Le Bois des Lutins

It’s a clean hotel and staff are polite. The rooms are comfortable enough. This however didn’t feel stylish or remotely luxurious so I’m wondering why it’s classed as 4 star?

Clean room. Great bathroom. Location is great. It’s a classic hotel.

The rooms are perfectly set up, especially for a slightly longer stay where the extra amenities and space make a real difference. I stayed in a Deluxe Room with balcony: it had everything I needed and was clean, comfortable and spacious. It was great to have the extra living space (kitchen, table and lounge area) and the kitchen was well fitted out. The bathroom was great with a walk in shower/rainfall shower head. Location-wise: you are on the same road as some great restaurant, boulangerie and patisserie options ; the key areas of Old Town, Castle Hill, harbour and east end of the Prom are just minutes away (which were the spots I visited most frequently) ; and most other key locations are accessible by a max. 15–30 minute walk. Bus and train stations for day trips are within 15 minutes walk and the closest tram is one minute up the road. The restaurant was a great spot for breakfast with plenty of good quality options. I have to specifically mention the staff who were, without exception, incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. In summary: the hotel, rooms, restaurant and staff were lovely and it made for the perfect base in Nice. I will definitely stay here again when I return to the area (and next time will try the cinema and spa!).
