“For a modest price in central Nice, this place hits the mark; you're close to the beach and attractions, and can enjoy a continental breakfast on the terrace. While some rooms show their age, the renovated bathrooms are a welcome update, and the staff seems genuinely invested in your stay. If you value location and service over ultra-modern style, it's a solid choice.”
