Very friendly and accommodating staff, great breakfast that was included. Located in a great spot close to local attractions that are easily walking distance
Rooms were comfortable, staff spoke English and were very friendly! I especially loved the bathroom in 403 as it was very spacious and well0lit. I very much enjoyed my stay even thought it was super short. I wish I stayed longer!
Perfect little hotel. The only one suggestions would be to replace the carpet in the rooms with tile.
Location great, people great, especially the girl at the desk.
This was a good hotel.
For the price 5 out of 5.
Great location.
Walk to beach, train station although a bit of a hike maybe 2 miles.
From there you can go to Monaco or Cannes or Marseille or Lyon.
Just a 10 minute walk to amazing restaurants.
Literally hundreds of them.
Enjoy the beach.
Everything in walking distance.
Staff was friendly and helpful.

This hotel is located in a very convenient area and provides a great city experience. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance, as well as nearby laundromats, which is helpful since the property does not offer laundry service.
One of the highlights of the location is the beautiful park directly across the street. There is also a city tram just around the block that can take you downtown in minutes. For those planning day trips, the train station is only about a mile away and provides easy access to places like Monaco for a very reasonable fare. Be aware that the trains are popular and can be standing-room-only during busy times, although the ride itself is fairly short.
The hotel lobby is charming and welcoming, the breakfast offered each morning was quite good, and the staff were consistently friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout our stay.
Unfortunately, the guest rooms were the weakest part of the experience. They felt more like an older motel than a modern hotel. The rooms were very small, with barely enough space to move around the beds comfortably. While the bathrooms featured attractive artistic tile work and were visually appealing, they were also quite compact. There were no electrical outlets in the bathroom, no ironing boards available, and the carpeting throughout the room felt dated and not what I typically expect from a hotel.
The air conditioning was somewhat loud. Although it kept the room cool, there was a noticeable dampness in th
Overall rating: 5/10
The room was very small and quite old, and the bathroom was especially outdated. The cleanliness was average. The staff were okay and I didn’t have any major issues with them. Overall, it was an average stay, but the room and bathroom definitely need renovation.
Very small rooms, no tea, milk or sugar available had to ask for them, walks are very thin and you hear every sound, bed was hard! Not a 3star more like a 2
This is a very romantic building. Every corner that you see it is art hanging on the walls. I get amazed with the variety of food at the breakfast. Staff were so polite and awesome. 100% recommended.
