Lastarria 43-61 Apart Hotel — Hotel in Santiago

had 2 separate stay in the same superior loft apartment during my trip in the newer 61 building (not 43 one)|check in is odd as the entrance to the hotel is literally by the cafe tables on the street, and often times the door was locked and you had to wait for someone to come after pressing doorbell...i can understand this when i was leaving at 6am in the morning, but not at daytime. Some of the checkin staff was very helpful and agreed to help with luggage (remember no elevator in both buildings), but there was a lady who couldn't care less. |The apartment itself was very spacious, but lots of wear and tear (wall paper below window falling off, cushion on couch extremely slanted). There was a safe (not often seen in apartment type hotels so a plus) and things seem clean (superficially....the wallpaper needs replacement of just ripped off and paint). But the basics are there...comfy bed, decent size bathroom with good water pressure in a good size shower, basic toiletries. Kitchen was a plus and there is a store right next to apartment that sells prepared/frozen food for early breakfast when nothing is open (Starbucks across the street opens around 7 or 8am). |So overall a good stay, with issues, but price was good for the value. Should be 3.5 stars but TA doesn't let you pick that. Now if only it had an...

The hotel Lastarria is in the center of Santiago and is very nicely located for wandering about. The rooms are very comfortable, clean, and accommodating, the staff pleasant and receptive. There is an actual desk as well as a loveseat in TV. Should you choose to stay in the room or need to work. The wifi is fast enough. All in all, I have no complaints about the hotel. Itself, or the staff ergo the four star review. The only problem I had was that the plus comet being in the center of town coma is also a minor minus in that the street, on which the hotel is situated becomes a market at night and that goes on until midnight or twelve thirty, and if you have a room on the first floor as I do, expect some noise. ||With that minor annoyance, I would definitely consider staying here again were I to come back...
