Hôtel was in a great location. Easy to travel via metro which stops one block away. Close to everything in nice. AC did not work in room, they were going to send a tech to check it out not sure if they did or not but the unit did not improve if so. Also on the last two days the elevator did not work, which was one of the reasons we selected this hotel.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel: the staff are helpful and the room, although not large, was very clean and comfortable. (A small suggestion: coffee making facilities in the bedrooms would be most welcome. There is a coffee machine in the vestibule, charging €2 a time. Perhaps a little bit cheeky!) The beauty of this hotel is that it is right in the centre, close to seafront and the main streets, with lots of lovely places to eat and good bars. Even so, it is not noisy. I would recommend this hotel for someone looking for a good reasonable place from which to explore Nice.

Great location, 13 min walk to the nice vile station, walking distance to other attractions and the beaches. Perfect place for shopaholics. There is no sound proofing you can literally hear other people flash their toilet or take shower. No kettle, cups or glasses and iron in the room, it’s funny there is ironing board but no iron, room was small for the price but location was perfect. People at reception were lacking friendliness and felt like as they are forced to be there. Except for the lady on the checkout day.

Bed was too small, we made the reservation with children bu they didnt give us extra bed and asked for extra money even prices dropped during our stay. They were not helpful at all. The shower had no curtains and when you take shower all the bathroom floor was wet. There was not even a coffee or water in the room. Price was too much for this hotel

Hade överlag en trevlig vistelse. Välstädat hotell med nära till allt. Lite högljutt om kvällarna stundtals, men inte alltför illa. AC funkade rätt så bra och fanns en liten kyl på rummet. Allt i badrum satt löst, typ toappershållare etc vilket sänkte helhetsintrycket något. Jag bad om en till extrakudde, fick dock aldrig någon.

Very very nice hotel in close proximity to the square and coast. The breakfast in the morning was tasty and ample. My only gripe was that there was hair in my “unused” bed linens and in the bathroom. I know the hair did not belong to me, as 1. this was my first night, 2. I am Black, and 3. my hair is fashioned in braids. Not sure what was going on with the cleaning crew but it is not a reflection of the hotel overall. I would definitely stay there again!

This place has a great location in the center of the city, everything is within walking distance. We rented a car and the Grimaldi parking lot was 5 blocks away, one of the pluses was the elevator. One of the bad things is the SEVERE problem they have with the sewer system, the only way you can sleep here is if you open the window to the outside, I imagine if you get a bedroom with no windows to open it is going to be impossible to sleep there because the sewage odor was really STRONG and HORRIBLE.

The room was nice and clean. It was small but was fine just for us to sleep in and definitely worth the price. Desk staff were all bilingual (at least) and were helpful with every request. Minor fault: The doors and walls are quite thin so you can hear the cleaners and other guests occasionally. You can hear the trams also but these don’t run much at night. Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

This is not 4 star hotel. 3 stars at best. Issues: Light floods into the room because they unwisely have glass panels in the bathroom door…and the bathroom has huge uncovered windows. So the result is the main room is flooded with bright light early in the morning. Horrible. The AC does nothing. It is central AC and my room was 26C all the time. I asked the front desk staff for help to make sure I was working the AC controls in the room okay (I maxed out the AC), and they said since it was after hours no one could help me with this…not even the front desk people. Unacceptable.

Chambre en bon état, cependant une forte odeur d’égout venant de la salle de bain rendait l’air de la chambre irrespirable. Je me suis plaint à la réception, mais aucune solution n’a été proposée ni même un signe de compréhension. La chambre était très petite, en particulier la salle de bain où l’on arrivait même pas à se sécher correctement en sortant de la douche. De plus, l’insonorisation de la chambre est à revoir, la toux et le réveil des voisins s’entendait depuis la chambre. Dernier point moins important, j’ai demandé un kit de brosse à dent en dernière minute et l’hôtel n’en avait pas. Aussi, un savon tout-en-un servait de gel douche et shampooing dans la douche. Pour moi, l’hôtel ne mérite pas quatre étoiles et surtout le prix de la nuit passée.

Nice small hotel, clean and a great location. They are overdoing the ECO friendliness. Hotel has AC but they would not turn it below 26C/ 79F in the room. Having a heat wave in southern France and sweating all day, there was no exemption. Hard to fall asleep at night. We changed hotels after 3 nights.

They only changed the day after and made people sleep in an unacceptable condition. They pretended to be nice but were completely uncooperative and found all kind of reasons for their actions. Unfortunately not up to the standards to be expected for a 4 star hotel.

Breakfast good with yoghurt, musli, bread, croissants etc. We were three adults and had a room with three beds (one single bed and one double bed with separate beds). The room was a bit small but still good. We would definitley go back! Not so many eletrical contacts in the room.
