Hotel Los Españoles Plus

這是我住過的最舒服的酒店，温馨，建築設計合理，當我看到吧枱放的高迪的書就明白了原來如此。 大隱隱於市，交通方便，閉上窗户，世界安靜了。

I did not give this 5 stars as I feel there are a few things that need improvement. Don't get me wrong, I highly recommend staying here, if you are looking for a boutique hotel and not one of the fancy high rise chains. One thing that was 5 star …was the staff. Terrific people. Everyone we met, whether the front desk ,late night person, spa attendant, housekeeping, everyone was very friendly and helpful. And the front desk person was very patient with all my questions. We had one of their suites, which was nice and reasonably large and well appointed with couches, eating table, desk and large bed. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom had plenty of space. It had a bathtub shower combination. The room has windows on two of the sides so you get a good view from there…but the hot sun would come in and heat the place faster than the AC could cool it. As the AC wont stay on without your key in the slot near the door, we kept one there while we were gone as otherwise it would take hours to cool the place down. We also had to make sure the drapes were drawn when we left in the AM as the sun would be really hot in the afternoon. The AC is a single wall unit, which does a good job cooling the main area of the living room and bedroom, but as you walk to the desk area or bathroom, the area can be a bit hot. So they really need either a second AC unit, or better yet a central air unit. The main issue we had is the layout of the room, likely due to building structural elements and the building being not that big, was a bit of a maze to get around (could not even move my roller bag around without picking it up to turn sideways.) This layout was part of the issues with the AC. But also, at night, I had to leave a light on near the bathroom otherwise I would likely bump into the walls trying to go through the maze to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Without the pillars, which they cannot do anything about, you would have a terrific large open suite (not that it was not good ,but …) A similar issue with the breakfast buffet. Due to the building structure and where they have the buffet, its spread out over several rooms and nooks and crannies. That, I believe, also limited the extent of the breakfast selection. Wifi worked well (they had a repeater in the room. smart) Plenty of plug outlets where you need them given all the gadgets we have these days. The breakfast buffet was ok, but not as extensive as most places we stayed. While it had the usual assortment of breads, cereals, meats and cheeses, along with scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage, the assortment of pastries and other times was a bit lean. Part of the issue is, they don’t have a lot of space as it is and have to spread things out over several rooms. The location is pretty good as you are in a residential area, seemed very safe, and you are but a 5 min walk to the big Costanera Center mall, where there are tons of shops and restaurants, including a Jumbo super market

Stayed for one night between transport to Argentina. Staff were great, room was big, bed was comfy. Bathroom a little cozy, but fine. Great location for getting around Providencia.

Had some really great sauna sessions! Have to book in the hot tub and sauna and steam room but wasn't a problem. They change out the water in the hot tub and clean the sauna and steam before each use, so 1 hour ahead is minimum, but they preheat as well so when you step in it's hot. Steam room temperature was too low for us, so we used the Sauna which was first class and hot as..Hot tub was really good as well and rooftop views, was great at sunset and if you wish can order drinks...There is a lap pool that is always open, cold and you need goggles as chlorine is high, but got some good laps in, small though about 15-18 mtres, but workable. Area of hotel is right off the freeway but noise not too bad with windows shut and AC on, but we don't like AC and slept fine with windows open. Staff very friendly and accommodating. We didn't eat breakfast as we like to swim and sauna in the AM, but it looked good and reasonably priced. Big shopping centre 5 minute easy walk with tons of options for eating, also around the area there are tons of options as well within walking distance. Providencia is one of the better neighborhoods and family friendly, overall felt very secure even when we had a night out at the hard rock in the shoppin centre and walked back after midnight. Metro station close by as well, and we used it daily. You can save some bucks by taking metro to bus station and then bus to Valpairaiso - but better to take the bus to Vina Del mar IMO, nicer area. Overall great

Place was a little run down. Closet store was a mile walk. They should have had a little mini market on site. Carpets were dirty, residential area so dogs were barking a lot. Overpriced bar with frozen food. Paid for breakfast every morning but only had coffee. I guess they didn’t understand us or it didn’t matter. View was nice on the top of the hotel. Didn’t use the pool or spa, too cold.

Right next to the “financial district” , nice breakfast, super nice rooms with lovely bathroom (we stayed in room 211), and very helpful staff. The hotel even looked after our main luggage for 4 days while we popped over to Easter Island. Really nice!
