Hotel Ultramar

The hotel was good with a comfortable room and adequate breakfast. Staff was very helpful when planning activities for the day. The one drawback is the location; it is up on the hill and after a day of sightseeing, you have to climb the hill to return to your room. The tradeoff is the great view from the terrace. Traveled with a young child and didn't have any issues. We'd stay again.

the hotel and rooms were nice, but it is one of the farthest hotels from the city centre. It's still not a far walk, but there are many other hotel options which are much closer. Breakfast was very basic, so I wouldn't count on it as a complete meal.

Friendly staff and a great view of the city.

I think the hotels in Valpo probably should be evaluated with the itself. As this was my first trip to Chile, and after having spent several nights in the best hotel in South America , some expectation setting is in order. Not ever having been in a 1st to 2nd world country, I had no idea what to expect. Valpo is a much more gritty town than Santiago. Finding this place, even with an iPad GPS, was almost impossible. There is zero logic.. The neighborhood is a mix of decay and hidden wealth. The interior is like Chile, working hard to be e best it can be. The main area is a welcome relief after driving. The parking lot is okl, if not rough, but your car is safe. The room was the Superior, and definitely smaller than I hoped. I was ok with scaling my impressions to Santiago. I don't know if that is the custom,I'm not an experienced world traveler. The distance to the old town of Valpo was not excessive. About 10 minutes walk through a pretty average area. The breakfast service was simple, with the option of having it in the room. Valpo is noise, barking dogs and traffic horns.AIs far as Ultramar is far from be the middle of this, I was glad. Internally the walls are not thick. As it was the first REAL place I saw in Chiile. I don't want to rate the hotel based on that. I was glad I found it, I felt safe, and they would fix anytihng that i found bad. I felt a bit far the action. The taxis there are many, but as I driove myself, I was already a bit shaken by the traffic.

It's a very nice hotel with most welcomming staff and excellent service. The only point are the rooms, they are very very small.

For the price, this is a great hotel. The interior of the hotel looks like it's recently been remodeled. The staff is kind and speaks english. The room was small but everything was clean and looked to be very new. The hotel is an old building and looks it from the outside. The hotel has a patio with great views of the city and habor. The hotel does sit on a hill so it's a bit of a walk to get to anything. They do have the collectivos which are cheap and frequent.

This is rated as a 4 star hotel and falls well short of that description. The staff are good, comfortable beds and great views but the rooms are very small and the furnishings are below average. To my mind not value.

great city view from the room. staff was very helpful and very responive.

A great hotel with a pretty good view. Cheap taxis make the location good. The only problem here was the breakfast. Although they call it an American Breakfast it is just a Continental cold breakfast. People nice and helpful

great hotel clean and new free internet continental breakfast plenty to eat they serve snacks and drinks throughout the day up on the hillside so not close to downtown but great view and can walk down to arty area then get the cable car to the bottom taxi cost 6000 pesos to the port would stay there again
