Hôtel Monte Cristo

The communication with the hotel, prior to arrival, via booking.com messenger was excellent. I had actually booked Hotel Vinci, but cancelled and changed to Monte Cristo, due to their lack of proper communication. Monte Cristo booked us hotel transfers prior to arrival, gave me hotel recommendations, booked our pool access, and were on hand at all times to answer all questions to allow us to fully enjoy the experience! We were also very grateful for the excellent cleaning service provided through our stay. Our room was kindly cleaned and replenished daily, a lovely treat after a days exploring the city. We found the room beautiful and very Parisian, the size was very good - we booked the deluxe, I believe a lot of rooms in Paris are small, this room size and bathroom were perfect. The window doors opened up beautifully as shown in the images. We slept very comfortably. We walked into the stunning Latin Quarter daily, the popular Rue Mouffetard area had the best vibe and was so safe and welcoming. I found all Parisians more than happy to help and be kind, the streets immaculate. We found the best way to get around the city was to download the Vélib app and to cycle using the electric bikes. Minimal effort required and cycle lanes everywhere. Tip - green bikes are manual, teal colour electric. There is a drop off / pick up point end of our street. I wouldn't recommend Lime bikes as they need to be left within Paris city boundaries, not as far up as Latin Quarter. Would also recommend Bateaux Parisians evening meal cruise with a window seat - pre book online & hotel will book you taxi. Also recommend cycling to Montmartre, absolutely stunning! Although cycle fast via 10th Arr. Moulin Rouge is also over this side. I found the metro intimidating so electric bikes were our choice of travel.

There is so much to live! First the warm, welcoming staff were so precious! Especially, Serena who deserves a raise for her excellent hospitality! She helped me so much with learning about Alexander Dumas, recommending cute French restaurants & finding my way to the Dinosaur museum! I’m extra grateful for her time & energy. Also, the pool & sauna are so lovely! Perfect for all the walking around!! My room was so clean & fresh and the bed was like a cloud!! I had a lovely sleep!!

Lovely boutique hotel.. such really nice staff.. Barman amazing…spotlessly clean and lovely products, dressing gowns and slippers… pool and sauna..lovely added extra… lovely bars and restaurants near by.. 😊

Great location. Beautiful and elegant room. Bright and spacious bathroom. The breakfast hostess was exceedingly kind and cheerful as well as the brunette receptionist who checked us in and made an effort to arrange a taxi for us.

Quirky but everything was very well done - decor (we loved the glass cabinets with birds and other animals in the entrance), to our cosy and beautiful room on the 6th floor with views across the rooftops of Paris. The bar, with the biggest collection of rums in France (3rd in the world) was a real surprise and delight. Joseph in the bar is a real connoisseur - definitely the place to try rum and learn about it. The bar also has a great vibe and the bar food is spot on - it’s a great place to chill. The swimming pool and sauna were lovely - really a treat for central Paris hotel. The staff were all welcoming and really want to please. The location is unbeatable- local cafes and restaurants everywhere, rue Mouffetard is a 60 second walk away, with its food stores, bakeries, delicatessens and so much more. In Rue Monge we can recommend Jules Restaurant, but there are many, many others to try. Plus the markets…!! Jardin des Plantes is a short walk - also not to be missed…and of course all of Paris is at your fingertips with the metro (3 min walk) and bus services
