Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Santa Lucia

Hard to find. Staff were short and lacked direction skills, and un interested. Couldn't tell me where a bank cash machine was. Then restaurant staff treated me rudly.

Good

Super cool stay at the property nearby Plaza de Armas De Santiago

Unhelpful staff at reception, no lift within hotel, threadbare linen, unable to open window, superficially clean only, no drinking water or tea/coffee available. Did not look as advertised. Will no be back.

Good value for the money. Good for short stays and layover. At City Center and close to everything

All good things to say about Santa Lucia—comfortable, affordable, quiet, helpful staff. Everything a person looks for in an urban hotel experience

The first night we arrived we were put in a very rundown room,with very bright streetlights and no black out on the curtains.iasked for a better room and was given one and the experience improved, but staff were generally unhelpful, and did as least as possible to assist

Nice stay. Older building in older area. Rooms were small but adequate. Place was clean and staff was helpful.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast. Quiet and tranquil atmosphere

Close to everything

Too hot but can not open windows because noisy

I liked this hotel a lot. The location is great and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They also spoke english which made things easier for me. I arrived at night and the area was a littlecreepylooking, but when I came out in the morning I found myself in the middle of a bustling shopping area. There were shops and outdoor seating to eat and many venders. I felt very safe in this area and had many places to choose from to eat. The hotel is old and the pictures don't exactly match, but it's clean, it smells clean. My room was freshly painted and looked great in the sunlight. One negative would be that my mattress was lumpy, but I would stay again.

WE WERE VERY ILL WHEN WE ARRIVED AND THE STAFF WERE MOST HELPFUL IN STORING OUR MEALS OUT AND REHEATING FOR US AS WE COULD BARELY MOVE. BREAKFAST WERE EXCELLENT. I WOULD STAY HERE AGAIN.

very disappointing, we don't recommend it. PRO: location- only during the day. CON: VERYYY old facilities. poor internet connection poor customer service- I was talking to the receptionist and at the back there were 2 other people talking about us (one of us was a spinach speaker so he understood everything). poor facilities- no window or vent in the bathroom, two power outlets for a room of 3!! NO elevator! when you bring luggage up the stairway the way it's set up- it's a shame. cleanliness- it feels like its only superficial cleanings, under the bed, was dirty' the bathroom was full of mold and the smell was horrible. Thank god it was for one night only.

The hotel is in the middle of the city with an easy access to shops, stores and metro, only a couple of minutes from Plaza de Armas. It’s outdated but clean and the stuff was very friendly and caring and let us check in at 11 am instead of 3 pm absolutely free of charge. Our room on the third floor had a great view on a busy city street (which can be a problem at night because it was very noisy). Breakfast was very good as well (omelette, buns, meats and cheese, etc.). Overall the hotel was a great value.

The hotel was decent, staff super helpful and friendly. However, noise from the street annoying!

The hotel was dated and very worn out. An earlier reviewer discussed a helpful concierge - there was no concierge. We were a party of two couples, one with a room on the third floor and the other on the fifth. There is only elevator service to the fourth floor. So we had to carry luggage up/down stairs. There is no air conditioning in the building. The rooms were quite warm. Each room had a desktop oscillating fan, without which it would have been intolerable. The daytime highs while we were there were mid-90’s. I should have guessed the condition by the price. The website photos are not representative of our rooms, which were dowdy, and 1-star hotel quality. But clean.

The location was great. The room itself was clean and simple. There is some street noise but it did not bother us.

The Santa Lucia is in a very convenient downtown location. The hotel is very basic. You have to take an elevator to the 4th floor to get the the reception area. Most of the people at the desk do not speak English, so if you really need to communicate in English, this hotel would not be a good choice. There are no tissues provided so bring your own

When you make your reservation be sure to ask for a room on the quiet side of the hotel: the Avenida San Antonio generates a lot of noise
