Frommer's Review
Built in 1938, the City Hotel features a Gotham City-like exterior and Art Deco period antiques throughout its guest rooms, polished wood floors, and a manual elevator operated by the hotel's bellhop. At $49 (£25) a night, it's a bargain, however the rooms are very spartan and beds are not firm and of just average quality. Bathrooms are spacious and clean, but fixtures like toilets and sinks look like they're from the hotel's inauguration year. The hotel's restaurant oozes old-world charm, and its location a half-block from Plaza de Armas is convenient for sightseeing. The front desk staff borders on gruff, but this is common in old Chilean hotels in this price range.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
