This hotel was in a great location. Bed was comfortable. Staff was polite. It was tough dropping off our luggage as there is really no place to stop and parking is really far away. Other than the parking, our stay was wonderful here.

Amazing hotel

We stayed for just one night but I would definitely recommend staying there for longer time too. Room was clean, spacious, had everything you need. Location was amazing. Staff was friendly and you can easily leave your luggage in the luggage room before your check in and after check out.

Second time staying here. It’s super central and very convenient. I will stay here again if I’m back in Nice
Michelle, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location easy to navigate around the town. Walls quite thin so could hear the people in the room next to us very clearly and in the hallways. But apart from this excellent stay.
4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect location, in the Main Street, lots of stores and restaurants near by. The only compliant was that when we arrive the elevator wasn’t working.
Juan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was lovely! In a great location and the room was really nice (twin room). So close to restaurants and shops as well as the train station. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Hope, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is in a great location. Tram stop and underground stops nearby. 15 min walk to main train station. Lots of nice restaurants nearby and easy walk down to the sea front. The room was nice and clean. It was small but was fine just for us to sleep in and definitely worth the price. Desk staff were all bilingual (at least) and were helpful with every request. Minor fault: The doors and walls are quite thin so you can hear the cleaners and other guests occasionally. You can hear the trams also but these don’t run much at night. Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

Small boutique hotel in an excellent location, walking distance to everything, the sea, the old town, lots of dining options and shopping at doorstep. Grocery store and tram stop nearby. Comfortable beds.
Maurice, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cleaning services was great, staffs are friendly. The bedroom are small and noise level is high. The bed is not very comfortable. The shower barriers are not tightly sealed and water gets to the floor every time you shower. It gets messy
Soe, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel: the staff are helpful and the room, although not large, was very clean and comfortable. (A small suggestion: coffee making facilities in the bedrooms would be most welcome. There is a coffee machine in the vestibule, charging €2 a time. Perhaps a little bit cheeky!) The beauty of this hotel is that it is right in the centre, close to seafront and the main streets, with lots of lovely places to eat and good bars. Even so, it is not noisy. I would recommend this hotel for someone looking for a good reasonable place from which to explore Nice.
