Napoleon - Menton, France 

Thank you Trip Advisers had a great stay at The Napoleon. My experience of Hotels in Fance is that the Reception area is the best the Hotel has to offer and generally things go down hill from there. This is not the case at the Napoleon every detail has been attended to although contemporary in style it has a warmth which is unusual for this style. The staff and service is 5 star. The Hotel is sited on a small plot so the pool (not heated) and surround is small and probably not suitable for children however the Hotel has a beach area with a lovely Restaurant. It is about a 10 minute walk into the centre of Menton or the Bus is 1 euro. The Hotel has parking but there is also a lot of parking available near by. If you travel there by Train get of at Menton Garavan which is just behind the Hotel. The rear rooms at the hotel have mountain views but no Balconies and the rooms overlook a college which is having building work done starting at 8am to 8pm mid week -this may bother guests who need a siesta - we were not troubled by it as we were out and about all day and the double glazing helped. The front rooms have a balcony. The Hotel is set some distance back from the sea seperated by a dual carriage-way and car park despite this the view from the balcony (even the first floor) is lovely. I will return.

Just returned from a 3 day stay at the 3 star Hotel Napoleon in Menton. This is a boutique style,elegant, bright, relaxed hotel. Suits young as well as the stylish older traveller.Rooms are furnished in high quality, fresh, modern style.Bathrooms are well designed and again modern and fresh. Breakfast is simple high quality French produce and the coffee is excellent (rare in France and particularly in hotels): This is one example of the attention to detail which characterises this hotel. Staff in all roles were approachable but impeccably professional. The wine list is better than many five star hotels. We loved our brief stay . Came away very refreshed and will certainly go again.
