Aparthotel Adagio Monaco Palais Josephine

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.

from the moment we arrived(to a 5 hour wait for the room which was obviously not occupied so why ??) to the moment we left it was awfull,staff incompetent, uninterested,LAZY and arrogant ,ON CHECK OUT THE RECEPTION GUY WAS ASLEEP IN THE OFFICE,no cleaning or bed change for 7 day unless you pay"DISGUSTING"who does that to guest. more a tenanted apartment building with some dubious people in and out. Everything and i mean everything is an expensive problem AVOID 100%.

The room was comfortable and wifi worked well. Location was quite convenient both for going to the beach and the train station, and a supermarket and 2 markets were nearby. On the other hand, we only found 1 sports channel on TV (in German, and they mostly talked instead of showing the Olympic games), and outside it was very noisy (e.g. garbage trucks came at around midnight almost every day; moreover, a couple of noisy eating places were just across the street).
