Gill, the proprietor is a gem! So helpful during the months prior to my visit and once I got here. My luggage was lost and he accommodated me so I could be comfortable and get on with my visit to Nice. I absolutely loved my little room overlooking the beautiful tree lined boulevard. Breakfast was delicious. Great vibes at this place!

Relaxing vacation in Nice

We loved our stay in Nice and should haves stayed longer! Giles and his pup Maurice were great hosts and really made us feel welcomed. Small but complete breakfast matched the room but in the best part of the city so worth it! So close to tramways and train station, ((when not on strike) but we walked everywhere which was so easy! Hope to come back again!!!

A very small hôtel. This is not your typical hotel. the rooms were clean and comfortable and although the facility is small the rooms had a bedroom space and a kitchen dinning area. Gilles was very friendly and extremely helpful with any request and suggestions. For a budget friendly place in a very touristy town it’s difficult to find a better location, close to the English promenade, old Nice, train and tram station. I would return again

This hotel is in a beautiful neighbourhood within easy walking distance to the Promenade des Anglais. It is also right across the street from a convenient tram line that goes directly to the city centre. The owner Gilles is friendly and gives helpful advice. The hotel is very reasonably priced for the area. We really enjoyed our stay.

The location was perfectly close to many great attractions, and offered plenty of amenities. Our room was a great size, and even had it's own kitchenette which was very convenient.

We had a great stay and appreciate the nice breakfast and helpful suggestions from Gilles. We booked the room with attached small extra sitting and kitchen space and that was perfect. The bathroom is small and shower a step up so not perfect if mobility issues. Location in the city is great with the tram to the airport right across the street. Appreciate the convenience of an ice maker. Located in a beautiful old building.
