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.
