Hotel Napoléon

Bon hôtel bien placé et très confortable

Lovely clean hotel. Rooms are cleaned daily. Very little english spoken in the hotel but they are as helpful as possible and very polite. Breakfast is quite disappointing as incredibly carb heavy no cereals. Dogs are also allowed in the breakfast room which I personally don't find acceptable. Area is fabulous seafront is well kept with lovely restaurants. Trains are easy to use and you are a 10 minute walk from the station. We went into Italy one day which took 15 mins. Good location and if you don't mind dogs hotel will work for you.

This place is so great-the staff are really incredible, so friendly and helpful. The location is unbeatable-walk to the train station, beaches, old town, or even Italy in minutes. Great breakfast in the morning and the rooms are big and full of light. Just a really lovely, modern hotel. Perfect stay

This is a lovely small hotel, with modern rooms, good aircon, great service. Lovely breakfast (€16 pp per day) great choice. Staff lovely. Food can be ordered via bar staff for lunch/snacks. Cost is similar to cafes for lunch. Mini fridge is stocked with water and a few soft drinks. A lot of people have mentioned there is a supermarket across the road for drinks/snacks/lunch and toiletries etc. This has been very helpful to us, as South of France is £££ and we couldn’t afford to pay for lunch and dinner at a restaurant every day (3 adults, one teen). This hotel is an excellent stay for sightseeing. Train station is 15 min walk. We have been to Monte Carlo, Cannes, Ventimiglia and Eze by train. Next 2 stops will be Nice and Antibes. Trains v busy but after a while you can get a seat. Aircon on trains. You need your passport on trains as police will ask (border town). 20 min walk along La Sablettes beach into town centre. You can also walk up steps into the old town which is so pretty and the church is up there. Many restaurants are available along La Sablettes and town. Beach restaurants are £££ so we only ordered one course each and some sides. They are great for a quick meal after a sightseeing day , as your feet will be tired! Can recommend Caesar on beach front. Trattoria in the business district is great food and more high end, about a 30 min walk. The restaurants on Victoria Square (main tourist area) in Menton are very busy and in one restaurant it took two hours to get food (1 hour to order it!). Saturday night is very busy, lots of places pre-booked. Main problem is (small) pool area. We only wanted to use it on rest days. Around 12/13 sun beds and hotel is now at capacity, it is absolutely packed. People putting towels on the floor and sitting on bar chairs. People reserving sun beds from very early am. Pool area over-capacity. Clearly some groups do not ever leave the hotel, but it really doesn’t have capacity for a ‘fly and flop’ type holiday. So pool a bit defunct for us, which is a shame on rest days. Also the hotel is next to a busy road and you can smell the car fumes by the pool. I had to take my asthma inhaler on the one day we achieved sun beds by the pool. You can pay €35 pp per day to join a private beach club on the beach. This is exclusive of food! We are here to sightsee so didn’t bother with this. This is a beautiful, clean, well-serviced hotel with lovely staff and great service. But if pool time on your rest days it’s important to you, you may find it difficult to achieve this.

Just returned from a lovely stay at this hotel. At the Italian end of the newly extended promenade , go left for a 20 walk and you can cross the border to Italy. The old town is a 15min stroll to the right. . You can catch the no 1 bus across the road to get to the bus station where you can get busses to see all around the area. Menton Garavan train station is a short walk to take you along the coast through to Monaco and Nice . We had a balcony overlooking the sea , which was lovely. The pool area is great for a rest day. The staff are all excellent, hotel is exceptionally clean and very comfortable. I thoroughly recommend the Napoleon for a stay in beautiful Menton.

We chose a sea view room with a balcony which was definitely worth the extra cost. The views were amazing and, yes, the road is busy but the soundproofing for sleeping is very good. Air conditioning was excellent and amenities were all clean and modern. Coffee and tea, kettle etc all provided. Swimming pool was a real bonus and was kept warm in the September heat. The hotel is well located. Short walk to Menton - shopping, restaurants, beaches etc. Menton Garavan station close by for trips along the coast. Lovely staff, kind and helpful. A comfortable hotel we would happily return to.

Lovely mentón this hotel was nice with L’Occitane amenities. Room was great and staff kind . Location is a bit far from main Mentón yet closer to the Basilica of st Michael which the classic Men ton background . Also enjoyed the beach oh this side despite being chilly it was gorgeous and I was a blessed to swim . I truly fell in love with Mentón and would return

It was perfectly nearby the downtown of Menton and far away enough from the bustling streets. It was across the street from the private beaches and along the boardwalk. The room was clean and very trendy. The bed was stiff but spacious. The black out curtains are motorized and on switches. The AC works very well. Two nights it was very chilly bc we set the temperature too low.

This hotel gets a lot of repeat visitors, due to attentive staff, onsite parking and well maintained rooms. Our Junior Suite Mountain View room was on the top floor. Nearly floor to ceiling windows, looking out on gorgeous villas behind the hotel. Flower covered hillsides lead up to wonderful mountain peaks. The view was enchanting. Lots of storage space in room. The "sofa" was very uncomfortable for sitting, but it's really a popup bunk bed. Pool is not heated, still enjoyed a cold swim in April. It's a bit of a walk into the Old Town. Might be too far for kids. Take the quick breakfast in the beautiful bar, lower price and just right to start the day. Aperitifs are a good price in the evenings. In the New Port Garavan (literally across the street, towards the sea, under the promenade) are several places worth visiting. The U Express Supermarket has an amazing selection of food for a smaller market. Clearly caters to an upscale crowd. Au Pied du Port is a marvelous restaurant where the chef grills on wood. Try the homemade pate and lamb. Restaurant Le Galion, an elegant place, joyful staff with a fascinating crowd of regulars. I overheard a guest say, when checking out, to the Front Desk "Another amazing stay, as it always is. Thank you, We will be back in August."
