What guests think

Hôtel Helvétique is praised for its very central location near Old Nice, shops, beach and tram, and many guests highlight friendly, helpful staff and straightforward stays suited to sightseeing rather than spending long hours in the hotel.

Rooms are generally small and dated, with occasional noise from thin walls or outside equipment, though some find them comfortable enough for short stays. Cleanliness is often good but inconsistent, and facilities feel basic: breakfast quality and value vary, parking is limited or off site with cash deposits or hurdles, and the elevator is small. Overall, Hôtel Helvétique suits travelers who value location over modern finishes and full amenities.

Nice hotel situated in close to the old city, shopping and the beach. We paid for parking at the hotel, parked safely under Nice Etoile max 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Only bad thing about the parking was that you have to pay a deposit in cash, which the hotel didn’t tell us before even though we wrote a lot of details regarding parking before arrival. Nice clean room, our family of 4 fitted well. New bathroom, small toilet. Refrigerator in the room. No view from the room, but we weren’t expecting that, the hotel and room lived up to our expectations, kind staff as well. We will use the hotel again next time we visit Nice

Hotel buono e in ottima posizione, però, per il check in, occorre avvertire la clientela che, per arrivare all'hotel, davanti ci sono le transenne che vanno spostate anche solo per potersi fermare per scaricare i bagagli Abbiamo girato più di un'ora e, al telefono, ci dicevano di passare in hotel per ritirare il ticket per il parcheggio prenotato. Ma, ogni volta che arrivavamo davanti all'hotel, che sta su una strada senza possibilità di sostare un attimo, dovevamo ritornare sulla strada Per cortesia avvertite i clienti in anticipo!!!!!

Chambre bien équipée bien que la TV soit (dans ma chambre) petite et mal placée. Mais la literie était de bonne qualité et le confort global très convenable. Par contre, ils annoncent avoir des places de parking sur places qui ne sont JAMAIS libres. Vous devez donc vous garez dans un parking public qui n’est pas très loin mais toujours trop loin avec les bagages…

Struttura in pieno centro, molto comoda alla piazza centrale e al mare. Colazione extra troppo costosa, personale cortese ma poco attento alle esigenze del cliente compresa la difficoltà linguistica. Pulizia adeguata ma poco attenta ai dettagli (pezzi di vetro ritrovati all’inizio del soggiorno e subito segnalati, mai rimossi nei giorni successivi). Garage non sempre disponibile ma parcheggi in convenzione nelle vicinanze.

Hotel Helvetique room is unclean with untidy towels that have an unpleasant odor(vomit smell). It also has limited space for movement due to being quite small. Additionally, the hotel is poorly maintained, and the building itself is old and not well taken care of. To add further, the bathroom is not adequately stocked and has unsanitary towels. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

After checking-in I noticed that there were humidity stains on the wall. I reported it immediately and asked to move to another room but it was not possible neither the same day nor the following. Next day when I came back to the room, the stains were painted without my authorization especially with regard to the use of paint, without alternative for accommodation to another room. I further noticed that there was also humidity in the bathroom. When I addressed to the responsible of the hotel requesting an analogic compensation/reduction on account of the inconvenience and the discrepancies compared to the room I had booked and pre-paid, she was unhelpful and unwilling to do anything, including apologising for the inconvenience. Air condition was also old. Overpriced for the provided services and with discrepancies compared to what was displayed in the pictures.

The hotel was a bit run down and not in the best condition. The walls between the rooms were too thin and you can hear a lot of noise from outside. The room was ok but very outdated and not very comfortable. Good enough for our stay but won’t be staying there again. The location was great though and close to everything in the city and transportation.

The hotel was a bit run down and not in the best condition. The walls between the rooms were too thin and you can hear a lot of noise from outside. The room was ok but very outdated and not very comfortable. Good enough for our stay but won’t be staying there again. The location was great though and close to everything in the city and transportation.

Excellent location. Within walking distance of tram to/from airport and close to old town. Elevator was tiny and could only take 2 people with luggage. Breakfast was on the pricy side, but was okay. Staff were wonderful and answered all questions.

Helt OK hotell. Städat och fräscht. Ganska centralt. Riktigt bra frukost att köpa till för en billig peng.

La ubicación fenomenal. El personal muy amable. La habitación muy completa y limpia. Lo único malo que la máquina expendedora de bebidas se paga en efectivo y como no tenía tuve que salir a media noche a buscar un sitio abierto.

Fantastisk beliggenhed, tæt på det hele. Fine værelser og hjælpsomt personale. Dejligt med mulighed for at leje strandhåndklæder. Lidt kedelig morgenmad til prisen.

Hotellet ligger veldig sentralt til, har et hyggelig og profesjonelt personale. Døgnåpen resepsjon og gratis utlån av badehåndklær mot et depositum. Enkel og god frokost. Skal vi til Nice igjen vil dette hotellet være et førstevalg.

Godt standardhotel til prisen. Værelserne er ikke så store men fine, hvis man ikke skal opholde sig lang tid på hotellet. Personalet er søde og hotellets placering er rigtig god. Morgenmaden er bedre på en af de nærliggende caféer.

En arrivant j'ai été très bien accueillie par l'équipe de l'hôtel. La chambre est classique et confortable, pour le déjeuner je recommande les confitures, je me suis régalée avec celle au citron.

I was happy with the location. A balance between the shopping area, old town, and beach. Lots of restaurants around. Elevators are only for 3 people at a time, if you are on 4th floor either get ready for lots of exercise ( fine for me ) but note you will need to consider this. Comfortable, good AC and plenty of space.
