The check-in was very efficient. Alain and all the front desk staff were helpful and welcoming.
We stayed as a family (two adults and two teens) and the room was just the right size. The bed and pullout couch for our teens were comfortable.
A special acknowledgment for Elisa, one of the cleaning staff, who helped us find a way to San Remo when the trains weren’t working well. 😎
The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the beach, to the old city with restaurants and shopping.
We would definitely come back again, and stay at other Happy Jay hotels too!

Would recommend to anyone- we stayed in room 406 with balcony. It was even better and bigger than the pictures. So convenient. Free sparkling water in the lobby. So much space- great value. Sunny balcony. 2 blocks to the beach. Trash trucks do pick up at night so bring your noise machine- but that’s any city. LOVE that they even have the towel warmer rack in the bathroom.

Great location and so close to the beach. The GM who checked me in was one of the nicest humans I have ever met. He was so helpful with any questions and recommendations. I was going to the Monte Carlo Grand Prix and he even gave me ear plugs. He is what made this stay a 5 star.

The Jay Hotel is a relatively small hotel with around 30-35 rooms. It's ideally situated for the beautiful promenade, as well as Nice's many bars and restaurants. The hotel manager is friendly and helpful. For us, the areas where it could do better are: size of the rooms and storage space - if you ignore the kitchenette, we had one wardrobe, no drawers - not really enough for a 4 night stay; configuration of the bathroom - eg, the position of our lavatory made usage rather challenging (be advised if you are over 6 feet/180 cm tall); finally, breakfast was typically chaotic as the room just isn't big enough to accommodate the numbers (hence chairs being moved around, and even brought in from reception).
If the Jay Hotel could make a few tweaks to make it feel less cramped, it would be a great hotel.

Stayed here for 5 nights whilst visiting my son. Room was excellent with a small cooking area (two ring hob, microwave, fridge and coffee machine - coffee pods topped up every day). Very comfy bed. Location is excellent, about 5 minutes walk from the nearest tram stop, around 10 minutes to the city centre and 5 minutes to the sea front. Staff extremely helpful and welcoming. Will definitely stay here again.

This is the second year consecutively staying for a whole week at this excellent Jay Hotel.

Due to the great management especially Mrs. Liliana and her staff which really spoiled us we had a wonderful vacation and a great stay in Nice for the second time.

We consider Jay Hotel as our Home in Nice from now.

We hope to return back as soon.

This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way! The location is perfectly walkable, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the lounge offers free coffee all day. Rooms are spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, complete with a kitchenette (microwave, fridge, kettle, stovetop, and espresso machine). I loved all the design touches throughout the space.

My only suggestion would be to add safety handles/bars in the shower/tub area to make it easier and safer to step out.

Highly recommend hotel Jay. Staff were very friendly, updated amenities, location was perfect, close to the beach, not too close to noise. Do not expect a kitchen, only enough to heat food in the microwave, and make a sandwich. Otherwise included breakfast was good, and lobby espresso machine was a treat.

My stay was good and I stayed for six nights. What amazed me was that on Expedia said it is a 4 star hotel. This Jay hotel by Happy Culture is far from 4 star hotel. It is definitely a 3 star hotel. The location was very convenient, but surrounding area was dirty with big trash cans outside the hotel plus homeless being around and at nights get noisy. The staff were very nice but the manager was very unpleasant. The first morning I was there I had breakfast and that was nothing special for the price tag. The second day on I asked if I can get juts a croissant since I have to take my medication in the morning not with empty stomach. She said okay but she was policing me like I ma going to steal the entire place with her looks. I also asked her about an address and instead of explaining the route to some one who is going to stay for six nights as opposed to others stay for 2 or nights, she responded with a cold tone to the sea. that is all! Over all was okay but again it is absolutely a star hotel and not a friendly manager. I will not choose this hotel for the next time in Nice.

I could not find fault in the property. It is centrally located and customer service was excellent and this will set them apart from the rest. The moment we checked-in we were taken care of right away by Liliana even if we arrived early for our check-in. We stayed for seven nights.

Allan at the reception (night shift) was the best - he made us feel like we are friends and every time we walk back in the hotel, he would ask how we were, what do we need and always calls us \"TEAM BALTAZAR\". We were touched when he mentioned that he cannot see us during our last few days as he will be off. We were a bit sad as we were looking forward to our short chit chats with him.

If we go back to NICE - we will definitely stay here again. Location is perfect, the amenities were very good and staff were the best.

