South of France Kid friendly Vacations

The Mercure hotel is immediately on the seafront and close to both Central Nice and the amazing Old Town. An easy 20 minute drive from the airport. Double check that your transfer driver takes you to the right one, ours didn't! The hotel is clean and well maintained, rooms are well appointed with en suite and walk in shower. WARNING - We booked a room with a balcony there are balconies but not wide enough to sit out on safely and no patio furniture. Breakfast is very good with some typical European Breakfast dishes such as roast potatoes, cauliflower and broccoli? But great selection of cereals, cold meats and cheese, and cook your own eggs facility. The one down side is no sitting out areas, no facilities, no bar facilities, but you walk out straight to bars and restaurants. The location is its big selling point - would definitely consider a return visit

Loved this property, perfect size for our needs. The location was perfect.

Our room was booked as a “sea view,” but we were on the 2nd floor and could only view the ocean if we went out on the balcony and stretched to look. Unfortunately, the balcony had old used cigarette butts and was too small to sit or enjoy the view. We also visited in late August. Apparently there was a huge outdoor event happening during the same weekend of our visit. The music and public speeches were VERY loud and right outside our window. Thankfully the city requires quiet after 11:30PM, but it would have been nice to go to bed earlier than midnight. No one warned us that our stay would be disrupted by this loud event. I was disappointed with our stay and would not book with Albert 1er again as a result of this negative experience.

A great hotel for staying in the old city !!

Hotel is decent but room too small. I don’t like the light system. It gives cheap

Gorgeous Boutique GEM EXTREMELY friendly staff , beautiful and impeccable rooms and outdoor area

Great location and good staff 👌

The hotel is in a great location in centre of town and just short walk to the beach. However, considering we paid over $900 CDN per night (August, so likely an increase due to high season) this hotel is not worth the value for money. The room was tight and oddly designed. When you walk into the room you are essentially in the shower and sink area of the bathroom.There isn’t a door between this area and the bedroom. There was no storage area in the bathroom, just an Ikea type shelf that looked well used. The mini fridge was not plugged in so everything was warm and when we plugged it in, hours later we found that it didn't work anyways. The area where they served breakfast smelled so bad that we had to eat outside. This hotel looks very pretty on the outside and is in a great spot, but definitely not worth the price.
