This hotel is very well located, right on the main promenade/boardwalk of the city, Quai des Etats-Unis, (which is the continuation of Avenue des Anglais), and next to the famous Opera House, also adjacent to Vieux Nice (old town)where most of the tourist attractions, good shops, and restaurants and bars are located.
Our room was reasonably cute, with a little balcony overlooking a small courtyard, although the view was not particularly scenic. The room itself was small, but the bathroom was clean and well lit, which I liked. Our TV did not get any English channels except BBC News, and we quickly became very bored with that!
We learned the hard way that some rooms have an additional staircase leading to them, and it was quite difficult to manage the small stairs with our large suitcases, so ask in advance!
The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast until 10am and although we slept through it on two mornings, we highly recommend waking up for it! The food at this breakfast is plentiful and good, and considering how expensive food in Nice is, make sure you get at least one free meal a day to cut costs!!
