My family of 4 and I were really excited to stay at the Aparthotel Adagio Monaco Palais Josephine however we were contacted the morning of our check in date by the hotel reception saying that there had been some technical issues, and that we would need to instead stay at their sister hotel, the Aparthotel Adagio Monte Cristo. We agreed (considering there wasn't much else we could do) however we pointed out the main reason we had booked the Palais Josephine was for the rooftop pool, which the Monte Cristo alternate hotel did not have. We were assured we could still use the pool at the Josephine, although it was a 15-minute walk away. We checked in later that day at the Monte Cristo, which was fine however located in a very residential area far from the restaurants and the marina that we had wanted to be closer to. The next day, we did visit the Josephine in order to visit their pool, and we saw the hotel was located in precisely the area we had wanted, with bars, cafes, and a bakery and street market right at the ground floor. Very disappointing considering we had no say in being moved to the 2nd rate Monte Cristo location. What was also very upsetting about this experience was that we had paid more for our room at the Josephine (I reviewed the Monte Cristo during the booking process, which was about EUR 40 cheaper per night than the Josephine) however we were not offered any kind of compensation for the reduction in value of our booking, which I will now be requesting.
