Grand Arden Monaco Nelson

Suffered a power cut to the room around 8am Wasn't able to boil the jug Came back on about an hr later

Location

Tiny room. No dining facilities. No ideas as to where to find a drink or a restaurant. No lounge or community facility. No breakfast. Dated decor. Reception in huge room was strange when Reception cubby holes not functional.

A large room with a good view, watching the sunset over the water was stunning

Reception hours were limited, the on-siite restaurant was closed (luckily the hotel across the road was open and the food was great) Dark and gloomy common areas, felt like the place was deserted.

Location is great and quaint setting

Receptionist not exactly friendly or accommodating

Nice old building

Somehow they don’t take care as they should - eg cleaning the rooms was done with rooms open. As a guest you don’t need that.

Nice big room, very comfortable.

There was strange noises coming from the atticm sounded like mice or something. Scurrying noises most of the evening but never during the day but then I was out most of the day.

Very comfortable bed, good shower pressure.

No bike stand on property, surprising when on a cycle route and there's an adjacent eatery. Honest Lawyer has many. Receptionist gave key to my travel companion when he used the booking name. No confirmation of identity or thought for further security of booking or room. Clearly didn't recognise the name as feminine.
