My stay at Epico Recoleta Hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was excellent, making it easy to walk to local attractions. However, the condition of the hotel left much to be desired, from musty smells in the rooms to issues with cleanliness and service. While I appreciated the attentive staff, the overall experience fell short, and I wouldn’t choose to stay again.

I recently stayed at the Epico Recoleta Hotel and found it to be a solid choice for a quick trip. The location is great, tucked away in a quieter area while still being close to local shops and attractions. However, the room felt quite dark and needed a refresh, and I did notice some noise from the street. Overall, it's a decent option if you're looking for something local rather than the big chains.
