Our stay at this hotel was fantastic. The staff were amazing and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to ensure all our needs were met. The location is perfect, just one street behind the main promenade. Breakfast was lovely and was a refreshing change from the overcrowded queues you can experience at bigger hotel chains. The honesty bar was a nice touch and there is a lovely terrace to relax on with your chosen drink/snack. On the whole a fantastic boutique hotel experience. We also loved Nice, Monaco and Eze and will definitely return.

My only comment would be the size of the small double room. It was small and a bit cramped. If returning I would upgrade to a bigger room.

There are three things that make The Hôtel de France stand out from the sizeable competition: the wonderful staff, the comfortable rooms and the location just moments from The Negresco and the Promenade des Anglais. Nothing is too much at this hotel and it's so welcoming and homely from the moment you arrive. Small touches like the free coffee, drinks and pastries in the lobby/ breakfast room to the 'Honesty Bar' are delightful. We stayed in two rooms - one on the first floor with a balcony and on the third floor without. Both were superbly presented with a kettle, coffee machine, fridge, more towels than we could ever use and pillows aplenty. Superb. Breakfast is a fair and decent spread too - deliciously fluffy scrambled eggs, sausages, yoghurts, fruits, pastries, etc. More than fair value. It's important to bear in mind that this is a three star hotel, so you will not be getting a Negresco experience. But for one tenth of the price and the same location, I've never seen the point in paying for facilties I never use and almost always prefer to skip hotel restaurants and enjoy authentic local cuisine. Unless you need a spa, concierge, bellboy, swimming pool and myriad other facilities, the Hôtel de France has it all. It's also within a few minutes walking distance of a superb Carrefour City supermarket and every other shop and service you could possibly want. The train station is a 10 minute walk and local buses and trams are also nearby. What more could one possibly want from a stay in magnificent Nice!

Slippers and bathrobes were not provided.

Nice enough all things considered. They could vacuum the rooms and stair case a bit more thoroughly and we took exception to the jug containing the warm milk being coated with a gooey whitish film. The staff are pleasant, friendly and forthcoming and the rooms are good value for money. No complaints about the mattresses and the bathroom facilities were in good shape too. The streets outside are surprisingly calm at night for a city centre and it's only a short walk to the seaside.

Hotel de France is a warm, welcoming place to stay that’s conveniently located close to the Old Town, great restaurants and shops. The management and staff are friendly, knowledgeable and quick to respond to needs. The breakfast room and courtyard were inviting and cheerful. Lots of good options for a full breakfast. Our beds were comfortable and the shower provided good water pressure and temperatures. Great location! We used taxis only from the train station and to the airport. Otherwise, we walked everywhere! Would highly recommend!

Would loved to have had more storage or shelves for clothes, but no big deal.

The staff were the best I've encountered in all my travels- including to some 5 star hotels! They were all really friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The rooms were clean and well equipped. And the location was fantastic, just a 3 minute walk from the sea! Excellent value for money.

The room was rather small with the window open the street noise could get a bit much if you're trying to have a lie in. However, we did select the small double room and just had to close the window and use aircon so no love lost! An extractor fan in the bathroom would've been great but there was a window so that works just as well.

The staff is very kind and accommodating. The location is excellent. The breakfast is plentiful. The room was very quiet and clean. This is an old building, but has had a number of updates made to the lighting, plumbing fixtures, air conditioning, insulated windows, etc.

The room was very stuffy, maybe due to the carpet. While we chose a smaller room, it was very very small for price. Should have taken a better look at the square footage.

The design was cool and the staff was impeccable. The manager was so kind and sweet, he made the place worth it. Their breakfast is also great. The location was very walkable and safe.

I hate even writing anything negative since the manager was so great. The room was a much smaller configuration from the photos used on booking. We Could barely get around the bed to the bathroom. There were stains on the curtains and large chair in the room but the manager took care of that himself. On our last day we saw a large amount of mold in the bathroom so we tried to keep the windows open to not breath it in.

We really liked the location and the attentiveness of the staff. The hotel was in walking distance of everywhere we wanted/ needed to go. The room was beautiful.

We really liked everything about the hotel. We have no complaints. We did not have breakfast there so that’s the only thing we cannot comment on. People seemed to emit though.

This was a great pic of a hotel in Nice. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. We had a couple challenges with the showers the first night, which the staff quickly took care of. They gave us a great recommendation for breakfast when we got there early. They were friendly and helpful at orienting us to the area. Would definitely recommend this stay, it was super comfortable experience in Nice. Loved it and will come again.

The staff was exceptional, and we even met the owner which seems to be a rarity these days. Such a great surprise to meet him! He takes great pride in the hotel and it shows. They followed up with us before our arrival to ensure everything was in place that we requested. The front desk, Anaïs, is a pro. It's a breath of fresh air to be treated so personally and not just another "number!" Rooms are pleasant, comfortable, and have everything you need. It was our first time in Nice and the location was in proximity to a lot of cool restaurants and the beach. All in all a great value for the price, and we felt right at home. Merci à tout le monde à l'hôtel - nous reviendrons !
