This is a very unique hotel. It is very much like being on a ship with the water below and a fantastic view. It's more freighter than cruise ship. It was built in the 1930s and has a interesting history. The rooms need a facelift but the staff are wonderful and they were a great help to us. more

Dirty carpets, very small bathrooms, smells like fish, needs refurbishing. Spend a bit more and go somewhere else. It does have great views and friendly front desk. more

We would love to stay here again. Perfect location, price everything. more

The Cap Ducal has quantities of charm and originality and is very comfortable. All the rooms have stupendous views of the ocean and the coastline.

We were lucky to stay for two nights at the Hotel Cap Ducal. We did not have reservations and just walked in and asked for a room. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and even gave us a tour of the open rooms to let us chose the room we liked best. The views from the... more

Well, the other reviews are pretty much dead-on, though overall I felt the experience was a bit better. We took a bus from Santiago, a very comfortable and cheap way to get there, and went directly to the hotel, checked in, and then we walked around the city. We stayed in one of the larger rooms, and we adored the... more

We stayed during a 2 month tour of South America. We chose the hotel because we thought it would be a bit different from the other Vina establishments, which were mainly in tower blocks. We were quite right. The atmosphere of the hotel was like no other. Some of the decoration was a bit faded, and the paint on the... more

We stayed here for one night - side trip from Santiago and really enjoyed it. It is not a fancy hotel but it has charm. It is built to feel like you are on a ship and sits right on the water. The view is fabulous as well as the restuarant. The rooms are nice but nothing spectacular. Make sure... more
