“Good location, but...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel is indeed in a convenient location. Part of the old town, near trams, antique district and Garibaldi Square stores. Picked it because of the location and pleased with that part. Tiny, pretty room. Had breakfast the first day -- out of four. You sat at a long rectangular table with other guests. No one talked much. Turned out that cold cuts and cheese were outside the front door so not obviously available. Staff was friendly, made phone calls and answered questions, but didn't offer any drinks to me. Even though there was a bottle of water in the room it was accompanied by a note stating the price.

Mainly, the controller or the unit for heat never worked properly. Since it was winter, I was just cold most of the time in my room. They sometimes got it to work but the next time I turned it on--no heat. No heat in the bathroom unless the door was open. There was heat in reception and adjoining breakfast area. Just a mystery.

Room Tip: If you are there in the winter, check the heating unit to be sure it is working.

Dear Guest,
Many thanks of all the precise information. Indeed we had last week’s very cold weather, which is quite unusual in Nice. Nevertheless in every room is an individual heating and we do have as well additional heating on request. We serve breakfast on a big table “ table d’hôte” as well as in the rooms and most time of the year on our terrace, outside of the hotel. Sorry, if we did forget to propose a free welcome drink it would have been a pleasure for us.

“Enjoyed our stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

We stayed at this hotel in January 2012 based on recommendations on Trip Advisor and were very pleased. Staff members were extremely congenial, location was ideal, price was reasonable and room was more than adequate. Since there is no elevator, persons who can't climb stairs may not want to stay here, but that should be the only deterrent. We were even contacted promptly by the manager as we left our credit card in the safe. She saved us a lot of grief. Will definitely stay here again if we return to Nice.

“An excellent little hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

This hotel is very welcoming.

We arrived at around 9pm to be greeted by a lovely receptionist. She showed us to our room and provided a free drink too. We were lucky to have a front facing with balcony however, we did send the hotel a request for this some time ago. The room is a little small, but clean and tidy. Your not in there long enough, just out exploring. We never had the breakfast so can't comment.

We did have a power cut for two hours on the Saturday morning. But not the hotels fault.

Just a little info: Airport to Nice centre is bus 98 about 20min, about 4 euro's each.
Bus to Monaco number 100 takes about 45min and is 2 euro's each. Bonkers I know.

Nice old town is very good. Lots of places to eat and drink. Try the Monaco drink. Lovely.
We were lucky to be in Monaco when the Monte Carlo rally was in town too. The water front is beautiful.

My only criticism is the dogs mess. It's everywhere! And for a city like Nice this is not good.

Would we go back? Yes.

Room Tip: Ask or send an email first.

“Conveniently located”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My Boyfriend and I spent two nights in this hotel.

The plus is that the hotel is conveniently located, close to all transport and about a 20min walk to the beach. It is not in the noisiest area of Nice, but the breakfast crowd from the Cafe's below could be a disturbance if you are a light and sleeper.

It had a working and effective air-con unit, and it was clean. The down side is that the room is really small. Breakfast is available on the premises at an additional cost, the staff was friendly and helpful.

I don't think that the hotel was unfairly priced, but if you're not happy with a small room to sleep in and stairs to get there then don't book at this hotel. Overall I would stay here again if I was looking for budget accommodation.

Room Tip: We stayed in Double Tradition room with a street view.

Dear Mrs. Mandy,
Thank you for your advice from your stay in July 2011. Indeed all of our guest appreciate the very good location. The beach is around max. 10 min. walk away ( rue Droite, and then always straight on). Our tradition rooms are in between 10.50m² to 14 m² big. Our superior rooms are even bigger. The building is partly from the 18th. century, it was a part from a former Franciscan monastery. We would be happy to welcoming you again during your next trip to Europe, and please call us, in order to choose together the wished room, as every room is different and decorated in a personalized way.

“Very pleasant place to stay in Old Nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

My wife and I spent a week here in April and loved the experience. The location is superb; right in Old Nice and very close to Place Garibaldi and the Port. The staff all spoke English and were extremely friendly and helpful. I would avoid the expensive breakfast served there - there are lots of cafes and boulangeries very close by.

Dear Mr Sacco,
many thanks for your kind advise. We always try to give some interesting ideas to visite Nice to our clients when they are coming to see us. We love as well the place Garibaldi and for your information in about 1 to 2 month time we will have a " Orangerie" nearly in front of our hotel ( were the former bus station was). We serve a full Buffet breakfast with fresh boiled eggs, fresh fruits, cheese, ham, muesli, juices...croissants, baquette... all " as much as you wish" and it costs 8.50 €. You can also have just a coffee for 1.80 €. As you like. Anyhow it was a pleasure welcoming you looking forward seeing you again. Merci from the entire team.
