We will always remember our ten wonderful days at Hotel Rugendas in the sophisticated Las Condes area of Santiago de Chile. The hotel is very modern and immaculately clean. Our room had a very comfortable king size bed. I opened the room's many windows to enjoy the lovely, tree lined streets of Las Condes and the bird songs each morning. Rugendas has everything a North American would want in a hotel, but the staff here is why we can’t wait to return. We got to know Victor Rodriguez at the front desk, and Luis Pavez in the restaurant-bar and they are as charming and helpful as any hotel staff we have ever experienced. The Rugendas is very near Metro stop El Golf, Teatro Municapal de Las Condes and some of Chile’s best restaurants. The breakfast is European, but it is much more than rolls and cheese. There are always freshly cooked scrambled eggs (real ones), thinly sliced fried ham, an abundance of fresh fruit and fruit juices, dulce de leche and jams, in addition to their very delicious meats and cheeses and great coffee. We looked forward to breakfast every day, and usually a quiet cocktail with fabulous salmon ahumado in the evening. A very modern, well maintained exercise facility and computers with internet access are complimentary, and for a small charge you can have wi-fi in your room. Visit them at www.rugendas.cl.

I stayed here for 10 night for $150 a night, in two different rooms. Both rooms were spacious, nice, and clean. Staff was polite and helpful. Good location in quiet neighborhood, close to subway station.

On the negative side, service at front desk and breakfast buffet was at times a bit sluggish. It seemed they sometimes just didn't have enough people at the front desk and the check-in process was inefficient. Bathroom tiles could use some Tilex. And the rate seemed a little high for this hotel, but I do not know the typical rates in Santiago.

A small hotel in a quiet residential neighborhood. The staff was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was inexpensive for lunch with a large salad buffet, plus menu items. The breakfast was great. The rooms were large and well appointed. Modern, comfortable mattress and nice bathroom. Elevators were fast and quiet.

We stayed at Rugendas many times because they have corporate rate with some companies. It's an afordable 7 floor hotel with nice room, good breakfast included and it's near a subway station (golf). Also, you are at a walking distance of the street "Isidora Goyenechea" witch you can go for a nice restaurant or fancy nightlife.
