La possibilite de parking est trompeuse: il faut utiliser un parking public de l'autre cote du tramway ou trouver une place (payante) dans la rue. L'arrivee en voiture n'est pas pratique: il faut se garer en double file et bloquer la rue pour pouvoir acceder a l'hotel. Le personnel a l'acceuil etait froid/indifferent

It is a budget hotel, so don't expect too much. Rooms are small. Elevators are so tiny that a family of 3 with luggage didn't fit and had to take turns going up. Washrooms in room were very nice. Rooms were very clean and beds were pretty comfortable.

Excellent hotel in Nice for a great price. Located near the boardwalk and right next to a tram station. It’s a bit far from the touristy areas, but we actually enjoyed the 40 min walk along the water front to get there. Only downside is the elevator broke one day and we had to take the stairs, but it was fixed by the time we came back from dinner

The hotel did not have parking, even though it was listed in the advertisement. In addition, the room was very small, and the bathroom was almost unusable due to how cramped it was. There was also no minibar in the room.

My husband and I booked this hotel for 4 nights for our honeymoon. There is a train stop right in front of the hotel which is very convenient. There is a store next door for cheap drinks and snacks which we visited often. It is farther away from the main beach area, which we were aware of. There are lots of electric scooter and bikes you can use just across the street. We found the bed very firm. There was no hairdryer, iron, fridge or safe. Only 2 bath towels were provided. We were surprised there was no hand or face towels. The elevator took forever to come even though there was 2. You are better off just taking the stairs because it can take 2-4 minutes to come. Overall it was good for the price.

The property is nice and the staff are very friendly and helpful. However, the rooms leave a lot to be desired. They are deceptivley small, with the three person room not having enough room to turn without hitting the other person. The walls had greasy hand prints and scratches, some of the lights did not have switches as well. The bathroom was also very tiny and the shower was broken and leaking water everywhere. If you do end up booking here, be prepared that the rooms are extremely tiny. However, the location is pretty good, its one block from the ocean, but the surrounding area is a little sketchy.

Hotel: Ein Ibis eben, schon etwas genutzt aber soweit ordentlich und sauber. Das Gebäude semi schön. Lage in der 2. Reihe zur Strandpromenade. Mega. Flure etc. alles schon stärker abgenutzt. Personal freundlich. Zimmer: Wir hatten eines nach hinten. Vorteil: Keine Straßenbahn zu hören. Flugzeuge hört man dennoch. Hinten läuft aber die ganze Nacht eine deutlich hörbare Kiima. Das Zimmer eher klein, aber ok. Einrichtung zweckmäßig mit Regal, Kleiderstange und TV. Fenster klein und geht nicht richtig auf. Bett klein 1,60, für zwei machbar aber nur eine Bettdecke. Zimmer ok, Reinigung gut. Auch etwas gebraucht. Bad: ebenfalls zweckmäßig, aber eben auch gebraucht. Zwar gereinigt, aber die Dusche schon etwas kalkig etc. Für den Preis würde ich es nicht erneut buchen. Grundsätzlich dennoch erträglich.

The staff at this hotel were very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is clean. The room was ok, unfortunately the bed was a little hard and had only one pillow per person which for us was not very comfortable. Only two towels are supplied, no hand towels at all which is very inconvenient. The hotel is very close to the beach which was great. No long walk after a day in the hot sun. Transportation was right across the street and we were within 20 minutes of anywhere we had planned to go. We did have A/C in the room but sometimes it was very weak, however we had very hot temps while we were there so probably just too hard on the system. Overall not a bad stay.

We did a reserve because the website is saying that it has air conditioning. Last year it was true. This year not. After talk to the receptionist she said that they don’t turn it on during February. But was sunny, the room was really warm and the window doesn’t opens.

System were down so we had to do stuff manually. Because system was down Hôtel withheld driving licence so I could pay city tax when system was back up I offered to pay cash still couldn’t process it. WiFi was down for almost first two days. I wasn’t offered complimentary breakfast for inconvenience. Room is very minimal and small would expect more amenities as standard. Locations are excellent tram stop in front of hotel. 4 tram stops either direction you reach all areas of nice. Comfortable sleep. Staff were helpful only held back by corporate inflexibility. I would not recommend more than 2 nights here. Better hotels 10 mins away

Perfekt für einen Kurzurlaub 3. Nächte (Mädelstrip) ohne größere Ansprüche. Lage vom Hotel ist perfekt für sämtliche Ausgangspunkte. Tram-Station direkt vorm Hotel. Linie 2 fährt vom Flughafen direkt hin und man ist auch Ruckzuck in der Innenstadt/Altstadt/Hafen. (Tipp: Ticket NICHT direkt am Flughafen Ausgang kaufen, kostet Pauschal 10,00€. Man kann kostenlos 1. Station weiter fahren dann aussteigen und das Ticket kaufen. Da gibt es dann die Einzelfahrten für 1,70€ oder die 1,2 oder 7-Pässe die wir genutzt haben. 7-Tages Pass 20,00€) Einmal über die Straße vorm Hotel und man ist am Meer, besser geht nicht. Kleiner Supermarkt direkt neben dem Hotel. Wir hatten ein 4-Bett-Zimmer, was von der Größe her absolut ausreichend war und sogar mit Meerblick. Klimaanlage funktionierte einwandfrei. Zimmer waren sauber und Handtücher wurden gewechselt. Schrank befindet sich aber keiner im Zimmer, dafür ein paar Kleiderbügel. Wir haben uns für 8,90 € das Frühstück dazugebucht. Perfekt für den Start in den Tag, kleines Frühstücksbuffet aber mit allem was man braucht und vor allem alles sauber und ordentlich. Personal sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich! Preis- Leistung unschlagbar und würde ich auf alle Fälle weiterempfehlen.

Wir waren für 4 Tage im IBIS Hotel. Die Zimmer waren großzügig und hell. Uns persönlich fehlte mit 4 Personen im Familienzimmer eine Ablagemöglichkeit im Bad. Das Frühstück war leider etwas eintönig. Wenn man eher der "herzhafte" Esser ist kommt man hier nicht auf seine Kosten. Es gab jeden Morgen Putenbrust und 1 Sorte Käse. Für meinen Geschmack hätte eine Sorte Salami oder Schinken hier schon für Abwechslung gesorgt. Für den Süßen -Esser stehen viele Varianten zur Verfügung. Die Dame beim Frühstück war hilfsbereit und hat immer für saubere und abgeräumte Tische gesorgt. 1 Herr an der Rezeption spricht sehr gut Deutsch. Alle weiteren konnten Englisch. Die Lage des Hotels ist phantastisch. Direkt vor der Tür fährt die Tram ab. Mit dieser kommt man durch komplett Nizza. Das Hotel liegt in der 2. Reihe an der Promenade. Unser Zimmer hatte den versprochenen Meerblick und war sehr ruhig - Trotz der Hauptstraße und der eben angesprochenen Tram. Alles in Allem war es ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt! Vielen Dank, liebes IBIS Team!
