Ultramar Hotel is bright, clean and wonderfully situated to really see Valparaiso. It is above the hustle bustle of the commercial-business district and the touristy area above the harbor. From the lovely terrace, you can look over all the city and up to Vina del Mar. Furnishings are spare, but still is is a comfortable place from which to explore... more

Buyer beware! Booked this room through Expedia and was given a reasonable rate. However, when we got there, we were told that Expedia made a mistake on the reservations, but everything would be ok. The hotel is located on a hill and neighborhood that it is in is questionable especially if you are concerned about your safety. Taxi cab fares... more

We are really sorry for the inconviniences caused. As our rates are clearly published at expedia.com, we kindly ask you to check your booking print out, to probably find out there was a mistake with the booking. Regarding to the neightberhood, you should know that our neighborhood is particularly save. As a matter of fact Cerro Carcel is one of...

We thought it was a fine hotel, small and luxurious, a spectacular view of the hills and ocean, and very friendly staff. Others have commented about the location, and that it is hard to walk up and down, maybe they didn't know about the collectivos that take you where you want to go, up or down the hills, for about... more

It wouldn't have been my choice, booked by travel agent. In the end the friendly young staff triumphed and xchanged my mind. Its hilly location is easily reached by cheapm share taxi from town and the noise of the road and dogs vanishes at night. A bit dead around the area so you need to travel into town to eat... more

This is not a luxury hotel and has no pretentions to be one. It does offer a reasonably sized room, simply furnished and clean, comfortable beds, a good breakfast and a lovely view of Valparaiso Bay, if not from your room, then from the deck on the main floor (the salvage operation next door excluded). It does not have a... more

This is an excellent place to stay in Valparaiso. The staff is very friendly, most of them speak English and would go far to help you. We visited with two kids and they were willing to accommodate every need(laundry at the last minute, reservation for a restaurant). Spectacular view of the bay (except for the backyard of the neighbor, which... more

This was a last-minute find on our trip to Chile. We loved the way that Ultramar was located up in the hills, in a residential neighborhood. Once you step inside the old building, you see what a great job they've done renovating and updating. We especially loved the deck (though the neighboring buildings were run-down). The style was appealing (we... more

Had two rooms here for two nights. Hotel is located up on one of the hills, and is about a 15 minute steep and winding walk down to the old town (I guess most people will spend twice as much going up - we didn´t try). The location is good for views, yes, but not for sights, restaurants and shops.... more

I've just returned home in Chicago after a month visiting Chile, in here I had the opportunity to visit Valparaiso, an amazing city and also I found a great hotel in which I felt the essence of the city, the mix of the old constructions and the exquisite interior design. The staff was friendly and always worried of our needs.... more

I reserved a room through the hotel's website for a 2-night stay that included new year's eve. The hotel would only offer the room along with the "New Year's Package" that included a buffet dinner and champagne on new year's eve and late check-out on new year's day. Due to the unusual manner that the hotel presented the pricing and... more

All we will say is this guest claim was he thought he would pay US1.48 (yes one dollar forty eight cents) for the new year Program for 2 people.
