Hotel Monte Carlo

Absolutely loved this place !! But beware. !! Not for the faint hearted. !! Room 35 recommended but we didn't get that one. Supermarket 500 meters away for supplies. Pool with eagles and cruise ships. This must be the most value for money offer going.

My recent stay at Monte Carlo ‘Hotel’ was nothing short of diabolical. From the moment we entered our assigned hotel room, we were greeted by an offensive odor that permeated the air. The room itself was far from what we had paid for, as the hotel management failed to even provide a basic double bed, let alone a comfortable and clean one. The overall state of the room was appalling, with tatty, old furnishings and an undeniable lack of cleanliness. The breakfast experience was equally disheartening. This was the most cheapest quality breakfast we’ve ever come across, with the poorest quality bread, fruit which was past its used by date, and very below standard. Despite informing the hotel reception of our dietary restrictions, our requests were blatantly disregarded. The kitchen staff's lack of hygiene while handling food was not only unprofessional but also deeply concerning. Whilst we were waiting for clean cups to be brought out the Indian worker in the kitchen was picking his spots blatantly in front of us, and thereafter cutting the fruit. Furthermore, the hotel's misleading claim of Wi-Fi availability only in public areas reflects a lack of transparency and fails to meet the expectations of modern travelers. The hotel's location also proved to be inconvenient and misrepresented. The uphill trek from the town center, compounded by the lack of accessibility from the airport bus, made reaching the hotel a cumbersome ordeal. This crucial information was conveniently omitted from the hotel's marketing materials, leading to a significant inconvenience for guests. But that wasn’t all, even to get to the rooms most of which are in outbuildings. You have to treck up and down in the outer space of the property to get your to your room potentially. To top it all off, the absence of hot water from the outset of our stay, followed by a sudden disconnection without prior notice ‘from the owners’ was utterly unacceptable. The management's failure to communicate such a fundamental issue l prompted by ourselves to front desk ‘Pedro’ further demonstrates a lack of consideration for customer experience. In addition to these issues, upon arrival at the hotel, we were surprised to find notices in the lift stating that no outside food or drink could be brought into the hotel. This policy meant that if guests wanted to sit on the terrace and have a drink or a cup of tea or coffee when returning to their rooms, there were no facilities available. Furthermore, the complete lack of professionalism and accountability displayed by the hotel's management was equally distressing. Instead of addressing our legitimate concerns, the management seemed more interested in self indulgence on the terrace and consuming alcohol. When we expressed our profound disappointment with the numerous issues we encountered, they even went so far as to suggest that we leave the property. On the third day of our stay, the situation reached an even more disconcerting level when the o

This was the worst hotel experience ever. Room - very hot, stall, and stunk, no air con and only window in room opened onto small 4x2 enclosed courtyard which was roasting again airless and mosquito and ant infested. Ants throughout room with old trap in hall between bedroom and bathroom. Air in room so bad and hot I was sick in the night. Room infested with mosquitos due to window being open on our arrival, and unable to sleep due to heat and being bitten (despite repellant). Bathroom - bath had multiple rust spots, and shower not much more than a trickle. Breakfast - flies everywhere No dining past breakfast and closest restaurants within a mile, but very twisty roads/pavements where located and no sat nav difficult to use in area/very easy to get lost. Staff not very helpful. Very dated hotel and badly needs upgraded. We stayed only one night, and moved to alternative hotel, but charged for all nights.

Great value hotel, amazing staff! Pedro went above and beyond to help me with finding places and general translation as I was visiting my elderly parents and the hotel was convenient place to stay. Highly recommend this hotel. Liza

It may be 'okay' if you stay in the main building. If you get given a room in the mouldy Annex near the pool, it is not! Disgusting that they take money from people and make them stay in an uninhabitable room by health standards! See photos. I wish I could add more. The stained pillows, mouldy bathroom,next to zero water pressure. I am a solo female traveller and the door also had gaps meaning anyone could look in directly seeing the bed. Staff said hotel was at capacity and walked away, nothing else offered. I've stayed in 1* hotels in South America with better rooms and better customer service. Avoid if you value your health

This hotel has a stunning placement in a top of a hill with an unique view. The staff is very welcoming and make their best to try hard to help the guest to feel welcome. However, it was hard. The rooms are really updated, no wifi, water pressure is really low, bathroom leaks, cracks on the walls. It really needs a real investment. The chocking is the breakfast, so basic within a country which is proud on their food. There is a swimming pool with a beautiful view. The hotel has 2 buildings one is an extension with a swimming pool, more modern though the bathrooms still smelly. It is handy to have space for 3 cars to park but good luck arriving early to get them.
