Now the view wasn't great, but this is an affordable hotel, reduce your expectations, I slept in my room thats it! I did like and appreciate the big thick blackout curtains and blinds.

The Best Bits "the NICE bits" about this best budget hotel in Nice

  • Immaculately refurbished and styled,

  • The staff were so friendly, the American Bar person was so nice and made me an epic house cocktail.

  • The location was great, 5 minute walk to Nice Riquer station and then I could jump on a train to the amazing small coastal towns on the French Riviera,



Here are lots of things to do in Nice!




Here is a silly little Tik Tok video of my stay, have a look and don't forget to follow my socials!

The Naughty Bits, not so NICE PAM!

  • The Wifi was't great, it was a bit intermittent, but I wasn't in Nice for that!

  • Breakfast at €17 extra wasn't great, I had a croissant, 2 coffees, some Juice and some luke warm scrabbled eggs. Day 2 I decided to skip breakfast and at around 11:30 I asked to order some 'Avo poached egg/toast' from their menu, I was told to come back in an hour, Ok hun! Non

  • Randomly the water bottle in my room was empty- yes third world problems

  • The View (check out my tik tok video)
