Clean room, the breakfast was absolutely amazing too!
Breakfast was good, there was no laundry in the hotel but around the corner. The staff was good and had great recommendations for places to eat. The room was clean, spacious.
Helpful staff. We were also given free breakfast. Close to train station. Easy walking to every where. Hotel room is small but comfortable. We also took the train to visit Monaco.
Great service levels and lovely breakfast. Hotel not best positioned as bit far from old town and beach but near station which was good

This is not a 4 star hotel, not in terms of condition, facilities nor service. But as a 3 star, charming and friendly staff.
Good bed. Ice cold floors. Breakfast good selection, but ran out repeatedly.
Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Great location with lots to do nearby. If you are using the trains, the station is quite close, with 24 hour reception.

The hotel and staff were wonderful. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel. They offered little touches which went a long way such as complementary drinks.
Nicely decorated and very clean and proper hotel in Nice. Very convenient too as it is very close to the station (Nice Ville) and a maximum 15 minutes pleasant walk down to the beach and promenade des Anglais.
