Lovely hotel well located, our room had a wonderful view across the bay. Breakfast was exceptional and the staff friendly. The only negative thing was that there are not enough coat hangers but that seems to be an issue at every hotel we have stayed at. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, most are just alright but there are some real gems around.

“Ideal base right on the famous Promenade Des Anglais”

This was our sixth visit to this hotel and we’ve always chosen it for its excellent location and services. We always have a sea facing privilege room as we want to wake up in the morning and see the sea and palm trees. The room has a French balcony and is light and airy. Despite overlooking a busy main road the sound insulation is very good and to be honest the traffic noise adds to the ambient and hectic vibe of being right on the famous promenade. I am a light sleeper and was not bothered by this at all. The hotel itself is not a looker like some on the promenade. The reception area whilst smart is basic for a four star. However the fact it is so close to the sea makes this acceptable. If you want something Negressco like then opt for one of the bigger , grander hotels. There is no dining room either- except for breakfast so eating out is required. There are so many restaurants within a couple of minutes so it really isn’t an issue. The rooms (and I can only speak for privilege ones) are of a good standard. They are a good size with a big bed and plenty of storage. The room is very clean and serviced daily. There is a coffee machine and fridge stocked with soft drinks. We always buy a few beers to chill and have before heading out of an evening. Our room had a good shower and separate loo. The wash basin area was in the bedroom so no separate bathroom which was odd but worked. Good blackout curtain. The only let down was that although the room was clean and comfortable the storage unit for clothes was really beaten up and tatty. Some of the decor was really shoddy yet other bits were really good. It was however a great room complete with bathrobe and slippers and lovely honey toiletries. We stayed a week and were very comfortable. Also lots of pillow choice which was very impressive. Breakfast was good. It was on the first floor and was a buffet. Served from 6.30 to 10.30 daily. There was all the continental stuff and lots of choice of cereals, juices and fruit. Lots of cheese and bread and pastries. You could fry your own egg too. The let down was the cooked breakfast which was limited to just three things a day. Always scrambled egg and then either farfale and chicken (!), sausages and potato cakes or bacon and beans- basically three cooked options. For us British who appreciate a full English it was very limited. However the staff were lovely and the breakfast choice was good and never ran out. Also you could have a variety of coffee from a machine so no waiting to be served coffee. All in all I would recommend this hotel. It’s not grand, a bit shabby in places but location is great and the rooms are great for a stay in Nice.

“Superb Location, Clean and Comfortable Hotel.”

The previous reviews berated the hotel for looking tired but this is, now, not so . The whole building has been updated and , whilst you can always find something to criticise if you look hard enough, the overall impression is one of a clean well run hotel. I found it pleasant to stay, very, very clean , and comfortable enough for my needs. The location is superb with good views from my room. The breakfasts. Whilst offering good room service, could have been a little more varied. I do understand that it needs to be more limited than a buffet style but even a choice of yoghurt would have been good. Most of the staff were charming, always acknowledging your arrival and departure but there is always one who has had a bad day! All in all it’s good value for money and that’s all I require.
