Hotel is in a central location with shops and bars nearby. Hotel was clean and staff were very helpful. The only negative was that the room is quite small but this is common in city centre hotels.

A beautiful, unique, boutique hotel on the edge of the action, walkable within minutes to bars, restaurants and of course the cathedral. Quiet and restful. Very friendly staff, cozy and tastefully decorated rooms, yummy breakfast. I would definitely stay there again.

A small but perfectly acceptable, clean room at a wonderful price in a great location. My only complaint was the room smelled of very strong floral perfume that gave me a headache. Had to sleep with the windows open.

The Mapoula is very comfortable and clean. My daughters and I shared a triple room and there was enough room for us all to move about easily. The toilet/showerroom was spacious and very well kept with plenty of fresh towels. We had little interaction with staff, only check in & out. Both were polite and well informed. An excellent base in the centre of the city.

We are a family of 5 and stayed in the family suite. The rooms were excellent, perfect size, had A/C, and each had their own bathroom. The breakfast was robust- many options including eggs, cheeses, meats, baked goods, fruit, juices, and fresh coffee. The location is perfect!! Close to everything or a 9-min walk to the train station to explore. Totally recommend this place!

I will stay here the next time I'm in Santiago 100% for sure! The staff is very helpful in accommodating, The Breakfast were phenomenal, in the rooms were very clean and modern! I love the fact that I had my own air conditioner that I could control while I was in my room. They have the best laundry service I have come across in a hotel in a long time. And finally the location, this place is located just a few blocks away from the cathedral a couple blocks away from where a lot of the tour companies pick up, and right in the heart of a lot of good restaurants.

Though the rooms are small, they mostly face away from the busy roads and alleys around Plaza de Galicia. The air conditioning functioned very well and the bed was comfortable. The automatic card tap entrance was convenient. Probably best for only one traveler at a time but was an excellent experience.
