Hotel Montecarlo

This hotel is ideally located within walking distance of the main venues in the city and close to shops, cafes and bars. The welcome is exceptional. Parking is available at €21 per day. It is very tight and initially the system did not recognise our prerecorded number plate. A parking card is given at Reception and then all went smoothly with even a personalised welcome and goodbye on the parking machine. The hotel is modern, bright and airy with a huge inner atrium for lounging with free coffee, tea or water, ordering drinks and for a sumptuous buffet breakfast with a huge array of choice, including hot food at €18 per person. Most rooms overlook this area, although some face the outer main road. Our room was spacious with a super king, very comfy bed, great lighting, a shower room, separate toilet and washbasin area. Rituals toiletries, including hair conditioner and mini toiletries were welcome. The hairdryer has the cord attached to the wall and was not quite long enough to reach easily to see in the mirror and the chair too low to see what you were doing, so one slight flaw here. Standing up to dry hair for 30 mins. isn’t great. 2 bottles of water and nuts were also free. A safe and fridge, as well as a coffee machine and tea made our stay perfect. All staff smile and are wonderfully helpful. On leaving a hand written thankyou card of the city was given to us; the car windows cleaned and another thankyou card left for us. Lovely touches that made guests feel valued. Highly recommend this hotel.

No, no and no! Instant coffee, no water provided. Our room with a bathtub was not renovated and at 8am, workers started the drilling and banging. We were offered renovated with a shower or not renovated with a bathtub. We weren’t told that workers would start working at 8am. This should have been explained.

Lovely hotel right in the centre. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with something for everyone. Car parking available and received helpful directions beforehand - it is a little tight but managed it. Lovely little touches made the experience. Would recommend and return here if visiting again.
