I chose this hotel because other places where booked for the dates I needed. Overall the rooms where clean. The rooms A/C was struggeling to keep the room cold and the plumbing/ faucet was loose on the wall. They also ran out of bread and croissants before 10 am and didn't seem to care about that (many € per person extra). The area was in a shopping […] street without car access, so I had to park about 200 yards away in a public parking structure that cost an extra Euros for 2 days. Schlepping lugage trough a crowded shopping street wasnt that much fun. The Prommenade des Anglais was a 10-15 min. walk away. During that walk, we passed a church with creeps hanging around. Overall a bit pricey per night. I'll try something else next time. I stayed at a Hotel del Borgo in Bologna for less Euros a night with awesome service and none of the inconveniences in Nice.

The hotel is very good and very close to Nice's main train station. But the surrounding area is dirty and feels dangerous with many people you would never invite to your home walking around at night. The hotel does not have parking! So if go by car it is not easy or cheap to find where to park.

The hotel staff were superb...friendly, helpful and truly interested in making our stay pleasant. The room itself was fine...clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very good. The hotel is on a very busy main street. It would be fine for a business trip but as tourists we would prefer a different location. But the room was quiet there was no street […] noise at all.

Hotel was clean and employees were extremely courteous and helpful. My wife became ill during our trip and the staff was very helpful in accomodating us. The neighborhood is a bit iffy but its location was extremely convenient to transportation for the area

Even though it was abit off track , it was a nice, clean hotel . The problem was if you did not want to eat dinner at the hotel, there was nothing open to get a bite.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I have stayed for 2 days to spend romantic vacations with my wife and the hotel provides a great satisfaction to my wife which made me happy. The staffs in the hotel were very friendly. One drawback to this hotel is that there is no parking garage. If you do not have a car traveling with, it would be a great stay.

Great for someone on a budget...needs a little renovation though. Staff are really nice.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Solid place, but pretty used up. The location is good, but the rooms really have seen a lot.

I arrived a lil' bit earlier in the hotel around 11.30 AM from an early morning flight from CPH. I was totally tired (coming from a night shift work), did'nt have any sleep, was told to come back at 3pm (check-in in their homepage says 2pm). Thought that was a bit cheeky. The room was clean. Shower and toilet are separate. Lobby is small,nothing special. […] The two girls at the reception (a nice black girl and an east european looking one forgot their names) were quite helpful. Another receptionist (somewhat black guy) insisted on their tours few times, obviously on commision. He lacks customer service training. Forgot to mention,we could'nt find the airconditioning control knob on out 1st few days there,so i ended up having colds, twas extremely cold. We ate out for bfast. Their's costs 13 euros. Read more

I had high hopes coming to this hotel because of the positive reviews. Positive - it is really close to the train station. The bed wasr really hard. Every night was sleepless. If you are used to sleeping on the floor or a board, you will be OK. The weather was hot, but AC did not work for 3 nights. Unfortunatly, I had prepaid reservation and can not […] leave. The breakfast is overpriced, expect to spend around $50 for a breakfast for 2 people. Front desk staff barely speak English, and even when they tried to give me a directions, they were wrong. Eventually, I started to ask for info in nearby hotel. Next time I will not stay in this hotel. Read more

I've no hestiation in recommending Alba Hotel in Nice. It's a short walk from the Railway Station on the main street, central, and just a few minutes walk down the main street to the beach. My room was possibly atypical in that it was accessed by a spiral staircase immediately inside the door. It was spacious and with comfortable furnishings. Staff […] were friendly. Read more

This hotel was a great value...good location within a 10-minute walk to old Nice...clean, big room, which was rare for our visit to france...good internet service...and a friendly staff. I'd recommend it to friends.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great location on the center street, ten minute walk down to the beach. Room was awesome. Same could be said for the staff - helpful and pleasant. Parking was a bit expensive, but nice and secure inside a garage.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was a great hotel! Our room was HUGE! High ceilings, a huge window, separate entry with the bathroom, and plenty of closet space. The hotel was very clean. There isn't much in terms of extras (no pool, bar, or restaurant). It's about a 20 min walk to the beach. The hotel is located on a main street in Nice within walking distance to a supermarket, […] stores, resturants, and the train station. We got a great deal on expedia and were very happy with our stay. Read more

This is a lovely hotel in the heart of nice. With plenty of shops and restaurants on your doorstep I don't think I could have found a better location. 10 mins walk to the beach too! Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Everything made you think it is more like a 4 star hotel. Would go back next time without hesitating. Top class!

