From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the lovely woman at the front desk after a very long trip. I needed help figuring out one of the electrical outlets in my room, and the gentleman at the front desk kindly came up and showed me how it worked.
The location is especially convenient if you want easy access to transportation that can take you almost anywhere. The train station is just across the street, a few hundred feet away, with a gently sloped sidewalk.
The rooms are simple, clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped, with great air conditioning, a built-in hairdryer, elevators, and a wonderful shower with both a rain feature and handheld shower head. There’s also a comfortable, air-conditioned lobby with plenty of places to sit and relax.
I loved the breakfast and had it every day. There was a wonderful variety of breads, cheeses, meats, fruit, juices, coffee, and even eggs you can boil yourself. The hotel provides breakfast but does not serve food otherwise. Beverages are available, and occasionally there are complimentary little snacks and things to nibble on in the afternoon and early evening, so come prepared if you’ll want something to eat later.
It’s just minutes by train to Monte Carlo and Menton, and Villefranche-sur-Mer in the other direction. There’s also a wonderful café Le Catalan, open 12-1030 pm, diagonally across the street with the BEST 16€ wood fired pizza and dishes I still dream of. 💕
I loved my stay and will 100% be back!
