Providencia Pensionen

Alle Mitarbeiter.innen (Empfang, housekeeping, Küche) waren äußerst hilfsbereit und erfüllten unsere Wünsche prompt. Unser Zimmer 904 DZ superior war groß, hell , mit getrenntem Waschbereich und Dusche/Wc im Bad. Die Betten samt Kopfkissen perfekt, das Frühstück grandios, Eierspeisen werden auf Wunsch frisch zubereitet man wird unaufgefordert gefragt. Eine Vielzahl an frisch gepressten Säften , frischem Obst, warmen Speisen, süßen Kleinigkeiten und diversen Kaffeespezialitäten ect. Die Lage des Hotels ist perfekt. Der Costanera Sky Tower ist fussläufig in 5 Minuten zu erreichen. Am Hotel rechts um die Ecke hält der Hop on - hop off Bus, mit dem man alle Sehenswürdigkeiten entspannt anfahren kann. Da unser Fug erst abends angesetzt war, fragte ich nach der Möglichkeit eines Late-Check-outs. Auch das wurde ermöglicht, bis 14 Uhr kostenlos, danach pro Std. 15 €. Dadurch war es ein entspannter Tag in Santiago de Chile und ein geglückter Transfer von Valparaiso zum Flughafen von Santiago de Chile.

We were in Santiago to meet new relatives who live there. For us, the location of the abba Presidential suites was perfect. We speak little Spanish but their front desk staff is bilingual so there was no problem for us. We were easily accommodated with early check-in for a dollars more, but that included their breakfast buffet which was perfect after the flights in from California. We went to the buffet a few times during our ten days there. They also serve dinner. The room was large, sunny, and very clean. The housekeeping was available daily if we wanted it, and very flexible with timing. The room has a safe, a kitchenette and plenty of sitting area to see friends and relatives, watch TV etc. While they provide an insta pot to boil water, there was no coffee or tea, sugar etc. we could have used a dishtowel and garbage can liners for wet trash. We know for next time. We will definitely be returning.

Erste Vegan-Bewertung. Meine Frau und ich sind Vegan und wir hatten nicht viel erwartet. Erster Tag hatten sie wenig Kartons Mandelmilch, aber nach diesem Tag hatten sie keine mehr. Sie haben verschiedene Früchte, Beeren, Cantaloupe, keine Bananen, das ist merkwürdig. und einige nicht frische Früchte wie Pinien in Sirup. Sie haben auch Kaffee und Tee. Oranges, die Sie mit heißem Wasser aus dem Nestle Kaffeemacher heißes Wasser machen können. Getreide wie Maisflacken und trockenes Brot. Badewanne geschlossen ”unter Wartung” schlechte Dinge: Zimmerschlüssel bleibe fehl. Muss es mehrmals reprogrammiert werden. Toilette schlägt nicht gut, musste es mehrmals tun. Seifenbaren sind klein und nicht sehr schwach. Kann das Wasser sein, aber nicht sicher. Kein kostenloses Kaffee im Zimmer, nur eine warme Wasser-elektrische Kettle Pros: Sauberes Zimmer. Guter Service. Über die Straße von einem Starbucks, Gemüsegeschäft. Gehstrecke von Bars/Restaurants. Insgesamt, eine gute Option für ein Budget-Hotel.

Wir haben 2 Nächte nach einer Kreuzfahrt dort übernachtet. Das Hotel liegt etwas abseits und man sollte schon gut zu Fuß sein, wenn man in die Stadt kommen möchte. Andererseits ist die Lage gerade in den momentanen unsicheren Zeiten wiederum optimal. Recht zentral aber doch weit genug weg und schneller Anbindung an die großen Strassen Richtung Flughafen. ;-) Das Hotel selbst ist sehr groß und unser Zimmer in der 3. Etage (359) relativ klein. Da wir gerade von einer 5 wöchigen Kreuzfahrt kamen hatten wir schon etwas Probleme die Koffer zu öffnen. Etwas unprofessionell fand ich, dass bei Ankunft die Badutensilien nicht vollständig waren. Shampoo und Bodylotion war vorhanden aber Seife und Duschzeug fehlte. Am darauf folgenden Tag war dann das Toilettenpapier nicht aufgefüllt und erst nach 3x nachfragen an der Rezeption kam noch welches. Wir haben 2 x in der Lobby gegessen und waren sehr zufrieden. Preise sind schon hoch aber für ein 5 Sterne Hotel angemessen. Frühstück draussen am Pool war etwas kühl aber das Ambiente schön. Hier sollte man ein stärkeres Auge auf das Buffet haben. Heruntergefallene Löffel (im Honig) oder sonstige ”Unfälle” werden kaum bemerkt. Ansonsten ist das Angebot nur normaler Durchschnitt für ein 5 Sterne Hotel aber die Bedienungen waren ausgesprochen zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Gefährlich fand ich den Fußweg von der Straße links und rechts hoch zur Eingangstür des Hotels. Durch die merkwürdigen Stufen und die gelben Streifen bin ich mehrfach fast gestürzt.

