Beutiful old building. Staff was great and very helpful. The room was updated but very small. The town itself is not great. Easy to see that it was nice at one point but not anymore
Everybody was very helpful, especially the woman working breakfasts. Thanks for a great stay!
The only suggestion i have is to keep a fan available for hot days. We could have used it the first night.

Good situation, but staff and management park cars and block the entrance and exits without caring. Shackleton bar is closed which is a disgrace to historic remembrance and why many people go to the hotel. Poorly managed currently!

Dear Ernest, we just open on january after some long renovation, then we are in trial period with many new staff we are sorry if you had any problem or dalay for leaving the parking.Our Shackleton Bar is open until 12 am every day an on sunday until 10 pm, now is Ii La Pérgola and The Endurance Restaurante is in de inside saloons, I think there was some misunderstanding.
The room we're given was terrible, only had a tiny window towards the floor. The service was terrible too: we reserved a taxi to go to airport, but the front desk didn't call until we checked out - we ended up calling Uber ourselves. The breakfast options are very limited.
This is a historic property, which means they have kept up the outer facade but have not invested in anything on the inside. No water pressure. No hot water. No amenities. Skip this stay

Dear I am very sorprised for your comments and I hadnt any notice about these complain in reception or with the maids from you or from other guest, about the pressure or the temperature which of course is very important for us to solve, we are check that but we dont found problems until now. . All our room have amenities: soap, shampoo, hair conditioner and cream, if for some mistake we didnt let them in your room you only had to call to reception. e really regret your bad impression of our hotel.
Hotel Jose Nogueira is conveniently located in near the city square. It is part of or attached to a historic home, the Sara Braun house. It has lots of interesting paintings and memorabilia from the Shackleton voyage to Antartica. There is a bar and restaurant but seems to be run separately. Our room was large and it was quiet. The reception was very helpful
Beautiful hotel right in the city center. Very charming with lots of history. The hotel has a lot of interesting historical information on site. We loved the bar with the paintings depicting the Shackleton Endurance expedition. The staff was very helpful. I highly recommend this hotel when staying in Punta Arenas.
Es un hermoso e interesante lugar, con una atención excepcional.

Recepción.
The staff were very helpful in helping us get a covid test for travel. The rooms are beautiful and the location is the best. Had a drink in the cozy bar. Overall it is a great hotel.
Great stay at an awesome property. Lots of history in the building. Food and drinks in the bar were great, and the staff was extremely helpful. Would love to come back.
Absolutely beautiful and historic hotel. Patricio checked us in, with the safest Covid protocols and was very friendly, (the entire staff is!). Only wish our stay was longer than one night.
We had a suite room with a king bed. It was clean and comfortable. No issues with any of the amenities. Staff was polite and helpful. Our plane was delayed. So we didn't arrive until 2:30 a.m. and someone was up and waiting to check us in. Our room was basically quiet, there is some street noise, but not eough to keep us awake. We slept well. Breakfast was very good.

This is a very well located and convenient place to stay. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly and the breakfast is very ample. The rooms could use an update, but are clean and roomy.
Worst hotel experience ever. We arrived at the hotel at 11 pm. Protest demonstrations were in progress close to the hotel. A single middle aged female clerk was the only staff person at the hotel and she locked the glass front door after we entered the lobby. There was no one t assist with the luggage.There was no security personnel at the hotel. Within 30 minutes of our check-in a full scale riot broke out directly in front of the hotel with rocks being thrown at the hotel windows, much yelling, and banging on doors and windows. This continued for several hours. The hotel then lost power. No heat, lights or electricity in the rooms. No back up power generator. With no security at the hotel we really felt our lives were in danger. We checked out at 9 am the next morning still in the dark.

Estimado Rodney, nadie esperaba que las protestas de ese viernes llegarán a tanto, en nuestra ciudad nunca antes habían llegado a esto, las marchas pasaban por acá pero carabineros los dispersaba y se iban a otro sector, mucho menos romper vidrios de nuestro edificio que es patrimonio de la ciudad, además al estar a media cuadra de carabineros contamos con rondas especiales en estos casos. Ese día como falló el carro de carabineros por un rato los jóvenes se agruparon frente a nuestro hotel pero esto no fue por mas de 45 minutos tenemos nuestra cámara externa que registró todo el movimiento, después volvió el carro y se dispersaron a otro sector. En las tardes el hotel queda con el personal mínimo este día había 3 personas y esa noche se presentó el jefe de recepción para ayudar a lo que fuese necesario. Debo aclarar que siempre en la noche queda alguien en recepción y se refuerza los días que sabemos habrá alguna marcha, hacemos todo el esfuerzo para mantener nuestros servicios de alimentación y no podríamos dejar el hotel solo o cerrarlo y dejar a los huéspedes en la calle, en plena temporada cuando no es fácil encontrar disponibilidad en otro lugar de similar categoría. El corte de electricidad efectivamente duró hasta la mañana siguiente porque los vándalos rompieron las instalaciones del sector, nuestro hotel no cuenta con generador de emergencia porque no había sido necesario en los 27 años que llevamos funcionando. El hotel cuenta con luces de emergencia en los pasillos y con detectores de humo y sistema de alarma. Hemos solicitado a carabineros atención especial a nuestro hotel dado que estamos tan central y los días siguientes se han instalado a hacer controles de identidad frente a nuestro edificio. Todo lo vivido para nosotros también fue inesperado y actualmente estamos reforzando entrada y ventanas porque no se sabe hasta cuando durará esta triste situación de nuestro país.
Shabby and dilapidated. The sheets were clean but the blanket was worn and tattered. Wallpaper peeling. Room small with a small, high window resembling that of a jail cell. We left to go to a better, newer hotel nearby.

We regret your bad impression of our hotel, without knowing the whole service, unfortunately by mistake you must have put some old blanket since we are just renewing these to definitively unsubscribe the few remaining ones only for replacement when washing the new ones. The fourth floor of our building is in mansard where the windows are high they have no bars and open unlike a jail. As you will see in the descriptions we publish of our hotel we always mention that rooms are the same because we had to adapt to the heritage building where we settled.
The building is beautiful & historic & centrally located. Bar staff was excellent. Our room was facing a noisy street so the manager was very kind to change our room for us. I don't know the manager's name but she was a young woman with dark brown hair. She's great. On the other hand, there was another front desk person - middle aged woman - that probably should not be in this role. She was nervous & confused & did not make us feel comfortable, especially with us being unfamiliar with the area. She provided no confidence in anything she did for us. Her actions made us feel nervous - like she didn't know what she was doing or she was very unsure of herself. This is not good for the hotel.
Very nice with favorable price. Very good food, central location, near bus terminal. Person at checkin was nowhere to be found for 15min, then appears and writes down that we want a wake-up call but that never happened. Still, would recommend the place.
