We unfortunately forgot a pair of new La Cost shorts in our room. In spite of several telephone conversations, discussions on how to pay/send this small item, and assurances that the parcel had been sent - we still have not received anything! It is a shame that the hotel is not able to give such an elementary service to it's guests!

If you make sure to put everything in your suitcase when leaving - I can recommend the hotel!

I have stayed in quite a few hotels in Nice and, in spite of the bad reviews, keep returning to the St Georges when they have space. I like the location as it is quiet and not too far from either bus or train station or from the old town. On this visit the room was clean, a decent size and fairly modern. Shower room was immaculate with good water pressure and plenty of hot water, things that are not always found in old French hotels. The place is certainly not luxury but I don't expect that for 70 euro. The newish manager is pleasant, polite and speaks reasonable English.

My attitude to hotels is to pay a lot and expect luxury or pay very little and hope for decent quality and clean, which is what I have got on each of my dozen or so stays at the St Georges.

My mother and I stayed at this hotel in 2008 during our first trip to Nice. While nothing spectacular, the room was large and the staff friendly. However, during our most recent trip, we found it to be somewhat less "quirky and charming" than we originally remembered. Although we did request two doubles (booked about 8 months in advance), we were given a room with a single, full-size bed and told we could trade rooms the next day. The first room was incredibly dark and dank, did not have a functioning TV (it turned on, but all the channels were "frozen") and when I touched the bedside lamp, was given an immediate and very painful shock. I also called and requested (both in English AND French) an extra pillow for my mom, which never arrived ...

The next day, we were called by the front desk to ask if we'd like to change rooms - which we did. The new room, while larger and with the two beds, as originally requested, was FULL of flies. The window had been left open, presumably by housekeeping, and probably 30 flies were buzzing about. We spent the next hour or so swatting them all with handtowels and 'herding' them out of the window. While we made sure we took care of every last pesky critter, it still made sleeping a bit difficult.

I do hope they'll do a renovation, because this hotel has the potential to be very great, it just appears that there's been some slack in the upkeep since our last stay. The location was convenient, but next time around, I think we'll look for something different.

I regret to say that I will not recommend this hotel, even though it has a good central location.My partner and I woke up on Monday morning to discover some had let them selves into our room which only could be opened by key while we were sleeping and took €870.The hotel also charged our stay twice with on a credit card that should of only be used to confirm our reservation.This was done with out our authorisation following the theft of our money.
