We had wonderful time here. The staff on the front desk very friendly and welcoming.
Room are on the smaller side. Smallest sink we have ever seen.
Close to the train if you have to go to Anton, Monaco and many other places.
Really lovely hotel with a lot of details; super friendly stuff in every department

Short stay
Nice staff, hotel in good location for train station (5mins) tram (10mins)Decent breakfast
Room on small side, fine for a few days, bed was very comfortable, didn’t like the sliding bathroom door which didn’t close properly and handle kept coming off, didn’t provide any privacy when going to the toilet!
EThe facilities are very comfortable the staff very attentive, it is literally very close to the beach and you have easy and quick access to restaurants, shops and the center of Nice
The team here are super helpful, knowledgeable about the local restaurants with excellent recommendations. A five minute walk to the station, and great decor - would thoroughly recommend.
Very clean, super hot shower. After 10 nights of traveling this place had the best bed for comfort, warm enough also. Small room but cute decor! Excellent bathroom. Staff spoke great English, close to train station.
Had a great stay. Great staff, kind and always welcoming with a smile. The rooms are on the smaller sizes, but not a problem. Short walking distance to most things ( train station, beach, shopping area etc)
Very convenient hotel next to the train station and 20 min ealk to old Nice. Smart rooms with all is needed with a modern design.

Good for a 3 night trip
Location was amazing. Staff were friendly.
The only thing I would say is that the bed and pillows were not comfortable. We booked a queen bed room and you could tell that it was 2 single beds pushed together. You could hear every step from people above you as the floors were not that sound proofed. Apart from that, it was a lovely hotel!

Disliked: Cleanliness
We've stayed 8 nights. The room and entire hotel is in need of deep cleaning. This is beyond of what a housekeeper can do. You can see dirt or stains on the walls, around air conditioner frame, on the radiator, in the elevator. The bathroom had a sewage smell that they try to disguise by turning the air conditioner on to freezing cold and leaving the door open to the room. Once you shut the bathroom door the smell was quite strong. It is not a 4 star hotel. The breakfast was great. the staff was helpful. Location is OK, although I would not say Thiers Avenue seems very safe in the evening. It is close to Nice-Ville train station and Alsace-Lorraine tram stop. Nice and surroundings are beautiful.
We loved our stay here for a number of reasons but some highlights were the lovely service and helpful staff, the complimentary coffee machine and filtered water which you could help yourself to at anytime and the afternoon snacks.
We loved our stay so much and Nice itself that we ended up staying longer.
The rooms varied in size but were fine for a short stay. They were also clean.
Staff was very helpful, which met my needs a few times. Great location near the train station (5 minute walk). But because of it, street noise from Avenue Thiers may be loud for some if your room faces that direction. It is close to eateries and convenience stores however. Room was comfortable and immaculate. Main sightsee areas to the south and west however takes 15-20 minutes on foot, but it's fun to see the neighborhood and architecture. Definitely a good stay.
