Excellent and great value hotel in a fantastic location just 10 or so minutes away from the train station (for day trips to surrounding towns) and the sea and about 15 minutes away from the fantastic old town with its excellent restaurants and beautiful architecture
This hotel is 10min walk from the beach area and approximately 10 to 20 min walking to lots of restaurants and Old Nice. Check in was great, it's 230pm but we got our room at 2pm
The hotel's excellent location, between the train station and the beach, is very convenient. Check-in was quick, the Wi-Fi was excellent, and the breakfasts were delicious.
We had and amazing stay at the hotel. It is walking distance from the beach, old town and very accessible to the train station.
You can also borrow beach parasols and mats for free. Hotel staff were very helpful and polite as well
There is no fridge in the room. There is a water kettle but they didn't have any coffee available in the room. Since I'm a coffee drinker, I bought a small container of instant coffee from the local grocery
Great location
very clean
staff is very professional and helpful, especially Mr. Hussein at the reception
Great, I'd choose it again. The staff are all very nice, and it's super close to the station.
The staff were all smiling and very pleasant. The room was clean, and the location was perfect.
Love this hotel! The location is excellent! Would stay here again!
Pros: Great location, it's near to the Gare Theirs tram stop and Nice-Ville train station. Decent rooms with a fairly big bathroom. Free bottled water available in the cafe downstairs for guests
The hotel is very close to the train station, making it super convenient to take the train to Nice. The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming, and I was satisfied with the cleanliness and overall environment.
Rooms were just large enough to not feel cramped, and with the large windows open you get a nice pleasant sea breeze with spectacular views and very little road noise
Top hotel in front of the sea. Parking. Will repeat!
there are few beaches around just 2-3 mins walking. the area is walkable to nearby amazing restaurants and the port. there is an amazing walk by the coaston the other side. would just enjoy my glass of wine by the window
Although the gate is on the side of the road, the entrance is slanted and the road is very narrow. There are two large trash cans at the door, which blocked it, so it was not easy to find
We recommend booking a room facing the sea for a beautiful view. The economy rooms are located on the lower floor, where there are pipes from a restaurant, and the noise doesn't stop until after 10 PM
Had an amazing 2 nights at the hotel. the staff was helpful and very friendly. the hotel room was very clean. but the best part is definitely the location. The sea view is just perfection
However, on my first night, I stayed in room number 12 on the first floor, and there was a strong smell of paint that even caused an allergic reaction
After communicating with the front desk, I was moved to room number 44 on the fourth floor
The room's terrace directly faces the coastline, offering an unbeatable view.
Environment: Each room has a small balcony with a view of the blue sea, which is indeed beautiful
He suggested I speak to their manager the next morning, implying I might get a refund or at least some compensation. I went back the next day, and it was the same woman who appeared to be of Indian descent
During check-in, the front desk staff pretended to be busy, memorized my card's security code, and then immediately received a text message about a charge
From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with such warmth and kindness that we felt like part of their family. Their genuine hospitality created a comforting and home-like atmosphere that made all the difference
I am here often for a short business travel. The service is excellent, very friendly people at the reception and at breakfast. The rooms are space full and very nice
The hotel is ideally located—right in the heart of Nice and just a short walk from the intercity train station, making it incredibly convenient for both exploring the city and traveling beyond
A Heartwarming Stay in the Heart of Nice – Highly Recommended!
My stay at Nice Excelsior by Happy Culture was truly memorable
The bathrooms are getting a bit old and cleaning could be a little bit better but all in all okay
Check in was not helpful but the checkout was helpful where they offered to carry our bags to the car. There was a little balcony too
Hotel located in the heart of Nice. It is 15 minutes away from the beach and 5 mins away from the train station. Also, the receptionist Philippe was so friendly. Would stay again if I ever visit again Nice. So good.
Very satisfied! It's conveniently located right next to the train station in the city center, making it easy to get everywhere. The room was clean and spacious, with a separate wet/dry bathroom
Very spacious room with high ceilings, nice and cold Aircon and excellent amenities (coffee tea wine glasses and a mini fridge). Staff were friendly and helpful
Great location in between train station and tram (to airport) along the main street with a large supermarket right across the street
Excellent service 👍 Perfect location 👍
Very clean, newly renovated and nice interiors with a place for work and pleasant atmosphere. There are no body lotions in the bathroom. The front desk staff missed a service feeling.
Lovely room in a good location with lots of restaurants and shops near by. We were able to walk down to the beach (10 minutes) for a lovely early morning swim. Love the little balcony in our room
Good Hotel in an excellent location for the railway station and main shipping area, although a good walk from the sea front the walk to the front was doable. Service was fine, the room could have been cleaner eg
Staff were very accomodating!!
An elegant place to stay!!
Very near at the train station!
We're regulars at this hotel, but unfortunately, we got a rather outdated room this time. So, a bit disappointed, but the prices are still more than reasonable.
Lovely welcome, was offered an upgrade as well. It is a pity I didn't have the time to thoroughly enjoy as late arrival and early departure!
