after 4 hours waiting and said it was fixed but it remained at 27 degrees the whole time. Air conditioning works well in the lobby and reception but not in the rooms. We didn’t get our hotels.com early check in or room upgrade despite others checking in after us getting an upgrade.

No running water and AC almost inexistant

Spent 3 nights at this hotel and was told only on arrival (at 1 am), after 13,5 hours been on a plane, that there was no running water from 23h30-5h30. Same scenario happened on our last night so we couldn't shower or use the toilet when we woke up to catch our flight. We had to use the toilet at the airport. The AC was also not really efficient and we gave up asking for another room when the customer in front of us was told that there was no other rooms available...He was complaining about the ACas well. The receptionist took our informations and said that someone from.the hotel would get in touch with us to offer a partial refund regarding the water inconvenience. It's been more than 3 weeks now and nobody contacted us or responded to the email I have sent a week ago on the subject.

The hotel was good, the room was nice. The restaurant was very good and staff was very kind. The only issue is that the surroundings at night may not be safe, so you have to drive your car or take a taxi instead of walking to a restaurant. During the day, it was close to interesting places like Casa de la Moneda, Plaza de Armas and cerro Santa Lucía.

Mal servicio al cliente

En general, tuvimos una mala experiencia. El aire acondicionado no funcionó correctamente durante nuestros 2 días de estancia, lo que nos impidió dormir cómodamente por el calor. A pesar de que un técnico vino al segundo día, no logró repararlo y nos dijeron que iban a darnos un ventilador que no cumplieron. Además, el servicio del restaurante fue muy deficiente. Si bien llegabamos 30 min antes del cierre de la cocina se molestaban y nos ofrecian solo platos simples o muy caros, obviando los platos mas económicos con ma excusa no válida de que no les daba tiempo a servirnos. Por ultimo, pedimos que nos hicieron una llamada para despertarnos en la mañana (wakeup call) y nunca nos llamaron.... servicio muy deficiente manejado por jovenes a los cuales parece no importarles la experiencia de los visitantes.
