Located in the center of Nice, with a 10 minutes walk to the beach and old town through the Place Massena. Close to tram and buses including airport bus. Big room, bigger than I would expect in the middle of a city and nice bathroom. Stayed there with a friend for almost 2 weeks and it was very comfortable sizewise.However... More

If I only new what a horrible experience I will have with them, I would never ever made a reservation with this hotel. My advice to everyone - don't chose this hotel if you can. Horrible unfriendly service.

My 85 year old Mum and I stayed 3 nights here and found it great. So convenient - about 100m to tram, 200m to shops, cafes over the road, walking distance to Vielle Ville (Old Town), Cours Saleya (flower market) and Promenade des Anglais (beach front). The hotel has a tiny lift, just big enough for one person and suitcase... More

Before we left for our trip, I read the reviews of the hotel which seemed to be either really positive or negative so I wasn't sure what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised. Our room was on the third floor (There is a tiny elevator so you don't have to lug suitcases.) in the back of the hotel, which... More

The first room was depressing and smelt heavily like cigarettes. We changed the room, however, it was also depressing with old sheets and towels. The light of the hotel sign kept us awake and early in the morning - as expected - the breakfast activities stopped our sleep. The breakfast was prepared without love. We were depressed. However, the staff... More

We had a room on the first floor, next to the breakfast room, so we were woken up at 5:50 in the morning. We were really thinking about changing the hotel because it's not a vacation when you have to wake up so early. But the staff was really nice with us and found another room on the 3 floor.... More

First, the only reason I give the room a 3 is because it was small for 2 adults but very doable. The size wasn't a big deal as most European rooms are smaller than US standards. Our friend had the room next door and it was much larger so it might be the luck if the draw in terms of... More

The hotel is about a 15min walk from Nice Ville train station and is located in a great area of Nice - close to the city centre and to the beach. However, you get what you pay for at a budget hotel. I found the staff not very friendly and the hotel run-down. Cons -Wi-fi is included but barely worked.... More