Everything was great, including the room comfort and reception service. Thank you. 🌺
Superb location! Breakfast is a bit poor, some interesting food options (as different types of cheese, fruits, nuts) could be added as well
Fantastic hotel in great location! Newly renovated with beautiful decor in bedrooms and breakfast room. We were a very large group of 24 colleagues and the staff were so professional, helpful and accommodating
Many of the negative reviews pertaining to to the old hotel. It’s been completely renovated and our room was spotless and comfortable. It’s close to the beach in an excellent location. Staff was friendly and helpful
My wife and I had a wonderful experience at the recent reopening of the completely renovated Ambassador hotel in Nice, FR. This property is located two blocks from the beach
Four of these owned by the same ownership group as the Ambassador, offering two free drinks with a dinner order if you show them your room key. Also just a few blocks away and your are into the historic district of Nice
The shower was large, glass enclosed and the bathroom fixtures were lovely. We were fortunate to interact with the manager, Miss Loan and the front desk mgr. My apologies ladies if I’ve misspelled your names
It is also another 1-2 blocks walking to the main street with the tram as well. I could definitely see coming here again
Room was fine, but the staff let me check-in at 9am! Amazing service.
Close to Tram 1, which drops you at Jean Medicin (tram 2 to airport), Place Massena (going out area and dining), Old Nice (market, close yo going up the mountain, scenic views)
Close yo main shopping street, walking down to the beach takes about 15-20 mins
Really nice affordable hotel in a great location with good nearby restaurants offering halal options. The beach is a 20-minute walk away. Staff were helpful & kind, and the room was clean and well ventilated
Great location. Perfect single room for solo travellers. Walls a paper thin though so you can hear your neighbours - might be an issue for light sleepers.
Close to all amenities. The room that I booked was very good. They gave me a quiet spot that I could sleep away from the street.
Both the female and male staff at the front desk were very nice and friendly.
Breakfast was almost the same every day, with limited choices, but it was fine
Got a cute little room on the top floor. I like small room so everything is within 2 steps reach. If you have a big suitcase, get a bigger room. Nice walk between airport line tram station to the hotel
Everything was great, the staff is really kind and helpful, the room was clean, the breakfast was classic buffet breakfast, but everything was delicious and fresh
perfect location and easy to get public transportation
friendly employees with big smile
Clean hotel 👍🏻
I will book again in this amazing hotel 🌹
The hotel is very good, and the staff of the hotel is also very friendly. We will meet our needs, and it is very close to the railway station.
I had a great experience the night before and decided to extend my stay for another night. Nice room.
Me and my husband LOVED renting the e-bikes, an amazing perk to be able to bike along the coast with e-assist. They did some laundry for us in a very reasonably priced and timely manner
Stayed here for our time in Nice during our honeymoon. Everything was perfect! The room was beautiful and had a great view, breakfast was ample and catered to many national preferences
Hotel team were attentive and efficient. Very comfortable room and delicious breakfast. Thank you to Philipe and team. Note the hotel is at the top of a hill accesible by foot or taxi
All of the staff were FABULOUS, Phillipe in particular was very caring with us when explaining the ins and outs of biking in Nice
The hotel has great views of Nice because it is atop some hills, just beware of that if you’re traveling with the elderly
Great service and friendly staff! Excellent breakfast!
It is very close to the train station and the seaside avenue, and it is convenient to walk to the old town for shopping and dining. There is a supermarket next to the hotel
The two beauties at the front desk have a very good service attitude and helped me a lot. It feels great to stay for 4 consecutive nights. This is the most satisfying stay experience in Nice during this trip!
There's a well stocked, small supermarket next door (not convenience store) with fresh fruits, but you can find bigger supermarkets in a few minutes. There are good bakeries in all directions
There is a nice restaurant that is reasonably priced across the street. The hotel staff is really friendly and accommodating. They made us feel welcome and helped us with a few things
The location was very central to key attractions. The reception was very friendly and we kept our bags to store room after we checked out. The room was tidy and comfortable
We had an apartment on the top floor. It faced the street but we did not hear noise from the street. The kitchen is well equipped and everything worked without an issue
For the price (approx 70-80euros) a night the price/performance ratio was very good. I think the prices go up a lot in peak season which explains some of the other reviews
Perfect!!! Absolutely everything – from its central location in Nice to the optimal comfort, coziness, and amenities, decent breakfasts, and of course, the excellent work and friendliness of the staff! All the positive things mentioned in other reviews about this hotel truly reflect reality
Comfortable room and bed in small hotel well located in the downtown area of Nice. 8 minute walk to the sea and old town area. Easy tram or suburban line access. Nice Ville (main) train station is 12 minute walk away
Great value for money, and the location is very convenient.
A fantastic hotel, close to the old town and all the attractions. Comfortable rooms with beautiful decor. Breakfasts are tasty, with something for everyone. And the staff are always helpful and smiling
We also got a mini bottle of rose wine which was a really nice touch. Location fab, right next to the main shopping area, 10 mins from Vieux Nice/Promenade des Anglais/the beach
The Spanish seafood pasta recommended on Xiaohongshu next to the hotel was super delicious 😋
Very nice 3-star hotel. Rooms are not large but are clean and comfortable. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
The service was excellent, making for a very comfortable trip!
The only downside was that the bathroom didn't even have a shelf, so you had to run up and down to get things while showering… The location and environment were fine, but the breakfast, which was paid for separately, was just so-so
It is within a 10-minute walk from the train station and a 15-20-minute walk from the beach. The beach is worth a visit, and then there are all kinds of food in the old town
The Chinese restaurant is also a good choice, where you can eat local sea bass
Nice, Avenue de la Californie, 58-60 - 06200 🧭 Map
🌞 From seashore 2 min
The location is super, clise to the sea. We walked everyday from the city centre to the hotel along the coast. Very enjoyable
Reasonable price for hotel, good view and relax when walking along the beach side.
I arrived late after 12 and the front desk staff was still available and friendly.
Room and toilet are clean, soap and shampoo available.
Location is also good if you come from airport or need to go to airport.
I absolutely loved my stay here. Don't let the low price fool you. You still get a very clean and modern room. The best part was the lady at reception. She was so welcoming and nice
Just beside Tram station ( L2 &L3). Room is small but with this rate it is totally acceptable. Breakfast is Horrable ( i am sorry but this is really far from normal standard)
Overall is ok , reccomended to stay but you can find your own breakfast
It's a little far from the beach or the center, but it's a 3-minute cut from the train station. It's not very clean, but it's neat and the staff are friendly
The hotel was pretty decent as located very close to Nice train station and a short walk into the centre of town. The staff were pretty friendly and provided us with what we needed (extra bedding, travel cot)
A very comfortable hotel to stay at, with a stable Wi-Fi signal, large, comfortable rooms equipped with everything you need, and daily cleaning. Despite the proximity to the train station, there was no noise
The only issue we had was that there was a bright emergency exit light in our room which could not be switched off and disturbed our sleep otherwise we were pretty happy here
🏨 is just a few mins walk from Nice Gare. Room is small but functional. There is only soup in the toilet. Need to bring your personal commodities when staying in this hotel. Price is resonable in low season .
The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the main streets and the embankment. The room was clean, but a kettle was missing. We stayed with a window facing the street, which can be noisy
There were some minor inconveniences that could have been fixed but we didn't bother. They left one face towel and one bath towel for 2 people! There was hardly any toilet paper on the roll and no other roll
It really is an oasis
This truly is in an oasis. As soon as you walk through the gates, into the courtyard, the city goes away. The cleaning lady was delightful! Most of the desk staff was very good
Great location on a private courtyard. Parking is limited so reservation for parking is needed. 10 minutes walk to the beach and 40 minutes to the marina
We stayed in the renovated section of the hotel. The room was just as nice as any 4/5 star hotel. We didn't use any hotel facilities. Only heard once someone very loud in the hallway
I just think he didn’t want to do check in, his shift ended then. And then when we left, very early at 5am, the desk guy was no where to be found and we were licked in the gate
The property is so quiet and peaceful and clean. It is very accessible to shopping and sight seeing and transport. The staff was very helpful and the room was really clean
The front desk staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always greeting us enthusiastically every time we left and returned!
The hotel is super close to the beach, just a two or three-minute walk away
The rooms were generally clean, and it's very close to the beach, a five-minute walk. When we rented beachwear, they reminded us not to rent anything too complicated
This small hotel, similar to a guesthouse, wasn't listed as having a 24-hour front desk, but after contacting us in advance and knowing we'd arrive in the evening, they still arranged for staff to wait at the front desk for check-in
It’s a decent stay! Amenities one would expect and helpful staff. It’s loud when someone passes by the corridor or opens/closes the room. No soundproofing and sometimes the noise from the streets would be too much.
It's a bit further to walk to other attractions and public transport hubs, but the city itself isn't very big, so walking is perfectly manageable. The room came with a TV, air conditioning, and a balcony
The hotel stay was excellent. The quality for the price point exceeded my expectations. Would highly recommend this hotel during a stay in Nice. The location was ideal too.
I was positively surprised when I arrived at the hotel: not only was is super centrally located but also offered great service and lovely rooms at a fantastic price!
The hotel located is about 3min away from the airport tram stop Jean Medécin, 2min from Place Massena and 4min from the old town
Good place, good people and good room. All perfect! 💖 Thanks 🎉🤩🫂
My room was very clean and offered aircon/heating, fridge, haidryer, tv, kettle & complimentary. The furniture and carpet looked well-maintained and the bed was very comfortable
A very nice and cosy hotel. Love it.
Location is good. Amenities is not available. The design of the toilet is off. My husband who is quite tall. Won’t be able to sit on the toilet properly as the leg room is extremely tight
Really nice hotel in the city center of Nice, walking distance to shopping center and the beach
