“quaint hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Have stayed at the Monopol previously and the hotel is still as charming with the beautiful flower displays, all the staff are so friendly and helpful. Love this typically Spanish resort and the Monopol is in a great central location. Although the food was OK for a 3 star, there was not the choice of food as on previous visit and warm food at breakfast tended to be cold ! but would not stop me from returning.

Room Tip: ask for a bedroom with balcony

“Charming Exterior”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed 8 nights B&B at the Monopol. The front of the hotel is charming and the Palm lobby, we had looked in on a previous visit to PDLC and this together with the central location was why I booked. However the rooms are outdated but clean we had a balcony room at the back of the hotel which unfortunately did not get any sun, I would say forget the church bells ringing and try to get a balcony at the front overlooking the square where you can sit and watch the world go by. The big let down at the hotel was the breakfast the food was not of a good quality the juices were watered down squash, coffee out of a machine they did have teabags where you made your own. Bread was a big let down cheap and the pastries the same every day, I think they had been previously frozen, no fresh fruit, not even a banana.
The flower heads arranged every day on the hotel steps were quite charming, but perhaps less money on flowers and up the quality of the breakfast would be better!!! The pool area was cleaned every day and never any problem with a sun bed. A great location and good value for money.

Room Tip: Balcony rooms overlooking the square are the most interesting.

“Nice, but a bit outdated hotel in a great spot”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

We've stayed about a week in this hotel and it was ok for us. The interior is outdated, which is part of the charm. But the beds were really too old (more than charming old I'd say). The location is magnificent and the people rather friendly. We found it a good place to explore the island, away from the tourist traps (Cristianos / Americas).

Room Tip: Ask for a double bed, they are slightly better than the single ones

“What a gem of a hotel ...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

Great hotel, great staff, great price and brilliant central location.

Cannot fault the place as it is exactly what we look for as a couple.

The only extra I would have liked is air conditioning as it was very humid during our stay, but that is being very picky coming from a Lincolnshire Oick!

“Good Value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

OK so when I arrived first I was not impressed with the size of my room and the fact that it was at the side of the hotel overlooking a street and some apartments. Also for the light sleepers out there the hotel is opposite a Church that has a bell which chimes 4 times an hour between 7am and 12pm. That said give the hotel was €30 per night including breakfast and has a lovely lobby area with free wifi, pool area though small is nice and has a bar that stays open to 12pm and the staff continued to be nice to me despite the fact that I was usually the last back to the hotel every night and had to ring the bell to be let in I have to say I would recommend it. The location is perfect 2 mins from Plaze del Charco (the main square) and a 15 minute walk from Playa Jardin and 10 from Playa Martianez. If I was going again I would ask for a bigger room preferably with a balcony but given what I paid for my stay it was good value.

Room Tip: Ask for a balcony room and mention you are a light sleeper!
