As indicated in many of the other reviews this is an older hotel which has given its rooms a more modern decor makeover (bright colours etc.). The rooms were comfortable and clean and the staff were very helpful in suggesting places to eat etc. The location is a bit far from the main tourist locations, but the up-side of this... more

Fundador in just on the downtown of Santiago, a perfect position if you have to work there. By night it is not the safest place of Santiago but who knows, you can meet the thiefs everywhere. The hotel is old but reformed. The "new" decoration is dubious, I don't like it. The breakfast is not bad and, with some exceptions,... more

The location is not bad. But it's a old hotel. The rooms are ok but the business center and the restaurant are terrible. There's many tourists...too much noisy. more

The hotel is situated right by the main shopping area and you can walk anywhere from it.

The hotel has a very good location, It is located at Paris-London neighbourhood, a very beautiful one. But it is essentially old, it is being slowly refurnished. Rooms are nearly destroyed, elevators are old. The AC does not run very good. Breakfast is very poor. more

We had hardly place to put our luggage. The airco was very noicy. But this was nothing compared with what we experienced at dinner. We choice... more

We stayed at the Fundador in two different occasions and it has been a very nice surprise. the hotel was much better than expected. we have slept the first time in a standard room (nr. 520), recently renovated, very spacious and confortable. on the second time, they offered us (for no surcharge) a suite (nr. 220) which was as new... more

The hotel has great potential for being a nice and comfortable hotel, but beware of its flaws before you book this place. 1) Cost -- bogus deals Following an overnight trip, we arrived early at our hotel and were informed that to check in early, we would be charged US$50 extra and that it's standard policy (there's no mention of... more
