Hôtel de France, un hôtel AMMI

There are three things that make The Hôtel de France stand out from the sizeable competition: the wonderful staff, the comfortable rooms and the location just moments from The Negresco and the Promenade des Anglais. Nothing is too much at this hotel and it's so welcoming and homely from the moment you arrive. Small touches like the free coffee, drinks and pastries in the lobby/ breakfast room to the 'Honesty Bar' are delightful. We stayed in two rooms - one on the first floor with a balcony and on the third floor without. Both were superbly presented with a kettle, coffee machine, fridge, more towels than we could ever use and pillows aplenty. Superb. Breakfast is a fair and decent spread too - deliciously fluffy scrambled eggs, sausages, yoghurts, fruits, pastries, etc. More than fair value. It's important to bear in mind that this is a three star hotel, so you will not be getting a Negresco experience. But for one tenth of the price and the same location, I've never seen the point in paying for facilties I never use and almost always prefer to skip hotel restaurants and enjoy authentic local cuisine. Unless you need a spa, concierge, bellboy, swimming pool and myriad other facilities, the Hôtel de France has it all. It's also within a few minutes walking distance of a superb Carrefour City supermarket and every other shop and service you could possibly want. The train station is a 10 minute walk and local buses and trams are also nearby. What more could one possibly want from a stay in magnificent Nice!

Hotel de France is a warm, welcoming place to stay that’s conveniently located close to the Old Town, great restaurants and shops. The management and staff are friendly, knowledgeable and quick to respond to needs. The breakfast room and courtyard were inviting and cheerful. Lots of good options for a full breakfast. Our beds were comfortable and the shower provided good water pressure and temperatures. Great location! We used taxis only from the train station and to the airport. Otherwise, we walked everywhere! Would highly recommend!

The staff is very kind and accommodating. The location is excellent. The breakfast is plentiful. The room was very quiet and clean. This is an old building, but has had a number of updates made to the lighting, plumbing fixtures, air conditioning, insulated windows, etc.

We really liked the location and the attentiveness of the staff. The hotel was in walking distance of everywhere we wanted/ needed to go. The room was beautiful.

The staff was exceptional, and we even met the owner which seems to be a rarity these days. Such a great surprise to meet him! He takes great pride in the hotel and it shows. They followed up with us before our arrival to ensure everything was in place that we requested. The front desk, Anaïs, is a pro. It's a breath of fresh air to be treated so personally and not just another "number!" Rooms are pleasant, comfortable, and have everything you need. It was our first time in Nice and the location was in proximity to a lot of cool restaurants and the beach. All in all a great value for the price, and we felt right at home. Merci à tout le monde à l'hôtel - nous reviendrons !