I loved this hotel! The staff was really wonderful and accommodating. Juan was at the front desk each morning with a greeting of ”Good Morning Madame.” Nicolas was very helpful in arranging my stay prior to the visit, which was helpful. Every staff member was really friendly and accommodating. They served a small breakfast buffet in the main level each morning, even cooked eggs to order if you'd like. I went to this country traveling as a solo female. This was a nice location because it's walking distance to several restaurants and a lovely park. I felt completely safe in the area. My favorite was the Peruvian restaurant! I had this amazing seabass dish with scallops and calamari with a sauce on top. This was all on a bed of risotto. Chilian wine...fantastic! I wasn't familiar with this region's wine and was surprised at how good it was. My meal, paired with a lovely Chilian Sauvignon Blanc Reserve was so delicious that I went back and had the same thing the next night. There is also a hill about a mile away that has the Christ statue, that is very walkable. There is a Japanese Garden on the hill. If you can't walk there, there is a funicular and the Uber car service worked just as it does in the US. One tip, if you're from the US or North, the maps will be backwards on Google. Just google directions to get them in the direction you're going. I got lost the first day until I did my Google search on how to fix. The only problem I had was the language. Very few people speak English. I even went to a restaurant, fine dining at a park, quite lovely, but nobody spoke English and the menu was only in Spanish. To make matters worse, my phone died! Be prepared with how to use Google Translate, that will help, but if your phone dies, you're dead in the water. I found it very hard to communicate with people, which would not have been as bad had I not been traveling alone. I found it to be very isolating. I even took a tour with an English-speaking guide. I thought great, now I can chat with people, but NO! It was a guide who spoke Spanish, then translated to Portuguese, then English. I was the only English-speaking person on the bus. The museums, a few are only available in Spanish so no point going to those if you don't speak Spanish. Other than the language barrier, I had a lovely time. My highlight was my hotel and the staff!

Das war nicht unsere übliche Wahl für Santiago, aber wir hatten in der Nähe Treffen und nahmen eine Chance. Die Nachbarschaft, in der Almasur wohnt, ist eine freundliche und freundliche Nachbarschaft mit einem charmanten Platz von Restaurants, Cafés und Bars. Es gibt ein paar private Schulen und Hochschulen, die Main Street ist mit Plane Bäumen gekoppelt und mit einer Atmosphäre eher wie Paris verbunden! Das Hotel ist brandneu und perfekt für Geschäftsreisen mit großen Zimmern. Die Café-Bar ist großartig für Arbeit und Treppe. Ich werde hier nochmal bleiben.

Meine Frau Alter 69 reiste über St. America 4 Monate insgesamt jetzt und ich 7 Monate, das ist wahrscheinlich “DER BEST VALUE ON A LIMITED BUGET HOTEL” ich habe hier jemals über, komm zu, ich hier reserviert, weil es in “South American 2021 Edition empfohlen wurde von *LONELY PLANET* Travel Advice Books on a Limited Budget. Wir haben hier für insgesamt 9 Nächte für $71 pro Nacht geblieben, mit einem großen kontinentalen Frühstück (siehe Fotos unten). Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich, vor allem NANCY (der fließend Englisch spricht), sie half uns mit allen Dingen, wie die Buchung billiger lokaler Taxis, Beratungsstellen zu gehen, Busse zu anderen Städten, etc. Die anderen Mitarbeiter, die alle aus Venezuela sind, obwohl nur Spanisch sprechen, sind alle sehr freundlich und rückwärts zu helfen, können Sie mit einem Translator App kommunizieren, schreiben in Englisch, konvertiert in Spanisch.

I was excited about staying in this new and modern hotel during my trip to Chile this month. I was ready to overlook the location- being far from the historic sites. The fact that the hotel is attached to a nice modern mall with a grocery store made it very appealing. However, the positive sides stop here, and I must mention that one of the doors, leading to the hotel from the mall wouldn't open- my card was working but the door was stuck. So, I had to go back 5 floors of escalators, exit the mall and walk into the hotel's street entrance- all this carrying a heavy bag with my purchases. The biggest shortcoming for this hotel is the Front Desk and the hotel’s concept that all guest’s calls have to go through the desk. And although the nice employees who work there try very hard, the desk is severely understaffed. I waited for a long time to check- in as there was only one person on duty. Someone else finally came to check me in. They say that the first impressions are very important and in this case they set the tone for my stay. Problems with logging into the internet( the employee who checked me in forgot to add me to the system) and the room TV that I had to solve right after I got into my room; even had go to the Front desk for because no-one picked up the phone. And all that after traveling for 24 hours and being very tired from my journey. This morning I again tried to get in touch with the Front desk for another issue, but again no one picked up the phone. I know that if I go to the desk I will have to wait for a very long time to be served only to be told that I need to wait in my room. Because of the many unlicensed taxis in Santiago, the hotel's staff told me at check-in that all trips should be arranged through- yes, you got it, through the Front desk! And what they do it reserve a vehicle and driver with a private company the hotel works with, for 4 times the price of a regular taxi. I used taxis a few times after that (the vehicles with the yellow roof), and didn't have any problems. So, it's the hotel that overcharges its guests with claims that all taxis in town are a scam. And yes, there is no direct phone for the housekeeping department, or for the restaurant, all calls should go through the Front desk, so expect that your call may not be answered on the first, or second try. The breakfast, although seemed plentiful and nice, is of a very low quality. The eggs were semi- raw, the quiche- a few days old. And so were all the pastries. The fruit consisted of a few chunks of what seemed like an old watermelon, wrapped in a small bowl. And at the end of each meal I was given a bill check to sign, even though breakfast was included in my room rate. What this meant was to urge the guests to give tip to the restaurant staff. My plans were to return for a few more days after I travel around Chile, but I cancelled my reservation and booked a different hotel. On the plus side, my room was large, the A/C worked well, beautiful