Very comfortable, friendly and helpful staff, nice sized room with good amenities. Close to Large shopping centre and not too far from the beach/resturaunts. Tram service outside hotel

The location is good, staff was friendly spoke English and were helpful.Rooms are small.I had taken a triple occupancy room and was surprised by the room size. Bathroom had issues of water clogging in the sink and tub.But overall our stay was comfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I have chosen this hotel because of the good reviews and I am very happy that we did, the room was a little small for 3 which we asked for but it wasn't crammed. The bathroom was spacious and clean, although wish the shower screen was a bit more bigger and wider so the water wouldn't have leaked out to the floor. The hotel was in the perfect location, […] right in the centre of the shopping area but it wasn't noisy, actually it was quite pleasing to hear the bells ringing from the trams outside, gives it the authentic feel. The staff were very nice especially the lady who works in the morning shift on the front desk, she was very helpful and smiley all the time. We booked the room with breakfast included and very good value with free wifi (very important to us), the breakfast was very pleasant with a good variety of continental choice from the delicious croissants to scrambled egg and bacon. We definitely go back and stay there again next time. Read more

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is close to the train station which is really helpfull when exploring surrounding areas like Monaco and Cannes. Our room was more spacious and comfortable than what we had been expecting. We would definately stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Poor quality & maintenance. Small room. Slow lift. When no staff at front desk. Doors locked, no in or out. Could be a hazard. Not a 3* standard. More like 2* with 4* cost. Unhelpful at times.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the hotel is halfway between the two tram stops on the main shopping avenue. So you can choose which ever one you want. The train station is just round the corner so again, a good choice of location. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly, couldnt do more for us. Our room wasnt ready due to a late check out but we were allowed to store our […] luggage and go for a wander. When we came back we were greated by another receptionist who again was really nice. Our room was on the top floor and was stunning. Clean and tidy and was built into the rafters of the roof... just mind your head. Carpets were new and the bed was really comfortable. There is nothing we wouldnt change about it. WE ALSO HAD FREE WIFI FOR EACH DEVICE WE HAD. Read more

Firstly, we checked in through a warm lady at the reception. We were surprised to find our hotel on the main street and within close proximity of shops, supermarkets, eatereies, the main train station, a tram station and two bus station. How fortunate! The amenities were good for a 3 star hotel and the decor was new and appealing.

We were very satisfied with our stay in this hotel. It is very clean and gives good service. The girl at the front desk was very helpful. Great location.

Excellent location, friendly staff, heart of city but quiet in room.

the room was nice but for 3 adults it was rather small. the bad is quite hard. aircondition was perfect. hotel staff were very pleasent.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Situated on the long main shopping street in Nice, this hotel is conveniently situated for the train station where you can catch trains to Monaco, Cannes, Antibes, etc. if you want to visit other areas of the south of France. The street is being pedestrianised so there is almost no traffic except for the trams. Rooms are air-conditioned with tea/coffee […] making facilities and wi-fi. No English TV We did take breakfast in the hotel, but went around the corner to a cafe. Read more

The hotel is located on the main shopping street Avenue Jean Medecin, being close to both train station and the seafront. We travelled with our 2-year-old and all the staff there are extremely friendly and absolutely adored him. Had no problem with them organising tour for us and left our luggage on our check-out day. We had a room facing the street […] but didn't find it noisy during the night. We didn't have the breakfast at the hotel so can't really comment. We had a privilege room - it's not very big but clean. The only downside is that the shower screen over the bath is too small - every time we showered the bathroom floor is flooded. The wi-fi isn't constant sometimes - found myself have to log in a few times. Other than that, it was a great stay. Read more

