Delightful hotel. Beautiful courtyard, very friendly and helpful staff. Good public spaces. The room wasn't that big, but that was not a problem. Nice big windows and high ceilings. The hotel is a short walk from a main pedestrian street. The street is busy, but inside the courtyard, you don't hear the noise at all. It really is a delightful... more

A charming, cozy, little hotel, with a very helpful and friendly staff and located in a very convenient part of the city. Even when the building faces a very busy street (where the incessant vehicle flowing and brusque driving style can grate at your nerves), the traffic noise stops strictly at the hotel's door and does not permeate the oasis... more

Beautiful hotel, but felt unhappy about the final invoice. We had put some of our laundry items into the hotel service and they decided to charge us $12.000 Chilean Pesos, only for a handful of items. DO NOT USE THE LAUNDRY SERVICE unless you want to get shafted. Also, when we arrived it was at 7am, the hotel served us... more

We let these guests check in five hours early, without any charge, but we draw the line at giving them free breakfast as well ! Sorry, but we don't serve two nights' worth of breakfast for a one night stay....

John and his wife are lovely and really helpful. The hotel is one of those amazing Chilean buildings that hides a pretty courtyard and rooms behind an unprepossessing front door. They also have private, secure off-street parking which is crucial in La Serena. It's on a busy street but once inside you can't hear the traffic and it's an easy... more

We think Hotel Del Cid was fantastic value for money and due to the great advise given to us by John ( owner/manager)about what to do and what not to do in La Serena we decided having travelled the length of Chile that La Serana is the lovliest city in Chile to visit. Room was clean and comfortable and there... more

This small Chilian hotel is the best value we have ever expereienced. The rooms are small but spotlessly clean and comfortable. Lovely courtyards to relax in. They offer a generous breakfast and best of all extremely accommodating host and hostess. This is a great location, La Serena is a lovely city with with lots to see and do. The hotel... more

I showed this review to my wife, and she was so pleased with it...we aren't the biggest or best hotel in town, but our aim is for people to remember La Serena in a positive way. Thank You for taking the time to give us such a good writeup, I only hope we can live up to it in the...
