A very lovely property located in a thriving area of fine restaurants. I was in Valparaiso once before in 2005 and the scene has changed a lot--it is a thriving urban environment built on what was once a major, cosmopolitan center. It makes San Francisco look like Kansas. The staff are very friendly and helpful--there is always someone around who... More

This hotel deserves its high ranking. The room on the 2nd floor with a view of the port was perfect. On street parking was fine and even though we had to do 2 'laps' to find it we got there easily enough. It's easy to walk to restaurants and explore the area. Valparaiso is an amazing location - this hotel... More

We had booked another property earlier , however as the time got nearer ,we read several negative reports on that Hotel.We were so glad we decided on the Hotel Acontraluz, this place is quite charming, and quiet.. The floor plan very open and tastefully decorated with wooden floors throughout the views from the two decks of the harbour is quite... More

I went there for "semana santa", 2013 (couple). Great house, with extraordinay view. Rooms are nice, with, at least for the one i tried, a beautifull view over the bay and the montains. Good breakfast (until 12, which is awesome). People working there are really helpfull, and can advise you about all the things, and, most important, where to eat.... More

The hotel is in an old nicely restored house with an eye-catching central staircase. We stayed for 2 nights in a sea view room. The rooms are basic, but clean and spacious. The staff is great - very accommodating, and helpful in finding out any information you need and setting you up with tours and activities. The buffet breakfast is... More

We stayed in a room with a balcony facing the hill and it was wonderful. The room was nice and very comfortable. They also helped us get hooked up with a wine tour to casablanca valley with Oliver (very much recommended!). The location was also great - very close to a lot of good restaurants.

We checked in and upgraded to a room with a balcony looking over the harbour. Definitely worth doing. This is a lovely hotel with nice staff and good service. Nice touches like 24hr availability of water, tea and coffee on tap. It is in a nice part of town and is a haven of peace in a high paced city.

We stayed at Hotel Acontraluz for 3 nights and had booked the top floor sea view suite - wonderful. Having travelled the best part of 27 hours before arriving in Valparaiso, we were ever so slightly worried whether the hotel would live up to it's reputation - it does! Lovely welcome, great staff and very comfortable room. The views from... More

We stayed at the Hotel Acontraluz for 2 nights at the beginning of March 2013. This was at the end of a fantastic tailor made tour arranged by Katherine at Imagine Latin America. Throughout we stayed at a wonderful variety of hotels in fabulous places and the Acontraluz was no exception. The hotel is situated in a safe, attractive area... More
