Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Carande
Chorillos 89, Papudo, Valparaíso, Chile
One of the few true hotels in a town with an abundance of cabins and apartments for rent, the Carande looks a bit worn, but it's just a short walk from the beach. It's worth paying the extra money for a room on the third floor to have a sea view over the rooftops. There's a restaurant on the second floor, and the lobby has a fireplace that usually has a fire burning in winter.
PROS
- Great views down to the beach
- Convenient location
- Great restaurant on-site
CONS
- Lacks personality
- A bit rundown
- Staff not very attentive
