The Fauna is in a great location with a nice rooftop restaurant. The room is pretty basic but comfortable and with everything you need. The hotel details say there is laundry but there isn't. Luckily, there is a great laundry service nearby that does same day service.

My favorite place to stay when visiting Old Valparaiso. The hotel is well located and staff is friendly. Rooms are simple but comfy and quiet. And the restaurant is a great place to chill and enjoy the view.

Really unique hotel in an excellent area.
Staff and restaurant were awesome. Only thing we didn't like was that the Wifi was not great and unfortunately that is an important thing for us when we travel.

Loved the neighborhood and the view from the restaurant on the outdoor patio is amazing! Convenient location if you are taking a cruise. The hotel offers a shuttle. Only downfall is the hotel is hard to find. It’s situated down a path where no cars can go. You will need to walk a bit, and go down some stairs to get to the property.

the HOTEL for me is the best hotel in VALPARAISO for its location and design
I have asked for a nice room and they have given me the best view and the staff was super friendly
the area is the most beautiful.- my only recommendations would be to improve the internet connection and maybe the breakfast too (although everything is delicious and you can repeat what you eat, I feel that it is not at the level of the hotel) the breakfast terrace / restaurant is great!
yes I would return to this hotel and I would recommend it to everyone for being the best

FANTASTIC! The hotel is located in one of the main walking alleys in Valparaíso. The staff was great, gave us advise and were always helpful. They have a great restaurant with a terrace that rounds up the experience. The only thing to consider is that it might not be accesible to people with reduced mobility.

Nice boutique hotel.
The hotel staff were very nice and helpful. The hotel was located in a lane way not accessible to cars. We had to drag our luggage down the lane and steps to get to the hotel which was on top of a hill. The hotel room had no air conditioning and no closets. It was quaint. The restaurant was great. Lovely views and the food was delicious. The breakfast was very good and healthy. The service was very good.

Great location and very safe
The hotel can not be reached by car(Uber) as they have to stop as the end of the road it’s a pedestrian road, so you have to take your cases down the end of the road which was fine for us but if you are less mobile this hotel would not be good for you as it has no lift.
The benefits outweigh the positives , great views from rooftop bar and restaurant; very clean and staff friendly. I would suggest you use Uber , it’s easy and a lot cheaper than the hotel booking you a taxis to the cruise port.

Good option for Valpo!
Simple but charming hotel. Stay here for the view, and tranquility… when the pigeons are not fighting outside 😁 I did not sleep well because of the birds and general noise (obviously completely out of hotel control) but also because the room was stuffy. If you open windows the noise becomes more prevalent, but without opening there is no airflow. Highly recommend the hotel put a floor fan in each room. Otherwise, very kind staff and cute restaurant upstairs.
