A great hotel, well situated ( nr the tram station ascal Lorraine) so an easy , cheap @ 10 euros return & quick transfer from airport.
The staff are all polite & helpful & work hard esp the maids.
Big thanks to Faruque for listening & sorting our room out.
The hotel has a nice outdoor small area which was pleasant to sit out listening to the birds sing.
Rooms are very spacious & clean, best 3* we have stayed at in Nice, most are v v small.
The large airy lounge was comfortable to read & rest in.
We never used the bar( v v small) or had breakfast there- lots of patisseries near by.
Air con was great, needed at 30 degrees most days.
We are definatly returning & re booking with Hotel Busby next May 27’ .
Many thanks.

I was rather disappointed with this hotel. My AC didn’t work properly. I was sweating in my room. The hotel doesn’t have any ice! There is no fridge in the room so not being able to get ice was very annoying. The room was super small. The window had no screen on it so you could not open the window for fresh air without bugs flying in. I had to have maintenance come and fix a ceiling tile that was out of place. That should have been caught when they cleaned the room.

Great spot during my stay in Nice as a young female soul traveler. Rooms are a bit outdated, and I wish the air conditioning worked better especially given that I was there during a historic heat wave. But other than that, the room absolutely did the job. It was very spacious and the entire property as a whole was very clean and safe as well.

This hotel is ideally situated 10min from the beach,less to the restaurants and a 20min walk from the train station.
The staff gave excellent advice for all our concerns and quick to meet our needs.
Example. Unlocking the safe when we put in the wrong numbers.
We highly recommend staying there.

Excellent location to train station, beach, and food. About 15min walk to Old Nice. Very clean room and all the staff was helpful. My French is not the best and the cleaners were ok using google translate and me pointing to things. There were chargers at each bedside for the four of us, which the teenagers loved. We also had a fridge, which I did not know about. That was very nice to have. The water pressure was great and the small tub. The bathroom was so much better than other hotels that use glass doors now. This one had an actual door. Lots of closet space too. Great stay all around and if we come to Nice again we will stay here.

Location is excellent. Hotel is about equidistant from the Promenade des Anglais and the Nice-Ville train station. Hotel is older and basic but very clean. The room (#132) was a nice size with two twin beds. The front desk staff is lovely and very helpful. The only downside was that our room (#132) was on the first floor on the street side of the building, and there is A LOT of street noise during the night, especially on weekends. Ear plugs helped tremendously. I would stay again but request a room on a higher floor.

This hotel is located in an old building with plenty of character, although it could use some updates. They include a convenient mini fridge in the room. I felt safe in the area, even though it was a bit farther from the train station than I expected, which actually makes it closer to the historic center and the beach. It’s also very close to Rue Masséna and all of its restaurants.

This place really needs to be updated. The hotel is very old and weathered. For the price, I feel like it would benefit by being updated. We left really early in the morning fore check out and we couldn't figure out how to get out of the hotel. We were looking around and the front staff was sleeping in another part of the lobby in the dark room so we didn't see him. Then he said, well you should have called out for me. But we were talking at normal volume and he was not too far but didn't hear us. So he blamed him sleeping on us not looking harder for him or yelling out to him. That was not a good experience. Overall, would not stay again.

I had a really nice stay at Hotel Busby. The location is excellent — about a 7–10 minute walk to the Promenade and the beach, and roughly 10–15 minutes to the train station, which made getting around very easy.

The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff was friendly and very helpful throughout my stay. They offer breakfast for purchase (I didn’t try it), and there are some great added amenities including a small gym, a cozy sitting area with games and books (even toys for little ones), and a terrace out back that’s perfect for relaxing.

My only minor complaint would be that the bed was a bit firm and the pillows were a little flat for my preference — but overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would absolutely return, especially for the location and welcoming atmosphere.

The hotel and my room were very clean, the staff very friendly and helpful, and I enjoyed the atmosphere of a classy old building that has been maintained as such, not overly modernized, but refreshed with simple good taste, a sort of quiet unpretentious dignity comme il faut (as it should be). The location is great, near the Promenade Anglaise, but set back in a nice neighborhood with tons of restaurants, cafes and shops.

Worst expedia experience and worst hotel I have ever stayed at and I've travelled to every continent.

The staff aren't helpful and they are liars. From google reviews you can see there are ants everywhere in the hotel and I was unfortunately bitten. I talked to the staff and they wouldn't help me and told me that's how all hotels are in Nice. But also said they weren't ant bites, they had to be mosquito bites. She didn't even look at my face, she had the answer ready to go because this is clearly a regular issue they face.

There is no official legal policy stating there cannot be food in the rooms and they are using that as justification to deny a refund. But according to France's civil law THIS IS ILLEGAL.

STAY AWAY BY ALL MEANS.

Expedia customer service also refuses to provide any assistance. They clearly do not care about their customer.

Better to use expedia's competitors because expedia is equally terrible.

We traveled as a three-generation family, and we felt a family-friendly vibe at this hotel. In addition, the staff was polite, smiling and helpful. Breakfast offered a very satisfying variety. Our one challenge was the thermostat: We couldn't adjust it and so had to sleep with the windows open to be cool enough, which allowed mosquitoes to enter. (This was in October.)
