Positives:friendly reception and catering staff. Breakfast was excellent and delicious 😋. Location was excellent. Room cleaned every day. Lovely terrace. Hot and cold drinks available all day on ground floor.Great night's sleep.
Negatives; on 2 separate occasions we came back at the end of the day to find our room door left open. Tiniest lift which barely fits 2 people. Tea tray never refilled. 2 single beds pushed together meant 1 of us kept getting trapped in the middle.Room smelled of smoke despite being a non smoking hotel.

Some of the rooms were a little tired decor wise, but they were clean and more than adequate for our weekend break. Situated close to a tram stop, so easy access to airport & Old Nice town. 5 minute walk to Promenade des Anglais. We had a lovely stay, and would definitely use this hotel again

We have stayed at this hotel four times, and until now we have always enjoyed our visits.
For the price, the hotel has consistently offered great value the breakfast is excellent, and the location is fantastic. Unfortunately, our most recent stay was extremely disappointing.

When we booked in advance, nowhere on the website, the app, or in any direct communication were we informed that major renovation work was taking place. Upon arrival, we discovered that the entire 1st and 2nd floors were under construction. Builders were drilling and hammering for 12 hours straight, from 8am to 8pm every day, making it impossible to rest. It even seemed like some of the workers were staying in the hotel for convenience.

While we understand that December is the off-season and renovations are sometimes necessary, guests must be notified in advance. If we had known about the construction, we would certainly have booked elsewhere especially since we were only staying for two nights. Unfortunately, this stay left us absolutely exhausted.

We hope the hotel improves its communication in the future, because we have enjoyed staying here before and would happily return once the renovation work is completed. However, at the moment, there is no way to know when that will be.

Hi, we stayed at the hotel for 5 nights.
We found the hotel in an ideal setting for both transfers to and from the airport and conveniently situated for walking to the promenade, restaurants, bus, tram and train.
Staff were pleasant and extremely helpful in terms of offering valuable advice as regards open top bus tour, directions to get to train station.
The breakfast area was very nice too in a clean and well-furnished large room.
Breakfast didn’t disappoint either as have all Expedia booked hotels so far. Very good range of cooked/hot and continental style breakfast.
Only down side was that our room didn’t have an air extractor in the toilet. This wouldn’t stop us coming back though but I would advise that this be fitted.
Room had great air conditioner too which is a must in Nice.
For a 3 star hotel, we thought it offered great value and ticked a lot of boxes.

Good stay at Locarno Hotel

Good stay at Locarno! Service is top notch from front desk to breakfast staff. Rooms are clean and decent size and we benefitted with a small balcony. Location is good close to Promenade Anglais, and convenient to trams/buses. Breakfast had quite a few options. Only cons… towels could use replacing with fluffier new towels. Shower door leaked so always some water on floor after shower. No Kleenex in room and toilet paper not the softest. Everything else was great and I recommend this hotel.

The staff were very helpful and the hotel was close to the promenade. The hotel itself was decent, the terrace was great BUT the Wi-Fi at this place is absolutely atrocious. It barely works. Kicks you off frequently and was not usable. In 2025, this should not be the case anywhere.

So if you want to stay and have no use for Wi-Fi, then it's a great place to stay at. For me, no functioning Wi-Fi is a deal breaker.

Hotel Locarno is a perfect spot to enjoy Nice. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is so great. You are less than two blocks from the Promenade and the ocean. The rooms are clean with beautiful balconies. The staff is so pleasant and highly fluent in English. The breakfast was amazing with a wide variety of delicious pastries, meats, coffees, fresh squeezed juices as well as hot items like eggs and pancakes. Parking is tricky so plan ahead. There is a parking deck about 6 blocks away -- Park Palmieri -- that is a good option.

