About

Hotel 251

Hotel 251 sits in the heart of Viña del Mar, a roughly 25-minute walk from Museo Fonck and a short stroll from the beach, cafés, and restaurants. The property is small and independently run, with a terrace and garden furniture where breakfast can be served picnic-style, or you can have it brought to your room.

Rooms are simple and bright, with flat-screen TVs, soundproofing, and free Wi-Fi throughout. Some categories add sea views, and the Deluxe Triple Room sleeps three. Free parking is available on site, and the 24-hour front desk can arrange tours, tickets, and even grocery shopping.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Sea views from many rooms — The Deluxe Double and Deluxe Triple rooms offer sea views, and several guests highlight the ocean outlook as a highlight of their stay.
  • Breakfast served in-room or picnic-style — A continental breakfast can be enjoyed on the terrace or brought to your room – a flexible touch that guests appreciated.
  • Free on-site parking — Unlike many coastal hotels, Hotel 251 includes free parking, which is a practical bonus for road-trippers.
  • Close to the beach and dining — The hotel is within easy walking distance of the beach, cafés, and restaurants, making it a convenient base.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead or contact the hotel.
  • Breakfast is basic continental — Guests describe the breakfast as simple – a continental spread – so those expecting a full hot breakfast may be underwhelmed.
  • Value score is the weakest category — While the overall rating is 8.0, guests rate value at 7.9, suggesting the price-to-experience ratio is slightly lower than other aspects.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
