Loved my stay here.

Close to transit centre.
Next to Parc Phoenix.
Great bread for breakfast.

Housekeeper checked on me every day if I needed anything. This is unheard of at higher end hotels. Wished I'd seen the lady the day before I left, to show my gratitude.

I really loved this stay!

Thanks for all you do.

The air conditioning did not work well at all. Had a front desk employee come up to the room to check on it. He pushed buttons and said the air was now coming out and it would cool down but it only got about 1 degree cooler. The internet did not work in my room either. Upon checkout I did have a helpful employee who directed me to the tram to the airport

La station de train qui nous amène vers Canne ou jusqu'à Menton, se trouve juste à côté de l'hôtel. Le personnel a été d'une grande gentillesse et la possibilité de laisser nos bagages sur place lors de notre arrivée tôt était tout à fait génial. La chambre était immaculée et le petit déjeuner était excellent et disponible dès 6h30.

I had a mixed experience during my recent stay. On the positive side, the staff provided excellent customer service, they were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to assist me. The room was spotless, the soundproofing was fantastic, and the hotel’s location is unbeatable; being so close to the station, airport, and tram made travel very easy. Uber Eats also found the location without any issues.

However, I encountered a significant issue in room 809. There was a strong drainage odor coming from the bathroom that persisted throughout my stay. While the reception team was helpful in providing cleaning supplies, and the cleaning staff did their best to resolve it, the smell remained an issue, making it difficult to spend time in the room or eat there. Additionally, the bathroom design caused water to flood the floor during showers, requiring extra towels. Regarding dining, as a vegetarian who doesn't eat eggs, the hot food options were very limited. While the staff kindly coordinated with the chef to provide daily potatoes, tomatoes, and mushrooms, more variety would be appreciated. Despite these challenges, I would recommend this hotel for its convenience and service, provided the plumbing issue is addressed.

Everything was fine, and the staff was super helpful, however the reason people stay at a hotel next to the airport is for absolute convenience. This hotel did not offer a shuttle service to the airport and the breakfast is available much too late for those with early flights. So we had to order a taxi service and he was late, and we had no use for the breakfast service which was included. The restaurant was ok but I’ve had better at such locations. I will not be using this hotel again in the future.

I have stayed in hundreds of hotels through Hotels.com and other portals but I have never stayed in one where the staff were so bad . For example when we arrived we asked the receptionist for fo access to and from the airport for returning a hire car that evening and going to the airport the following morning . She said take a taxi . When in fact we later discovered through our own endeavours that the hotel had been deliberately located near a tram station which connected with car hire returns and the Terminals free of charge . This morning breakfast was utter chaos. We asked for a cereal spoon as they were all used and we were told to use a teaspoon . Absolutely no attempt was made to obtain a cereal spoon . The most senior looking person the reception manager said it was not her department ! Ultimately it must be the General Manager’s fault in poor recruitment or lack of training . Unbelievable .

Don’t be fooled.

It took over 35 mins to check in, could I get a glass of water or a bottle - nope. A vending machine outside was suggested.

Only bonus - comfy bed.

Breakfast - no wonder it’s free (but in theory it’s not, because the room isn’t that cheap for what it is) . I’ve stayed in numerous holiday inns but the breakfast here was maybe the worst ever. Truly bad. There were two items that were warm - a scrambled egg which wasn’t scrambled but congealed. And a sausage which needed to be cooked - it was raw, an actually full pot of uncooked sausages.

But the lack of water is odd to me.
It’s put me off ever staying at a holiday inn again, I have stayed at numerous hotels near nice airport - this was the worst. I gave it a chance & it failed miserably.

We had a great stay here, after jet 2 delayed our flight by over 2 hours we arrived here later than planned, we were tired and hungry and was greeted by a friendly smiling lady , despite us knowing a little bit of French she was happy to speak to us in English, she explained about the room and the breakfast (that was included in the room price) and when we asked if there was any where to eat close she told us about the restaurant round the corner and gave us a 15%off card to use there. We went to our room on the 4th floor it was clean and bigger than we had expected the bathroom had a lovely big shower with toiletries, behind a mirror in the main room was an iron and board and a hair dryer, the room has enough plugs and usb sockets. The tv as you would expect is French except for the bbc but you can chrome cast, not that we did as we were not there to sit in the room.
The breakfast has a good selection of meats cheeses various breads, including the ability to have toast there was scrambled egg and sausage (but for a charge you could have poached eggs or an omelette ) and yogurt fruit salad jams choc spreads cereals, fruit juices, coffees and teas. pain au chocolates and croissants.The only thing I would say is if you do have an allergy it could be an issue as there was no segregation of dairy and nuts
There is air con in the room but you are limited to the temperature you can choose it is set by the hotel for eco reasons, there is an opening window ours had no handle

This is the 6th time we've stayed in a hotel arriving/departing NCE: it's one of the best options!
First: it's an easy 10 minute walk from inside the terminal to their front door in a virtual straight line.
It's right by the Tram lines that bring you to/take you from the airport.
With all that said, they really do everything right: arriving at 10 pm from abroad, the staff were really welcoming (shout out to the lovely young Canadian woman on duty 3/18/26!) got us our room quickly, and explained everything all in one go.
The room: GREAT bed & bedding. Very comfortable. Our 4th floor rom overlooked the street but windows were totally sound proof.
WC was roomy, shower a good size and good pressure.
Breakfast buffet had enough for any taste. Especially liked the fresh veg & fruit options.
This will def be a first choice anytime we need a hotel near NCE!

But above all, what truly made our stay special was the wonderful staff. A special shout-out to Aurora at reception — she is an absolute gem! She went above and beyond for us throughout our stay, always ready to help with a smile. When our tour operator didn’t turn up, she took the time to assist us, helped plan alternatives, and made sure we were okay at every step. Her kindness and professionalism made our trip so much more enjoyable.

I asked for ice one night, they asked me if i had a bucket to out it in, which was quite weird. Considering there no refrigerator. On the paper they gave me, it said ihg award members get late check out. I asked if i could get a 12:45pm check out, just to charge my phone, they said everyone had to he out by or before 12pm, despite what the paper said.
