Holiday Inn Express Antofagasta

據説是當地最好的酒店 頂多也就國內快捷酒店水平 位置好，靠海

I was hesitant about this place as I couldn't find a nicer hotel. As I read good reviews of this place, I decided to give this a shot since location is more important. Since we just came down from the volcano, is a relieve to be in a hotel with a proper bed. Entrance is like any 4 star hotel, front desk is helpful for their system is hopeless. We quickly jumped onto the app to book for extra nights while in the car on the way to Antofagasta as we were down from the volcano camp 2 days earlier. Upon reaching, they said one of the room was canceled and their rooms are full as we didn't turn up (we just booked through the app 2hrs prior!). Anyway, it was finally sorted after my husband spent another 30min. there. All the staff here are very pleasant and helpful. I was impressed by the cafe here. We were so hungry for dinner when reach yet as we were super tired, we need to eat something. Their cafe looks like some sad American cafe but their food is good! I was so happy with their salmon main course while my husband's shrimp salad was very good too. They have a 24hr gym though only 1 rusty treadmill is working, is good enough for some cardio. No water is provided in the room but you can top up water in the gym. Location is great as it is in front of the sea. View is lovely and walk ~ 15-20minutes you can reach the big mall. MU Grill resto (best steak!) is only 5min. away. Breakfast is basic but at least they have some fruits and yoghurt. For the small price we paid, I'm very happy with the service and prompt room servicing of the room in the morning.

Comfortable rooms, very clean, excellent breakfast , adequate parking and very good staff attention. It is well located, but it is a bit expensive for its level. Anyway, I recommend it when you visit Antofagasta.
