Hotel Montecarlo Santiago

Well located and good wifi Arrived very early off an intercontinental flight and was able to check in at 9am (obviously depends on the hotel not being full), shared van driver who'd never been to the hotel before found it with ease. Rooms are a little dated and there's no tea or coffee making provided, but had good views of the park opposite, air conditioning worked though it leaked a bit, lighting was adequate and the wifi reception was good in most places, though strangely not at the bed. Bathroom and shower doors were in need of repair but had no issues running my kettle element off the power supplies. Continental breakfast was limited but reasonable, got a little busy after 9am but quiet beforehand, reception provided luggage storage and taxi bookings back to the airport. Generally quiet though could hear some TV from other rooms and think a neighbour had an issue with their door lock that maintenance had to make noise trying to fix. On Thursday night there was low music noise from a venue nearby between 11pm and 6am, but strangely no noise Friday night except for the traffic which is constant as the room windows are single glazed. Would have preferred a duvet to the blankets offered, but generally a well located property within easy walking distance of Balla Arts, Plaza De Armas and a couple of subway stations, the area seemed reasonably safe, and there's plenty of hotel staff to look after any additional needs.
