We loved our stay here and would definitely stay here again when in Nice. Location was great within a 5 minute walk to the centre of town. The staff were super friendly and on hand if needed (A big thank you to Alex and Moreen). The room was great (we booked the delixe with balcony overlooking the pool and courtyard area). The rooms were clean and very comfortable and adequate for a city break stay.
Great location very close to the station. Breakfast could have been better and there was a lack of space for breakfast. Room was clean enough as a base to explore the city

Great location for ladies that like to shop and sightsee.Good access on transportation to Cannes & Monte Carlo.Breakfast provided was very good. Room clean and comfortable.Would recommend to others.
Great location close to the train station and still walkable to other areas like the old town. Beds were very comfortable and loved that my room had a little balcony. Staff were very friendly and breakfast was good.
Staff were excellent as well as the breakfast! Gutted we didn’t get a chance to use the pool area especially as the new garden furniture had just arrived! Good excuse to visit again!
Great Hotel! We stayed there for one night after our train ride from Paris to Nice Ville. Super walkable from the Nice Ville train station and a very lovely staff. Definitely would recommend, our bathroom was a little small but totally doable for one night.
Staff were friendly. Room was clean. And breakfast was delicious. It’s a quiet, quant area. About a 8 minute walk to the tram and the train was 3 minute walk. Tram could take you to Old Nice in minutes. We would definitely stay here again!
