Hôtel was once very grand.
The hotel is a bit tired. In need of a freshen up. The breakfast is very good. The bed was very comfortable and the terrace overlooking the sea was fantastic.
Unfortunately our room smelt of sewers on arrival. Once we used the bathroom the smell went but it was very unpleasant. I suspect the drainage hasn’t got a non return valve fitted. There were some large pieces of white broken crockery on our terrace on arrival. I cleared it up myself as I couldn’t be bothered calling reception. However, For €250 a night it’s not very good.
Menton is a beautiful destination. Too busy in August. Lots of restaurants and shops. May/June and September are more favourable for a visit. Highly recommended to visit. Don’t visit Ventigmilia. It’s full of immigrants and police as it’s a border town and feels very unsafe. I was pick-pocketed on the train in Nice but I stopped the girl getting away with my wallet. Another guy had his money stolen. Be careful!
