"solo rescatar lugar limpio ,duchas con limitación de tiempo (excesivo de corto y presionar a cada momento para poder ducharte ) agua menos que tibia ,almohadas incomodas y lo peor música y conversación en su terraza mientras tiene pasajeros toda la noche , que no dejaron dormir bien en toda la noche ... sin estacionamiento te deriva a un estacionamiento que te cobra $ 8.000 por noche ,.. sus dueños trato cordial nada que decir ..

"The hostel is located near the market, which makes the area feel unsafe at night. The staff and volunteers were inattentive. The rooms are very dark and overcrowded with too many beds, leaving little space to move around or store luggage. There is only a small window, which doesn’t provide enough natural light or ventilation. Although there are a few seating areas, they feel cramped and are furnished with unattractive furniture. I do not recommend this hostel."

Hotel Diego de Almagro La Serena Express

Hotel Diego de Almagro La Serena Express

8/10 Good
"El servicio del personal del desayuno excelente. Lo mejor del hotel. Quiero destacar la labor de Mónica, cuyo profesionalismo, abnegada dedicación al trabajo, atención personalizada a los clientes, cordialidad y respeto, sobrepasan con creces el estándar de atención en este tipo de servicios. Lo peor sin duda alguna fue el personal de recepción. El uso del sauna lo manejan a su discreción y antojo. Estuve cinco días y sólo lo pude utilizar dos veces. Las otras veces que lo solicité me lo negaron pues decían que ya estaba reservado, lo que era falso. Observé desde la piscina su uso y nunca vi a nadie entrar. Probablemente en los cinco días solamente lo usé yo un par de veces y tal vez algún otro pasajero lo pudo usar después de insistir con los recepcionistas. En verdad, lo encontré inédito. Primera vez que me pasa. Las instalaciones del sauna son excelentes, cinco estrellas, pero poco y nada se utilizan, por causa de estos personajes de la recepción. Lo último: ojo con el agua caliente en el baño de la habitación. No es posible darse una ducha con agua caliente. Los recepcionistas dijeron que estaban todas las calderas operando y que el sistema no daba más. No lo creo y si fuera así la administración debiera resolver a la brevedad esta situación. También es primera vez que me pasa esto."
