Hotel de la Fontaine

cutre little hotel nice and clean good service small room great blocichen

A small, pleasant hotel a few meters from the sea promenade. There are restaurants in the vicinity and 2 supermarkets opposite the hotel. Distance from the railway station 15 minutes on foot, from the tram from the airport 8 minutes on foot. The hotel rooms are smaller, which is standard in France. The staff at the reception and in the restaurant were very pleasant and helpful, on the last day we got breakfast at 6:00 a.m., despite the fact that it was officially only from 7:30 a.m. The hotel provides luggage storage for early arrival or late departure. We got a free upgrade to a superior room facing the courtyard. The room is new, clean, comfortable. The bathroom is also small but clean and well equipped. Cleaning and towel change was done every day and the cleaning was detailed. The breakfast was excellent (yogurts, cereals, ham, cheese, sausages, scrambled eggs, croissants, cakes, fruit, fruit puree, jams,...), the weak link was the coffee. The drip coffee in a thermos was weak, the coffee from the machine (cappuccino, latte, cocoa) was made of powder. At the bar, they have an espresso machine, with such a small number of guests, the bartender would surely manage to make everyone a normal high-quality espresso, and the guests would appreciate it.

We were only in Nice for 2 nights and needed somewhere nr transport so we could visit other areas along the coast. This hotel is just 2 mins walk from Promenade des Anglais - great for our early morning walks along the seafront and perfect for a stroll after dinner. The reception staff were helpful and friendly and our room was very comfortable and quiet. There was a kettle in the room for hot drinks and a small fire for milk etc. Carrefour is just round the corner. They do serve breakfast but we didn’t try it as we wanted to catch the train to do some sightseeing. I travelled with my teenage son and the hotel is a great base to see the sights! Planning to return in the summer for another short break. Thank you Hotel de La Fontaine 😎
