If you are on your way to Valparaiso for a cruise, or want to visit Valpo, stay in Vina del Mar and stay at the Genross. Valpo can be treacherous for the traveler, especially if you don't look like you're from Chile. You need to guard yourself and your possessions quite closely in certain parts of the city, especially at... More

Just a half block up the hill from the midst of the loud, busy craziness of downtown Vina del Mar sits this little gem of a restored, cozy and quiet small hotel. It's more of a B&B run by a really friendly, welcoming English-speaking couple (Brian is Canadian, Lya Chilean) who are available for advice, directions, even the occasional glass... More

We spent just two nights in Vina at the Genross. The location is great, right in the downtown area, close to everything and very handy for the Metro and restaurants are just a few mins walk away. We were 'fortunate'? enough to experience our first ever earthquake here so we will never forget the place! Brian was a charming host... More

We could not have found a more perfect place to spend our time in Vina del Mar. This beautiful Victorian home was a quiet, peaceful haven in an otherwise bustling city. Brian and Lya could not have been more generous, helpful hosts. We felt right at home. They made every aspect of our stay comfortable and helped us in situations... More

Having checking TripAdvisor reviews, I thought the Genross would be perfect to 'recharge my batteries' after a week of serious wine tasting! By car, the Genross is easy to find from Valpariso direction but relatively tricky from Concon or Limache so best to get directions in advance. However, there are plenty of buses and taxis available, if needed, plus the... More

We stayed for 4 nights with Brian and his wife and loved every minute of our stay. It was such an honour to meet such lovely people and for them to open up their home to us. The house was beautiful and I would have been happy to relax there all day! However we also found Vina del Mar to... More

The Genross B&B was a perfect start to my Chilean vacation. Brian was waiting for me when I arrived at the front gate, and was full of advice and conversation all during my stay...and it was very helpful to get all the hints in English! Brian and LuzMary are very congenial hosts, asking when you'd prefer breakfast and what you'd... More

My daughter and I stayed two nights in early December and it could not have been more perfect. The location, though convenient to downtown, is quiet and serene. The owners are the nicest people and we spent hours engaged in interesting conversation in both English and Spanish. The building itself is beautiful and is a beautifully restored Victorian home with... More

Hotel Genross, actually a B&B, is in a lovely 100 year old villa, tastfuly decorated and very comfortable; the hosts, Brian a Canadian and Lya his charming Chilean wife make you feel at home from the moment you arrive and are always there to assist and advise on local arrangements. It is a 20 minute walk to the sea side... More
