I hardly ever write a review on this because usually other traveller's reviews are accurate and I don't feel it necessary, but I thought this time I had to- to warn other people looking for a hotel in Santiago. Let's start with the positives: breakfast. Done. This "hotel" was obviously very SMALL studio apartments that have been "remodeled" to be... More

Gen Suites has over 300 rooms so if you are looking for small this isnt't the case. Having said that, the rooms are very large and all equipped with fridge, flatscreen tv and terraces. Some do also include a kitchen area with stove and microwave. The swimmingpool on the 25th floor isn't very large but the views of the city... More

Staying in Santiago with family whilst visiting son at uni here. Had checked out all other hotels and decided upon gen suites due to location (rooftop pool) and value for money. We wanted somewhere with a Chilean feel. On arrival, we were much earlier than the 4pm check-in, but the very helpful front desk allowed us to both rooms early... More

We checked in late and took the lift up to the 21st floor of this rather ugly concrete building. Having not stayed in an apartment before (the norm for Santiago) we were slightly bemused by the large kitchen lounge and tiny bedroom bathroom?? + if we have a fully functioning kitchen please provide more than one glass!! I'd advise staying... More

I hated the place. Rooms are rather large and they look as if they were decorated by Pedro Almodovar. Corridors and halls look like a university dorm. The carpet in my room was so dirty and with all sorts of stains that I really missed not bringing my slippers with me. Just terrible. The day I checked out I had... More

The hotel location is in a middle income neighborhood close to universities. The nearest restaurant/cafe area is Lastarria, about a 10 minute walk. The rooms are quite nice although basic. Kitchen facilities are good - Stove with oven, Microwave, small fridge, electric kettle and toaster. Breakfast in the hotel restaurant includes breads, fruit, juices, yogurts, meat + cheese, scrambled eggs... More

The hotel is really clean and the staff is all very polite and helpful. It's within a walking distance to Centro (downtown) and not far from the restaurants in Bella Vista and Providencia. Also close to a metro station. Breakfast is really good and my wife really enjoyed the medialunas there. The neighbourhood is good and there are street fairs... More

I did not like this hotel. There was no hot water and water was freezing. I went in June, their winter time. I would call to reception and no one answered. Also, I really didn't like that the person that restocks the mini bar just opened the door without knocking. I was changing and my wife was showering. I told... More
