This is typicaly what was pretty much the only place in town some 25 years ago. Great location, as downton as can be. The hotel is somewhat run down though it was "renovated" after the 2010 earthquake. Things like wifi, fuxtures, airco "almost" work. Front desk is ok but then, i didnt need much but, i use a respirator and... More

Let's start with the positive aspects: excellent location in center of town, huge suite on the nineth floor, perfectly cleaned by a friendly lady, convenient parking with friendly and efficient underground staff. On the downside: ugly facade of a commercial center makes the hotel entrance unattractive. Staff at reception does not make much effort to change that impression. The entire... More

The hotel is located right in the downtown, giving you the opportunity to get to know the center of the city and its people. It has been restored after the earthquake, with nice clean rooms, good Internet access, without being luxurious and keeping look and feeling of a traditional hotel. The restaurant was ok, but was disappointed that the buffet... More

Very good location, rooms are fine and spacious. Building is a bit dated but i am not sure what alternatives there are in Concepcion. The restaurant is also ole (traditional maybe). I had no complaints about this hotel when i stayed, as i say it may be one of the best options in Concepcion. To find a little nest of... More

This hotel is right off of the main plaza and very close to shopping and the central market. It is within walking distance (15-20 minutes) from the University. Very good service. Rooms were average. The hotel is nice but showing its age somewhat. Included breakfast was good. Annoying magnetic strip room keys kept getting scrambled every day (even being sure... More

Decent rooms and beds for an older, large hotel in a smaller city. Staff was basically non-existent during my 3-night stay, but somehow the rooms were kept clean and laundry was prompt. Good location in the centre of town, beside the town square and pedestrian mall, and within walking distance of the uni. Ate at the hotel restaurant one night... More

This hotel was clean, quiet and very comfortable. Parking is available and it's located right in the center of town, convient walking distance to shopping, restaurants and bars.

El Araucano is an old, some would say traditional, hotel in Concepción. The rooms are spacious, clean and have been renovated not long ago, but the building shows its age (particularly in stairs and windows). Location is good, just next to Concepción's main square. It is only one block to the city's old market, where it is possible to eat... More

Third visit -- 1983, 2001, 2007. Comfortable rooms, redecorated, good beds. Staff pleasant and bent over backward to be helpful, though my Spanish is better than their English. We did not ever get the wine and fruit the other reviewer did; perhaps we should mention that next time. We were there in a heat wave (80F every day) and very... More
