Great stay in Nice
This hotel is in a great location, with 5 min walk to the beach, local supermarket, restaurants and shops nearby. The airconditioning is excellent, which is hit and miss in France, and the breakfast is both great value and excellent €14. The gym is functional and effective, while the breakfast room is lovely.

Two wonderful days in Nice.
A very nice hotel with pleasant and helpful staff. The hotel is very convenient from travel to and from the airport and it is only a short walk to the beaches and to the very nice old town. The hotel, for us, was perfectly located and very comfortable.

Ok budget hotel, you get what you pay for.
Fine budget Hotel. Very worn and in need of investment. The staff were OK / indifferent at check in. The bed was OK and clean, bathroom old but clean. The room wax quiet, despite what others say. My room faced onto the garden terrace but the traffic is light in this area. Room was small , but fine for one night, before return flight the next morning. Short walk to the tram. BTW. I recommend the Windsor Garden restaurant just 65m away. Good value for good french cuisine

I enjoyed my brief stay here. The hotel is clean and well cared for. There are multiple areas to sit and relax in the lobby area which I liked. The staff is very helpful and pleasant. Although I’m in Nice to learn French it was good to be able to converse in English when needed. I’ll definitely stay again.

The hotel is dated but its location is great as you can walk to the Promenade & Old Town Nice in a few mins.
The lobby area is being renovated, but the rooms & building in general needs an uplift.
We found most of the staff very helpful & friendly.