The location of the hotel is very good. Close to the beach and to the tram to the airport. 20 min walk to the train station.
The staff is very friendly.
The room is clean, but a bit noisy. The walls are thin and we could here our neighbors sneeze. As an improvement, a mosquito net would be good :)
The lobby area is very nice decorated.
Breakfast good and can be eaten on the terrace on 1st floor.
We really appreciated that we could take beach umbrellas for free every day we went to the beach. And there is also a shower on the ground floor, very clean and just what you need on your last day of vacation, after checking out and spending your day at the beach :)

Excellent location, book early for larger rooms

This hotel offered exactly the location I was seeking, only minutes from the beach and the Promenade des Anglais. We arrived from the airport on the L2 Tram and it’s only a few blocks walk from the stop for the Centre Universitaire Méditerranéen. There is an ample terrace on the 1st floor with a few lounge chairs and tables, which made for a very pleasant spot to decompress after a busy day, or a great morning spot for planning the day’s excursions. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and our small room was impeccably clean, although the carpet was a bit past its prime.

My preference had been a room with a balcony, but none were available online so I booked the Classic Double room, following up with an email requesting the upgraded room but was told the hotel was full. Upon checking in, I asked about balcony availability and was offered a larger room for an additional fee, but it since it still would not have had a balcony, I opted to stay with my original room.

Room 111 was small but manageable for 2 adults, but the shower pan was a miniscule 2 ft square (.6 meters) with sliding doors that required contortions to get in and out, so I can’t give it top marks because of that. Our room had a large window looking out onto the side street, we did not hear any city noise, and the A/C worked well. There was a small fridge, which was convenient for taking beverages and pizza (from across the street) to have a relaxing dinner on the pebbled beach, sitting among local families.

Overnight stay in Nice

My stay was very good. Both the staff on reception and breakfast service was friendly and helpful. My room was clean and the bathroom was newly refurbished.
However the decor is dated and there was a stale smell, possibly from the ancient carpet, when I first walked in. The room was also small and angular, with a corner of the bed near the wall, making it awkward to move about.
I understand the hotel is being refurbished so I am looking forward to stay there again when I next visit Nice.

Nice staff, good location, narrow food menu

First of all, when I came to the hotel they gave me incorrect room (which I saw in the pictures). It was very old with small windows. I asked them to change it and got the good one (from the pictures).
There was no fridge or mini bar in the room, they also do not have any alcohol drinks or beverages in the hotel. There is just a ending machine where you can put money and get some sweets.
Location is very good, close to the beach and metro or bus stations, about 15 min by foot from main train station. Breakfast menu quite narrow, the hotel does not have anything for people who do not tolerate lactose. They do not have eggs or bacon for breakfast (mainly croissants, fruit, yoghurt, am, cereals with milk. he staff was very nice.

My issue was that the first 3 days I was there the AC was broken and being replaced. And by replaced I mean a 100 foot crane and 8 people tearing the old giant unit off the roof ((just outside my room). But with the new AC unit ... all was perfect.

Reasonable price, basic facilities

This hotel is extremely reasonably priced for Nice especially as it is only a three minute walk from Promenade des Anglais.

Rooms are fairly basic, with ensuite facilities although the décor is probably mid 70s and could definitely do with updating. We had room 46 which was on 4th floor with a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs, and the sea was visible from this and it had sun on the balcony from early morning until presumably around lunchtime. In our room everything was clean, bed was comfortable and there was plenty of storage for clothes etc. Wifi was free and accessible although the system for inputting a code was fiddly and annoying as it only lasted two days. Breakfast was available at 8 euros, fairly standard continental style, but there were plenty of options outside the hotel along the promenade if you wished.

We stayed five nights for about £240 which considering we were almost right on the beach about ten/fifteen minutes walk from the old town was pretty good value. If you want a cheap, clean hotel and won't be in it much, this is the place to go, but if you prefer a touch of luxury, go to the Negresco or one of the other top notch hotels in the area. But value for money this would be hard to beat.

Excellent Location

Stayed 3 nights as a couple. Room was well-furnished, bed comfortable, shower strong, powerful and hot. Bathroom rather outdated in design, but being a budget hotel it more than met my expectations, and we spent a lot more time out of the room than in. Had to leave keys at front desk whenever leaving the building, but we had no security complaints.

