Wow. What can I say about this hotel? This was probably one of the best hotels I've stayed in when you factor in price, service, location, and the view. I booked this hotel kind of last minute and I didn't really know what to expect. I had been to Valparaiso before, but I didn't realize the exact location of the hotel, which is set on the tippy-top of Cerro Alegre with some of the best views of Valparaiso and next to Ascensor Reina Victoria (one of the lifts). I booked a single room with an ocean view. The view was spectacular! I could have just sat on the chair next to the window and gazed out at the ocean and the city all day. The view from the terrace is even more spectacular. It's a must see! The breakfast was also delicious. They served perfectly cooked scrambled eggs with fresh bread, fruit, REAL coffee, tea, juices, ham, cheese, and cake. It was all delicious and the service was superb. The only downside for people may be the noise. It is directly in front of a restaurant/bar. But I always travel with earplugs so I didn't hear a thing. I recommend bringing a good pair of earplugs if you stay here because you will hear street noise and noise outside of your room. It's an old mansion and the floors creak and the walls are thin, but don't let that stop you from staying in this beautiful hotel!
