Nice Hotel Guide - Institut de Francais hotels in Nice, France.

"Beautiful views of the Mediterranean; large rooms; fewer room amenities than other boutique hotels."

"In the centre easy access for trains buses and attractions. I did not have breakfast so can’t comment. The bar is small ."

"Fantastic location. Lobby is in good condition. The room I was given ( even as a platinum elite Bonvoy member) was quite dated especially in the bathroom. Staff was helpful. "

"Everything in the hotel is nice, clean, and has a pleasant ambiance. However, I recommend that the hotel add a few more amenities that other hotels offer as standard, such as a refrigerator and an iron. Apart from that, the hotel is in an excellent location. "

"Lovely staff and hôtel "

"Perfect room and location was brilliant. Breakfast was very good, and hotel clean. Only downside was when we arrived we were charged €150 for three people, we was told this was to cover incase anything was charged to the room from the restaurant or the bar. We had no intentions of doing this but still had to put this down as a deposit and it wasn’t listed in the fees when we booked so was an unexpected cost which wasn’t factored in. Yes it was returned upon checkout but took a chunk of budget out of the holiday spending which we didn’t factor in or cover to transfer extra over into euros from sterling."

"Comfortable and happy stay at Mama Shelter. The bed was super comfy! Staff are very welcoming and friendly. A little walk from tram stop and seafront but very near Nice Riquier station - perfect for day trips - and only a few minutes from a good range of restaurants and bars. Buffet breakfast decent with a good amount of choice. Options for the restaurant and terrace menus are a but decent. The room had no kettle so way of making hot drinks, which is disappointing, and surprising given the level of hotel. I also couldn’t get the air conditioning to work. I kept forgetting to ask reception about it but at one point the control screen said “centrally controlled”. It meant the room never cooled down and it was uncomfortably warm at night which meant poor nights sleeping despite the comfy bed. Overall, I liked the hotel, but the warm room and lack of coffee/tea making in room would probably mean choosing elsewhere if I returned to Nice. "

"The hotel is in an excellent location. The staff was friendly, and the lobby was neat and clean. The room was large, and I loved the balcony views. The only issue was that there were no phone ports close to the bed. Neither did the bathroom have any electrical outlets. Other than these, everything was perfect. "

"Great host, very accommodating and great communication. The views were fantastic ! "
