This hotel was not exactly cheap in the off-season; in mid-March, this place was $484 for 3 nights ($161 a night) but I would have expected slightly better for something this price.
Location - The location was very central and it was walkable everywhere. About 10 min from Promenade des Anglais (the main boulevard along the beach), 10 min from the train station (Nice Ville), if you want to take the SNCF to Monaco, and 20-25 min walking to Vieux Ville. There are a decent amount of restaurants in the area too. It's easy to get dropped off and picked up in a cab or Uber in this location also.
Room / Hotel - The hotel itself is renovated and feels modern and new. The room was spacious for a European hotel and we had ample room. There was a safe and a refrigerator in the closet. The TV was huge and new, and very clear. The heater/thermostat didn't really work too well, so we were hot in the middle of the night and didn't sleep super well. I can't imagine this in the summer when it's even hotter. The bed was pretty comfortable but the duvet was really warm and there was no sheet, so you had to sleep with the duvet on, or nothing at all. The duvet wasn't super great at regulating body temperature so I didn't sleep that well since I kept waking up super hot and sweating.
Amenities - They had a pot to boil water and make tea, and also provided 2 complimentary bottles of water which was a nice touch. They also had a nice note and some chocolates on the bed upon arrival.
Bathroom - The bathroom was large and nice, and they provided shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, but the shower was terrible. There was nowhere to put the shower head above you, so you had to hold the shower head with one hand and then attempt to wash your hair with your other hand. This made for very awkward and difficult showering. Not sure who designed this shower but if they were going to go through the effort of remodeling the room, the least they could have done was put something to hold the shower head. We also ran out of hot water for 10-15 min on a Monday morning and had to wait for the hot water to come back.
Overall, the location of the hotel was great, the rooms were nice and remodeled but we were a little annoyed by the heater and the shower head in the bathroom, especially at the prices that they charge. read more
