Was slightly nervous after reading some of the reviews but what a lovely surprise on our arrival. Incredible location close to the casino, port and station and perfect hotel to explore Monaco. Rooms very clean and quiet. Would highly recommend as also great value for money. Tip: if you are arriving by train. At station, exit onto princess boulevard, turn right and a few yards later you will see the lift on the other side of the road. Go up this and then opposite to next lift. Go up again and then turn left. Hotel a few yards on right. Literally about 7 mins max from station.

“Good option for staying near Monte Carlo if you want to save money.”

Overall, I liked this apart-hotel. There’s nothing majorly bad to mention about my stay. The hotel is located right on the border of Monaco. Just head one street down the hill, and you’re in Monte Carlo. Its location outside Monaco is the main reason why the rates here aren’t as expensive as the hotels in Monte Carlo. For example, I paid €620 for 3 nights (€206 per night, including all fees, plus, the nightly pet fee) for a Comfort 1-Bedroom Apartment, while even the cheapest basic hotels in Monte Carlo were at least €350 per night on my dates, and 4- or 5-star hotels were a minimum of €500 per night for standard rooms. You can clearly see the difference, right? So, Aparthotel Adagio is a great option if you want to stay close to Monte Carlo while saving money. Also, the price I paid was for up to 5 people in the apartment. If you split this rate between two couples or five friends, it becomes a very affordable deal! Keep that in mind. However, the downside is the hotel’s location on a hill. It’s easy enough to walk down to Monte Carlo, but the climb back up is a bit tough. For reference, it’s about a 12-minute walk from the hotel to the Casino de Monte-Carlo (the heart of Monaco). My check-in was fast and smooth. I was allowed to check in an hour early, as I had requested the day before my arrival. The front desk guy that day was nice and honored my request for a room on a high floor, giving me an apartment on the 4th floor. However, the overall attitude of the front desk staff was not very friendly - most of them didn’t smile or seem to care when they saw me, which was a bit off-putting. My Comfort 1-Bedroom Apartment (#405) was very spacious. The design was basic, but I felt comfortable during my 3-day stay. Most of the furniture was in good condition, and the apartment had all the necessary amenities. As I mentioned earlier, I was happy to be on the 4th floor because the apartment got plenty of natural light, and I had beautiful views of the mountains and city from the large outdoor balcony, which had a table and chairs to sit and relax. Having a small kitchen was a big plus, although I didn’t use most of the amenities for cooking. I only used the microwave, which worked fine, and boiled water once in the electric kettle. The refrigerator was a good size and could fit a lot, including large 2L soda bottles. However, the sofas in the living room were clearly old, looked dirty, and were uncomfortable - very hard and stiff. They definitely need to be replaced. The TVs in both the living room and bedroom were outdated and small, so that was also disappointing. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable, and the large closet could easily fit all our belongings. The bathroom, while not huge, was comfortable. I appreciated the large, deep bathtub. The toilet was separate from the bathroom and located near the front door. The bathroom amenities were not impressive - I didn’t like their smell. The Wi-Fi worked fine but could have been faster. Also, I want to mention that the apart-hotel had a mini-kiosk on the first floor if you needed to buy some snacks or drinks. However, after 10 p.m. (if I remember correctly), the main hotel door is locked, and you need to enter a code to get in. I found this a bit annoying and unnecessary. To wrap up, I would definitely recommend this apart-hotel. The overall quality is very good, and the rates are reasonable for being so close to Monte Carlo, making it easy to enjoy the Monaco experience. Plus, it’s pet-friendly! So, if you have a pet like I do, you can bring them along for a small extra fee.

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment which was spacious and in a great location. Less than a 10 minute walk to the train station and the same to the Casino area. Ideal for families exploring the area . Plenty of extra bed covers available in a wardrobe and the beds in the living room area consisted of a single pull out bed and a double. I wouldn’t say the beds were the most comfortable but adequate for a short stay. The A/C was also extremely noisy but also very welcome as it was very hot while we were there. We didn’t avail of the breakfast as there are so many cafe options within a 5/10 minute walk. Overall I would recommend staying here if looking for somewhere for a family and within walking distance of everything. It is basic but once again very adequate for short stays and with lovely staff at the front desk.
