We stayed here for the Monaco Grand Prix; there weren’t many hotel options left within our budget and it was sad a bit sad to overpay for this hotel due to the event (I understand price gouging so it is what it is). The hotel was less than 5 minute walk to train station which was very convenient. It was also an easy walk to the main square/shops (about 12-15 mins, 20 mins to the beach promenade). The staff was helpful; they answered all our questions and greeted us with a welcome soft drink. They stored our luggage for us as the room wasn’t ready when we arrived. They provide coffee and filtered water station in lobby which was also helpful. The rooms are small and you can hear everything through the walls. There were very rude guests during our stay that were inconsiderate and making so much noise at 2 in the morning in the hallway. The shower was very small as well; if you are bigger person (tall or muscular) it is difficult to shower. Overall, it was decent.. just a place to sleep in a convenient location for a sporting event.

Our stay was tainted by our welcome , where there was a mix up with our booking including breakfast and how it was dealt with on our arrival. This took two lengthy calls to Expedia and speaking to the manager by chance there on our second day when I went to question details on the website and our booking. Breakfast was okay- continental with some bacon and scrambled eggs. Note- croissants , bacon and scrambled egg’s not always cooked properly. Decor throughout was nice, having hot drinks and cold water available was a really nice touch. Good location for the train station and close to lots of restaurants. Room cleaning was adequate for a few nights stay, but fresh mugs/ glasses weren’t provided. If clean mugs/ glasses weren’t freely available downstairs this wouldn’t have been satisfactory.

Good for a 3 night trip

Location was amazing. Staff were friendly. The only thing I would say is that the bed and pillows were not comfortable. We booked a queen bed room and you could tell that it was 2 single beds pushed together. You could hear every step from people above you as the floors were not that sound proofed. Apart from that, it was a lovely hotel!

Definitely a good stay

Staff was very helpful, which met my needs a few times. Great location near the train station (5 minute walk). But because of it, street noise from Avenue Thiers may be loud for some if your room faces that direction. It is close to eateries and convenience stores however. Room was comfortable and immaculate. Main sightsee areas to the south and west however takes 15-20 minutes on foot, but it's fun to see the neighborhood and architecture. Definitely a good stay.

The property condition was average. More than average was the kindness of the ones I met at the reception in the night shift and the day shift. They did not rush you and the gentleman showed me how to open the door with the wifi card. He was kind. It was my first night of my European tour, and most things were new to me since my last one in 2004, an organized tour with a friend and with a big group. The next morning, I had breakfast and it was good: the egg and the potato round pieces, and juices of oranges and grapefruit, and coffee, coissant and bread. The woman desk manager was friendly and told me about her family. It was good to know because I could relate where they originally came from. Overall, I enjoyed my stay because of the kindness and friendliness of the hotel staff.

Very convenient to the train station which was my purpose in staying here. The crowd is not touristy around here as a result. Found that I was able to take the lift up rather quickly. I ended up taking the stairs down often due to time. The sounds echo throughout which challenged and early bedtime. The water pressure was perfect and the staff was kind.
