Spring Break
30 March 2008
Got very good for three days bed and breakfast in late March. Very covienient location for Nice East, 10 minutes walk from Promenade des Anglais and old Nice. Nice residential area, plenty of bars, shops and restaurants. Shops around this area a good cross section, from antiques, furniture, to really nice clothes and shoe shops. Didn't even seem too expensive, good value compared to Irish prices with our high cost of living. A good three couse dinner could be had from between €18 -€25. Beer €6 a pint and very good local provencal wine affordable. Back to the hotel. The rooms a bit small and on the shabby side,(we were on the 3rd floor) but spotlessly clean. Bathroom modern and perfectly adequate. Air con was fine. On the down side, walls were paper thin and it was hard to have a snooze after a hard days sightseeing, when we were privy to the next next rooms occupants very loud....eh..activity! Breakfast was ample, and as we were some of the last guests to go down in the morning the waiter very kindly told us we were welcome to take anything extra from the buffet before he cleared it away. Very nice friendly helpful staff. I would go back again, though would ask for a larger room next time..with thicker walls. On a last note, the hotel was undergoing renovation while we were there, but we were never disturbed by the builders.

Excellent hotel to stay in - very centrally located in a quite residential area of Nice and surrounded by a great choice of bars, restaurants and shops. About 5 mins walk to Promenade des Anglais and 10 mins to train station. 5 mins walk to old Nice where there is an excellent choice of restaurants, bars and market stalls (a great holiday atmosphere here at night time). About 10 mins walk to Nice harbour. Room in hotel was above basic and very comfortable and cleaned every day - fresh towels and bed clothes were provided daily. Room had air-conditioning (a must!) and a mini-bar. Hotel also had it's own bar in the lobby. Wide choice of food for breakfast - even M&M's for us chocolate lovers! Hotel staff were very friendly, polite and always willing to help, providing maps, adaptors, iron etc when required. Great value for money - 8 nights cost us €920 including breakfast for a 'classic' room. Would recommend it as a hotel to stay in and if going back to Nice, would certainly stay there again.

A great hotel. Clean, warm and quiet. We obtained a non-smoking room. Althought basic, the room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast very good. Very central to all the sights, the promenade and the oldtown are just 5 minutes away. Got the 98 bus from the airport (€4) to Massena and the hotel was just 5 minutes away. Going home we got the 98 bus again from Gustave 5 bus stop. I would have no problem recommending this hotel for its convenience, comfort and price !.
