Scene
This budget property is bright and convenient.
Tucked into a four-story building
surrounded by storefronts and cafes, Hotel Monte Carlo looks a little rundown from the outside but inside it is brightly colored and welcoming. Entering through glass doors
featuring a pair of bronze cats, guests find a brass chandelier hanging in front of the small
reception desk and walls are painted bright orange and sea green. There are plenty of
colorful paintings on the walls and trinkets lined on the open loft overhead.
The small breakfast area has no windows but is also bright orange and full of
colorful paintings, cute light fixtures, and small wooden tables. There is a
tiny elevator but no bar or restaurant and no outdoor area. Guests vary greatly
in age and nationality. Most are tourists but there are a few business
travelers even though the hotel is not equipped with a meeting room or business
center.
Location
Surrounded by shops and restaurants in the Ninth District of Paris
Located on the busy Rue du
Faubourg Montmartre in a popular shopping area of Paris’ Ninth District, this
hotel is surrounded by stores of every kind as well as bars and cafes. The
famous passage Verdeau is just down the street and four Metro lines are within
a 10-minute walk -- Line 7 at Le Peletier, 8 and 9 at Grand Boulevards, and 12 at
Notre Dame de Lorette. The Monte Carlo is also a five-minute walk to the Grand
Boulevards and close to Montmartre (a 15-minute walk) and Grands Magasins
(a 10-minute walk). Even The Louvre is just a 20-minute walk away. Charles de
Gaulle Airport is 35 minutes away by car.
Rooms
Clean and colorful, but small with no air-conditioning
Like the lobby and breakfast room,
most rooms are decorated in vibrant colors and nice mirrors and curtains.
Each room bears the name of a famous city (Prague and Miami, for example) and is equipped
with free (but limited) Wi-Fi access, an older model flat-screen TV, a wooden
desk and chair, and a small safe. There is no air-conditioning in the rooms but
most are equipped with floor fans. Rooms facing the street are subject to some traffic noise. Single rooms share a bathroom in the hall
but are equipped with private sinks. Bathrooms in other rooms are extremely
compact but are covered from floor to ceiling with vibrantly colored tile and
have stand-up showers and hairdryers.
Features
Buffet breakfast and free Wi-Fi, but no bar or restaurant
The Monte Carlo is a simple but
warm, family-run hotel that offers free (but limited) Wi-Fi in rooms and in the
breakfast room. A buffet breakfast of cereal, yogurt, bread, and jam is
served for a small extra charge. There is no bar or restaurant. Parking is
available for an extra charge at a nearby public parking garage.
