The Grand House

The owners are absolutely amazing. Very friendly and helpful regarding anything we need. The house is an interesting old home high on a hill, with a pleasant terrace where we brought food for an evening meal.

Very friendly and accommodating hosts, great views, garage parking, easy to reach with the shared taxi, beautiful character house.

This elegant, family-run mansion was an absolute delight. Great location is very simple to access as it is just a few steps from a collectivo (shared taxi) stop that takes you to and from the center for less than a dollar. Each room is decorated with gorgeous antiques and fine art. Delicious breakfast individually prepared and served on bone china with silver flatware. The owners spoke perfect English and made us feel incredibly welcome. We spend 100+ nights a year in hotels around the world and this is one we will never forget.

Indeed it is like going to visit Grandma but with a delightful twist. The Ladies (Twins) who own and operate it are exceptional. Helpfull, considerate, very knowledgeable about the area and great senses of humor. Breakfast on the patio with all of Valparaiso laid out below you is a memory that will last. I recommend a taxi (very low cost) to get there, and be sure to tell the driver it is "Cerro La Cruz" since street names, shared among the many "Hills" of the city can be somewhat confusing. Many major flags could take customer care lessons from these Ladies! I thank them for making a 3 day business trip a pleasure.

They have very kindness , warm and friendly service . This hotel location is the middle of the hill,Therefore very beautiful and picture perfect scenery from window. But I don't recommend to go by car . They have parking space but load is very very tight and scarp .

The house is on a hill, kind of hard to get to on foot, and a 5,000 CLP ride away from the Valparaiso bus station (Rodoviario). The staff are super nice, the view is great and the house is cozy and has an old house charm that will be attractive to many. However, the beds are terrible. My back is still aching from the U position I was in all night. That is the only reason why I don't plan to return on my next trip. I'm sure they could change that easily if they wanted.

The first impression was a shock because the house was on a rough street which the taxi driver could not find. This impression was soon overcome by the welcome shown us by the two owners - delightful twins who constantly went out of their way to answer all our queries and who shared with us our delight in Valparaiso, its history and its attractions. Meals were more than just breakfast and included coffee and toast or cookies whenever we arrived back from trips to other parts of the city and its neighbour, Vina del Mar. Among the attractions of the house were its fabulous view over the harbour and its amazing collections of silver, china and crystal. We enjoyed the experience of using "collectivo" taxis, trolley buses, buses and light rapid transit to get around.

A very nice B-and-B indeed at the price we paid. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was also pretty good and the place it was served on the picturesque balcony with lots of floral around. The location of this hotel is on the slopes of the hill with crowded residences. I was terribly afraid to drive the car to reach this place. But after couple of times we used to get of it.

A beautifully presented place to stay with lovely people providing excellent service. Doris wrote tips about places to visit and where to eat on a map of Valparaiso that she gave us. When we asked Doris to book a taxi to take us to the bus terminal, she took us herself. Perfecto! Muchas gracias.

Fantastic quirky hotel, great views of the city, super friendly and accommodating hosts. The only possible negative is that the hotel is a bit away from the center of Valparaiso, but all that is required to make it to the center is to take the wonderful trolley bus (straight out of the '60s) for 250 CHP! Also, the use of collectives to make it back up the hill to the hotel saves up on having to hiking up the hill, for only 450 CHP.
