Sol de Viña

A definite no. The rooms were dirty, dark, cold, and small, and the hotel was a long way from the beach, restaurants, public transport, and the city center. We weren't allowed to use the common areas, and the owner was manipulative and discriminated against us. Even though we had a reservation, we were asked for more money because they said they had overbooked on Booking.com. The service, price, and quality were awful.

There was never anyone at reception when we needed help, even for something as basic as toilet paper. They also ate the food we'd left in the fridge. The place was noisy because teachers were working there all the time, so resting was difficult, and it was far from everything and hard to reach. Our bathroom was tiny, and a cat got in and peed in it. The ceiling even seemed like it might collapse. The room smelled musty, the sheets were torn, the bedspread stank, and there was no hot water. We put up with three nights, but for the price it was uncomfortable and not worth it. There are cheaper, more comfortable places closer to downtown. I don't recommend this at all. A disaster.

We only stayed because we'd arrived late and needed somewhere to sleep. The service was awful, and they asked us for paperwork like we were buying a house. They don't accept children, but made an exception since we'd already paid. There was no parking or breakfast, and the place was very cold, though there were lots of blankets. Two of the three bedrooms had no toilet paper, soap, or towels. Expensive for what you get.

We had nowhere else to stay, so I'll go a little easy here. The room was freezing and had no heating, just too many blankets. The bathroom was tiny, the service poor, and there was no private parking. I won't be back.
