This is a lovely “petit” hotel - very well maintained and presented, friendly service, well managed, good breakfast. The deluxe room with sea view/balcony is very tight (e.g. towels hung on towel rail virtually touch the toilet, open door virtually touches the bed, no mirror over dressing table/desk as no room). It has a standing room-only balcony and very distant glimpse of a sea view. During our 5 night stay, complimentary water, tea/coffee and toiletries were not replenished after use (they were provided when requested.) Unfortunately its location is not convenient for tourists. It is a long, steep walk to the town centre and not well served by public transport. Ubers to return from the main restaurant areas averaged €14 during our stay. This may be cheap for EU/US visitors but not for us from the UK. Overall, I wish I had booked a less pretty room in a better location as the compromise wasn’t worth it on this occasion. (Note to all readers: I review for the benefit of other travellers, not the establishments, which I hope is helpful - the staff here were all worthy of a very good rating but I have written the review ai wish I’d have read before booking.)

We had a room with a marvellous view across Nice to the sea. The room lacked storage for clothes - only a problem if staying for longer than a couple of nights (we had booked for a week). We pointed this out and some furniture was found for our use. Very helpful staff, excellent breakfast, quiet hotel situated on high ground in a residential area, so be prepared for walking to find nearest restaurant, supermarket etc.

Best service in Nice
Absolutely impeccable, 5-star service made our anniversary stay unforgettable. The concierge was very helpful and attentive. The hotel is super clean (not even the tiniest water drop mark in the bathroom) and very well positioned in a quiet area. We could only hear the birds singing. The best part was the garden with the pool, lemon trees and huge pine trees. Next time we will be back for the room with panoramic sea view

Great boutique hotel in a good location
Great hotel in a quiet but accessible location. Easy to walk everywhere from the hotel. Throughly enjoyed my stay and was impressed with the quality of the room and the service. The only minor thing is that room service food wasn’t enjoyable at all and blackout curtains in the room weren’t wide enough to fully block out the light.

The distance to walk to the historic center, the museums, the market for groceries like juice, waters and fruit are very close. We absolutely love this hotel and highly recommend it!
