Great location ten minutes walk from the railway station and five minutes walk from the nearest access to the old town. Clean well-appointed room and friendly staff. I'd absolutely stay here again.

The hotel is in a great location in Santiago, about 10 minutes from the Cathedral and near lots of retail and local shops and restaurants. Rooms were clean and bathrooms are modern. The receptionist helped us with transportation to the airport. Would definitely stay here again.

Lyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff is very nice and very helpful. The hotel is clean, small but nice. The breakfast is also good. You have Zara and Massimo Dutti right next to the hotel which is a sin. From the airport you take the bus 6A and the bus stop is just at the entrance of the hotel. If I come again I will definitely stay at Hotel Universal.
