Hotel Novotel Santiago Providencia

And so I was told ..... Saturday Feb 13th 2021, 17:00 arriving for check in. Queue of around 10 people. I asked a "security" guy that if there is a special line for Accor Gold members, I showed him my card and he said " that card is useless. Just queue up" ... I waited for my "turn" for 25 minutes and upon arriving at front desk I asked them if this Novotel honors the Gold card for check in. They said " of course, but nobody told us you are gold member " ... To which I replied " you must train better your staff" ... That security guy had an attitude of a night club guard rather than a hotel. Besides that, while at the queue, there was a table with Covid form to be "filled up by guest" (as per its tittle). I saw people at front desk took time to fill it up so I thought would be better to grab one and fill it up while waiting (so to save time). Again, the "friendly security " guy told me " what are you doing. This is not for you ", to which I said " this is the same form that people in front of me is filling up". His answer was " this is not for you " and rip it off from my hand.... Again, an attitude of a guardian dog rather than a bouncer, concierge or security guy at hotel ...... Having ruined our check in process, the staff at from desk, was profesional, fast and attentive. Basically doing their job professionally . This is a 2-3 years hotel. The room was ok for a Novotel, could not visit the spa or pool due to covid. Breakfast, as most places in Chile, was low quality, basic and with very little options. Long queue as well but this was due to covid restrictions and procedures.

Stayed 3 nights. The hotel was an easy walk to the Costanera Centre and to the Underground station. The staff were extremely helpful and made our stay (as non-speaking Spanish guests) more enjoyable by giving up advice and information and generally making our trip in Santiago much easier Room and facilities were good and breakfast had plenty of choices. Recommend the Turistek tour to Valparaiso.

Stayed here for 4 nights, and loved its position. Lots of reaturants and cafes right on the doorstep and only a 6 minute walk to the Costanera mall and Sky Costanerea. On the 5th floor of the mall you can find every type of restaurant or fast food outlet, then just outside the mall and round the corner is the stop for the TOURISTIK hop on hop off bus tour. The staff in the hotel were friendly, helpful and spoke great English. Our rooms were fine, clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this hotel as it is in a safe and convenient location, and good value for money.

Good option of hotel in Santiago, for business travel or with the family! Good price for the services offered. Location is very good, very kind and educated people, breakfast very good, with different types of juices, fruits, breads... swinging pool , gym great !

The property is relatively new and in a great location. The rooms are nicely appointed and with some nice views. Suites are spacious, if not massive. The service is great, staff members are genuinely happy to help. Would prefer more choice of fresh bread at breakfast. While the menu is not clear on gluten free options, once this requirement was explained to staff at the restaurant, they went above and beyond to help my travelling companion with this specific dietary issue.
