Reviews of Hôtel Gabriel 3 stars

Location

Paid for a city or sea view but had only the view of a wall which was disappointing.

Great customer service - nothing was a problem. Super clean and tastefully decorated. Good breakfast. Soundproof rooms, cute balconies. Safe. Menton spring water. Good location. Netflix. Great shower. Air con.

Beautifully decorated in the colours of Menton- soft lemon and pink tones. Very comfortable rooms with everything you need to feel at home. Wonderful staff on the reception; Julia was particularly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome in Menton and giving us advice on where to eat out.

Really friendly staff, they were very helpful and had lots of great local recommendations. They provide refillable water bottles for your stay with lovely fresh filtered water which was a nice surprise Amazing location close to the seafront and beautifully designed rooms. Beds were super comfy.

We had a truly wonderful 10 days stay at Hotel Gabriel in Menton and we can’t recommend it enough. The hotel strikes the perfect balance between elegance and modern design—every detail is tastefully curated, offering a chic and relaxing atmosphere throughout the property. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the pedestrian center and everything you might want to explore in Menton. Despite being so central, the area is quiet and ideal for a peaceful getaway. The rooms are immaculate, stylish, and extremely comfortable. The beds are a dream, and the amenities provided go above and beyond: Smart TV, Nespresso machine, kettle, mini fridge, high-quality bath products, and even complimentary water, beach towels, and beach umbrellas—a lovely and thoughtful touch. A special mention must go to Giulia and Jora at the reception, who were simply outstanding. Warm, professional, and incredibly helpful—they made excellent restaurant recommendations and ensured we felt truly cared for during our stay. The breakfast was another highlight: generous, fresh, and varied with both sweet and savory options, including homemade cakes that changed daily and several types of bread. The breakfast staff were just as courteous and professional as the rest of the team. There’s also a paid parking option very close by, which was convenient and stress-free. All in all, Hotel Gabriel exceeded our expectations. The flawless cleanliness, the exceptional service, and the genuine warmth of the staff made it an unforgettable experience. Thank you for such a perfect stay—we’ll be back

The hotel is very well situated in relation to Menton's main shopping and restaurant area. It is also a short stroll to the many beaches in town as well as not far from the train station. Our room was cosy and very clean and the air-con was effective and quiet. We also appreciated having a central fan. All the hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and informative, and the breakfast was excellent with the option to sit outside on the terrace. We arrived earlier than our check-in time and were able to leave our luggage securely and return later to find our room. We also liked that chilled still and sparkling water was available at reception.

Nothing, all was fine - we were only here for a short stay and the hotel more than met our needs for the duration.

I came to Menton as a female solo traveller, so my accommodation feeling safe and being centrally located was at the top of my list when finding somewhere to stay. I felt very welcomed by the friendly staff, everyone was always happy to say hello and provide a very comfortable stay. Small things like receiving a glass bottle to use for water refills (anytime at the reception desk with cold, filtered water) made the stay extra special! The location was great, it was easy to walk to the train if travelling outside of Menton along the riviera. The room was comfortable with a stunning view. I highly recommended Gabriel Hotel!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience staying at Hôtel Gabriel for 7 nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was our first time to Menton and we could not have picked a better place to stay. It is centrally located, only a 5-minute walk to the main tourist area and the main beaches and a 10-12 minute walk to the Menton train station. There are many good restaurants and bars nearby. We booked a Jasmine room. It had plenty of room, a comfortable bed, and a balcony with a nice view of the city. The air conditioning and ceiling fan helped keep the room a comfortable temperature for the entire stay. The televisions are equipped with Netflix, which we appreciated whenever we decided to take a break in our room from the heat outside. The design of the room (and the entire hotel) is beautiful and clearly newly renovated. We had no issues with noise from inside or outside the hotel. We had breakfast at the hotel a few times throughout our stay. There was a wide variety of options and everything was delicious. At first, we thought it was a little expensive at 17€ a person, but after we tried doing breakfast elsewhere, we realized the value for money and convenience factor are worth it and we would recommend purchasing breakfast with your reservation. We also got drinks from the bar at the front reception once and they were served with a bowl of potato chips as an aperitif. We were also able to store our luggage at the hotel after our checkout since we had a late flight. The staff of this hotel were what really made our stay fantastic. From the first moment we walked in, we were welcomed with friendly enthusiasm and genuine care for making our stay as nice as possible. Every single person we interacted with was lovely. We were always greeted when we came back to the hotel and we were asked more than once if there was anything else we needed to make our stay even better. The best of hospitality!

Gorgeous boutique hotel with the friendliest staff. The rooms were small but decorated beautifully and had a lovely view. We will most definitely return on our next visit to Menton.

Wonderful and peaceful hotel. Very helpful and generous staff. The hotel is close to Fossan beach, about 5-6 min walk, and about 6-7 min from there to Plage des Sablettes, both very nice in my opninion. In my room I had a balcony facing the courtyard, and I discovered with pleasure on my first morning that I had the morning sun there - great for enjoying the first coffee of your day. Nice room with the possibility of making a cup of tea or coffee, and bottled water was offered at the reception to take to your room.

Hotel Gabriel was beautiful and in a great location. But for us the highlight were the staff. They were so friendly and helpful. We loved chatting with them and hearing their recommendations! We would definitely visit again! Thanks so much - from Petit Chou!

We loved the location and the genuinely kind staff. Also, the room was clean.

Very good hotel in the center of the town, close to the beach as well as to the restaurants. Newly renovated so everything is clean and nice. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. Public parking garage is just 50 meters from the hotel. Good breakfast. I can definitely recommend.

The whole hotel was absolutely beautiful, so cute and the interior was so well thought through. It felt very welcoming. Very nice terrace were you can enjoy your breakfast or maybe a drink. You can borrow beach towel and umbrella and you get free unlimited still and sparkling water which you borrow a reusable bottle for. Great location, just a short walk to the old town and close to beaches and everything you need. Everyone in the staff was so lovely and helpful. Would 10/10 recommend!

Single room was quite small which was fine, only thing is I would’ve liked some more places to hang or put my clothes. Otherwise everything was perfect.

the staff is exceptionally friendly. the interior of the hotel is very welcoming and warm. can recommend
