The location is central and the water and coffee is a nice touch. But the hotel itself is just okay. The AC is weak and the building is older, hot and tight. At its price point, it was a little underwhelming.

The hotel is only 15 mins drive from the airport and 4 min walk to Nice train station - also trams are close by. Excellent location. Friendly staff and very cute boutique hotel. Twin room is amazIng size for a few days but if you were staying longer it’s a tiny bit small. But loved it !! Vanity area, fridge, chair, bedside table, good hanging area, spacious bathroom, kettle & tea/coffee bits. Breakfast was included in our price - great selection- continental & cooked. Tea / Coffee/ Water free 24hrs. Daily cleaning- excellent time spent - thank you.

Veldig hyggelig betjening, god og stor seng. Faktisk en av de bedre sengene for prisen. Fint rom. Ligger rett ved togstasjonen, som er helt perfekt for de som vil på dagsturer rundt omkring. Litt lite frokost, så om du er et skikkelig frokostmenneske så er nok dette ikke stedet. Men de hadde det du trengte, kaffe, croissanten og litt brødmat.
