The Hilton Garden Inn Santiago Airport, Chile

Hotel Review: -

The Hilton Garden Inn, Santiago Airport,Chile

  • Location - Americo Vespucio Ave 1292 Pudahuel, Santiago, Chile. Five minutes by car or shuttle transfer from the airport. Half an hour without traffic into the city centre.
  • Quality - Excellent - This hotel is quite new.
  • Service - Very helpful -  plenty of English.
  • Highlight - Airport hotels are normally quite ordinary but, partly because it is so new, this one is an exception. 
  • Bedding and bathrooms - Crisp linen and nice bathrooms.
  • Would I recommend this hotel - Yes; but only for a one or two night stop. It is too far from the city centre to be a base for seeing Santiago. 

The Hilton Miraflores, Lima.

Hotel Review

The Hilton Miraflores, Lima Peru

  • Location - Avenida La Paz 1099, Lima, Peru
  • Quality - Excellent
  • Service - Great. Almost all the staff spoke English
  • Highlight - The excellent lunches in the Executive Floor Lounge
  • Bedding and bathrooms - Fantastic 
  • Would I recommend this hotel - Absolutely! We stayed in a suite but the rooms looked pretty good too.
  • My tip - Stay in a suite or on the Executive Floor so you get access to the Executive Lounge with its stunning (free) breakfasts, lunches, afternoon teas and light suppers. Not a place to stay if you are watching your waistline.

The Zero Hotel, Valparaiso Chile

  • Location - Lautaro Rosas 343, Valparaiso, Chile. 
  • Quality - Very good. The room wasn't large but it was nicely furnished and comfortable.
  • Service - Pleasant and helpful - everyone spoke perfect English.
  • Highlight - The wonderful view out across the town to the harbour and the myriad of little restaurants close-by enough to walk to. The light and airy breakfast room was a lovely way to start each day.
  • Bedding and bathrooms - Good quality sheets and towels.
  • Would I recommend this hotel - Yes but only if price is not your prime consideration. It was very expensive.
  • My tip - Eat at the Restaurant Montealegre. It is close by, has superb food, stunning views and very pleasant staff. The lamb was fabulous.

Where we stayed - what we thought - Hotel Reviews - Argentina/Chile/Peru

So far, with a couple of exceptions, I have avoided making recommendations for accommodation or restaurants in this blog. I am conscious that what David and I think is a great experience might be someone else's idea of purgatory. However lately I have realised that's a bit silly - most of you can probably figure out whether our idea of good service and value is likely to work for you.

  • Quality - Clean and comfortable - Given the cost the room could have been better. There was a lack of natural light which gave it a slightly dingy feeling.
  • Service - Very friendly and helpful - almost everyone spoke English. 
  • Highlight - The beautiful grounds and the very friendly staff.
  • Bedding and bathrooms - The sheets were crisp and clean and while nothing to get excited about the bathroom was perfectly acceptable.
  • Would I recommend this hotel - Yes.
