10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay here and would definitely stay here again when in Nice. Location was great within a 5 minute walk to the centre of town. The staff were super friendly and on hand if needed (A big thank you to Alex and Moreen). The room was great (we booked the delixe with balcony overlooking the pool and courtyard area). The rooms were clean and very comfortable and adequate for a city break stay.

Great location close to the train station and still walkable to other areas like the old town. Beds were very comfortable and loved that my room had a little balcony. Staff were very friendly and breakfast was good.

Great Hotel! We stayed there for one night after our train ride from Paris to Nice Ville. Super walkable from the Nice Ville train station and a very lovely staff. Definitely would recommend, our bathroom was a little small but totally doable for one night.

Tim and Nhora great memories

Just a few minute walk from the bullet train station nice Ville. Fast check in even at 2030 hours. Room was good size, plenty of room. One negative, the room does not have storage for your personal items. A desk is provided but we used it for our snacks, a small frig is available. It’s only a short 10 minute walk to the beach area, you will pass plenty of restaurants along the way. Breakfast was good selection of meats, cheese, fruits, cereal. I would stay again. A thank you to the manager for all his time and information.

Staff was fantastic to deal with. Unfortunately the garden area in the back was under some renovations so we couldn’t partake in that space but the hotel itself was gorgeous.

Highly Recommend.

Great hotel. Everyone was nice-Concierge, Dining Room & cleaning. 2 minute walk to train station to visit the entire Riviera. Shops and restaurants & attractions all within walking distance in Nice. Smaller, clean and eco-friendly hotel. Breakfast was the same every day but varied options. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!

Great hotel to stay with children. Is nice and quiet. The best thing was Emma. She is a great receptionist and concierge all rolled in one.
Ping, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful building, my room was nicely decorated too, with a small balcony to enjoy the sun. In the front of the hotel is a small garden, where you can enjoy a free coffee or tea.But most importantly the amazing staff! So friendly, helpful, and they obviously love their job! The hotel is also well located, close to the train station, and a 10 minute walk to the beach. I will come back!

Tony, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible front desk staff, raised issues multiple times regarding not having AC during a heatwave and was told by 3 different people that an “electrician” was coming to help. Initially offered another room however they said hotel was booked when asked - was forced to stay an additional night given the late hour of notification until we checked into another hotel.

I had a good experience but my bedroom door was not secure at night which did not allow me to sleep well. The receptionist was helpful but ultimately it was a problem to be solved by an engineer.

Your hotel had a unique vibe and we loved all the extras that were provided. The area and being to walk to the Promenade and feel safe was a plus. Also the train station was walking distance which was a Big Plus!! Enjoyed our stay and loved the Decor!
