Firstly this is NOT a hotel! It is a residence which by French standards is completely different. Do not book this if you are looking for a 4 star hotel next to Monaco. The prices are comparable with other 4 star residences but far cheaper than hotels.
The equivalent in America is serviced apartments and they do this incredibly well.
Yes, the building needs a little loving care and attention but the economic climate makes that very difficult for hoteliers all over the world. However, the rooms and the linens are clean and acceptable.
I live in Monaco and use this hotel for my children and grandchildren. The rooms are large and mostly suites with a kitchen and separate bedroom.
The terraces are huge and the view over the Port D'ail is incredible. If you are prepared to lower your expectations a little you will have a great vacation here.
If you want absolute 4/5 star treatment stay next door at the Marriot for 3 times the price or the Hotel de Paris.
A new restaurant has just opened in Port D'ail designed by Phillipe Stark and is looking to be a phenomenal success. It is not cheap however, but this is Monaco!
