The Montecarlo was one of our favorite hotels in Ecuador. We had intended to stay only one night and then find a cheaper place, but we ended up staying there for our entire time in Ibarra (four nights).

From there it was possible to make a trip to http://www.sanclementetours.com/ing_turismo_comunitario.php. This trip was a recommendation from the hotel manager. In addition to that he showed us the best... More

My husband & I have made visits to Ibarra since 2004. Starting in 2006, we discovered the Hotel Montecarlo (recommended by locals). It is a comfortable, convenient, fairly priced, good service hotel.

The rooms are a little small, but well appointed, clean, and probably the nicest of any hotel I have stayed in during fourteen years of trips to Ecuador. The... More

My husband and I were in Ibarra for a construction mission trip with 13 other participants. Our local hosts for the mission trip made our lodging arrangements at the Montecarlo for us. Whenever I needed to contact the hotel prior to our arrival, Francisco Calderon responded very quickly. The day we arrived at the hotel, the management and staff was... More

We stayed here for 2 nights. I had picked this hotel over a hosteria because it was located in the center of the city, convenient for walking to restaurants, banks and shops. When we checked in, I had asked if they could arrange transportation for us back to Quito. I was told I had to do that myself, although in... More
