San Nicolas

A charming building. We did have trouble finding the entrance. A passer-by showed us the buzzer. We ate at the adjacent restaurant which was super convenient and had superb food.

A lovely place to stay. Very welcoming. Typically Spanish. Beds were very comfortable. No complaints. Loved Santiago! Parking was tricky so make sure that when you park, DO NOT park in the green areas. I misheard the instructions (which is easy to do when you are deaf and tired from traveling), so park carefully. Please try the restaurant in the shared courtyard. Simply excellent quality food and reasonably priced.

The San Nicolas was absolutely breathtaking when I walked in. The entrance was unassuming but when I stepped in I felt transported back in time. It truly was a wondervul three nights. Thank you Alejandro...

Beautiful historic building that has been meticulously maintained. Alejandro truly goes above and beyond to look after guests and make sure their stay is perfect. The hotel is a little outside of the historic center, but the short walk is worth it. Would recommend / stay again.

Wonderful stay, place was spotless and charming. Very close walk to the center. Host and cleaning girl very very friendly and accomodating. We would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to book a stay in Santiago!

An excellent small hotel with a most professional helpful and friendly owner

San Nicolas is a period property that has been nicely renovated but left with it's old world charm. Alejandro is a true gentleman and couldn't have been nicer. It is not hard to get to and is a short walk from Praza de Galicia (less than 10 mins) which is a main stop on the 6A bus from the airport (1 euro for bus). The hotel (more like an Inn) is at the bottom of a hill so if any mobility issues it could be a bit tricky but there are less direct, less steep hills going back to the old part of the city. The room has a fridge, kettle and a great shower. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. There is a cafe just around the corner and is open 7 days for breakfast and Coffee and an egg tapas is around 1.80 euros. There is also a grocery store very close which is open Monday thru Saturday. The restaurant attached to the hotel is busy so advise reservations. There is no aircon but fans are available. Would have liked a small terrace but no problem as did not spend that much time in the room. 7 to 10 minute walk to the original gate of the old city and from there just explore. Was raining on our last day and Alejandro let us stay on past checkout which was a big help. Will return again.

Really enjoyed our stay here… a little off the beaten path and uphill walkable to the old town in 15 minutes. Owner was really friendly and able to answer all our questions… the inn is very quiet. The attached restaurant was fantastic. I would stay again.

Casa San Nicolas is truly unique. Historical building with very comfortable rooms. Close to centre of Santiago (pleasant 15 min.walk). Alejandro is such a thoughtful host. Already planning a return visit.
