Room had a weird smell which was easily resolved by airing it out. Room was large and well appointed. Hotel was in great location close to train and amenities.
This is one of the closest hotel next to the train station. Good for if you have trips around south of France and Nice is your base. The toilet is very new. My assigned room has a red interior, I’m neutral to this style. Overall the hotel is clean and quite new. Air con is very good!!
I absolutely loved the customer service at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean, and the hotel was beautiful and centrally located. I will definitely come back!
Travelled with my two older sons. We absolutely loved this hotel!!! It was very chic, decorated beautifully. The hotel thought of everything even loaner beach umbrellas. The walk to the beach is doable. Our room was a junior suite which was huge with two little balconies and two very comfortable beds. The bathroom was very modern and the AC worked very well. The staff was A+ very friendly and welcoming.
We all loved this hotel. Would stay here again.
Lovely spacious room with a small balcony, overlooking the garden. Perfect for an afternoon drink in the sun after a busy day! Great location, only a few minutes walk from the main train station.
Fabulous location. Lovely friendly , helpful staff. We arrived early and were able to leave our bags and enjoy the facilities whilst awaiting check in . Lovely cool free flavoured water in reception bd coffee free of charge . Decent breakfast.
Only negative was that room 102 was right above several air con units so noisy when French door open . Fridge in room . Walking distance two mins to train station and shops and bars 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Very good central location. Very near train station with easy and cheap journeys along the coast.
Good amenities in room : fridge, kettle, mugs, safe, hairdryer. Excellent shower.
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.
Clean, friendly, nice garden with lounge pool. Excellent for walking around.

Great location for ladies that like to shop and sightsee.Good access on transportation to Cannes & Monte Carlo.Breakfast provided was very good. Room clean and comfortable.Would recommend to others.
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.
Great location very close to the station. Breakfast could have been better and there was a lack of space for breakfast. Room was clean enough as a base to explore the city
Had a very enjoyable 4-night stay. I found the staff very friendly and welcoming, the room was comfortable, the breakfast was really great and I found the location really good - short walk to old town and promenade that allowed you explore other parts of nice on the way.
