a small room, a bath room without ventilation, poor accoustic isolation do not fit with a five star classification in a asuperior room...
breakfast was good and luckyly all the employees were very kind and helpfull.

Having had to check out of the pont royal due to the appalling service rude and abnxious staff that seems to be common complaint clearly ignored by the general manager it was a pleasure to come back here having stayed years ago the friendliness helpfulness and kindness of the staff could not be more different from the pont royal even on checking in a bottle of champagne was sent to our room as it was my birthday they couldn't have done more to make our stay comfortable and helped recover from our disgraceful treatment receved next door stay here different claSs

Wow, this hotel was just what we wanted- it was typically Parisian and so luxurious! Great central location, a few minutes walk away from the Louvre and situated near a fantastic boulangerie that sells amazing sandwiches. The service was brilliant and all the staff were very helpful. The rooms were a little small compared to others I have stayed in, but this is Paris and they were decorated perfectly. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It really is a super place to stay, especially if it your first time in Paris and if you want a very chic hotel.

I've stayed at the Montalembert 5 times now and have decided to continue staying there for all my future visits to Paris. The physical building is really not spectacular--still beautiful for the most part, but nothing grand; the main "birdcage" elevator is out-of-service more often than it's in and the postage stamp elevator to its right can be funky. But rooms are clean and cheerful (I like the contemporary rooms more than the so-called classic rooms) and the public spaces are very comfortable and a great place for a cocktail and conversation if one chooses. The absolute best feature of the Montalembert, however, is the staff! Where did they find so many professional, helpful, patient, and overall fabulous people? Whoever does the hiring there should be commended for their good taste and people skills. [Note: Room 66 is available anytime that I'm not in Paris--if I'm in town, though, it's mine!]
