Hotels near The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Santiago

Para quem vai se deslocar pela cidade (metrô) ou para fora dela ( ônibus ou aeroporto) este Ibis é bem útil. A região é um pouco movimentada e deve-se ter cautela - nada que um brasileiro nao tire de letra. O hotel está bem detonado, em relação à outra hospedagem nossa ( 2012). O atendimento é ruim, principalmente no bar/restaurante. Não espere o padrão Ibis aqui, é pouco abaixo. Mas ainda assim, pode ser uma boa opção se a estadia for curta.

We flew into Santiago on an overnight flight and used booking to stay for our first night. Arrived at the airport and needed to WhatsApp the hotel to arrange for a complimentary ride. It’s 10 mins away and the shuttle was new and clean. We attempted to check in a little early @ noon, but we’re told if we wanted to check in before 3PM we would be charged an extra 1/2 day rate. We decided to wait. After having a coffee I spoke to the front desk @ 2PM and they agreed to check us in early (I assume it’s because the hotel was extremely quiet and they had ample space/rooms). The hotel is clean, but quite a ways off the beaten path. Not sure how safe the area is as the hotel is gated with a wire fence and looks desolate and a little prison-like. Also, the hotel seems newer, but the walls are super thin and a little noisy because of this. Breakfast was very good and Lorenzo was helpful at the front desk.

The building is beautiful, I loved decor, structure, reception, coffee, cleaning, all staff are very lovely and attentive, speak Portuguese, even I felt at home. I'll go back to Chile and I'll certainly stay hosted at Black Cat 🥰

I arrived at Hotel Fundador around 4:30 pm on 10/28/2022. There was no employee at the entrance for help or guidance. While standing at the counter, filling out the check-in form, I left my belongings beside me on an armchair. When I finished, I verified that ALL had been stolen, a fact attested by the recording made by a security camera that must be intended to monitor what is the property of the hotel, completely disregarding the guests' belongings during admission. What happened was that a passerby came in and took my luggage, without my noticing or having any warning. I was able to return because I had the documents in hand being used to fill in the identification. I couldn't see the footage, it would be necessary to wait for the security company to send it. This is the report of the manager of the day. When we asked for information about the Commissariat or Police Station for registration, not only were we not advised to do so, but only after much insistence did the hotel ask an employee to accompany us. Daily rates were charged for the days we would stay there, but we returned to Rio de Janeiro on the first possible flight, on the 29th, departing at 5:00 am for Rio de Janeiro where we live (we left the hotel at 2:00 am to the airport). The lobby is big, it looks good, I like old hotels, but when we asked if there was a security officer, in fact there wasn't, the door is not closed and there is no concierge. I had already visited Santiago and the experiences were good, never in this hotel whose appearance on the website and ”live”, especially the accommodation, does not match, it is very different, the room presented is unrecognizable. The site is not honest. It was the worst travel experience of my life.

O hotel em sí é muito bom, parece bem novo em toda sua estrutura. O quarto duplo é bem confortável, bastante espaçoso e o ar condicionado bem potente. A única ressalva que faço é com relação ao chuveiro, pois é muito frio, a água não esquenta de maneira nenhuma. No período que fiquei estava fazendo bastante calor na cidade, então não chegou a ser um incômodo tão grande, porém no inverno, acredito que isso seja um problema. A limpeza é impecável, bem como o atendimento do pessoal do café da manhã que considerei muito bom. Lí muitos comentários criticando essa parte, porém, eu particularmente achei muito bom e bem variado. A localização é ótima, pertinho do metrô, estação Santa Lucía e de pontos turísticos da cidade.

A great little hotel right next to Santa Lucia hill. The staff are very friendly, Raul at reception was extremely helpful with recommendations and general information. Our room was comfortable and the bathroom while small, was well appointed and had a great shower. The continental breakfast was good. The rooftop bar at the hotel is a highlight and Lastarria restaurants and bars are only a short 5 minute walk away. Museums, the theatre and shops are not too far away. Sundays and Mondays are very quiet in Santiago with not much open, including many restaurants and all of the museums. Happy to recommend this hotel.

What a great place! I would definitely stay here again. The hostal is centrally located, five minutes away from the subway and within walking distance of many attractions, shops, and restaurants. Transit is easy and inexpensive, so consider it as an option when visiting Santiago in addition to Uber. I had a sizeable private room with a comfortable bed and a washroom. The service was friendly and I had no problem leaving my luggage before check-in and after check-out. A modest breakfast was provided, though I only took advantage of the coffee and juice. On my first night I was invited to add my name to a sign-up sheet for tasting terremotos, the national drink of Chile. What a fun time! I enjoyed meeting other guests, who were visiting from around the country and across the world. If you happen to be staying on a Sunday, try checking out the changing of the guard in the morning at the Plaza de la Constitución (in front of the presidential palace, La Moneda); on your way back to the hotel, walk through the Lastarria neighbourhood and catch the open-air arts market.

What a fabulous Hostel. The staff and volunteers offered tips and suggestions for a wonderful time in Santiago. Each guest gets an individual tour of the Hostel upon arrival, so you know where everything is straight away. I would like to mention some of the staff by name as they provided me with a terrific experience. They were Mario, Claudio, Basti, Santi, and the volunteers Julius, Stefan, Pascal. The people I met were all very friendly and both the Xmas and New Years Eve parties were a fabulous experience. I HAD AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TIME AT THIS HOSTEL AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE
