Pros:

Geri pusryčiai, viešbutis suteikia rankšluosčius paplūdimiui, nemokamas vanduo, visiems svečiams kasdien priklauso po 1 skardinę šalto gėrimo pasirinktinai (limonadai arba alus).

Cons:

Periodiškai po kambario tvarkymo personalas palikdavo mažiau rankšluosčių nei priklauso pagal svečių skaičių (reikėdavo eiti prašyti), labai mažos pusryčių patalpos.

Great little hotel, very helpful staff and easy to stay when travelling through
Pros:

Lots to like .. staff really helpful , they did an early check in for me with no charge, room was comfy and quiet and stylish.. very handy for the station Nice ville. The filtered water machine with carafes to use in your room meant ice cold water when it was 35 degrees outside . They also had free to use beach mats and umbrellas for guests

Cons:

It is a 15 min walk to the beach / 25 to the old town which was fine for me but others may find that a bit of a trek in the heat of the summer

Very boutique hotel in a great location and with excellent customer service

Location was excellent. Perfect for a city break where you are spending a lot of time touring. The free refreshments in the lobby were a nice touch. Staff were very helpful and welcoming, especially Vera who went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

Bathrooms were very small and the lift

Good budget friendly hotel close to train station
Pros:

Adequate rooms with a boutique feel. The room itself was actually more spacious than we expected. The bathroom was quite small, but it was clean and fit for purpose. I had seen reviews about the shower, but it was actually quite spacious and the water pressure was generally okay.

Our room had a Juliet balcony, which gave us somewhere to hang beach towels to dry. There is a TV in the room and plug sockets next to the bed. The hotel Wi-Fi works well.

As the hotel is close to the station, it can be a little noisy, so I’d recommend bringing earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. That said, we couldn’t really hear any noise from within the hotel itself.

Fresh towels were provided and the beds were made every day. The room also had tea and coffee making facilities, a mini fridge, comfortable beds and effective air conditioning. There was a full length mirror inside the wardrobe.

The location is good - around a five minute walk from Nice Ville station, with bus and tram stops nearby, making it the perfect base if you’re planning to explore the surrounding area. It’s about a 20–30 minute walk to the Promenade des Anglais and the beach. The airport is less than a 20 minute taxi ride away (costing under €20). It would also be easy to reach the airport by train. There are plenty of bars and restaurants just beyond the station, around a 10 minute walk away, as well as lots of local cafés and shops nearby.

One of the nicest touches was that guests could borrow beach towels, umbrellas and ping pong bats free of charge. We were also given a complimentary welcome drink from the fridge in the lobby, along with a small welcome gift that included a fan.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. There was always someone available during the day, and at night you could access the hotel using your room key.

There is a small lift for taking luggage upstairs. On our last day, we were able to leave our cases at the hotel and use the lobby toilet to get changed before heading to the airport. We were also pleasantly surprised to be able to check in much earlier than expected on arrival. I am not sure whether this is because we had added a note to the booking saying what time we would land or just coincidence!

There is a free water dispenser and coffee machine in the lobby, which we found really useful.

We didn’t book breakfast, but we were told it could be added on any morning for a reasonable price. However, we didn’t get a chance to try it.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a comfortable, budget friendly base in Nice with transport links.

We booked directly through the hotel’s website and it worked out much cheaper than booking through Booking.com.
