Aparthotel Adagio Monaco Palais Josephine

This was my second stay at the Aparthotel Adagio Monaco Palais Josephine and once again I enjoyed it - I was in a smaller room this time as it was a short stay, but on a higher floor and a great view of Monaco. Rooms are clean, Wifi is great and the location is perfect. My only two notes: if you can't find the light switch for the light above the couch try looking behind the pillows! Secondly, if you happen to be there on the first Wednesday of the month and on the ocean side of the hotel, don't freak out when the National Alert siren goes off at noon. It is not the end of the world.. just a drill...

Unfortunately this hotel was way below our expectations. My boyfriend and me, who often go to Monte Carlo, stayed in this hotel and I am sorry to say it is the worst we have ever stayed in Monaco. Just one towel in the bathroom, a persisting noise of probably water cables/furniture/air conditioning during the night, which made it difficult to sleep. The structure is old, the location miserable. This is not what I expect from an hotel asking for approximately € 300 per night. I'd rather pay €500 per night but go in a better hotel. If I had known the hotel was like that, I would have definitely not chosen it. It can be an acceptable solution for those interested in staying 5 mins walking from the casino (the distance from the casino is, in my opinion, the only positive thing), but the prices are unacceptable for this kind of structure. I am sorry.

I had a long stay in this hotel, its truly lovely, the people are very nice and kind. Nadia ( one of the staff) was extremely helpful, she made the impossible happen for me. the whole team is lovely and they were very helpful with all my enquiries.

The apartment had one bedroom and big terrace in the 5th floor. It was very clean and has all we needed. Wifi worked well, but the elevator from the lobby stopped working on the second day. From that day we climed up to the 3. floor to the 2. elevator, because it's operated from there. The location is great, a supermarket and 2 market is very close to the building. The hotel has private parking spaces in the garage below the building.

Before choosing this place, we had visited the premises and we were shown a nice -bedroom apartment in the 7th floor. Upon arrival, we were given one in the second floor, which in reality is a ground floor (indicated as such in the plans inside the building; consider that is a steep place). Strange enough and due to the layout of the building, in order to reach our flat you had to go one floor up, walk a long corridor, and then go one floor down. The apartment -clean and having all you need- had two bedrooms, the main one with a small terrace leading right to a street corner were drunkards and similar people like to gather; not too noisy at nights, though, but sometimes we were not feeling safe (except from the moments when the local police was coming to control them). In that room you find a fitted-in closet with hangers in one side, and shelves in the other. Well, supposedly, as it was only an empty space without shelves), nor possibility to hang anything. I complaint to the reception desk, but obviously nothing was corrected. The other closets in the flat were ok. The open area for kitchen, dining and living room was big enough, with a small balcony. Pity that is very far away from the wifi router and you don't get any wifi signal there: impossible to work from the only table in the flat. We complaint: nothing happened (well, actually yes: we were allow to bring to the flat (we had to do it ourselves: no staff wanted to do it), a small table to place in the bedroom, so that I could work. Out of the two elevators in the building, one was permanently broken; the second one was in function only half of the time: guests having flats in the upper floors were dragging the suitcases up and down the stairs. We were told that it was difficult to find someone to repair them. During our stay there were some refurbishing works in the corridor: not nice to spend your holidays in between workers that are actually scratching, rubbing and painting your own door, having the corridor covered with plastics to protect the carpets (why, as they were the filthiest I've seen in many years?), and taking care of of approaching to the walls to avoid being stained with fresh paint. The staff was not really friendly, but neither they were rude. The location is great (that was the reason of our choice), right at the gates of Monaco. Said so, the people in the neighborhood was very very limit: definitely not what you expect from some streets that close to Monaco.
