I wasn't sure what to expect, so was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. The rooms are small and basic, but clean and with everything I needed. As others have commented, the staff on reception deserve a mention for their friendly, helpful service.

Although the hotel isn't situated in the most salubrious of areas, everywhere was easily accessible on foot and I felt safe enough walking back even after dark. The airport bus stop is just a stone's throw away which is definitely a bonus when you have luggage.

I was in a room overlooking the street and there was a fair bit of noise well into the night. A light sleeper (which I'm not) could have problems. Having said that, Nice is so built up, that unless you're on a top floor, I imagine it could be exactly the same in many other hotels.

If like us, you're intending to spend most of your time out and about and need a hotel just for an hour or so in the morning and a couple of hours at night, then this one is good value. I would be happy to stay there again.

I found the hotel to be very comfortable, at a bargain price, great location (i could see the station from my window) 10 min walk to the waterfront.

Although it is a few months later than our actual experience, and we have been travelling quite a bit since then, I still recall the remarkably approachable, consistently helpful and courteous front desk staff. The men and women probably spoke four languages and were always available to answer tourism inquires and to offer specific directions and useful information. We actually extended our stay there an additional three days because the hotel was so comfortable and there was so much to see and do in Nice. We also returned there, after some road travelling on on our, to spend our final two nights. The accommodations have been recently rennovated and the local is within a small, friendly community and close to the train to Cannes.

My wife and I stayed at My Hotels Ayri de Nice during a stopover in Nice. While we didn't expect much considering this is a budget hotel, we were disappointed that it didn't even live up to our modest expectations. Our room was no better than a private room with ensuite at a decent youth hostel.
