Top Monaco Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riva Art & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very nice clean and modern with beautiful views and friendly staff"

Hotel Novotel Monte Carlo

10/10 Excellent

"Great all around"

Hôtel Vacances Bleues Le Balmoral

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is one of the old hotels that features elegance and customer service. The rear of the hotel faces a wide street with many shops and restaurants along it's sides. The front of the hotel has a lovely view of the sea. There is no parking here, but there is a parking garage nearby ($)."

Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

Hôtel Métropole Monte Carlo – Spa Guerlain

10/10 Excellent

"We sure enjoyed the 5-star stay! In particular, we loved the perfume parla in the spa. After the swimming pool, sauna and steam room, we sampled a wide variety of Guerlain perfumes. We were like kids in the candy store. The staff and service is superb. The hotel is centrally located in downtown Monaco, just 2-minutes walking distance from the famous casino. The only not perfect part of the place is that we felt their breakfast buffet fell short, lacking variety. We had far better breakfast buffet at 4-star hotels in France."

Fairmont Monte Carlo

8/10 Good

"Nice room, lovely see views. The Niki beach pool situation was a bit annoying that even as a hotel guests you had to pay if you wanted a poolside bed. Love dinner at nobu"

Columbus Hotel Monte-Carlo, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Property and staff were amazing. They help find a pharmacy that carried my needs. Above and beyond, Monaco hospitally at its finest."

Best Western Premier Hotel Prince De Galles

10/10 Excellent

"Lots to like about this hotel. The staff were great, hotel and rooms were spotlessly clean and the bed extremely comfortable. Coffee maker , kettle , tea, coffee and a small free mini bar are very nice extras as well as a coffee and cakes available every afternoon in reception.The breakfast was extra but good value. We had a room with a balcony / sea view which was lovely- it's just very noisy sitting out as the hotel is on the main road . With the windows shut however you can hardly hear any noise . Parking is provided at a cost ( 25 euros per day on site or 15 euros in a secure car park 5 minutes walk away)- I think you would need to pre book in high season. The hotel is just on the outskirts of Menton so a mile to the Centre and maybe 2 miles to the old town which is lovely. Lots of restaurants in the centre and on the promenade along the route. We enjoyed l'avenue in particular. The only slight issue we had was that the room smelled of cigarette smoke on arrival - the staff thought it may be due to people smoking on nearby balconies? It wasn't pleasant but the staff offered sprays for the room etc and it faded after a few days but as smoking is allowed on balconies , if people leave doors open it may drift into the room. The hairdryer is also rubbish so if you need one I would take your own. Again the very helpful staff lent me one for a few days. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it ."

Hotel Royal Riviera

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend! Perfect place and the food was some of the best on our trip !"
