We stayed here en route back to London on the train. The hotel is ideally located for the main railway station, and was quiet, clean, with a lovely spacious, high-ceilinged room. Would definitely stay here again. More

Very good experience at this nice, small hotel. We were looking for a quiet place close to the train station. We found it. Excelsior is at walking distance to the train station and has a great garden. Rooms on gardenside are peaceful and calm. I recommend that side. More

Although I've stayed only two nights, everything worked well for me. The room was nice, clean and the heating was good which was very important during these few cold days in Nice. More

We knew we were taking a risk with accommodation in Nice as we were on a budget. We selected the Excelsior Hotel because at the time the reviews were ok and the price was right. Upon arrival at the Nice Ville Station, we were welcomed by scummy streets which were soaked in urine, although this is not the hotels fault.... More

Our experience of the Excelsior Hotel, its staff and manger was a case study in poor service and terrible attitude--in the worst combination possible. I reserved a Prestige Room for one night (tonight) through an on-line trusted reservation site. When we arrived (after almost 21 hours of traveling from the US) we were told that there was not a room... More

Dear Madam, Unfortunately, on the day of your arrival we had not a room at your disposal, because of one technical problem which suddenly appeared just before your arrival. For that reason, we were not able to announce it to you or to inform you before the check-in at the hotel reception. Sometimes it comes to certain situations that are... More

The hotel is very well situated, pretty old style building with basic standard rooms. I enjoyed our stay. However we had some trouble with the cleaning staff, since they rush into the room without knocking, have a tendency to leave the balcany doors open even when hot, and they didn´t leave any new soaps and shampoos in a weeks stay....

This hotel was the perfect location to return our rental car and then leave the next day on a train. The room was decorated with strange colors and there was scaffolding on the outside of the building. The room was large enough and it was only a 20 minute walk to the downtown area and the sea. Staff were helpful... More

Although old in syle it is well kept and clean. It is not in the smartest location but is very close to the railway station where buses from the airport also stop. The hotel is just a few minutes walk away. It is also less than a 10 minutes walk into the centre of the town for the restaurants shops... More
