A good hotel

We enjoyed our stay. The location was good and the room very clean; The bed was particularly comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Our only criticism would be that the shower was not working very well and a couple of things fell off the wall!

The staff were super friendly & helpful but our superior room with balcony - not one you could stand or sit on - was pretty small with 3 coat hangers and a shelf each. The hotel was a good 20 minute walk from the Promenade des anglais, and therefore the restaurants etc
