What guests think

Best Western Alba sits on Nice’s main shopping street with tram and train links close by, making it easy to walk to sights and the beach, though drop-offs can be tricky on the pedestrian stretch and some street noise occurs.

Staff are frequently praised as friendly and helpful, but a few guests reported slow or unfriendly interactions at check-in or when resolving issues. Rooms are often modern, comfortable, and quiet thanks to soundproofing, yet some are small or dated, with occasional A/C or Wi-Fi hiccups and recurring complaints about bad odors in certain rooms or areas. Breakfast is generally well liked, though a few found it basic, and common spaces like the reception and lift feel small. Expect a central, comfortable base rather than a full-service 4-star stay.

The hotel is well situated in the center of Nice on a pedestrian section of the Avenue Jean Medicine therefor we were dropped ,by our taxi driver, away from the hotel and we had to carry our luggage and suitcases a significant distance. the room had no refrigerator. In the bathroom there were neither bars of soap nor shampoo.

Hotel is nice and clean. Staff is friendly. Close to city centre, close to beach, maybe 15 minute walk. Very convenient. One down side is that the room key didn't work all the time, we had to keep telling the staff to fix it for us almost every day. That was pretty frustrating. Yet they can fix it within 30 seconds, so not too too bad. All in all, we all love the stay and would book the same hotel again if we go back to Nice!

We arrived from New York, after 9 hours flight and bad sleep. Two people sitting in reception small area, one busy with some bills and calculation on computer, other guy on the phone. Waited standing for a good two minutes may be three. Neither one acknowledged us or at least say something like: I will be with you shortly. Until I realized I am too polite and they are too ignorant. Then asked; can one of you give us our room. The one on the phone pointed he is busy on phone. Waited, after another minute or two, eventually bill calculating guy looked at us and asked for passports to give us room. As a 71 year old engineer, I though I am qualified to teach those ignorant people and said ; If i am on the phone at work and someone arrives and need me, I make the phone conversation short to address the client. You should do the same, it is common sense. May be hotel management should give them training. But, what if the bill calculating guy was the manager! This is a two star hotel by North American standard yet rated 4 star! Hotel pictures are deceptive. Reception area vey smal had a few stools, no sofa. Bathroom and shower was renovated and was good. Hotel location was close to Nice main rail station and was good. Bad customer service was my main concern.

The hotel was a short walk to the train, and close to the beach. It was very clean and seemed like a newer property. It had multiple outlets for us to connect and charge electronics. Loved that it was loft style so the main bed was upstairs and then it had 2 single pull out couches in the lower level. The shower and toilet were separate which was great and it had a hallway door in case you didn’t want to wake those sleeping on the lower level while you showered. They also gave us water bottles every day and the first day they provided sodas and beer too. The only thing I was surprised about was that they didn’t have beach towels but aside from this everything was great.

Bra läge på största avenyn nära tågstationen. Mycket smutsigt rum inklusive toalett. Vid påpekande gav personen i receptionen oss städutrustning och tyckte att vi skulle städa själva (vilket vi givetvis vägrade). Vi fick även endast en handduk till fyra personer, vilket dock rättades till av en trevlig nattportier. Luftkonditioneringen slutade fungera en dag men lagades efter ett antal timmar. Undvik rum mot innergården då utsikten är hemsk och solen ligger rakt på vilket gör att man varken kan eller vill använda den lilla balkongen. Generellt låg standard på hotellet som helhet och rummet specifikt gör klassificeringen missvisande. Det motsvarar inte 4 stjärnor, snarare 2 stjärnor.

We loved this stay for so many reasons. So close to the train station, shops and just a short walk to great restaurants in Old Nice. Proximity to the beach and promenade was also a bonus. Our hotel room felt like you had entered a sound proof room. With padded walls and extremely comfortable beds, even facing the main street was quite quiet at night for sleeping. Plentiful hot water and a rain shower with great pressure was the icing on the cake. The room and bathroom/shower look like they have had a recent upgrade and it looks fantastic. The mini fridge, kettle and complementary coffee/tea in the room was also a nice touch. Breakfast was well worth the 13 euros. Hotel front desk staff were super helpful for all sorts or questions and recommendations. I would definitely stay here again!

Unfortunately the Aircon didn't seem to work particularly well and the noise from the rear of the hotel was a bit annoying.

This hotel is an excellent kicking off place to many of the locations up and down the Côte d’Azur. We were offered an upgrade in our room yet we were pleased with the quiet nature of the rear facing option vs the busy street view. Our choice. The cleaning staff, we had every second day and they reset the room properly and very much to our satisfaction. We were greeted on our entrance and exit from the hotel every day, this was exceptional for a longer stay. The hotel is close to any forms of transportation, yet walkable within the district or into the main attractions of Nice. We would certainly recommend and return to this location. The rooms were quiet and we heard no one else during our stay.
