The air was unhealthy to the point that I was gagging. Some bathrooms were covered with mold and mildew to the point I nearly threw up from the smell. The entire building had fumes of fresh paint and sealant including in rooms being rented out. We had to trudge up stairs that were too narrow for carrying luggage, and then were offered a couple of rooms, but both were unliveable.. This place should have been completely shut until renovated. The people doing painting and sealing work didn't even look professional, though, and wet sealant in one room they put us in was basically a big puddle around the tub. The staff was polite enough, but the check in person did not know how to use a computer to look up our reservation. Reservation papers were in huge messy files all around the check in desk. We left after an hour even though we had pre-paid for two nights because we felt ill both from fumes and the smell of mold and mildew.. I'm a seasoned hostel and backpacker traveler, so I am not some fussy pampered guest. This place truly should have been condemned and closed and not reopened unless thoroughly renovated. Expedia--why do you allow this kind of property to be in your system? Why is there no way to contact Expedia and report this kind of beyond the pale situation?

Excellent location, minutes from the beach. It was a steep climb up to our room on the 4th floor. The room faced the back of the building, not the crowded, noisy street, and so it was quiet and comfortable, and the air conditioning was great. The room had a kettle and refrigerator, and there is a Spar grocery store around the corner, where we bought everything for breakfast and lunch, including fresh tasty croissants. One oddity, if you were in the room, the cleaning ladies did not knock to see if anything was needed, just by-passed us. This happened twice in five days. Tramway #2 now runs from the airport to within 1/2 kilometer of the hotel for one euro fifty.

Stay at Hotel Felix, Nice
A good reasonable hotel, in the hear of Nice by the seafront area. Small, but it served it's purpose. It was in the centre of the buzz of activity. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room service was timely, clean linen and well maintained. For the cost it is great value.

Cheap and cheerful
Very dated and somewhat run down hotel. Great location and helpful younger guy at desk. If you are just looking for somewhere to sleep it is fine and for the money paid can't expect much more. Seen into some of the other rooms and they looked in much better condition then mine so maybe they are up grading the place.

One of small hotels in the centre of Nice
Personnel is very friendly and helpful. Location is great-short walk to the seafront, old Nice and shopping area. Easy to get from/to airport and train station. A bit noisy-but it’s something one should expect if you live in the vibrant town centre. And windows in the hotel are good and when closed keep most of the noise out. I felt that hotel had some local character-the interiors, notes no boards, shadows on some walls, the wall finish and colours, some unusual elements of décor. Breakfast room is small and combined with the office-some may not like it but to me it just adds to the home-like style. Breakfast is a generous French petit déjeuner – orange juice, croissant, 2 large pieces of baguette, butter, jam, hot drink. The room was clean-hotel personnel was excellent at cleaning and provided lots of towels, soap, shampoo. Unfortunately the state of repair is poor. Some plaster on walls damaged, cracks on walls, stains on walls and ceiling. Having said that, the bathroom in our room looked new, all in working order, although it would be nice to have some hooks to hang clothes and towels. WiFi was slow and sometimes disappeared-I even had to ask the staff to get it to work – I think they had to reboot the router. But in my experience hotel WiFi is usually poor in France. Would I come back? I’d say yes if the price is right.

Central hotel in the pedestrian area
The check-in / check-out was simple. The staff answered any queries I had. The room was adequate for somewhere to rest my head after a day of sight-seeing. There was a kettle in the room and free tea & coffee, though no refrigerator, even though it specified there would be one in the room.. Breakfast consisted of a croissant, bread, jam & butter, hot drink and juice. all quite basic but adequate.

Great Value on Rue Massena
The lively pedestrian zone Rue Massena is a wonderful area just a few minutes walk to the beach. Hotel Felix is half the price of many hotels in the area. It is comfortable and a great value for the price. Rooms are "worn" but fine for the traveler who is looking to be economical in an otherwise pricey area.

Great location not much else.
I booked this hotel in February 2016 for the last weekend in May without realising that it was the Monaco GP weekend so the hotel I wanted to stay at, hotel de suede was fully booked. I had seen some reviews that didn't sound too good but didn't pay much attention... I wish I had! The hotel is very small, old fashioned, no lift and not much in way of breakfast. Apparently this has to be booked the night before we waited half an hour for hot water and milk for tea. The rooms are cleaned daily but the hotel itself doesn't look clean. Staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel is in a great location but that's about it.

Cosy room, kind and helpful staff. Considering the price, it was what I expected, standard-wise. They were doing some upgrading on the interior so over all impression will probably look better by now. Location was much better than I had hoped for! And free wifi, coffee/tea and hair dryer, what else do you need? You're not going to Nice to stay in a hotel room, are you?

Bit shabby, but perfectly adequate
I was firstly given a very small disappointing room at the back of the building (room no. 3), with a view of the back of other buildings and not enough blankets to keep me warm in bed. Luckily for me, the shower leaked, so on my 2nd day, I was moved to room 5, which was a much larger family room at the front of the building, with its own balcony overlooking Rue Massena. It was a quiet room, very large, with a small cafe style table and a sofa - much better! The hotel could do with some decorating, but is in reasonable order, and was clea, and it was in a prime location!

Excellent location but not in good condition
Excellent location, easy walking to restaurants, super markets and landmarks.. notably just a couple of blocks off the promenade that runs aloe Nices famous beaches. Easy walking to the Train station from there as well if you don't want to catch one of the many busses that run nearby. Be warned, without an elevator, the workout I got lugging a heavy suitcase up to the top floor was not a fun way to start my stay there. Additionally the room was in poor shape. Paint peeling off the walls, stains on the comforter and dirt on the floor made me uncomfortable. wireless worked but was so throttled in my room it was unusable. For the price and location I would however stay there again if they ever do some renovations.

Good location but nothing else
This hotel is in a sorry state with lights not working, only one electrical outlet in the room, shower door knobs falling off, and young staffer saying printer was not working to print out boarding passes when it was working and another gentleman helped with that. Also, we were charged more than the rack rate which was outrageous. I would not recommend anyone staying there.

The location is good. It is walking distance from the major interesting poist. Also, it is one block from the beach and two blocks from the TRAM. The major problem is that there is no elevator. If you are traveling with big and heavy suitcases, it is terrible!

Great price on a hotel with a super location
We had a nice room, plenty big enough for four people, but it was on the top floor, the fifth, and there was no elevator, which was hard on my elderly mother. The first room they showed us on a floor lower, still hadn't been cleaned by five in the evening when we'd arrived at the hotel, and the carpets on the stairs and in the halls were filthy. But again, it was a great price for the location and I feel we got what we paid for. The hotel allows pets and that makes it harder to keep clean.

Great location - average rooms
This hotel has one great thing going for it: location. Your are right in the middle of it all, within walking distance of most of Nice's main attractions. You walk out the front door and instantly have 10 restaurants to choose from, not to mention shops of all kinds. Downsides: no parking facility. The rooms are ok size-wise but are somewhat run down a bit. Internet connection can be spotty, especially if you're on the upper floors. The noise emanating from the street below can be quite noticeable, even with the windows closed. Price seemed a bit steep to me, although I was staying on the Monaco GP / Cannes Festival weekend. Staff was very friendly and helpful - they securely kept my luggage for a whole day after I had checked out, as I was transferring to another hotel and didn't want to drag it along all day. All in all a conveniently located hotel, but rather ordinary.

Perfectly situated close to the beach and the old town. Rooms are small but are adequate and clean. Exactly what you expect from a budget hotel. There is no lift, so if you are unlucky enough to be on the 4th floor, you might work up quite a sweat. Nice hotel with character.
