We enjoyed our stay at this hotel: the staff are helpful and the room, although not large, was very clean and comfortable. (A small suggestion: coffee making facilities in the bedrooms would be most welcome. There is a coffee machine in the vestibule, charging €2 a time. Perhaps a little bit cheeky!) The beauty of this hotel is that it is right in the centre, close to seafront and the main streets, with lots of lovely places to eat and good bars. Even so, it is not noisy. I would recommend this hotel for someone looking for a good reasonable place from which to explore Nice.

The property was okay it has a good location. Circles was good. Air con struggled with the 30+ temperatures and didn't get the room below 24 degrees. The shower in our quadruple room could have done with a refurb and space in the room was a bit tight. Staff were really helpful

Very nice, but a/c is misleading

Nice small hotel, clean and a great location. They are overdoing the ECO friendliness. Hotel has AC but they would not turn it below 26C/ 79F in the room. Having a heat wave in southern France and sweating all day, there was no exemption. Hard to fall asleep at night. We changed hotels after 3 nights.

Great location easy to navigate around the town. Walls quite thin so could hear the people in the room next to us very clearly and in the hallways. But apart from this excellent stay.

Bad hotel. Rooms far too hot and sun lit

This is not 4 star hotel. 3 stars at best. Issues: Light floods into the room because they unwisely have glass panels in the bathroom door…and the bathroom has huge uncovered windows. So the result is the main room is flooded with bright light early in the morning. Horrible. The AC does nothing. It is central AC and my room was 26C all the time. I asked the front desk staff for help to make sure I was working the AC controls in the room okay (I maxed out the AC), and they said since it was after hours no one could help me with this…not even the front desk people. Unacceptable.

Quick and easy check in, plenty of food options nearby. Iron available on request. Beds were quad in family room very comfortable beds. Rooms were a little small but was okay for us as we only stayed for two nights. The tv could have been better by offering tv channels of English language.
