Hotel de la Fontaine - Nice, France 

"relaxing"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
Me and my friend we had a very pleasant 3 days stay in this hotel. A real French - Mediterranean experience. With the beach at hand and in a 5 minute's walk from the swerving "zone pietonne" (far enough to have a sound sleep), the hotel is ideally located. The room was clean and cosy. The staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and we plan a 2 weeks stay for the next year.

If you want a reasonably priced, well located hotel in Nice, La Fontaine is a good choice. One block from the sea, five minutes walk from the Pedestrian area and ten minutes walk from the Old Town. The staff were welcoming and efficient, always ready to provide advice, serve coffee/drinks, etc. While not large, the rooms are adequate and have everything one needs. The only slight downside was the noise from revellers in the street on the Saturday night. Light sleepers might want to think about booking a room facing the courtyard. Bottom line, this was the first time we stayed at La Fontaine and we would do so again if visiting Nice.

Hotel de la Fontaine exceeded our expectations! It is a charming little hotel with a back open-air patio with fountain that was great for an afternoon drink. Breakfast is offered but we left too early to partake of it. The one recommendation I would have for the hotel is to have shower curtains installed in the tub area. There is a hand-held shower but the water pressure is high and water went all over. Other than that, bathrooms were clean and adequate. The desk clerk, Marco, spoke English and was most helpful in getting us oriented. He arranged for two separate vans to the airport at different times early in the morning (which were on time!), and helped us learn our way around the city. He was a definite bonus. Best of all, our rooms (4) were ready when we arrived from our cruise at 9:30 am, and gave us the day to explore NIce and surrounding areas. There is also a luggage storage room if needed. Highly recommended.

The hotel is in a good location one street behind Promenade des Anglais and you will pay less than half the price of a room on the promenade. The room we had was on the third floor with small view of courtyard, there is a small lift, staff were helpful. Didn't eat breakfast at hotel but found lovely place for breakfast, turn left out of hotel opp side of road just before Med hotel, Bar des Chauffeurs. Would recommend this hotel for short stay where you just want clean room and bed for night in good location.
