“Small is beautiful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2006

people found this review helpful

I was in Hotel Rua Villar two nights, 20 to 21 April 2006. It is a small hotel made of a old house in the historic center of Santiago (very close to Cathedral), but with all the modern comfort: a wonderful room, with good furniture, LCD TV, Internet ADSL (it was important to me because I had to work at my portable computer), CD/DVD player, air conditioned, a very good bathroom... We were in a room with balcony (with windows), where there were a small table with two chairs what was very nice to stay there and feel the life of Santiago. It is important that the hotel is situated in a street without cars - pedestrian street, so it is very quiet at night and animated during the day. The breakfast buffet is of good quality and above average considering the small dimensions of hotel. The staff is really helpful and nice, making us feel very comfortable. I would sum up saying that is a hotel very different from the big and impersonal hotels. By the contrary, this is a beautiful hotel, very comfortable too, located in a unique place, with personal attention from staff, well decorated, very quiet. A place to remember and if possible to go back...

Stayed April 2006, travelled on business

“Excellent boutique hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2005

I had visited Santiago in 2002 and stayed in the Parador but I considered it now to be overpriced. I found the Hotel Rua Villar (located in Rua do Villar, a few steps from the Cathedral) through a review in the NY Times. It is a lovely boutique hotel. My room (I think it was #13) was a double with walls with exposed stones and very modern bathroom. The hotel has A/C which came in very handy since I was in Santiago during a heat wave and it was very hot.

The breakfast was included and although not great it was satisfactory. The staff was very nice and helpful.

The location was great, a few steps from the cathedral. The room was well insulated from noise but if I tried very hard I could hear the bells from the cathedral. My room looked to the pedestrian Rua Do Villar and had a nice french balcony with geranium boxes. I paid 110Euros for a double, single occupancy.

I would definitively stay there again. Highly recommend it.

This hotel was absolutely the best. In a wonderful location, modern conveniences, and right in the center of the city. Rooms were clean, staff was friendly, wished they had known more English, but we survived. Would highly recommend this hotel.
