Hotel Diego de Almagro Punta Arenas is located in one of the most southernly points in Chile, on the coast of the Magellan Straits. It offers free Wi-Fi in all rooms.Each room at Diego de Almagro offers air conditioning, cable TV and a telephone.Diego de Almagro’s restaurant offers traditional Chilean and international cuisine. Guest can also relax in the hotel's pool, sauna and hot tub.

The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable, staff very careful, breakfast is good, coffee shop in the room, extra heating and easy to regulate in the same room. The only serious inconvenience is the noise level that many passengers make up to very late and very early. I understand that it's holidays and that some groups go very early on the excursions, but they should not stay in the corridors speaking and laughing high volume while waiting for guests from other rooms , The hotel has a living room and a large restaurant.

A historic building, such as the re-emergence of the layout and decoration of yesterday, creates a quiet and cozy atmosphere, the rooms are full, but nothing. The boss is considerate and generous, and the service is meticulous. There have never been Chinese guests before, they hope to have it later...

From my research, I gathered this was one of the more upscale (but not luxury) hotels in Punta Arenas. We stayed for 2 nights, but did not spend too much time in the area, as we spent the full day on an excursion. When we arrived, check in was easy and reception was friendly and helpful. As we were leaving for the excursion early the next day, we would not be able to enjoy the breakfast. Front desk offered to have a small sack ready in the morning. It wasn't elaborate - a banana, yogurt and a cereal bar with a cup and instant coffee pack. However, it was a nice offering that we were not charged for. The room was nice. Good size with a small hall, desk and nightstands on both sides of the bed. Internet service was good. Bathroom was spacious. Lighting was a bit of a challenge and not the best for putting on makeup. As we were quarantining and waiting for PCR results, we did not go out for dinner, but ordered room service. It was more than adequate. Service was prompt and friendly. You can order through What's app, which is nice. We enjoyed breakfast our second morning and it was a standard South American affair with cold cuts, some pastries and some fruit. I believe there were some additional options (eggs, etc.), but wait staff did not offer. Most did not speak English, but I did not bother asking either. Per other reviews - YES, there is street racing in the middle of the night. As I always sleep with earplugs when traveling, I did not hear it, but my partner was kept up a good portion of the evening. He would probably rate this property 2-3 stars as a result. As I did not spend any time in town, I cannot comment to the area, but I understand it is very centrally located across the street from the main square. Can ride from airport was 12,000 CLP.

I usually prefer to stay in hotel chains because of the generous elite benefits (suite upgrades, breakfast, late check-out, etc.) but on occasion in some destinations without hotel chains then booking at an independent hotel cannot be avoided. In such situations I usually feel the sting of not having benefits and the value for the money is often noticeably inferior. Since our stay in Punta Arenas was part of a package involving a trip to Antarctica I could not choose which hotel we stayed at, and anyway there are no hotel chains in the city. Based on our stay at Hotel Jose Nogueira there was nothing to change my opinion about independent hotels, they are often inferior to hotel chains in many ways. Our stay was not overwhelmingly bad, in fact there were a number of positives. For starters of course I did not expect a suite upgrade but our room almost looked like a suite nonetheless because there was a living room separated from the bedroom. The downside is that both sections were quite small and the layout of other rooms which I saw felt more spacious when it was just one open room. Another positive was the lack of carpet which was not the case in all rooms, and also the bathroom had heated floors which was suitable for the local climate, and also a towel heater which was very useful. The bathroom toiletries were not some local unbranded stuff, in fact it was Pharmacopia which is often used in various Hyatt Regency hotels around the world. The main problem was that the curtains were not great so for a stay during the summer which has long day light hours, our daughter woke up too early every day. Having good blackout in a hotel far north or far south is a must but Hotel Jose Nogueira failed in that regard. At least the pillows were thick so we could sleep well before sunrise. The bathroom was also a sore spot, it was exceedingly small and quite dated especially the shower in the bathtub. The rest of the room was quite bare bones. There was no coffee kettle and even when I asked at reception they told me they only had one so they could not lend it to me. Since we needed boiled water to make milk for the baby I had to go to the bar regularly to ask for refills which was not as convenient as what we normally do in any other hotels. There was also no bathrobe which is a miss for a cold climate. The overall lack of amenities was also noticeable at the bar. While the venue itself was attractive, one day I asked for a Negroni but I was told they did not have Campari anymore. So I ordered an Amaretto Sour. The next day I ordered an Amaretto Sour again and I was told they did not have Amaretto anymore, but that they had Campari! Breakfast was quite weak, so weak in fact that we voluntarily decided to skip it two out of four mornings during our stay which we almost never do in any kind of hotel. They had eggs made to order and the rest at the buffet was standard stuff and nothing that stood out: cheese, cereals, fruits, bread, etc
