Hotel Santa Lucia

This hotel is right in the city center, making it super convenient to visit places like Plaza de Armas, Santiago Cathedral, La Moneda Palace, and the Museum of Pre-Columbian Art—you can walk to all of them within two hours. There are also quite a few Chinese restaurants around; they're pricey, but it’s nice to get a taste of home. The hotel itself is a bit old with outdated facilities, but the rooms are spacious, and it’s perfectly fine for a night's sleep, especially given the good price. I was initially given a street-facing room which was too noisy, but the front desk was happy to switch me to a quieter one. A big shout-out to the front desk for preparing a packed breakfast for me since I had an early morning flight!
