Riquier Holidays

A great spot located walking distance to the Nice Centre-Ville station. Extremely friendly staff that were helpful and accommodating. The common space where they have breakfast in the morning was also a spot where groups could hang out during the rest of the day. Overall, a great option for a hotel stay closer to the train station.

The hotel is in Biot, which is one stop from Antibes (old town). It’s located close next to Aqua park and Antibes theme park but there are very few restaurants around and we did feel very isolated and had little choice but to get the train to Antibes old town every evening. The beach opposite is a stone beach so we also got the train to Juan Les Pins (2 stops). During check in they were unhelpful and wouldnt even entertain the idea of allowing us to check in a moment before 3pm…. Even if our room was ready. It’s a shame they didn’t put in as much effort inside as they did on the outside, as when I arrived I did think it looked lovely. The pool is very small, it could have been a lot bigger given the size of the hotel - it was probably as small as a baby pool at a larger hotel. It was fine for the odd pool day, but by no means could you sit around it every day. The food inside the hotel was not good. The drink prices are ridiculous- €5 for a small water, €7 for a Coke Zero, and the food was not enjoyable. We quickly realised that after our lunch on the first day. The rooms are very basic and we did book a family room but I’m pretty sure it was just a standard sized disabled room and therefore cramped for a family of our size (2 adults, 2 children and a toddler). But overall it was ok i just don’t think I’d stay there in the future.

Great location. It’s in a pedestrian only street with a lot of dining options including one of the best right across the street. It takes only 6 minutes or so to walk to the Blue beach.
