My wife and I chose this hotel on the strength of Trip Advisor comments; we went to Menton for our 20th wedding anniversary and stayed four nights. The staff were unfailingly helpful, polite and, joy, able to speak good English! The hotel is very clean and our "side sea view" room gave us a good view of the sea and mountains. The room was well appointed and comfortable with a huge range of TV channels available. Breakfast was good value, served in the very pleasant lobby/terrace area of the hotel.
The railway station was less than a ten minute walk away and the town centre is nearby. There's a good bakers just over the road!
I'm a fussy user of hotels but I couldn't find fault in any way with the Princess and Richmond and recommend it without hesitation; the staff and the venue make this a number one choice.

We were thrilled with the warm welcome at the Hotel Princess & Richmond in Menton, France. Jean-Marc, at the reception desk, was friendly and kind and helpful. He got our whole stay in France off to a good start.
The rooms and bathrooms en-suite were spotlessly clean and well decorated, and the view from our balconies was fabulous. The little rooftop garden with a cool spa was a great place to lounge and look over the Mediterranean.
The hotel is furnished in good taste, is well-located to explore the French Riviera, the Maritime Alps, and Italy. From our balcony, we could see the lights of the French Riviera to the right, and the lights of Italy to the left.

We were thrilled with the reasonable price, also. I would recommend this hotel very highly, and will definitely stay there again.

Chosen this hotel according to the reviews on this site...and it is indeed very nice. Very clean and modern rooms. We had a mountain view room, which obviously doesnt have the nice view as the sea view rooms but we weren't in the room a lot anyway.
The room is soundproof from the busy road behind it. The location of the hotel is good and within 10min walking you are in the center...nice walk along the sea.

We took the option of the carpark from the hotel. It's 7,5 Euro's a day and you are safely parked underground. Along the street there are free spots anyway but think in july and august that would be different.

We did not take the breakfast in the hotel and that worked out perfect. There are loads of lovely little bakeries in town where you can pick all kind of sandwiches and crossaints. You'll spend only 10 euro for two and is very nice.

We also took our lunch at "the boss" just down the road from the hotel..again thanks to this site..indeed very nice food and reasonable price...can recommend the "big boss" omelet!

The sun terrace on the roof is nice. Guess there are around 10 chairs. The only downside is that the jacuzzi is underneath a roof...and that's straight away the only negative thing i can find about this hotel...

Best regards

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel booking directly with the hotel via email. Danielle and Phillipe Caravelli and all the staff make it a lovely friendly place to stay. On arriving this year we found a lovely card and gift in our room welcoming us back - a very nice touch we thought. There is an excellent choice of continental breakfast which sets you up for lovely long strolls along the Promenade du Soleil. The walk along to the Italien border is fantastic and it's great to see the locals swimming in the sea in March!!! The rooftop garden is very relaxing and we have been lucky to catch the sun last April and this March. We had a beautiful sea facing room and we are hoping to return later this year. Definately worth a visit.
