Hotel Monte Líbano

LEGAL

The rooms, and the hotel generally, really needed better cleaning. The shower also needs replacing. Parking is free, but spaces depend on availability and fill up quickly, so you’ll probably have to leave your car on the street. The TV remote didn’t work. I asked for batteries for three days, but the night reception staff never fixed the problem, and there was no way to turn up the volume on the TV itself.

The location is the one good point. Cleaning only happens every two days, which is unbelievable, and service was very poor. There was just one employee at reception. The elevator is old, and I got stuck inside when its alarm didn’t work. I had to call a colleague who was staying at the hotel for help. When he explained the problem at reception, the response was, “I think it’s working now!” At that price, there are plenty of better options. I absolutely don’t recommend it.

I only stayed here in an emergency. I needed somewhere late at night after a wake, and it was the only place I could find. The hotel was run-down and poorly maintained. My room smelled of cigarettes, the bedding was very dirty, and so was the rest of the hotel. The price doesn’t match the condition. I usually pay this much for clean hotels, and this place was nowhere near the standard I’m used to.
