Like all things in Nice extracting money from tourists is the prime function and this hotel is no exception.
The staff are good and the reception area is ok, after that the hotel is very tired and in need of a revamp. The room I stayed in was small with a dirty carpet sporting stains of dubious origin. The bathroom was tiny and needed the holes in the walls filling where once there were fittings such as soap and tissue dispensers. The plus side of the room - good aircon, (needed as the street noise precluded the opening of windows), good wifi (free) lots of towels complete with punishment tarrif if you take one to the beach and proper soap and shampoo, presumably after the demise of the dreaded dispensers.
Unless breakfast is included don't bother, more than one glass of excellent orange juice and you will be charged (so the notice says).
The location is great many good restaurants which should be cheap but this is Nice and they aren't. Five minutes walk to the Prom. Nice has style this hotel hasn,t but like New York who stays in the hotel other than to sleep
