0"For a night or two in Santiago, this small boutique hotel has a great position between the Bellavista and Lastarria areas which are both excellent for restaurants, cafes and bars. The rooms are good, with very comfy beds, nice decor, and good touches such as robes, slippers and toiletries. We loved the free afternoon tea, and though we didn’t use the swimming pool it would be good to have if you are here in summer. Friendly staff add to the good atmosphere here. "
