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.

This hotel has kind personnel and it's very clean, while being 5 minutes away from the beach. It also has everything you need close by, even a great coffee place downstairs.

Returned to this hotel having stayed elsewhere last gear as we let booking till late. Hotel is ideally located in Nice. Breakfast is OK and there was an initial difficulty in providing decaffeinated coffee. Luckily I had a few sachets with me but was resolved a couple of days later. We stayed 6 nights in a Superior room which was adequate. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hoping to return in 2026.

Located 100m back from Promenade des Anglais and at the west end of where the restaurants start the location is superb. Rooms are basic but clean and functional, ours was fourth floor inward facing and very quiet. Staff are great and really helpful. Breakfast was light continental but enough to get you going for the day.
