“I found this property to be a surprisingly modern and well-located option, especially convenient for airport access and transport links. The focus on soundproofing really stood out as a thoughtful touch, alongside the inclusive breakfast, though I think some attention to consistent climate control would elevate the experience further. Overall, it presents a practical base for exploring Nice and the surrounding area.”

The hotel offered excellent convenience because it was located near transport. It was close to the airport train station and tram stop. Breakfast was included in the room price and there were lots of choices available.

The hotel demanded payment again when i arrived even though i had already paid. It was an absolute disgrace.
