Close to aeroport, quiet location. We felt its cold in the room, and asked to switch off air-conditioner, cleaner was switching it on everyday, I felt that our message wasn’t heard, after long day out, I wish to comeback to comfy room and bed but didn’t feel like this.

Nabil, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Why did the maid only leave us with one bath & face towel? We had to ask reception for more which was prompt. Why put us in a room opposite the lifts when one of them screeched when in use? Why didn't the kitchen staff not understand my request for gluten-free bread (meantioned in French) then did not understand & said no?
Richard, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is an an airport hotel and the terminal 1 is within walking distance. Very convenient and nice rooms of a fair size for a European hotel.

Really good, great customer service, friendly staff.
Alex, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We missed our train out of Nice and had to stay an extra night. This was a last minute booking. We could not have asked for a better hotel: walking distance from the airport, very easy and enjoyable check in, clean rooms and modern, excellent breakfast (where do they get that freshly baked bread??) and across the street from the Nice Saint-Augustin train station. Highly recommend.
Nick, 1-night trip
