Cheapest of all, this youth hostel has an outstanding location right by the beach (and close to the train station): the dorms are simple but well-kept. Rates include sheets and breakfast; half-board is available.
This 1950s seaside hotel with rooftop terrace bar is a great option right by the port. Seven of the 11 rooms have fabulous balconies overlooking the yachts. All rooms were undergoing renovation at the time of writing.
Forget the Ritzes, Plazas and Metropoles of this world - if there was a catwalk contest between the globe's glitziest hotels, Monaco's historic Hôtel de Paris would surely take the jewel-encrusted tiara.
This popular and reliable hotel is another bargain option in the busy quarter of La Condamine, and makes a handy base for exploring the port as well as the nearby districts of Monaco-Ville and Fontvieille.
After the architectural excesses of some of Monaco's older hotels, the high-rise design of the Hôtel Mirabeau comes as something of a shock, but don't be fooled by its somewhat utilitarian exterior.
There's no getting around it - Monaco is definitely one of those places where you get what you pay for, and the Hotel de France looks (and feels) every inch the budget hotel - but in a city of stratospheric prices, it represents pretty amazing va.
A little slice of Las Vegas comes to the Monte Carlo beachfront at this self-contained oasis of indulgence, situated on a private promontory just to the east of plage du Larvotto.
High-tech urban chic best describes this large boutique hotel in Fontvieille. Rooms are beautifully decorated in designer greys, elegant striped fabrics and 'back to nature' bathrooms with bamboo towel racks and elegant wooden furniture.
Hidden away behind the Port Hercule, the Balmoral is a decent option if you're looking to explore the principality without having to remortgage your house in the process.
This Monte Carlo classic was comprehensively refurbished in 2004 by the world-famous Parisian designer Jacques Garcia, and has since reclaimed its rightful place as one of the principality's plushest hotels.
It might look like a corporate conference centre from the outside (and a pretty ugly one at that), but the Port Palace is proof positive that you should never judge a book (or a hotel) by its cover in mercurial Monaco.
The Hôtel Hermitage is one of Monaco's super-swish pamper palaces. The rooms are understated sophistication, with cool blues, classic golds or stylish crimsons.
Perched above a traffic-thronged junction in upper Monte Carlo, the Alexandra has an enviable position just steps from the place du Casino, so you'll certainly be bang in the middle of things - but light sleepers should definitely think twice bef.
Teetering over the Monte Carlo waterfront on what is quite possibly the most expensive patch of land in mainland France, the huge Fairmont hotel is an old favourite for conference delegates and Grand Prix goers, but it's a little short on pizazz.
