I stay here only because it is cheap and location is great. I have stayed 3 times here. I just stay there because it is a value place and we have a special rate for our company. Location is good, but service is mediocre. Every time I stay I run into trouble with maids or front desk. Elevators are very slow and maids and workers use the same elevator so plan for extra time for checking out as the maids wont move their carts out for you so you can get your bags in. Dont expect luxury or great service.

In December 2011 I´ve stayed for the 1st time in La Sebastiana Suites; my reservation was made through some local colleagues in Santiago.

The hotel is about 40 minutes from the international airport in Santiago in a safe, but very busy area.

As I arrived after midnight, my check in was quick. Two elevators take you up to your floor.
The room included bedroom, bathroom and a small fully equipped kitchen plus a balcony.

Whereas the bedroom was large, the bathroom could have been a bit larger.

The rooms were clean and nicely decorated - giving you a bit of a warm "home" atmosphere.
Besides a TV, you also find a nice stereo system for playing radio stations and your MP3s.
Also a small working table with chairs - in combination with a fast and reliable internet, this was ideal for office/computing purposes.

Breakfast:
The restaurant was very small; the breakfast buffet was very basic and limited.

A small convenience store can be found next door to the hotel; a supermarket is just 5 minutes away. A Peruvian restaurant with delicious food is just around the corner; other restaurants in easy walking distance; also public transport.

Negative: The bathroom requires some maintenance; also the finishing on the balcony:
the weather has ruined painting and floor out there.

On the top floor, you find a very small pool and a sundeck.
Nice - but not inviting, because it didn´t look very clean.
Also this level requires some maintenance as it is worn (painting; floor).

The hotel itself has no gym - but provides a day-ticket for aprox. 8-10 USD for the "Energy" gym which is across the road and is nicely equipped.

In general: a nice place with a good price-performance ratio for Santiago;

I booked this hotel on expedia, a week before i arrived. when i got to the hotel they said there wasnt a reservation. it turns out that the hotel no longer accepts bookings via expedia even though the hotel is listed on the website.

The aparthotel is very well located in the business district of Santiago, close (100m) to a underground station. The staff is very friendly and English-speaking. Apartments are nice, maybe the bedroom is a bit tight but cleanliness is perfect, an Internet is stable and fast.
The common area on the top floor is nice even if nothing special, the main reason to go there is the view on the business district. There is a microscopic pool on the roof, that at the time of my visit was empty.
Buffet brakfast is ok.
When I had to move to other aparthotels, I felt that probably La Sebastian was the best one amongst the one I experienced. Why ? Hard to explain, but the overall level is very good.
