Moure Hotel

After a 24 hour journey from Canada, we were greeted by this gentlemen at the hotel Paulo. We are literary within our first hour in the city and he is so welcoming, friendly, patient….just a great brand ambassador of this hotel. The room we got #32 is devine. This is old town Santiago but it has been modernize,clean, and we have a soaker tub with a view of the city and a shower in the other part of the room. I typically wait until the end to write a review but my experience can only get better from here,

Stayed one night in the Moure hotel which was a most surprising place. I gathered from reviews and website it was of a modern minimalistic style but did not realise it was actually more industrial in style! The entrance is all bare concrete floors with a separate block as a step in one area and does not have a reception area as such just a tiny little office. However the warm welcome from the very friendly and helpful girl in the office put us at our ease immediately. Our double room was at the front, the doors to the rooms are bare prison like steel and the room was very sparsely furnished with a sliding panel on the wall housing an alcove with a few metal hangers for storage. In fairness pictures from website are very much curated and although everywhere is spotless they are not as comfortable as pictures suggest. I had read about the glass panel into the bathroom but the extent to which the occupant is on show was most alarming with the door into the bathroom also acting as the door to the shower and another glass panel to the side of the bedroom looking into the bathroom also! So don't stay here unless you are very well acquainted with your room mate! There was also a lot of noise within the building from other rooms as the partitioning walls seemed quite thin. The breakfast was mostly self service with one of the lovely staff serving if you needed toast or your crossiant heated. The selection was small but lovely with the most delicious brownies on offer. There was also a coffee machine which guests could use at any time which had excellent hot chocolate also, a very nice touch. Breakfast area is small with again spartan furnishing. In all just a step above hostel accommodation but with excellent friendly staff.

Booked direct with the hotel a few weeks before arriving. Communication was good and paid for the stay on check out. We had a double room with an ensuite shower and an outside bath (unfortunately, never got to use). The hotel and room are simple, modern and very clean. Welcomed on arrival and given a map of Santiago with recommendations on where to visit and where to eat. The hotel was well located with a 5 minute walk to the cathedral. There is a lovely restaurant close by called Guarm Bistro, turn right out of hotel and take the next road on the right and it's half way up the road on the right (I have also reviewed the restaurant on trip adviser). Breakfast was a simple continental style offering cereals, coffee, croissants, cheese, jam, etc. They also made thick doorstep toast using freshly baked bread and freshly squeezed orange juice, which was a really nice touch. On the morning of our departure the lady ordered us a taxi back to the airport. Overall, there were no complaints, and we had a pleasant stay in this lovely small hotel.

Fabulous boutique type hotel. Beautifully presented rooms…ours had a bath on the balcony ( totally private) which we had to try Great breakfast with plenty of choice. Our host Monica went above and beyond normal service… The hotel benefitted from not being in the busy streets but still close by to all the sights.We would definitely recommend staying here
