The hotel is well situated for the train station in not the nicest area of Nice. From the outside is an attractive building. I booked a classic room, which by my own admission was a mistake. The photos are extremely inaccurate of room size and you can barely walk around the bed it is so cramped, I contacted the hotel ahead of arrival to notify of disability and requested a quiet room. The room could not have been noisier. The room above sounds like it occupied a herd of elephants and the noise is bad from cleaners from 7.30am At check in the young man was initially polite then proceeded to have a row with a lady called Sylvia during our check in process. Extremely unprofessional. The reception staff look very miserable and don’t engage with you. The cleaners all appeared to be nice and friendly. The shower is very good and the bed comfortable. I did not take breakfast so can not comment. The low score from my opinion is due to staff and noise The electrics are also a problem on floor 3. The lights badly flicker and a fellow guest had a shock from a hair dryer If you are offered room 307 do not pay and run! I have visited Nice many times on the same budget and this hotel is by far the worse. It’s a shame as this is a return visit and on the last occasion was great! If you come and expect basic you will be fine, English guests think easy hotel or small travel lodge otherwise avoid Best suited to younger people, not couples. To the hotel please sort the electrical issue on floor 3 not just shrug and say you can’t do anything about it. Someone could really get injured Terrible stay overall and would not return…

Hotel -Layout was not welcoming/ inviting as the front doors leads to a hallway & the reception desk is up 3steps before you are greeted by someone. This makes carrying luggage difficult. - Storing luggage until the room was ready was fine. - Lift was small and can fit max 3people without luggage and was sometimes slow to come. - Would not rate as a 4 star hotel. Location - Approx. 15min walk from the promenade, which meant we were away from the noise. - 2mins away from the train station, which is ideal is travelling by train. - Area was OK, but not the best. Drinks - The complimentary drinks were tap water, lemonade (made from tap water), tea and coffee. If you dont drink tap water, there is no free alternative provided, with the reason given they are reducing use of plastic (bottled, glass water is avaiable to purchase). Room -We stayed in a classic room (208) which was compact. -They are definitely not soundproof & is dependent on the guests, as we could hear their conversations and when they were using the shower. -All the hotel doors make a loud bang when closed. -The room layout and space could have been utilised more effectively. E.g. 1/3 of the wardrobes were dumpy drawers. We had a chair but it was placed infront of the only long mirror in the room. -The charging ports were only accessible from one side of the bed, which can be challenging & annoying at times. - The room view was of the street and of the opposite building, which was not the nicest. Breakfast -We would advise you to think twice before booking breakfast. -Breakfast selection is very small - neatly presented in the corner of the room. -Minimal vegetarian and vegan optipns - which is not worth the money they ask - with the reason given France is not accomodating to vegetarian food. One gluten free option. -Fresh orange juice and breads were delicious. -There were 2 choices of fresh fruit (apple & kiwi) neither of which looked appealing. -No salad options. -Staff did not clear the tables as you were eating. -If all the guests were to be in the room at the same time, it would be very cramped, noisy and cause queuing. Staff -Half were friendly, polite and welcoming. The other half were not and would not acknowledge you upon entering or leaving the hotel. -When we were checking out, we were not offered support with our luggage down the steps, instead a hotel guest offered to help us! Also, the staff member did not finish with out checking out and had already started serving the guest behind us. -When making enqueries, staff were helpful and tried their best, with clear instructions. -An item was requested, which was not available. We were reassured this item would be sent to our room the next morning, but alas this did not happen.…

The staff at the Excelsior are happy and care about their guests. Our room (Delux) was spacious with high ceilings and felt very grand. The ground floor lounge with a free coffee machine and facility to fill bottles or glasses of filtered still or fizzy water was a really nice touch as was the patio courtyard. A lovely old building, decorated impeccably with a modern twist but still retaining an elegant feel. Location for us was was perfect. You could get to public transport or walk to the old town and promenade easily and safely. The hotel is in a pleasant road only a short walk from the main station with Cannes and Monte Carlo within a half hour train ride. I will definitely be back to the Excelsior to explore more of the Côte d'Azur by train and hope the wonderful staff are still there when we do.Thank you!…

Beautiful, well equipped hotel with clean, comfortable rooms and very friendly staff. Was a quiet for relaxing and the hotel offered free shuttle service which made it easy to get to shopping/activities. Nice walking areas too. Would highly recommend this hotel. Was my favourite city of the three we visited. Easy to rent a car to tour the whole place which can be done in a day.

Friendly staff. Super clean. We had a garden facing room so no issue with noise. Hairdryer soap, shampoo all aupplied. We didn't have breakfast, so can't comment.I liked the tea ,coffee , water facilities in the lovely cosy lounge. On arrival we were advised about best places to visit in the area and given a map, which was very useful The area felt very safe. Extremely well located for the station. Ie about 2 min walk up a flight of stairs. Boulangerie,patisserie 2 min towards the sea. About a 10 minute walk to either the main eating area or the shopping area. Promenade about 12-15 min walk away.
