We stayed 6 nights & ask when arrived if they could find us a rental wheelchair on 5day we found our own.No fridge in room. Pool no hand rails so couldn't use. On 4th day can back at 5 -no made service. Can't walk so had to stay in room when she finally showed up with bad attitude. Watched how she cleaned glasses. Made me sick. Kept criticizing me in french and making jesters. I understand some French. No restaurant. Posted hotel charge the minute arrived to pay instead of posting it to pay when we checked out.

Dear Mister Reis, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us regarding your stay at Hotel Monte Cristo.It is always disappointing to find out that one of our guests was not fully satisfied with their experience during their stay with us. However, we were a bit surprised when reading your review and very intrigued about your comments since from the different exchanges we had with you at the reception during your stay, we tried to make sure that everything was okay by checking up with you when we had the opportunity and your feedback was always very positive. Regarding the payment at the check in we tried together to look for a solution when trying to debit the card since your bank had not allowed the full amont of the authorization and as we understand this is a common thing to happen, we were flexible and agreed on settle the rest of the bill later during your stay. Concerning the wheelchair assistance, we are deeply sorry we were not able to help you with this demand as you needed, however we assure you that this will be a discussion topic with the direction so we can adquire one and have it within our facilities. Finally as for our houskeeping department, their cleaning hours goes from 9am to 4.30pm. Our team always try their best to get all the rooms cleaned during this time, except for the ones that ask for this service not to be done by putting the "Do not disturb" sign before leaving for the day, which was your case that day and this might explains why your room was not cleaned when you arrived. When you asked for the room to be cleaned we sent someone right away to carry on with the service.With regard to the lady attitude please be assured that we are taking this very seriously, and along with the housekeeping manager we are checking what could have happend and how to properly take into account your feedback and find a way to get better at this matter. We remain at your entire disposal if you would like to speak about that.Kind regards,

Beautifully decorated hotel. Staff on reception were lovely. However the rooms are very small, especially if you have big suitcases. Also the restaurant they have across the street has a very limited menu and service wasn’t amazing (wasn’t terrible either). Very expensive dinner for what you get. We actually ended up have a second dinner elsewhere for a fraction of the cost.

Dear Manpeed, Thank you for staying at the Hotel Monte Cristo and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet all your expectations.For your next stay, we remind you that the Hotel Monte Cristo offers several room categories of different sizes (classic, superior, deluxe).Concerning our restaurant, we are sorry that you had a bad experience, the menu is reduced because it changes every two weeks which allows our chef to use fresh and seasonal products. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next Parisian visit. Kind regards, Maïssa

We didn’t feel like the price we paid was equivalent to what we received. The room was okay but because we had a bath we didn’t have a proper shower. There was a handheld shower head that didn’t reach to the top of my head to wash my hair. Super annoying, get a longer attachment please , I’m not even that tall. The check in was okay. We were told our room wasn’t ready for early check in but we could check in at 3. More like 3:10 and the front desk worker seemed like she didn’t particularly like us. When we checked out they never even asked how our stay was. Not very customer friendly here. The location was good for us but be prepared to use Ubers or the metro to go see any major sites-very obvious information since it’s easy to see that on a map

My partner and I had an excellent stay at Hotel Monte Cristo and would highly recommend it for couples. The rum bar is beautiful although service was poor. We enjoyed the sauna and appreciated the flexibility for scheduling the spa time. The room was very unique and clean; our favorite part was the spacious and bright bathroom. Located very close to amazing restaurants and bars. We would stay here again.

This was a very cute hotel. My room was small but nice. My room was late being ready which I didn’t love because I was very tired from traveling and ready to rest. It appeared as if many people were having the same problem. The breakfast was just “OK”- not the wonderful breakfast you usually get in France, pretty basic. They had a messaging service you could message the front desk but when I did they never responded. No irons in the room, however the spa was lovely.

Very nice hotel. Not cheap though.
Beautiful hotels, beautiful junior Suite. Very well decorated with a lot of taste. Service was super. Especially the barman who gives us two glaces of ice every day to drink our cocktails in the room. The bottle of cocktails in the room was very good. The bar is the largest rum bar in France or something like that.

Really enjoyed our stay at The Monte Christo. Were there for two weeks in The Mercedes Suite. Breakfast was abundant and service friendly. Staff was very accommodating to our needs. Can’t speak for other rooms, but as tasteful, quiet, clean and complete as our room was (selected for claw foot tub) , whoever designed it didn’t stay in it. Shelves tables and seating could be designed to be more “maximized” for the space. Just a suggestion. The area was great. Lots of cafes, markets and metro a short walking distance from the hotel. The choice to stay n The 5th made for a true French/Paris experience. All in all a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to book The Monte Christo again!

Wonderful small hotel
Very nice small hotel. The room is very clean and well decorated. The shower is very pleasant. The room is very quiet. There could be some improvements such as having an iron in the room. The breakfast is nice, but lacks some more warm food options like mushrooms or sausages that are usually served for breakfast. The bar is really nice and they serve very tasty cocktails. The swimming pool and sauna are a great addition to the hotel.

The Hotel Monte Cristo is a jewel of a property in 5th arrondissement. Everything about my stay was wonderful. From the deeply considered decor. The sumptuous delicious daily breakfasts. The helpful and attentive staff. Fresh crisp linen and towels every night. A very comfortable bed. Everything was polished and cleaned. Heated towel racks and so many small touches of subtle but well thought out artistry throughout the hotel. Complimentary Alain Ducasse chocolates! And then just walk out the door and turn to the left and you are soon in a delightful neighborhood of cobble stone streets, beautiful presented bijou shops: cheese, pastries, fish, tea, cafes and multiple small 4-8 top restaurants with a variety of delicious food, and some bookstores. A wonderful rum bar down stairs at the hotel for late night conversation and meetings. I will be back again!

We really liked the hotel. Smart and contemporary but retaining traditional character on the outside and boutique quality inside The service was good and the staff friendly Breakfast was a bit carbohydrate heavy and would have been nice for some eggs mixed in with all the pastry. Appreciate it’s COVID but if pastries keep being returned untouched you’d think they’d get the message. Also, paying €1 euro per minute to use the pool is a bit expensive and as I paid best part of £500 for 3 nights I would have expected the use of the pool to be included. The classic room is small but the bathroom well designed and big rain shower a plus Overall I would stay again as the location is excellent and close to plenty of bars and restaurants of high quality

The ladies at the front desk were super friendly and allowed me to practice my limited French. Rum bar is very cool and great selection. The building is old and charming but rooms are nicely updated and with roomy showers and soft beds. The ONLY downside to the hotel, and the reason why price is fair, is that it’s located a bit peripherally in the 5eme arrondissement so you really need to Uber or take the subway to get to any of the major sites of Paris except the Pantheon. Jogging in nearby Luxembourg gardens is nice but gardens are about a kilometer away.

The hotel is located in an accessible area less than a ten minute walk from the Pantheon, and within a few minutes of a bustling and interesting old street full of cafes and restaurants (Rue Mouffetard). The hotel itself and our room were lovely, and the hotel staff were very nice. My only (very minor) complaints are that I personally didn't find the bed to be very comfortable - it was very firm, but if that's what you prefer, it would be fine, and there was a bit of noise during the night from the street below now and then (but that could be remedied by requesting a room on a higher floor). Otherwise, I would highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again.
