Frommer's Review
Housed in a 100-year-old Victorian perched high atop Cerro Castillo, the Offenbacher has sweeping views of the city and the hills beyond, and a splendid glass-enclosed patio. It is by far one of the more interesting places to lodge, and its location on this historic hill puts you near some of the city's oldest homes -- a delightful location, but guests must either grab a taxi to reach the beach, or hoof it. The mix-and-match decor is on the funky side, as if they purchased everything at a flea market, but it's hard to balk considering the panoramic views. Superior doubles are worth the extra $10 (£5) for better views and substantially more space. Their three doubles that open onto the patio are darker, and less private. The German-Chilean family that runs the Offenbacher are cheerful and helpful, and always available to help you plan your days in Viña.

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.
