The location was ideal - Templeman Street offers so much... dining, boutiques and best of all street art in every direction - up, down, north, south, east and west! The room, bath and beds were beyond comfortable and the decor delightful. A delicious breakfast along with warm and welcoming staff greeted us each morning. If you are lucky enough to visit Valparaiso, be sure to stay at Puerta Escondida!

This hotel was the perfect location for my short stay. I wish I had more time in Valparaiso! The room was bright and quiet, the shower was fabulous, breakfast was plentiful and full of choices, and the location of the hotel was right in the middle of the artist section. Everything I wanted to see and do was in walking distance! The hotel staff was helpful, engaging, and made me feel absolutely at home. I would return to the hotel in a heartbeat :)

Great hotel for short stay in Valpariso,Chile.
We stayed upstairs in larger room. King bed,lots of Windows ,in great location. Violet was a fabulous manager. She helps gladly with everything. Breakfast nice. Can be a bit noisy on a warm nite when you have to open windows on front facing rooms but still worth it! The city is fabulous and can be seen by walking.

Convenient and comfortable small hotel
This is a nice small hotel and a great base from which to visit Valparaiso. The staff is warm, friendly, and very helpful. The free breakfasts are very good. There are many fine restaurants a short walk away. The Ascensor is only a block away which eliminates climbing the steep hill from the downtown commercial area.

Very Comfortable B&B with a Wonderful Staff
After a very long journey to reach Valparaiso, we were delighted to reach our hotel room and be greeted by a very friendly hostess who allowed me to check in early. The room was very clean and very nice sporting wooden floors, a wonderful shower, and a very comfortable bed. I felt very cozy staying there and it was a joy to return after a long day of exploring all that Valparaiso has to offer. Scrambled eggs is, to my understanding, not a typical Chilean breakfast, but because the lady who served us breakfast knew we were from the US she would make them for us. This was a sweet gesture and made the breakfast remind me of home. We were also served bacon, bread, meats and cheeses, yogurt, fruit, coffee, and juice. I was quite unhappy with myself when one morning I found that I slept right through breakfast. Puerta Escondida is between Cerro Concepcion and Cerro Alegre which is a great spot for tourism and experiencing the city. Less than a five minute walk away we enjoyed fantastic sushi, ice cream, pastries, and of course empanadas. Our hostess was great in pointing out good local spots to visit and loaning us an umbrella when it was pouring rain outside. If we visit Valparaiso again, and I certainly hope that we do, I will most certainly stay at Puerta Escondida a second time.

Nice B&B in Valpairiso
This is a nicely maintained facility the appears to have been remodeled or renovated not long ago. The people were very nice and accommodated our early arrival. The room was clean and comfortable with good quality beds. The bathroom had also been updated with attractive tile and a spacious shower stall. Breakfast was excellent with eggs cooked to order, bacon and toast. I would highly recommend this B&B .

Great B&B, Good Location, Wonderful Staff!
Wonderful place to stay for a few days exploring the town. We left the cruise ship early in the morning, got a taxi to our B&B knowing checkin was much later in the afternoon. We were welcomed with big smiles as if we were family, served coffee and offered breakfast, all the while the gal was trying to make arrangements for our room to be cleaned first. Needless to say, we checked in several hours earlier than the official time. The owner, Andreas, is a real gem and helped me with several tricky calls to Canada to change flights etc. He speaks excellent English, is very knowable, and went out of his way, as did the two other staff members, to make our stay memorable, stress free and fun! The place is very clean, the breakfasts are great, the interaction with the small staff is excellent, and the smiles and laughter are plentiful. The bathrooms are modern and meticulous with huge towels, and a good shower with lots of water pressure. The B&B is in a fabulous location and walking everywhere is easy and fun. We`d go back in a heartbeat and stay with Andreas every time. Please get in touch Andreas, and thanks for the ride to the airport. You`re a real champ!

Great Bed and Breakfast in a Good Location
There's really nothing bad to say about Puerta Escondida. There is a good chance Americans staying in Valparaiso for the first time will be a bit shocked by the graffiti and dirty streets, but PE can't be held responsible for all of that. The hotel interior is very clean and the furniture is comfortable and high quality. I mentioned the graffiti, but as far as I can tell, that is universal in Valparaiso and it doesn't mean PE is in a dangerous neighborhood. In fact, the location is actually pretty good in terms of quick access to the bus system and lots of good restaurants and cafes and such in the immediate area. The staff was great - very polite and accommodating, and they spoke great English. I never had a bit of trouble communicating and they threw in some nice touches like emailing the day before to see how things were going and when I might show up. They were very flexible on arrival and departure times (maybe it is different during peak travel season). Finally, the breakfasts were pretty good too. Simple fare, but filling (in fact, they basically bring bread until you can't possibly eat anymore) and tasty. They also had good, free, wi-fi.

Great B&B in the heart of Cerro Conception
We were attracted to this hotel by a picture of the exterior and the high ratings. There is no place quite like Cerro Conception (Cerro = hill) for the abundance of street art and palate of colors on the building facades. This is a small hotel, 5 rooms, owned by a young man, who seems anxious to please his guests. He, Andreis, speaks pretty good English and helped us book a bus trip to the South (Temuco). The rooms have 12 foot ceilings, polished floors, with small, but modern bathrooms. After our trip South, we plan to return here, rather than spend the night in Santiago. There are lots of fine restaurants just a few blocks away, including Turri. Within a few blocks you can take the ascensor down to the city center. I should add that there is little traffic, so it is quiet.
