My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, with a well-done minimalist decor, but there was a persistent sewage smell that even hours of ventilation couldn’t fix, and the room felt dark and dingy with bare concrete walls. On the bright side, the service was top-notch, with staff being very helpful and accommodating. The location was a mixed bag; while it offered a perfect spot at the top of the Reina Victoria funicular with breathtaking views, there were some cleanliness issues like dirty glasses from the night before. Dining was a delightful experience with a variety of fresh and delicious options. Overall, a stay with mixed feelings but memorable moments.

The rooms were spacious, very comfortable, and the minimalist decor was well done, but there was a persistent sewage smell and the room felt dark and dingy with bare concrete walls. Unfortunately, my room faced an alleyway where people were literally having a party on my windowsill.

The location was both perfect and not so perfect. It offered a stunning view of the city and bay from the top of the Reina Victoria funicular, but there were cleanliness issues with unwashed glasses. The hotel is ideal for exploring the artistic wall paintings in the area and enjoying the nearby artist neighborhoods, restaurants, and sights.

I loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, right by the funicular and in the vibrant Cerro Allegre area. The rooms, although a bit dated, were surprisingly comfortable and cozy. Just remember, there are no lifts, so be prepared if you're on a higher floor.

The location couldn't have been better! Right next to the funicular, steps away from the cable car, and with beautiful views of Cerro Conception and the bay.

The dining experience was a bit hit or miss. Breakfast was great with made-to-order eggs, but it seemed a bit overpriced considering the quality.

The hostel had some drawbacks like dark rooms without proper windows and noise during the night but benefits from its location and helpful staff. The on-site restaurant El Internado is convenient, and the room service and transport services were well-organized.

Our room was a bit dark with no real window, just a light duct, and noisy at night, especially being close to the restaurant and reception area. It was quite a hassle carting our heavy luggage up to the room.
