Hotel Boutique Terra Diaguita & Spa

Right in the heart of the old town of La Serena but step through the door into another world of peaceful courtyards and small outdoor spaces. The hotel is made up of 2 buildings across the street from each other, we liked both. Rooms fairly basic but great value. Our bed was up on a mezzanine which we really liked but others may not. It was quiet when we stayed and we could always find a quiet place to sit and read. Amazing breakfasts. There is parking at a nearby garage for a fee. Lovely staff especially Thomas who couldn’t have been any more helpful to us during our stay.

*On the plus side: the garden is very pretty and the breakfast was delicious, props to the hard working ladies in the kitchen and the cleaning service as it was spotless. Aside from that, not a good experience at all!!!!* When I arrived, they tried to give me a room in a whole different building, with “colonial style”, that had no blinds and huge set of stairs to the bed!!! It was not like the pictures at all and I complained many times until they finally offered a room that seemed decent in the main hotel area. The service was bad as they couldn’t care less that they were trying to abuse the system by giving me another low grade room across the street. The reception suggested a restaurant, honestly one if the worst I have ever been, called Mare y Bombo. Extremely expensive, also bad service (you can see their reviews which speaks for itself). Lastly the were unhelpful at the hotel and never mentioned services like tbe massage whch comes included in the price. I also had a morning tour and they did not allow an early pre made breakfast which could have taken them 2 minutes to prepare the day before. I could have even prepared it myself. Oh and the noise was really bad. I constantly heard people walking above me. Location in the center felt unsafe at night.
