Urban Oasis
For me, a perfect hotel is historically or artistically unique with a flair for luxe. The first thing that immediately made my heart happy is the fact that it sits in the heart of the vibrant Bellavista Distract, but being at the edge of the Gardens and Zoo, it exists in it’s own tranquil world. You can walk down the street for dinner, music, art and revelry (Patio Bellavista with it’s concentration of venues is wonderful), then return to retreat within it’s walls amidst the sounds of waterfalls and singing birds. Being a boutique hotel, the building itself is an historical estate, we felt like the sole visitors, rarely seeing anyone else. The daily breakfast was lovely, and on our last day, having stayed out late the night before, they brought the spread to our bed. We stayed in the San Cristobal Studio, with it’s in room vessel tub and balcony overlooking the pool, and found it hard to leave in the mornings because it was so relaxing.
Owners Max and Will were warm and inviting, the entire staff helpful and attentive, and midday Pisco Sours in the Piano Lounge were a delight.
Situated in a cool neighbourhood with an abundance of cool bars and restaurants. The hotel itself feels small and safe, with great service the moment you enter. When there was a technical problem with the room, this was serviced immediately. Lovely having breakfast outside by the pool also - felt like we had the entire hotel to ourselves!
Castillo Rojo looks out on a triangular square that makes it look like the neighborhood was designed around it.
The staff is very attentive, so that you feel they are looking out for your safety. This was reassuring for me, since there were demonstrations happening during my stay.
The rooms are small but elegant, clean and comfortable. There is a large public space on the second floor with windows facing the square that can easily seat 30 people - they have a complimentary wine tasting in the evenings where you can socialize and make friends or just drink your wine. There is a covered veranda off of the common room with 3 tables and seating for 6.
We had an extremely good stay. There are only 6 rooms, so the stay was very familiar. The staff was overly friendly and helpful. Particularly noteworthy is Diego, who showed an exceptional commitment and helped us a lot. Thank you so much Diego!
Very Impressive modern sophisticated hotel, very helpful, friendly staff, great breakfast you'd expect in much more expensive hotel, centrally located... pool and veranda on roof, very bright in account of the large windows... Be prepared for some night activities in the neighbourhood that seem to be expected in Chile...noisy confrontation protests ...the next days everybody do as if nothing happened, clean up the streets and move on!
I really enjoyed this Boutique hotel; the internet functioned quickly and without any problems, and the breakfast buffet, included in the room rate, was generous for my liking.
I especially liked the atmosphere of the hotel. Since there are (from what I can see) less than twenty rooms, I like the intimacy of the hotel; seeing the same faces working in a hotel, even if you're only there for five nights, really just has such an unexplainable draw to it.
The hotel was helpful in providing me information on how to navigate Santiago, and was very honest when it came to prices and tour recommendations; I felt like I was treated well as a guest of the hotel, rather than as a client in an impersonal business, if that makes any sense. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel enough; its excellent location near the National Museum of Fine Arts and the beautiful Santa Lucia hill are the final factors that help to make this one of the best value hotels I've ever stayed in.
Very nice hotel with a great location. I was there again in December this year. Covid put a damper on things. Breakfast in my room vs the room both a view. Great staff.
A last minute overnight stay due to being ill during our Xmas/NY holiday. Check-in process was very smooth. Raul is a star super helpful! Building is old but the room was spacious enough. No free bottles of water or slippers provided. Very convenient to have a supermarket adjacent to the hotel. Buy water there! Hot water was fast but temperature fluctuated. Downstairs there is a Thai restaurant quite good as well.
Older hotel with nice, clean rooms. Mostly friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast is included. It included one scrambled egg, toast, some fruit, small glass of juice, and ONE (and only one) cup of coffee or tea.
The hotel is small and intimate and perfectly located to visit all the sites on foot. The staff are extremely accommodating and very friendly. We highly recommend the Casa Noble
Very good value, perfect location, good breakfast for a hostel. The staff is super friendly. But my room is facing the busy street and it's very noisy and tough to get some sleep. Also, there is no AC so it's a little bit hot sometimes, especially for people who prefer cool air. 3.5 stars rounded to 4.
