Very nice hotel, centrally located. Clean and with a very nice Hammam steam sauna, massage chair and a shower with lights and sound effects. Recommended to try this relax area. Only dissapointment was the internet connection that was slow and seriously needs an upgrade.

Lovely hotel that sits in the center of Nice. Walkable to the shopping district and tons of restaurants and it’s easy access to tram and train as well. The bed is comfy (really helped us with he jet lag) and the front desk staff are super very friendly and helpful.
