Spacious room, nice view of, and walking access to, some serene wetlands along the river. Good breakfast. Several very good restaurants within walking distance. Across the river from the main part of Valdivia, so traffic was a litle less crazy in the immediate area.

What a beautiful hotel! The lovely verdant setting, the spacious and spotless rooms, and the attentive staff made my time at Puerta del Sur a pleasure! And the breakfast was delicious (especially the coffee -- strong and much needed!). I will definitely return on any future trips. Thank you for a perfect stay!

I haven't had the breakfast yet. I've only just checked in. The hotel receptionist was very welcoming and professional. Stunning location bedroom faces the river from above and it was a gorgeous sunset. Now expecting a fantastic dining experience at Botanica!

Since the change in administration I love this hotel Puerta del Sur. Friendly and respectful staff, good amenities, amazing views of the river and Cau-cau bridge. Good breakfast. No spiders and mosquitoes as it was in the past. I fully recommend this one special when you book thru Expedia, much cheaper than by the front desk.

Nice hotel with river view
Nice hotel with river view. They control the temperature of the room and mattress is just standard. You depend on other visitors behave since the acoustic isolation is not great but there's no street noise. The restaurant was not open but there are good options around 10 minutes walking. Overall, I would recommend it.

Beautiful property and view. Staff was so helpful and front staff even helped me print something I needed. There was a broken light in our room that they tried to fix but couldn’t. Staff was very prompt and explained they would fix it the next day after trying for about 20 minutes. Our adult kids loved the outdoor hot tub.

Expedia lies again! This is a nice clean property with nice sized rooms, wide hallways and wooded area surrounding property and plenty of free parking.
No business center, bellman,or concierge.
This is a solid 3 star hotel and it is fine. Why Expedia overrates this hotel is very misleading. Nicest part is the checkin desk has young university staff attending hotel mgmt school and actual try to help guests. Very refreshing!

Clean hotel and well located
But during our stay, an electricity shutfown occurs from 20:00 hrs until 12:00 am next day.
So I expected some courtesy from the hotel (discount or bonus for the next stay),but nothing of that happens.
