Very nice hotel and very friendly staff. It’s the older style of hotel where you leave your key with the front desk when you go out. All front desk staff spoke English although I enjoyed practicing my French. We had two rooms—the more expensive room had a sweeping view of the city and the sea. North Americans will notice that the rooms don’t have much additional seating but this is Europe. Rooms were very clean and I did not notice a lot of dust or any bad smells. The neighborhood is residential and quieter than many in the city. It is also on a fairly steep hill. We are in our early 60’s and in good shape and enjoyed the walking. We used the private parking, which is limited. We were initially told there was no availability but when we checked in they told us they had a spot. We were there in October and saw occasional spots on the street as well. I assume availability will depend on the season. I took the continental breakfast as there did not seem to be options right near the hotel. It was good. This was a decent hotel with no bad surprises.

This is a lovely boutique hotel. The staff were very helpful & greeted us with such warm welcoming. It is a bit of a walk uphill from the old city but felt it was worth our stay.

Without exception, every staff member on the property was friendly, helpful, and accommodating, especially Kevin. Kevin recommended outstanding non-touristy restaurants, made our reservations, and made sure we had on-time transportation to the airport. We look forward to seeing him each day!

I just returned from a week’s stay at this beautiful boutique hotel and it exceeded my expectations! The hotel is lovely, exuding charm around every corner. From the moment I arrived, the staff were extremely attentive and went above and beyond. A big thank you to Philippe, Kevin, Daniel and all the staff at the hotel, who not only provided amazing recommendations, but happily made arrangements for us. I very much enjoyed the amazing breakfast spread every morning and the torte of the day! Delicious! On the Friday night before we left, the hotel arranged a fantastic jazz duo for the guests, with champagne on the terrace and it was just magical. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend!

We had an excellent stay for 6 nights. The hotel is a beautiful boutique hotel and is one of a kind in Nice. It’s very elegant and the room we had was beautiful. It’s in a quiet neighborhood that is outside of all the tourist areas. It’s a 10 Minute downhill walk to old Nice and the promenade. I recommend taking an Uber back unless you are ready for a steep walk. The highlight of this hotel is Phillipe, the front desk manager. He made such an impact and was such a wonderful man to experience every morning. The hotel was great but he made it even better!

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
