This hotel was excellent, the impressive frontage is grand and yet welcoming. It is just 5 minutes walk from the train station - regular services to Cote D'Azure towns - Monaco Monte Carlo 10 minutes away, Nice, Cannes and Antibes are also along the line. Menton beach, the old town and a host of restaurants are all within 5 minutes walk as well.
The staff are fabulous, multi-lingual and extremely helpful, they know you by name and could not be nicer. It is delightfully furnished with antiques in a traditional style but has been well refurbished and maintained with modern facilities like a lift and wifi.
We were offered complimentary continental breakfast on arrival even though we had a room only booking and it saved us a lot of money as a consequence over the 10 nights we stayed. The coffee and croissants were amazing, but there was always an assortment of fruits, pastries, cereal, fresh bread, etc regularly topped up throughout.
The room we stayed in was on the top floor with a lovely view out onto the old town and it was very spacious and well appointed with antique furniture, polished wooden floor, tons of storage and lovely marble bathroom. The bathroom was in excellent condition, we had a bath with hand held shower and it had a partitioned toilet and bidet. The air-con is simply the best - SILENT - and beautifully cold to ensure great sleep.
The hotel is ideal for those who love the beach, walking the old town alleys and travelling to other resorts with ease.
