My girlfriend and I were recently on a trip across Argentina and Chile, and Valparaíso was one of the cities we were most looking forward to visiting. We had heard that Valpo was sort of hectic, so we decided that this would be the one city where we'd splurge for a nicer hotel, especially considering that we would be coming... More

My husband and I had only one night to spend in Valparaiso and we wanted to splurge... Hotel Acontraluz met all our expectations and beyond! We reserved one of the 2 suites on the top floor which have a private terrace overlooking the city and the bay. The views were stunning, the room was very well decorated and super comfortable....

This is a very nice but somewhat pricy boutique hotel on Cerro Alegre overlooking downtown Valparaiso and the harbor. It is in an old restored mansion, but the interior common spaces are very modern. Our standard double (cheapest rooms at the Acontraluz) with a small terrace and hill view was $192, but a lovely terrace on our floor had a... More

This is a very attractive Hotel on the inside with really great views over the bay and city. The rooms are reasonable but the water pressure in our shower was poor and the bath slow to empty, all signs that Housekeeping controls are not in place. The bathroom lighting in our room was poor. Other than that the staff were... More

Acontraluz is a beautiful old home renovated as a boutique hotel. The rooms are lovely and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The views over the harbor are stunning. Breakfast was very good and the afternoon cakes were delicious. There are many restaurants within walking distance. The area around the hotel is very hilly and there is no elevator... More

Brilliant view from the balcony overlooking the entire bay of Valparaiso. Make sure you also take a look after sunset! The hotel has a rustique atmosphere and an open staircase takes you up to the levels of the house where the rooms are. There is no elevator. Heavy construction work in front of the hotel caused quite some noise and... More

The hotel Acontraluz is a nice boutique style hotel; the property appears to be a fairly recently renovated property on a hillside overlooking the port. As the property is set on a hillside you need to be quite agile, someone with mobility problems would struggle especially as the roads are under construction preventing cars from accessing the street the hotel...

As others have already pointed out, the hotel is in a great accessible location. Walk to cafes, bars (Pisco Bar is great!), etc. However, it would have been helpful to know in advance that many streets, including its own, are closed for construction, so was pretty difficult to find and unload the car. The house is very pretty, nicely renovated.... More

We stayed here early November of this year. Quite difficult to locate due to ongoing street closures however, well worth the effort. A family run establishment with staff who are committed to looking after the customer. Our room was beautiful with a terrace and of course a harbour view. The hotel itself has been refurbished to a high standard with... More
