If you're looking for some kind of super-swanky, five star joint in Valpo...don't come here, go to Vina Del Mar and stay at the Sheraton. I wouldn't for all of the money in the world...Luna Sonrisa was exactly what made this town great. The staff was smart and cheery, and not at all in a put-on kind of way. The... more

My husband, infant daughter and myself felt disappointed by the state of the so-called 'exceptional self-contained luxury apartment' on the top floor of this hostal. We wished we'd stayed in Harrington (www.harrington.cl) .... true French-run luxury down the road for the same price. The apartment is worn and shabby.

Plus, Juan Carlos (like the King of Spain) was my wonderful contact at the hostel; he waited up for my arrival (after 11 p.m.), helped make... more

My sister and I stayed here for two nights, and we were happy to have splurged to get the 1-BR apartment. It's in the perfect location in town, on a steep and colorful cobblestone street in the heart of the World Heritage part of town. Our little apt had its own kitchen and bath, a high-ceiling living room, and a... more

The Luna Sonrisa is a lovely small hostal, with a dorm and a few private rooms. I stayed in a single room, which although small was comfortable and well-maintained. None of the rooms are ensuite, but as the hostal is so small sharing a bathroom isn't a problem. The hostal is on one of the main Cerros, and is close... more
