Hôtel de la Fontaine

The location and service of the hotel is nice, but the hotel is a bit old and the shower pleasure is too low, so it takes a long time to finish a shower.

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.

I highly recommend this hotel for its location, its friendly and helpful staff and for its tranquil atmosphere - perfectly located for the Nice-Cannes marathon (if like me that’s what you are in town for), it made the pre-race logistics simple! I had a nice room with fridge, plenty of storage plus a balcony-where you can chill out after the marathon to the sound of the fountain. It’s in a super spot for sea, sightseeing and sustenance. Try the Italian chocolate drink with a madeleine,’delicieuse’.

Location is excellent and lobby is clean and welcoming. Our room was extremely small and this made sleep uncomfortable as there was no air coming into the room, and no air conditioning. Tea and coffee facilities available but not replenished. Under bed was dirty and not cleaned. Disappointing stay.
