Stayed one night on two occasions at the beginning and end of our holiday. Close to the airport and free shuttle is quick and reliable. Hotel room basic but clean and adequate for a nights stay. All staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant food very good and reasonably priced. Breakfast expensive for what it what is offered. Would definitely recommend for proximity to Nice airport.
I am currently staying a that the Holiday Inn Nice in order to make an early flight tomorrow. I chose this location for one night only for the convenience to the airport. However, as a self-proclaimed 4-star resort, I am very, very disappointed. I arrived at 1430 (check in is at 1500) and was told my room was not ready. Fine, I am early. I am happy to wait for 30 minutes. The front desk agent told me he would call me when it’s ready if I wanted to enjoy the area. I agreed. However, at 1600, no call so I decided to walk back. As I enter I see the agent leaving the hotel in street clothes—no call. I asked the new agent about my room and he had no idea he was to call me. He called housekeeping to verify if my room was ready and again, STILL not ready! I was asked to wait in the lobby until it was ready. If check in is at 1500, the room should be ready at 1500. I received no apology for their error. I reserved a Premium Queen Seaview at a cost of 400 Euros/night. The room is frankly gross. There are long hairs in the shower (I’m bald—not me!), mold growing around the tub, stains on the walls, and stains on the furnishings. I wish I could find a more profound way of describing the hotel other than gross, but I cannot. See my attached photos of the actual room. The lobby is deceiving. You walk into a remodeled, modern space and think , “nice, this will be a good stay.” But beware, as soon as you enter your room, it all goes downhill. Not only is the room gross, but there is not a coffee maker in the room, the shower products are empty, and they do not provide any lotion. Additionally for a 4-star resort, I would expect something more than paper cups in the room (glass cups and a wine opener, perhaps?). The hotel markets having a free airport shuttle. However, the shuttle does not run convenient to flight departures, so I have to pay 40 euros for a 4 minute ride to the airport. Again, disappointing. Lastly, the hotel provides free access to the Bay Star Beach Club (owned by the hotel it seems). I was excited to check out the beach on my last night in France. However, the beach club is very small with extremely dated (and dirty) furniture. Smoking was supposedly not allowed, but guests were smoking everywhere and staff did not interject. The provided towels have holes and are stained. It was very unpleasant. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel is ANYONE! There are many more hotels by the airport at 50% less cost. Avoid at all costs!
We stayed at The Heliotel Marine for the month of October in an apartment that was quite spacious, and is ideal for families as there were bunk beds in the alcove, plus two sofa beds plus our double bedroom. Our unit did need updating, but we saw many on our floor were being painted. Valentina, Sandra and Nicolas at the front desk were quite helpful, even with the language difference. Wifi was sporadic in the room, but great outside in the hallway. Our favourite part of the unit was the awesome balcony which had an awning for sun or rain, and we enjoyed daily. When we left the parking area, the sea was just across the street as well the tourist information centre. The laundry facilities were updated with new machines, the newer elevators worked flawlessly, and the grounds held many trees and flowing plants to enjoy. Great stay!
Modern, stylish, clean and friendly. I had to book a hotel last minute at around 10pm when our flight was cancelled at the very last minute. It was an easy, short walk from Terminal 1 (Note: Apple Maps wanted to take me on a longer route to the hotel. I’d say follow your nose and the tram line that goes under the road!)
