There were a massive road repairs going on all over the area around the hotel, so the map was useless. But finally getting to within half a block of where we thought it was, a very kind passer by asked if we were lost? We were! He told us we were very close to Thomas Somerscales, and insisted on carrying... More

I would actually give this hotel 4 1/2, not 5, for a variety of smaller things. Overall, the hotel made our stay in Valpo very nice and safe. I wanted to explain something, to be fair to the hotel. We checked in, bargained, and got a lower rate if we paid cash. We paid, and did not get a receipt.... More

This building was probably magnificent a century ago, but now it is threadbare, outdated, and not overly clean. We paid $200 for a room with a "terrace" on the top floor. The terrace was really a tiny little porch with a tiny table squeezed in. The room was stuffy and cluttered, but It did have some pretty magnificent viewsof the... More

What a fantastic place! The house itself is increadible, like going back in time, but to a glorious time. Every detail of the house is beautiful. The room is spotless clean and very cozy. We stayed in room n.7, witch is in the top floor of the house, like an attic, very cozy and yet with a lot of space.... More

This is undoubtedly a lovely hotel in a great location, but unfortunately my stay was ruined by the attempt of the receptionist to run a scam on my room rate. He offered me a $30 reduction in the rate if I paid by cash. I agreed to this as it didn't seem too inconvenient to make a small saving -... More

After driving around Valparaiso for 2 hours with a GPS and asking many people we found the hotel. . The owner and her son are very nice people. The view was great. We had no trouble when we walked to the center. The neighborhood is very interesting with good restaurants. More

We spent 3 nights in this delightful small hotel, we were fortunate to get room 8, with a beautiful terrace and views. The owners and staff were very accomodating, helping us with restaurants and things worth seeing. The home is exquisite, very well cared for, we felt we came "home" after busy days of exploring the many sights. My only... More

We picked up our college daughter in Santiago and came to Valpo for a family weekend. We had a lovely room tailored to our needs in this charming house in a perfect area that allows for walking and sight-seeing. If you want 5 star service and cleanliness, this is not the place for you. This is a relaxed environment with... More
