Very beautiful and clean. Bathroom was excellent with plenty of towels and hot water. Had a ground floor room with a hammock and access to the pool. Bar was great, three beers for $5! And breakfast at the restaurant was excellent. Overall it was a wonderful stopping point on our travels. Would highly recommend and stop again. Only negative was the weak wifi, but I’m sure we could all use a break from the internet now and then.

Pros -family room was very large and comfortable for $70 -very nice Queen beds -nice varanda -very friendly front desk -nice bottled water in the room CONS -AWFUL AWFUL restaurant- service, food and wines. They list several wines and they give us a cheap LAZO which retails for $6 but charged us $16 and it was NOT on the menu list. Plus serve wine in nice glasses not DOLLAR store glasses!!! -they listed turkey for Thanksgiving and then tell us that there's no more and it was only 6 pm -VERY VERY VERY SLOW service. It took us over 1 hour to get a salad and another hour for our meal. The waiter then has the nerve to ask us for a 20% tip. Are you kidding!!! Tip for what? He never came and cleaned our dirty dishes. He never asked how was our dinner? Really NO SERVICE. Teach waiters a tip is given for good service!!! -they list a Cesaer salad and it tasted like it came from a bottle creamy italian. Not good at all! Please learn how to make Cesaer dressing! -restaurant dining area was FREEZING COLD. We ended up sitting outside. Plus sooo noisy. They need noise abatement material on the walls in the dining area. -feral cats roaming around our table as we ate and sitting on empty chairs. YUCK!!! -elevators SMELL very mildew -VERY NOISY room with trucks and cars honking all night and I even asked for a quiet room -meal was tastelss... chef needs to learn how to cook with condiments. All in all a bit overpriced for what we got. I'd probably not come back but unfortunately not too many options in Santiago.

A nice hotel, but we ran into a problem. So, on the way from David back to Panama, we needed to stop and spend the night. I looked on all of the travel websites, and Hotel Gran David seemed like a great option. All of the sites listed breakfast included, which was much better. So we got a room, spent the night, and showed up for breakfast, where they asked us for our room number. We went to eat, and they came over and said "we're sorry, but you got a special rate, and your mother in law paid the senior price, so breakfast is not included". Nothing was said about this during check in, and it was quite the unagreeable experience for it to happen at breakfast, after we'd already taken our food, and in front of the whole restaurant. After bringing up the issue we only had to pay half, but the whole experience knocked the place down a star for us. The rooms were nice. The pool great, with shade. The art and decor in the lobby also very nice, but beware, that breakfast may not be included.
