False representation of hotel
There was no shuttle available, the neighborhood was questionable and we watched a guy get mugged at the corner as we were arriving by taxi. When the front desk finally found our reservation and gave us the room key we found two shabby beds and a dirty bathroom. We asked for a different room with a king or queen, which we had originally requested and were told none available. We took our bags and jumped in the next cab. We did not spend the night and We do not recommend it.

Nice hotel stay
Room was great! Was clean and comfortable but, the bathroom was very small. Hotel service was very good and they spoke a little english. Breakfast was great and food was very good. Neighborhood was good but it has a lot of graffiti and does not look like a desirable area, but it was a good area. Friends live in this area so I had a understanding of the area.

Nightmare
We took a room with 1 hour in advanced and got to "Hotel Gen" expecting a 4-star accommodation. - First issue: nobody from the hotel was in the lobby (yes: nobody). We were received by a friend (yes: a friend) of the person in charge of the lobby. The "friend" said us that he works for a building close to Hotel Gel. We waited 30 minutes to start our check-in - Second issue: check-in. The person in charge of the check-in was not able to find our Expedia reservation. He tried for 30 minutes and finally, let us go to our "4-Star" room. He was rude and with poor experience using a computer - Third issue: room: I should take pictures. The most terrible "4-Star" room I've ever seen. - Third issue: check-out: The next morning, a new person in charge of the lobby asked us for a credit card because they have never received a confirmation from Expedia. Yes, I paid twice. Please, avoid this place.

Nice reception but hotel need some maintenance
About 15 min walks from Central historical area, the neighbourhood didn't feel safe in the evening and can be a bit noisy. The hotel can organise airport transfer with their own taxi but it is really overpriced however, the staff at the reception were very helpful in giving me direction to the center and how to get the airport bus. The view of sunset from the rooftop terrace is absolutely magnificent but general maintenance of the building and amenities should be improve, wouldn't consider it a four star, still a comfortable and not somewhat centrally located hotel.

Hotel is near the old downtown convenient to metro
This is an older property and Santiago is pretty damp. That means that there was mold on the walls in the bathroom and the shower stall wall in the unit we occupied. However, the staff were extremely helpful and overall the property was clean. It is convenient to the metro and some of the points of interest like Sta. Lucia were within walking distance if you don't mind walking. We were there during the earthquake and saw no relevant damage (it was a 7.0 in Santiago proper). That is a good thing, of course. The after shock we experienced in the hotel later that night was pretty strong but the building rolled with it fairly well. It was fine for what we wanted - i.e. close to many of the sites. Overall, a good stay.

So disapointing! never again
Very disappointed. We expected quality and service of a 4 star hotel, as mentioned on the website. It looks good on photos, but reality is not same at hotel. The first room we were given was smelling very bad. it was not possible to change. We contacted hotel.com gold members service, who did their maximum to contact the hotel, but nobody answered the phone. there was very often nobody at reception either... The bathroom are old, dirty, fongus molds in the joints,taps almost broken, old towels almost grey / yellow instead of white... not the standard of a 4 star, only of a 2 stars maximum. The check out was the most slow i had in chile...

Ok for one night
Pro: Front desk very good with getting checked, setting up a ride to the airport, and storing our luggage until time to leave. The breakfast was very good. Comfortable beds, clean rooms. Con: Bathroom sink faucet was loose, and the floor of the shower extremely slippery. Lighting in the rooms was terrible, no light in or near the closets. Street noise interfered with sleeping. Hot tub water was cold, and not usable. Concern: The terrace on the 25th floor provided a beautiful view of the city, but the railing was only about 3ft high. We booked 2 rooms through Hotels.com for a special rate. We were expecting one of the rooms to be a queen or king, but instead it was two singles.

Excellent First Night in Santiago
We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Gen. We felt that the staff was super friendly and always went above and beyond (in particular they were really great with my 5-year old). The bed was super comfortable which is what we needed after traveling for over 24 hours to get to Santiago. The breakfast was delicious in the morning. We would definitely stay again.

Weird area. Hotel ok except bathroom.
This hotel was ALRIGHT for the price, and we were only staying one night so cared more about price, but I wouldn't recommend the location. Also the shower door didn't close so it was impossible to shower without water getting all over the floor and the light bulbs were out in the bathroom so we couldn't see. We did tell the front desk and a service person came, but then he left and never came back to do anything.

Pictures are very deceiving
Looked like a nice clean hotel from the pictures. Once we got there it was so badly maintained. Water damage everywhere, pool is murky water with dead flys everywhere, gym was a joke with the equipment falling apart. The only thing i could say that was good at this place was the breakfast. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't make it out to like like a 4 or even 3 star hotel

Nice enough hotel, noise a potential problem
I had one good night and one nightmarish night for my 2-night stay. The room and breakfast are good about what you would expect for this price (my only very minor complaint about the room itself is not having coffee/ tea-making services in the room). The front desk was nice enough in-person, but never responded at all to my email requests (don't bother asking about the 'shuttle' service from the airport, as it costs more than a taxi, by the way!). The nightmare aspect comes from noise -- and noise that is from neighboring buildings. It's a long story, but I would STRONGLY urge anyone noise-sensitive in the slightest to stay away from this hotel during weekends or holidays, as there is no conceivable way to escape the booming all-night bass parties during those times.
