Hotel Monte Carlo

I don’t even know where to start with this “hotel”. Firstly, we had to ask for a TV remote (which we had to return to the desk before leaving), we only were given a single key card (they won’t give you two), and we had to RETURN the key card EVERY TIME WE LEFT THE HOTEL!! Also, the only doors to the hotel were locked from BOTH sides at night, and if the concierge isn’t around, you’re not getting in until he returns!! Again, AVOID!!!

This gorgeous little hotel is in the perfect location situated between the river and Montmatre. The staff are delightful and welcoming. The rooms are exceptionally clean and freshly painted. The room is very quiet. We had a street facing room and the double glazed windows meant we weren't disturbed by street noise at night. The hotel is minutes to many fantastic eateries, bakeries, cafes and restaurants as well as train stations making it easy to get around on public transport. Only a minor complaint, the shower would benefit from a curtain as the bathroom floor gets quite wet while showering. The pillows were quite firm, but didn't impact our sleep. We loved this hotel an would definitely return.

I booked the hotel at the last minute without doing adequate research and regretted my decision. If you can sleep through pounding music until 4am, a lot of noise from the street and other guests returning in the early hours, it may be ok for you. It was the weekend and maybe it's quieter during the week. The room was basic and dark. The bed was clean and there was an en-suite shower room, although so small you had to sit sideways on the toilet as the wall was so close to the toilet. The night receptionist kindly found me some painkillers in the middle of the night. I didn’t take breakfast in the hotel so can’t comment on that and I left after one night despite having paid for two.
