Hostal Destino Bellavista

Très bon hotel, avec une propriétaire particulièrement aimable. Propre, silencieux, Wifi, il y a aussi une cuisine et une belle terrasse sur laquelle on peut manger. Attention, toutes les chambres ne se valent pas (même si elles sont au même prix) - les chambres du haut, dans la partie neuve, sont nettement mieux que celles du rez de chaussée à coté de la cuisine.

Stayed here for 4 nights while helping my daughter start the semester at Universidad Catolica. Patricia, the owner, could not possibly have been more welcoming and helpful to the two of us -- from recommending restaurants and tours to explaining the ins and outs of the "collectiva" taxis (cheap but not for the faint of hear as they drive very fast on narrow streets). She even personally drove us to one of the plazas when she saw us walking!! Clean and comfortable rooms, computer in common area with internet as well as wifi access for daughter's laptop. Front of building has beautiful mural -- many people stop to take pictures! One tip -- if you are a light sleeper, consider bringing ear plugs no matter where you stay -- there are lots of dogs throughout the city and they tend to bark early in the morning. Highly recommended -- like a B&B in U.S or Ireland.

Très beau quartier près de la maison de Pablo Neruda et du musée à ciel ouvert et surtout la famille qui tient l'hôtel est super : ils nous ont fait visité la ville et avons mangé dans un bistrot typique chilien ! Des personnes très agréables et qui aiment leur ville ! Un merveilleux moment ! En plus les chambres sont très agréables et bien tenues !

I had the good fortune of landing at Hostal Destino Bellavista for a few nights in late May, which is their low season for tourism, but it couldn't have been a better experience. Patricia, one of the owners, was kind enough to lend me her cell phone so I could call her if I needed anything, and she even took me for a personal guided tour of Valparaiso at night so that I could see all of the different views of the city. The hostal itself is very charming and has lots of character. I was traveling solo, but it would be a great place to go if you're traveling with a group of friends. Highly recommended.
