“The worst stay of my entire life”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2011
4
people found this review helpful

To whom it may concern,

I was on a European tour with Trafalgar and stayed at the Hotel Apogia Nice and was very disappointed.The service at this hotel was very poor and I had an unpleasant experience with one of the hotel clerks Denise, I had received a dirty room when I checked into the hotel. The bathroom shower curtain was soiled with brown stains, the bed sheets had a large yellow stain that looked like urine on it and the rug was also soiled. The room had a dissatisfying odor, it was so unbearable. I went downstairs to the hotel desk and spoke to Denise and requested a change of room. She asked me what was wrong with the room and what I meant by dirty. I explained to her what the room looked like and she yelled at me, she said that the room was clean and there was nothing wrong with it.

She then threw me a new room key and told me to look at it, when I returned from the new room I told her that it was also unpleasant and she began to shout at me in front of other hotel guests. I felt so embarrassed and asked to speak to my tour guide, Denise then told me I could see another room and she came with me. When we walked in the room it was a mess, there was literally trash all over the floor and wet towels on the bed. I walked out and told her I wanted a clean room, she stepped very close to my first and told me that I was being unreasonable and that Americans are spoiled and I should take my business elsewhere. Hotel guests came out of their rooms to see what the yelling in the hallway was about. I was scared and did not know if Denise was going to become physical, I walked away from her and went to my room.

I was so upset that I called my tour guide and told him I wanted to leave. I was crying uncontrollably and was humiliated, it was the worst experience of my entire life. But, after speaking to my tour guide he managed to get a room for me on the same floor that he was on in case Denise came looking for me.


I ask that someone please speak to Denise and teach her some customer service skills and etiquette. No one should ever have to feel that way that I did that day. I am very disturbed by this and will definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone.

“Not worth staying here”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2011

I stayed at this hotel while attending a conference in Nice. This hotel is very near to the conference center so that was convenient. The rooms were quite average although they were not very clean. The duvets do not have covers (and do not look as if they are washed often, for sure not for each different guest).

The worst experience though was with the maids. While I was showering, the maid came into my room. After I asked her to come back, she returned in five minutes (while I was still in the shower). She left again and came back AGAIN while I was getting dressed. This all happened between 9 and 9:20 am. There is no way to deadbolt the doors so I really didn't know how to prevent this from happening. The maid did not speak any English and I speak very little French. When I talked to the front desk about it, they didn't really seem to see it as an issue. My colleagues also had this same problem, one of them was actually in bed and she came in twice while he was trying to sleep! This problem is quite ridiculous sounding but honestly was a bit weird for us being as we stayed here 4 days.

The breakfast is GREAT though! Lots of variety of hot and cold foods.

“Not recommended”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2011

Went under a tour to Italy last Oct (only today manage to write a review) anyways,
the room -is small, hardly can move at all. Plus when put your bug luggage even cramped and no space at all. Maybe its bcoz I got the standard room. The bed is a so so.What I hate the most is the small bathroom and separate shower from toilet as toilet in small 'cubicle' room,cannot access to the sink to wash etc.
Breakfast- I like the breakfast though, decent food and decent variety can't complaint much as Im a Muslim and cannot eat any meat, just the bread croissant etc. Fresh juices (orange & apple), there's ham sausages, scramble egg, yogurt..
Staff- not friendly just manage a smile.
I would prefer to go elsewhere even though for only 1-2 nite stay

“Pretty good hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2010

My visit to Nice was really a rest stop for Monaco. The hotel was nice, clean, and with comfortable beds. The breakfast was pretty adequate . Overall the hotel was not bad

“A Roof Over Your Head, But Not Much More”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2010

This hotel was chosen for its price and its proximity to the Conference Center in Nice.

The room itself has a double and a single bed. It was on first inspection clean and inviting, but that didn't last long. When we pulled the duvet back, there was a blood stain on the underside. One of the pillowcases had cigarette burns in it (on the underside, of course). There was an exercise bike in our room, but the seat was broken which rendered it unusable. There was no exercise bike in our friend's room.

The bathroom was awful. The shower was ancient, and the tub wouldn't drain. There was a fuzzy mould in spots on the ceiling. A bar of hotel soap was provided, but no shampoo or conditioner.

There were two elevators, but one was broken down. This made for long waits.

No internet.
