Fairmont Monte Carlo

We will return for a third visit. Staff were pleasant and professional at all times. A delayed check-in, but one member of staff came and asked if we would like water and it was definitely worth the wait. Our preferred room was granted - thank you. Nikki staff staff were absolutely amazing and made hotel guests just as welcomed as paying visitors - thank you to the lovely ladies. The security staff at the Beach Club do, however, need to use some manners - they need to smile and move to the side when guests are entering - too intimidating when it is totally unnecessary. This was on a number of occasions and not an isolated incident. Overall fabulous stay, excellent breakfast and room service. In my opinion, the best location in Monte Carlo. Well done and see you again very soon.

BAR REVIEW. Came here late Saturday night for drinks at the lobby bar—so happy they were open late! Service was excellent, the bartenders made great cocktails and shots. It’s a great chill area for drinks and I believe it has a view of the water but it was too dark to see—probably beautiful during the day). Hotel itself looks nice and spacious.

We stayed in Fairmont for one night with the plan to come back after four days and spend four more nights in Fairmont. However, we were very disappointed with the hotel policy in trying to force us to pay for 2 rooms although the one we have booked online was sufficient. For more context, I am travelling with my wife and our two small children (7 and 4 yo) and, although we've booked a room with 2 double beds (more than enough to suit our needs), we were informed that it is the hotel's policy to not allow more than 3 persons in the room. In other words, we should have booked 2 rooms just because of the 4 year old. Most probably the second room would have stayed empty as the two double beds were more than enough for us, as you may observe from the photo. When asked why this policy, we were told that it is for security reasons, but to be honest our feeling was that it was for their own profit, not really caring about our needs. As it can be observed from the photo the 2 double beds are more than enough to suit 2 adults and 2 small children (7 and 4 yo). In addition to that, the shower head from the bathroom was broken, one of the chairs on the balcony was broken (see attached foto) and it's been quite a while since anyone had washed the balcony. Food on the top floor restaurant was also disappointing. So this hotel is not children friendly. Stay away if you are travelling as a family with small children and you don't feel like paying for rooms you don't really need. In the end we stayed in the booked room for one night, without paying for a second one, and we cancelled the other stay. The front desk didn't seem to care when cancelling our second stay and informing them of the reason.

Location is great. Room was nice and clean. Staff - friendly and well trained .. yet the bell (front door) staff most likely hit our car while parking it. I saw the hood bend too late though. Take note to check your car after they bring it from the parking.

We absolutely had our expectations exceeded with our stay here! Staff were very professional and took great care checking us in and having concierge help us to our suite. (Thank you Erick). The suite is incredible and perfect for our family with F1 car enthusiasts. Each of the 3 balconies in our suite offered spectacular views of the coast, and that infamous hairpin turn would draw our family out to watch cars day/night. Sitting or lounging on any balcony we could see many incredible cars and yachts with the Monte Carlo back drop. What a view! The service was also top notch from the second we got out of our vehicle. We truly loved the stay at this hotel. Fantastic location to walk to excellent restaurants they recommended and helped book for us. Very central to walk to shopping or site seeing. Our family enjoyed both pools and the views too. Breakfast at the restaurant was a perfect way to start our day with local fresh foods. We loved it here!

My stay at the Fairmont Monte Carlo was a truly memorable experience. The sea view from the first-floor lounge while enjoying a glass of wine was absolutely stunning, peaceful and unforgettable. Enjoying Nikki Beach was an unforgettable part of my Monaco experience, the ambiance and service were outstanding. I would especially like to thank the wonderful staff who made my stay so comfortable and pleasant. Guillaume, who kindly escorted me to my room / The French gentleman at check-in, who was very welcoming and professional / The Italian lady at check-out, who handled everything smoothly / The young man who took care of my luggage / The Italian waiter who jokingly compared me to Lucy Liu/ And all the staff at the lounge and Nikki Beach, who were consistently friendly and attentive. I also appreciated how kind and cheerful the housekeeping staff were. I often ran into them in the hallways, and they always greeted me with a smile, small gestures that made a big difference. Everyone made me smile and reminded me how small, lighthearted interactions can make travel so much more personal and enjoyable. One small moment I truly appreciated was when I called the front desk about a possible late check-out. Though I asked just in case, they generously offered me more time, which allowed me to wrap everything up calmly and leave without stress. Every part of the stay reflected exceptional hospitality, and I would absolutely love to return.

Stayed for my birthday, had the most magnificent time. Will cherish this for eternity. They sent me champagne on my first night and on my birthday sent me cake wishing me happy birthday. I loved it !! 5 star rating! Great services. Don’t hesitate to stay there!

A Deeply Disappointing Experience at Fairmont Monte Carlo – Unworthy of a 5-Star Rating||I stayed at the Fairmont Monte Carlo for 14 nights, expecting the comfort and service of a “home away from home.” Instead, it turned into one of the most frustrating hotel stays I’ve ever had.||From the start, check-in was dishonest. I had a confirmed reservation for a specific room type, but staff insisted I booked something else - and refused to even look at my proof. Only after arguing back and forth did they finally switch the room.||Then came the misinformation. The bellboy told us breakfast was included for all 14 days. When I checked with another staff member, I was told it wasn’t - and would cost €70 per person, per day. When I raised the issue, I was met with excuses, deflection, and zero accountability. I was even laughed at by the front desk when I mentioned how costly their mistake could have been.||The service throughout was equally poor - cold, dismissive, and unprofessional. Not once during my entire stay did I feel welcomed or respected. As a result, I chose not to spend a single cent at any of the hotel’s restaurants or bars, including Nobu and Amoo. They simply did not deserve my business.||Housekeeping was unacceptable. Used shower caps were taken out of the garbage and put back in the shower. Basic amenities like body wash, tissues, and slippers were never properly restocked.||What upset me the most wasn’t one single mistake - it was the pattern of negligence, dishonesty, and lack of care that lasted the full two weeks. Not one staff member ever followed up or took true responsibility.||The “5-star” label may apply to the building, but not to the experience. If you’re expecting luxury, hospitality, or even basic honesty, look elsewhere.
