Hyvä ratkaisu ja hyvä sijainti

Mukava ja erittäin siisti hotelli rautatieaseman lähellä. Yövyin useamman yön ja ilmastointi toimi hyvin (oli tarpeen). Huone ei ollut suuri, mutta riittävän kokoinen ja kylpyhuone oli oikein tilava. Vastaanotossa oli ystävällistä henkilökuntaa. Kahtena aamuna söin myös aamiaisen, joka oli hyvä ja monipuolinen.

Personally left this hotel after the first night and went to the Radisson Blu. Felt like a backpackers hotel. The room doesn’t look like the photos, it’s very old and worn. The hallway carpet was filthy carpet and the elevator has this weird They provided a refund but I would not recommend.

Die Teppichböden im Aufzug bzw. im Treppenhaus sind der Horror! Mit Flecken übersät, schaut absolut asozial aus. Hoffe, dass die Flecken nicht alle von den Hunden, welche erlaubt sind, kommen! In denn Zimmern war zum Glück kein Teppich und daher einigermaßen wohnlich.

The hotel was perfectly located for our needs, a five night stay to get to know Nice and go to Monte Carlo for the tennis tournament by train. All staff were welcoming and helpful, bar one (feedback was given to management), the petit dejeuner was good value. The room was compact but we travel light! Good bathroom and facilities. A happy stay overall!

This hotel is ok. I would say is a two stars hotel rather than three. The breakfast is very poor, and far from it was advertised which I believe is a bit misleading when you compare the hotel with other hotels to take a decision. The location is excellent if you want Nice to be you base destination
