This is a simple, if somewhat soul-less hotel in a shopping/train station area of Nice.

In hindsight, I wouldn't stay here again because I didn't like the location, thought the hotel itself was good value. The location between the station and the beach is busy, noisy and there's a lot of dodgy people around.

Next time I'd stay either closer to the beach or in a nearby village.

3+. Very clean, a tad small but still, the installations are quite close to our "north american standards".
We had a nice "prestige" room on the last floor with a very big terrasse. (room 702)
Clean, Big and well equipped bathroom.

On the downside, we were just in front of the evelators, and yes, it was quite noisy. The Door wasn't really soundproof...

Good staff, very helpful and polite, they did speak an ok English from what I could hear when they had to.

The rooftop bar has very prohibive prices (like 9.5E for a pint of heineken...) and the week-end service is really bad. (The guy didn't really want to work. The week-day dude (Sam) was really nice and helpful though.

View from the rooftop pool is very scenic.

Free wifi from Orange (partnership with Mercure hotels it seems) but beware , they block the RTP ports for VoIP.

Breakfast:
ours was included in our price. Very impressive lineup of fruits, breads, croissants, eggs, beverages. Is it worth the 18E standalone ? Not sure; but still, very fresh and very good. (If you don't get it bundled, I strongly advise you just walk 30secounds outside to any corner bakery and get fresh croissants.)

Location: Excellent - very close to the train station; yet not too far from the Promenade des anglais or any other tourist places.

Booked 3 rooms for family in September and happy with our stay. Hotel is well located just off the promenade and suitably located between the old town / beach area and the train station. Hotel staff were excellent, making the check in process seamless. Rooms are fine, if a little dated. Rooftop pool and deck present great views of surrounding Nice. Overall a good value hotel for Nice.

this hotel is great, the rooms beds amazing, have stayed in nicer places but you cant complain, realey... june and july is great as it is very warm in nice there is a great sundeck on the roof 6th floor with bar and swimming pool and fantastic veiws over nice,just be aware nice is an expensive place and hotel bar prices reflect that 10 euros for pint of beer and 7 euros for cola, there is a reasonable supermarket down the road though, but in general we found the surrounding bars restaurants expensive , ok for a few days.... some rooms have balconys which would have been nice but they wanted an additional charge the room was a bit stuffy and it would have been good to open a window but they dont open breakfast was ok could have been hotter...
