Nubes Hotel

Excellent location, only two minutes walk from the beach. Also very close to restaurants, supermarkets and banks. A short walk from one of the main avenues in town that connects all the Valparaiso bay area by bus. Generally an old-fashioned place with nice decoration and lots of character. Bed super comfortable, nice, powerful shower with lots of hot water. Breakfast is simple but very satisfying: fruits, yoghurt, toast, eggs and coffea or tea. Friendly and helpful staff, the owner himself is always around and available to help with anything.

Breakfast was served rather late (8h30 am weekdays and 9h30 am on weekends and holidays). There is a restaurant next door that can get noisy until late, some rooms are literally inches away from the deck were patrons sit so you may have trouble sleeping or be awaken by laughter and music. The staff are very nice but do not rely too much on them for tourist information though - they can be a bit out of touch, e.g. they did not know that there is a direct bus from Viña del Mar to the Santiago airport three times a day.
