A good location and friendly staff
Room is quite small, and it’s no space for parking, even just for unloading luggage.
We were happy enough with the hotel room but unfortunately the bathroom was not very clean at all. The shower head was visibly dirty and mouldy (?) and the shower itself was also not clean around the edges. We asked to be moved to another room and we were upgraded to a room in the ground floor. That was a little better but the shower drain was still not that clean which was disappointing. Would definitely recommend redoing the bathrooms!
Very conveniently located in Nice. Excellent facilities and staff.

Disappointed
A lovely hotel but a bit lacking
Shower was broken so wouldn’t hold up, toilet only half flushed and the door wouldn’t double lock from the inside. The staff told me it didn’t need to as it was a key card but I pointed out every other hotel I’ve stayed in has the ability to lock
Quite a lot of dust
Was upgraded to a larger room on ground floor. Hotel located near train station therefore convenient to travel to other places on the Cote d'Azur

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were really nice and changed our room when there was an issue with noise; we got a free upgrade. However the hotel is more 3 star; the facilities need to be updated, the usual toiletries are not given, the sheets, towels and bathroom had stains and were not clean. The space was quite small and breakfast whilst ok was limited and not what you’d expect for a continental breakfast. The walls are too thin; the ear plugs provided do not adequately filter out the noise. It is a good location and the staff are really friendly and nice but I wouldn’t stay at this hotel again.
The staff at the hotel were very polite and helpful. The distance to the train station was great and a lovely walk into the more touristy areas. The area felt safe and the rooms and hotel was very clean. Enjoyed free coffee and pastries through the day. Shower was not amazing, couldn’t get consistent temperature and was quite weak. The pillows weren’t great so struggled to sleep some nights. Overall we had a lovely experience and would definitely come back!
Hotel is in a great location. Unfortunately the service was blah. I had requested 2 twin beds, but arrived to a single. The front desk agent brought up sheets but I had to change them. For 312 Euros a night, I expect much more.
Property is well situated very close to Nice Ville train station which is very convenient.
The room was very comfortable and clean. The bed was cozy, the towels were soft and the shower was very nice (just wash your step if you use conditioner as it makes shower bed a tad slippery). They have water, treats and a drink available mid afternoon. You will not be disappointed staying here. It’s an easy walk to everything.
Staffs are extremely helpful and approachable. Location is convenient. It only takes me 15 minutes to the Place Massena (which is the main area for shopping and dining) on foot.
Disappointed that our superior room did not have proper balcony only juliet one (facing the courtyard). Bad smell from drainage in bathroom. Rooms are a bit tired (needs a paint). Breakfast was good, did not appreciate the coffee machine was fixed during people having breakfast when should be sorted after (as area is really small and the man was working next to food etc)
