I was really impressed by the Hostal Mexico. I couldn't get the online booking form to work so booked directly with the hotel by phone but still received the online rate. This hotel was approximately half the price of most others in Santiago (many of them with a lower star rating) for a single room and so I was very impressed with what I got. The room was spotlessly clean as were all public areas. The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot and powerful and the breakfast, although small, was fine. There was also a free safe in the room.
I had initially debated over booking this hotel as it is not located in the historic part of the city but it is only about ten minutes on foot to the old town and it is located in the main shopping area of the city. I would definitely stay there again.
