Wonderfully helpful staff (who speak English), nice touches such as room service checking you have enough towels etc, after you have checked in. Located in residential area but near restaurants and two metro stations. Free internet access. Tried to think of something but can´t. The Director El Golf was one of the most welcoming hotels I have stayed in. Staff were wonderfully attentive. Porters, reception staff, housekeeping, restaurant staff: all were polite, helpful, made a point of acknowledging you.
The hotel is located in an immaculately kept mainly residential area which gave it a very safe feeling at night. In reasonable walking distance of several restaurants (although in-house restaurant was very good). Located out of town centre but two nearby metro stations provided evry quick and simple city centre access.
If I had to be extremely critical, some of the decor and furnishings showed a little wear but no more than I have seen in any other hotel of this star rating.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Santiago is a massive city. We have had some experience of doing our own sightseeing in cities but would definately recommend taking advantage of the various ´Turis Tours´ trips available through the hotel. If you do want to explore yourself, take full advantage of the very cheap, clean and efficient metro system.

The breakfast is nice and the staff is helpful Older hotel, air conditioning a little weak The Director El Golf is a good hotel for a short stay. The location is nice within a quiet neighborhood but close to several metro stops. Has a nice large grocery store nearby. The room is large with a small kitchenette, however there are no utensils or dishes. The breakfast has a nice selection with fruit and cereals. The rooms are clean, just in need of some updating.

Friendly english speaking staff, room was a decent size (they're all suites). Breakfast served late (until 1030) Free internet was not in room only in lobby, limited to two computers and not for wifi. Hotel is in a good area, plenty of bars and restaurants to choice from. Subway is nearby and on the main line for the city centre. Room was large with a kitchenette (without crockery/kettle mind) and everything else you need for a comfortable stay.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Try to get up the very top of the Santa Lucia hill for the midday canon: earth shook!

Good location in business district, 5 min walk to Metro. Hotel surrounded by excellent restaurants. No charge to park car in secure parking lot. Huge bed is actually the size of 2 double beds together. Carpet has not been shampooed in years - actually had to wear slippers in room to keep my feet clean. Pervasive room deoderizer. Charge for WiFi service. Air conditioner very noisy. Hotel is dated but very well maintained, with the exception of the stained and dirty carpets. Helpful & attentive bilingual staff, made winery reservations for us, and called ahead to restaurants to reserve our tables. Business center has 2 computers with free access. The hotel does not offer non-smoking rooms, but we were assured that there would be no problem accommodating our non-smoking preferences - this means that the air in the room is heavily deoderized with a perfumy spray. We found that turning on the bathroom vent and opening the windows helped dissipate this strong smell. Strongly suggest you bring travel slippers.
Restaurant Tip : Pier Mariskos - Good food, but amazing dessert! After you select your dessert, the waiters "paints" pictures on the dessert plate using different colored pure fruit sauces, and then places your chosen dessert next to his masterpiece - we were in awe.

The room was very nice. Had a swimming pool. Free Internet. Great support and assistance from reception staff. Service in the restaurant. No kettle for cups of tea or coffee, also no Milo!!! Had to go through reception to get to the swimming pool. The Director El Golf Hotel was situated in a quiet street in Santiago. The staff were pleasant and very helpful and could speak English well. Spacious rooms and well heated. Bathroom well equipped with plenty of hot water and a hairdryer. The staff were very knowledgeable about local places to go shopping or tours around Santiago and how to get there.
Shopping Tip : Go to the local hand craft plaza, where you can get a range of different products.

Good location (wealthy, apparently safe neighborhood, walking distance from subway, quiet sidestreet). Reasonable 3 standard. Free internet. Not much going on around the hotel (business district). We paid a low price of last minute room, hence the good value for money title.
