Le Grand Monarque

Nice room. The front desk staff were very helpful!

The property is a cute little hotel in the middle of a grand oak forest. I like the cleanliness, good prices, confortable bed, and friendly staff. The only complain is that WIFI didn't have much signal in our bedroom. We often went to the lobby to use the wifi.

I found this property to have an old-world charm. It's not a modern facility but the rooms were clean and well equipped. The staff was attentive and present. We were in Melun to visit with friends so we were only in the hotel for sleeping though we did partake in the breakfast service twice. The rooms were quiet and cozy (we did have a noisy neighbor one evening - the noise was fine but the smoking in the room was not - we thought it was a no smoking building but they may have been breaking the rules). The breakfast was as expected. Good espresso and coffee machine, bread assortments, cereal, and dried fruits and nuts, and even "American' eggs and bacon (not the best but this is understandable). All in all, we had a lovely stay and would recommend it as it had good value for us. Our only negative was the high heat. We were able to turn off the heat in our room but not in public areas.

Comfortable and convenient hotel. It looks big but is really quite small. The grounds are in need of a gardener but the oak forest in front of the hotel shield it from a very busy road. There is a Buffalo Grill opposite but there is no pedestrian exit so a little difficult in my opinion. The hotel is very close to Vaux le Vicomte and Fontainebleau if like us you like visiting chateaux.
