Hôtel de la Fontaine

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.

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

Nice hotel I come back to this hotel every time I’m in Nice. It’s a lovely hotel with wonderful staff in a great location.

Cosy hotel you want to come back to I was on my own in Nice and am very glad that I stayed at Hotel de la Fontaine. First of all the staff is very friendly and helpful. Here I especially want to mention Kurt and Andrea. I got some good advice on places to visit. The hotel is perfectly located close to the beach walk Promenade des Anglais (to me the best place in Nice), less than 1 km to the railway station and a 7 minute walk to the tram stop taking you from and to the airport. The Old Town and Place Massena are also only a few minutes walk away. You feel very safe in this area.

The hotel is at a great location. It is not new so there are signs of aging but it is clean and the stuff are great.

I would go back. First off, our stay was great. We would definitely use this hotel again. The location of this hotel is perfect. Everything is in easy walking distance. The room was comfortable, good choice of pillows. Staff were very friendly and helpful. These are first world problems but.....aircon made the room so hot it was unbearable. Wardrobe door was skewiff and hard to move. No fridge, I don't think one was advertised to be fair. There was a safe though, which worked well. Breakfast was basic but adequate, small amount of cooked. Cereals, toast and pastries. Yogurts and dried fruit and nuts. Fruit juice, tea and coffee. There was definitely enough. I wouldn't have said my room was 3 star standard, but I certainly didn't care. It was clean and comfortable.
