Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Cresp is often described as a hidden gem thanks to its fantastic location, steps away from the beach and the Promenade des Anglais, with Nice's famous flower market, Cours Saleya, just down the street. Many guests appreciate the convenience of having a mini kitchenette in their immaculate rooms, and especially enjoy the hotel's amazing terrace with sea views. While some guests have noted that the building entry looks a bit worn, the rooms are modern and very clean, and some even offer direct access to the communal terrace.
