Le Coq Florentina - AC - Wi-Fi - Seafront

😊: Amazing view over the bay at Menton. This is a v cute apartment with everything you need. Super cute.. 😢: Had to pay an extra £30 to check in at 3pm (5pm is the check in time). I requested the 4pm check in which was a bit cheaper but this wasn't available which seemed a bit odd considering it was a key box and self check in..

😊: The big balcony with a wonderful view of the ocean. 😢: 5pm Check in time was very inflexible. When asked for earlier we would have to pay extra per hour Would suggest cleaning products especially for kitchen worktop.

😊: The apartment itself was good, comfortable and generally as expected. The facilities were fine and we had no major issue with the accommodation itself. Unfortunately, our experience with the management and the very inflexible approach to guests significantly affected our stay.. 😢: Unfortunately, this was the least welcoming and most inflexible accommodation of our French Riviera trip. Check-in is strictly 5pm. Despite arriving much earlier in extreme heat with luggage, we weren’t even allowed to leave our bags at the property. Early check-in cost extra: €26.25 at 4pm, €31.50 at 3pm or €42 at 2pm. We declined and spent the day at a beach club with our luggage. Access instructions were not released until exactly 5pm — even at 4:58pm the system said it was too early. My phone battery was nearly dead, making this very stressful. Guests should know that a working smartphone, internet connection and sufficient battery are essential to access the property. A €200 refundable security deposit was required, with a €30 non-refundable waiver offered instead. We then received messages stating that air-conditioning consumption was monitored and that “abusive” use could result in deductions from the deposit. Combined with numerous rules and notices around the apartment, this felt unwelcoming and patronising. Checkout also involved several chores: taking rubbish to outside bins, gathering sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers and towels, and supposedly emptying the dishwasher — despite there being no dishwasher. We stayed in several properties during this trip and other hosts were much warmer and more flexible, even allowing us to leave luggage while apartments were being cleaned. The apartment itself was good, but unfortunately the management style made our stay unnecessarily stressful. It felt focused on rules, extra charges and protecting the property rather than hospitality. We would not stay here again..

😢: The apartment was clean and the location was good., but far 25 min from the centrr. The check-in process was unnecessarily complicated. We received the access instructions, registration details, and entry code only 10 minutes before check-in, which was quite stressful. We were also never informed in advance about the €200 security deposit. In addition, the apartment did not have a dishwasher or a washing machine, although we expected these amenities. Overall, there were too many rules and procedures, which made the stay less comfortable than expected..

😊: The view on the seafront is amazing. 😢: On the edge of Menton, walk into town. Balcony needs cleaning, no hot water, hairdryer didn’t work. All plugs and wifi not connected, had to fathom how everything worked as no handbooks..
