Hotel Montecarlo

Hotel Montecarlo is a long-running low-cost hotel at Victoria Subercaseaux 209 in the Lastarria neighbourhood of Santiago, Chile, on the Cerro Santa Lucia side of the district. The Universidad Catolica metro station on Line 1 is close by, and Cerro Santa Lucia, Parque Forestal and the Museo de Bellas Artes are within an easy walk. The airport is roughly 30 to 40 minutes by car. Lastarria is among the most visitor-friendly parts of the city, with cafes, bookshops, galleries and restaurants along cobbled streets, and the hotel offers a simple, inexpensive base in the middle of it. Room types listed include Single Rooms, Double Rooms and Triple Rooms, which suit solo travellers, couples and small groups on a budget. Rooms are simple and functional rather than luxurious, and air conditioning is listed. A restaurant provides on-site meals, and many cafes and restaurants are within a few minutes' walk. The property does not have a pool or spa, so the main appeal is price and location. Service is straightforward, with reception staff able to help with directions, taxis and basic tour arrangements. Rates generally run from about CLP 45,000 to 85,000 per night (roughly USD 50 to 90), among the lowest for the district. Because the area is lively in the evenings, street noise can be noticeable on weekends, and visitors who value quiet should request an upper or rear room. The neighbourhood is generally safe and busy, though normal city precautions apply late at night. The hotel is best for travellers who plan to spend most of their time out exploring.