Decent hotel in a great location

Great location, friendly staff. Decent room, bathroom was really big. Well eqipped kitchette.
The road its on was fairly busy during our stay so if your a light sleeper id suggest asking for a room that doesn’t face the road. Our aircon didnt seem to work that well , the room was fairly got most of the time despite setting the thermosat to a low temp,as we visited in winter this wasnt a huge issue though and we didnt report it.

There is a grocery store a block down, a pharmacy across the street, easy walk to the train station, and although the wallpaper is a bit odd, the room is nice and clean. I would add another trash can in the main area and give Americans a way to work through the television process, but otherwise it was perfect!

Loved the service and staff at the hotel. Would highly recommend this location given how close it is to the water and every other location however, I will say that the hotel is a bit dated Based on the photos that I received about the location. I love that each room was set up with a refrigerator and microwave as well as like a hot plate. Pretty spacious room. The guy who sits at the front was extremely welcoming and appreciated his warm, greetings every day that we left and came to the hotel. Coffee/hot chocolate machine that we had access to 24 hours a day. The buffet could be better and often that was hosting the buffet, always irritated so those things I would think need to improve, but otherwise overall great experience

The reception staff were very helpful with suggestions of where to visit or restaurants, this helped make the best use of the time we stayed as the recommendations were very good. We will definitely be back in the autumn as this is a great place to stay, 5 minutes from the tram station and a stroll to the promenade. Thank you to all at the Jay.

Pros: Excellent, friendly staff that were eager to attend to guest needs during the stay. If anything makes the stay here, it's the people. Linens always immaculately clean and crisp.

Cons: No idea how the property received a 4 star rating, condition of the property and amenities offered are certainly not at this level. Reception area felt cluttered. Bathrooms dated and sub-optimally designed (water goes everywhere when you take a shower). Overall the property feels dated and gives fancy motel/hostel vibes.

We stayed for 2 nights. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Nice touches, like a handwritten welcome note and free water refills.

We had a room for 3 without balcony on top floor. It was beautifully decorated, true to photographs. It felt slightly small for 3 and I would probably chose the balcony room next time. It was very good value for money however.

Sofa-bed was unfortunately very uncomfortable, the mattress was dipped in several places. Bathroom ok, shower difficult to get right as taps were separate.

The room was situated at the rear of the building, which was lovely and quiet at night. The location of the hotel was great - about 1 block back from Rue De France which made everything walkable.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely consider staying again. Lovely hotel and fantastic staff.

I stayed for 7 nights including a weekend and it was extremely noisy during the weekend. If you are not going to be out partying till 3AM, this is not the right place. If you like to stay up late then this might be a good place as the strip nearby has a lot of restaurants that opens till late. Grocery is located half a block away and the beach is so close. There was one day we didnt ask for a room service and as I switched the light up in the middle of the night, a huge waterbug went across the room. Waterbug looks like a cockroach, just bigger.
Another day, I closed the bathroom door a bit hard and the utility door behind the toilet came down crashing into the toilet and breaking it. I was happy no one was sitting on that toilet as that could have been a bad slam on the head.
At least the mechanic came to fix the toilet right away.
I liked the free pastries they sometimes put out infront of the water cooler in the lobby. Other than the noise on the weekend, a random bug, and some odd toilet incident, this place is very decent. No other problems besides those.

Greatest place to stay in Nice

The Jay is absolute perfection. From the moment we walked thru the doors of this charming boutique hotel we felt so welcome. Lilliana was there to greet us with a huge smile and gave us so much good advice about the city and restaurants and everything we needed to know. All of the staff (every single person including the housekeepers) were beyond friendly. They all greeted kindly whenever we saw them. Alain, Eliza and Gael were so helpful and never minded taking the time to chat. And were there for anything we needed. The room was spotless. The beds were comfortable. It was very nice to have refillable water containers provided for the room. Each room had a little kitchenette if you needed to make food in the room. They had both elevator and stairs. Also a lovely breakfast area where you could sit and enjoy a drink in the evening if you wanted. Great location. About an 8 minute stroll to the Alsace-Lorraine train station from the airport which only cost €1.50. Once in Nice you can take the train or buses to all of the nearby towns. The hotel staff can provide all the details. We will definitely be back to The Jay.

The staff were fantastic, especially Amir (I believe was his name) on reception.... They were all super friendly, always had a smile on their face and a \"bonjour/ bon soir\" to greet you through the door.
The rooms were fantastic, super clean with great little kitchens etc.
The location was perfect, just a 5 minute walk to the Promenade/ beaches etc and had a Carrefour shop 2 minutes away that stocked everything you could need....

Truly fantastic stay four our first trip to Nice/ Monaco and I really couldn't recommend the Jay Hotel highly enough!! - we will almost certainly be back again! - Thank you
