Hotel Monte Cristo

Love the Monte Cristo Hotel. Lovely surprise that it was the prior Hotel Cardinal upgraded very nicely.

Absolutely stunning! Beautifully apportioned rooms with an amazingly friendly staff... how is the place only 4 stars?? The location is amazing too... a short walk from the Latin Quarter filled with amazing food to eat and wine to drink! I would highly recommend staying here if you can. Completely worth every penny. PS: get the breakfast and thank me later... so delicious!!

We aimed for a boutique hotel as we went as a couple and had an amazing stay in a standard room facing the back of the property which was very quiet. Sleep quality was perfect, and the air conditioning was centrally controlled, powerful and silent. There was no tub, but a large walk-in 2 head shower for two. The sink was large and there was a towel warmer. The size of the room made it a bit challenging at times to navigate two carry-on suitcases as there wasn't enough space to have them open and also access all corners easily. There was no desk, and there is no closet, but only a classy new thatch wardrobe. We didn't want to spend to much time in the room, so didn't prioritize these things anyway. The brand new restaurant across the street, Le Grand Dictionnaire is run by young, energetic and friendly chef Jean-Baptiste (a Top Chef contestant who formerly worked at MASA Paris) was so fabulous we ate there twice! The hotel is 3 minutes walking distance to our favorite square and foodie street (rue Mouffetard). We had an in room massage by Justine, who was just excellent (highly recommended)! The long (but narrow) pool was luke warm and great for quick swim and post tourist walk. And the brand new sauna was really pleasant, one could taste the cedar off gassing! We will come back again! Oh and breakfast A+++!!!! They will deliver to the room too! Wifi was surprisingly fast! The service was from a young new staff, but great for French standards.

Stayed there for two nights on our first trip to Paris. Probably, the best hotel I've ever stayed it. Perfect location, very helpful and friendly staff, wonderful rooms (big by European standards), spa, pool, great meals, lovely atmosphere. Just loved it. Will stay here next time in Paris.

Wonderfully polite members of staff! Exceptional kindness which is the MAIN feature of any pleasant stay! So many details that show guests that they are to enjoy their time in this bijou hotel
