I mean, my title says it all. It is so small you ban barely breathe. Even just by entering into the lift you realize it, in which only one person can fit and an adaquately average sized luggage. Finally arriving at the room I was like OH MY GOD. The "hall" in between rooms is just about the size of the lift, with all rooms so close to each other you feel like you are about to suffocate. And then you enter the room. It is so small and when we asked for an upgrade he said that there are worse and that they were all full, when in fact we had actually seen empty rooms in the hotel (being just as worse anyway). There was no balcony in the room when in fact many of the rooms shown online had one, and they seemed a 100 times bigger and nicer! The toilet has no window, and especially if you are sharing the room with another person it is incredibly embarassing to do your business.
My friend and I left our luggage and went out of the hotel like half an hour after we tried to settle in, looking for another hotel. And we were very very lucky as there is one just next door, Hotel rue de Battignolies, which is 3 star, has air conditioning, has much nicer and spacious rooms and they actuallycharged us just 30Euros per night (in contrast with the crappy Mont dore charging us 32.50 Euros per night)
And oh, it gets better. When we went up to the manager of the Hotel Mont Dore to tell him that we do not want to stay at the hotel he said we will have to pay for two whole nights even though we leave! First of all, customers are only supposed to pay for one night when they decide to leave and second of all, may I point out that when we arrived at the hotel they did not even know about us (we had made our reservation online and apparently the data got lost or whatever lame excuse they gave us). So the booking was done there and then as we arrived.
We never slept one whole night there, we went to the other hotel immediately, and stood up for ourselves and paid for only one night. The staff is really unfriendly at all by the way. When me and my friend first entered the hotel he was giving us these creepy smiles and looks. Ugh! Need I say more?
The only good thing about this hotel is the excellent location, which is just few steps away from the metro and it is a really god neighbourhood. But for that go to the next hotel, it is just next door and tons better.
DO NOT STAY AT THE HOTEL DU MONT D'ORE! EVER! IT'S HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE! and do not believe any of the photos shown online, they have absolutely nothing to do with what the hotel really looks like.