There's a Lidl close by for essential shopping, and lots of places nearby to eat. Best of all, you're a stone's throw from the beach and a simple 7-10 minute bus ride from the airport, central Nice, and lots of local attractions. Apart from the airport which we took a bus to, we walked everywhere and really enjoyed it.

Free Wifi. I like the original built in Wardrobe/Armoire with a large mirror door that actually led into the room next door... Location is great - just at the edge of the Nice central area, 5 minutes walk from Promenade des Anglais.

Only 1 member of staff was particularly helpful and friendly.
Was told to hand my key in every time I went out. Glad I kept my key (which weighed a ton) with me as when I came back at 9:30 one evening, all the keys were just laid out for anyone to take.
Bed was clean; a MUST! Shower curtain too short for shower so flooded nearly every time. Disgusting stuff in sink when I got there so left taps running until it went
Train to Monaco - 20 minutes and $7:60 return

The hotel was conveniently on the a main bus route from the airport and in a good location to connect to both sea front, city centre and bus routes that ran into the night. We only ate at the hotel once for breakfast but it was satisfactory for a continental breakfast. We would recommend any of the local patisseries for genuine country cuisine. The staff were always really lovely and helpful. And helped us with finding many wonderful places to visit. Including a few visits on the train to Cannes monaco and Italy where we experienced local markets and some truly exquisite chapels. There was only one receptionist who was particularly unwarming but on the afternoons she was on we saved our questions til the morning. Overall we had a truly lovely time in nice and staying at the hotel. The only thing that let it down, was on our last night while packing a cockroach ran over my boyfriends foot, he managed to catch it and we complained at reception but there were no free rooms so had to stay our last night feeling a little uncomfortable knowing what we'd just found. When we went down in the morning the receptionist was extremely apologetic, and explained their fumigating policies as well as wrote off our city tax and other expenses as we couldn't stay on for a free breakfast to make up for the situation.

Quick getaway to Nice

Hotel was ok. Room size was fine and location is within two blocks of beach. Parking situation is very difficult, they let you park under their building but need to leave keys because you will get parked in. Staff did nothing more than the absolute minimum.

Locarno stay

The staff was friendly, the hotel is convenient to the beach and transportation; 2 blocks and 1 block away respectively. The room rate was outstanding. The hotel room needs some updating, but it was clean. Giuseppe and Marco were extremely helpful.

Nice hotel ....

Very easy to find.From Nice airport,take bus 98 (6€) to Grosso stop.3 min walk and you're arrived.Breakfeast available for 8€.Be careful there is living tax to pay at the end of your stay (1€ per day and per person I stayed 3 night with my partner so I had to pay 6€ at the end of my stay).Everytime the hotel, you have to leave the room key.
We didn't want to take buses so we walked all the time and everythig is quite accessible by walk.
\"La promenade des Anglais\"(3 min walk), train station (20 min walk),old city of Nice (20 min walk), \"Nice etoile\" shopping center (20 min walk).The weather was so nice when we left the hotel at the end of our stay that we decide to walk to airport.It took us 45 min to arrive at the airport by following the sea on \"La promenade des Anglais\".In 30 min you can be in Monaco by train (7.60€ go&return per person).

Do. Not.Stay. Here.

Terrible hotel. It claims to be a 3-stars hotel but I'd give it one star at best. Everything is old and outdated, the carpet doesn't look very clean - I wore flip flops in my room. The bathroom is ridiculously outdated. The whole place needs an upgrade desperately.

Fairly far from central train station but perfect for beach location. 24 hr service good.

Great location, but needs help

We stayed in this hotel for only two nights. Everything was walking distance and the bus stop was just outside.

The problem we had was the night shift attendant was not a very nice person. He wasn't rude but he seemed to talk down to you. The staff in the morning and afternoon were very cheery and nice and if it wasn't for this one bad apple, I would've given this hotel a better score.

The room itself was of decent size. It was a lot better than what we stayed in in Rome and Paris. The bathroom was very spacious.

Overall, the location was the biggest attraction for us. Only a few blocks away from the beach and everything was walking distance.
