Hotels in Santiago - Prices and Reviews

Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2009, 5:14 AM We have arrived, still a bit confused from the flight and the time difference (5 hours ahead of LA), but we made it to our first point - Santiago Chile. We have been told it would be summer here during this time of the year, but nothing could prepare us for this incredible heat. Once we woke up from the a...

Whether it was just one day - it's a big question. All the takeoffs and landings, layovers and constantly changing time zones completely knocked the time dimension out of me. By the time I landed in Santiago in the midst of a hot summer day I was thoroughly disoriented. It started rather refreshingly though - I was awarded by magnificent view of...

After a fairly lengthy queuing process at the airport to leave Buenos Aires, we landed in Santiago, Chile at around lunchtime. Now for those of you who know my past history with missing and lost baggage, you will feel my anguish at the very unhappy news that my rucksack was not in Santiago when we landed ... as I was very mournfully filling out ...

Said goodbye to Ecuador on 8th September, and flew down to Santiago for a few days en route to New Zealand. I had to transit via Santiago in any event, so rather than 15 hours of hanging around the airport I opted for a 48 hour pass in the city. Santiago could be London, or New York, or Rome...any big city. Around 5 million inhabitants, all of w...

20 hours later we arrived in Santiago, dumped our bags at the hostel, had showers and headed out for food. We were all quite tired so didnt have a big night out, just went to a local restaurant for a surprise meal as none of us knew what we were ordering. Luckily they were all good. The following day we walked around town then through the studen...

After four thousand miles flying we I arrived to Santiago at 04:30 AM, to early to arrive a unkown country and without hotel and car reservation. We ate an american breakfast in the airport and walked the terminal many times until Rent a car office was open. I took a compact car to travel to Viña del Mar. Después de recorrer más de cuatro mil mi...

Hey On the morning Saturday the 11th of Nov I got a bus from Mendoza for 7 hours through the snow capped Andes to Santigao, the capital of Chile. The buses here are like a first class airline cabins and reclining seats and food and drink service - Bus Eireann have no idea !! Before I left the thought of getting a bus for any more then 4 hours wa...

Wednesday March 16th 2005 So arrived at 12.20pm, Wednesday 16th March - ie before I left, which is slightly bizarre, but due to me crossing the international date line, so I get Wednesday all over again. Despite numerous overtures from Taxi Drivers (the bus is not running, its too slow etc), catch the aeropuerto bus to Barrio Brasil - at a cost ...

Santiago wasn`t as terrible as I had been told by some people. But I was still restless, needing to keep the wheels moving. Casa Roja After running into Darren in Valparaìso I tried to make a reservation for Casa Roja. Things didn`t sound too promising when I spoke to the chick on the phone, but luckily when I showed up it was all good and my na...

The reason we chose Chile for our first bicycle adventure together was David and Michelle's wedding in Santiago. So, after all of that, we headed back up to Santiago for some fancy hotel sleeping and eating. Good timing, that's when my body decided to shut down for a 24hr bug. I'd rather be sick in a fancy hotel then in a tent! Unfortunly though...
