Hotel Monte Cristo

房間不錯，隔音效果好，位置也不錯，但房間裏沒放垃圾桶，衹在衞生間放了個mini小桶，我是拿了個大塑料袋放垃圾的。。 服務太差：每個服務人員的態度都像欠他/她們錢一樣，非常不nice，特別是吃早餐時，東西少也就算了，還想拿2個雞蛋做出一百種花樣來，顯得很“**”，本來就應該是個自助早餐，非弄得像吃個法國大餐似的，關鍵是吃不飽。

Hotel Monte Cristo is a boutique hotel situated in the historic Kotor Old Town. Hotel is about 5 minutes’ walk from the main entrance and it's almost the same distance towards the North Gate. Cars are not permitted inside the old town, hence, just like any other hotels inside the walls, you will have to walk with your bags towards the hotel. The original architecture seems to have been carefully preserved or restored, but it also has all the modern amenities. You have to climb up the steps to get to the hotel lobby situated on the first floor. Our room was on the second floor, hence, we had to climb again with all our bags, which was not a pleasant experience. There was no hotel staff to help us with the bags. The room, like the hotel, is styled in a vintage/old-fashioned manner with antique wooden furniture and cupboards. All rooms offer air conditioning, TV, free Wi-Fi, a minibar, electric kettle, telephone, locker, bathrobes, and slippers. The bed was saggy and not at all comfortable. It’s high time they change the mattresses. Bathroom has free toiletries and hair dryer. However, it was too small. There is no proper exhaust for the toilet. If you open the windows, then the opposite building is so near and there is no privacy. Breakfast is served in the restaurant located on the ground floor with its entrance from the street. Breakfast was included in the price of the room. Had a good buffet choice with a nice spread of meats, cheeses, breads, olives, cucumber, capsicum, cereals, pancakes, pastries, croissants, yogurts and loads of fresh fruit. Omelets were made to order and coffee or tea was served on the table as per our requirements. The staff were very professional and courteous in their approach, particularly the restaurant staff who very happily and patiently attended to us. Though I read several posts that it’s very noisy at night, we didn’t have any such issues. Maybe since we were visiting in low season, tourists were less and some of the restaurants were closed. Hence, the room rent was also on the lower side. There are plenty of restaurants and bars inside the old town. The tourism office is situated just outside the main entrance walls. Overall, the property is good, but, if you have luggage, ask for rooms in the ground floor room right next to reception.

The hotel is in the historic center of this old town. No cars can enter, so you have to walk from the free parking spot outside the town wall. The cart that brings your luggage to the car was not available upon our arrival in the afternoon, so we (72 years old and slightly walking-impaired) had no choice but to "help" ourselves. At check-out the cart brought our out. The hotel is an historic town house without elevator but very steep stairs. Guess where they put us up? Two floors up. The staff had to carry our luggage up and down, which worked well. The rooms are nice except for the lighting. A lamp was flickering so we had to remove the bulb. Bath was extremely tiny, with the appliances looking like from 60 years ago. We had to head it with the hairdryer, there was no other heating. The staff was friendly, though, and very helpful. The service at the restaurant was swift and courteous. With the food being less than four-star we decided to eat elsewhere the nights following our first one. Breakfast was ok but no big thing. Cooked egg dishes were made to order and very tasty, on the other hand. The worst of our complaint has been documented in reviews here for nine years now - the unbearable Boom-Boom noise from a next-door Techno bar that stopped after midnight. Only then it was possible to sleep in the pretty comfy beds. The management does not seem to want to correct this situation. We can recommend the hotel to young people who can climb steep stairs and do not mind sleepless nights.

Location was perfect for exploring Old Town Kotor! Keep in mind no cars allowed in Old Town so need to haul your luggage from one of the gates to the hotel but it’s not a very long distance, about a 4-5 mins walk. Restaurants and bars all around. Keep in mind it can get noisy at night but we closed the windows and turned on air conditioning which helped block out the noise. Room is spacious and bathroom facilities were well equipped given that the building itself is quite old. Overall had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend!

Fantastic stay. Very hospitable, the bed was very comfortable, and the location was prime right in old town. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Great location with a very convenient parking facility and easy access to everything. The staff was extra nice and polite and the owners were very classy. Great value.

Amazing staff, amazing breakfast, excellent location. I love Kotor !! Can’t wait to go back to Monte*****

Super friendly and cosy hotel in the heart of Kotor old town. Good breakfast and comfy beds. Staff was helpful and considerate.

We had a wonderful stay in this charming hotel right in the centre of Kotor’s Old Town. The hotel is gorgeous, the ‘old’ furniture in the room sets the tone with sweeping curtains tied back romantically + shutters. I have honestly never stayed in such a comfy bed in a hotel ever, the pillows + sheets were perfect too. I felt I was in an old movie opening the shutters every morning to hear the bustling life from the town. The staff who work in the hotel are all so lovely, friendly + kind. The breakfasts were delicious + you could order eggs cooked freshly whatever way you wanted. The feta cheese is the best I’ve ever tasted. The staff serving were attentive + pitched it all perfectly. The only thing I would mention is that if you are noise adverse, enjoy an early night + don’t want to submerge yourself into the ‘Old Town’ then perhaps choose a quieter location. The hotel is located between a jazz bar + a cafe bar. I’m not into jazz music but it sounded good + the cafe bar is Euro type pop. This music does go on until 1am but after that it stops, the folk seem to disappear quickly + then it is quiet. Breakfast is until 10am so plenty of time to sleep. We stayed in a triple room which was great for our teen son having his own space. It is near the reception but they are considerate to this. Thank you for a lovely stay.