Hotel was clean, staff were really friendly and helpful. Location is fantastic for getting round Nice and very close to the train station for trips to Monaco and Cannes. Really easy to get the 99 bus from the airport to the train station and then it's a 5 min walk to the hotel. There is a Mono Prix supermarket a couple of minutes walk away, which we […] visited every day for bottles of water and our fresh pain au chocolate etc for breakfast. Read more

My family arrives on train, and we walked to the Hotel. No problem finding it at all, but the current road works make navigation with luggage a bit difficult. It is at the top end of the shopping belt and therefore a distance away from the old town, chateau and the beach. Walkable, but a distance nonetheless since we have young kids and older folks. Service […] is great, rooms are nice. Breakfast is good too. My room is near the top and it therefore has a slanted wood ceiling - be careful as I hit my head against it. The elevator is small so you may need a few trips is there are many people with many luggages. Great stay for us and well looked after and assisted. Read more

The Alba in Nice is a short walk away from the railway station. We were greeted by name when we arrived. The staff were very helpful and the hotel is situated in the main street so it was easy to get wherever we wanted to go. I did think the breakfasts were expensive so we didn't eat breakfast in the hotel. Otherwise it is a good place to stay if you […] are sightseeing in Nice. Read more

Room was clean, tidy. Air con did not work, but I managed to get the window open which called the room down. Perfect location near railway statation and tram stop.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is in a great location. Lots of shops, cages and restaurants nearby. Place Massena just a short walk away and the beach about 15 minutes walk away . The rooms were clean and comfy. Staff were pleasant and could speak English. Car parking facilities though not at the hotel were very nearby. Just 2 minutes away. Would go back.

Great Western Alba is only a few blocks away from train station. When you arrive at Terminal 2 hop on bus 99 and get off at Train Station (Gare) (better than 98 as this goes to bus station which is quite a walk) costs 4E, hold onto ticket as this allows you to use all day on the bus, tram network, but must validate on each journey. We found transport […] the best thing about Nice only 1E per journey (Take the 100 from Nice to Menton, which passes Villefranche, Monaco, Monte Carlo (1Hr) before going to Menton (didn't go this far but a large seaside town of recommendation apparently). Take the 200 to Cannes from bus station (2hrs) and the 400 to St Paul de Vence (1hr) all for 1E per journey (no returns in France only single) or 4E for the day (but unless you are going to a couple of places in 1 day we found the single Euro fare the best). There's a Carrefour in the shopping area in Cannes for cheap drinks & lunch. Mono Prix supermarket 2 min away from hotel, MacD's and KFC around corner. We found prices in Nice very expensive for meals. We hate a terrible small steak with lettuce and fries for 32E - rubbish. A small 25cl of lager cost 5E in restaurant in side street near Hotel - rip off as when checking prices in Cannes in fanstastic posh hotel on sea front this was cheaper at 4.5E! We refused to pay these silly prices & bought pizzas, batons, off stalls in old town (15min walk away not far from bus station) & salads & fruits from supermarkets. Hotel has tea/coffee makking but take own tea bags as they only give 2 & 4 small sachets of coffee & no china cups - plastic; glasses also plastic which I hated. Downsides of hotel - shower - could not tighten so flow of water on wall not on you; damp smell in bathroom; walls paper thin - could hear man next door on phone & also hear the person at other end of phone talking! We were in standard room on 4th floor so had a huge beam in room - had to duck to walk around bed - so ask for lower floor. Ask for kingsize bed - ours was fir Read more

When we got to our room, everything was in order. Overall, everything worked as it should, no problems. Air conditioning worked well, there was LAN access (wi-fi, although present, wasn't the best). The shower/bathtub was a problematic. Because it's a combo tub and shower, the 'shower' portion is to the back, but the plastic 'shield' designed to keep […] the water in isn't long enough and so almost always, you will get water spray onto the floor (which makes it wet). The bed was fine, although not the best mattress. Other than that, no other issues. I would stay here again. The price was competitive, and the location was EXCELLENT. 7 min walk from Train station, 2 min walk to tram, and right on the main strip. Shopping across the street, with a QUICK burger/fast-food right next door. Good stay. Read more

We spent 7 nights in Hotel Alba Best Western in Nice middle of September. We found the Hotel room very comfortable - a lovely room which may be soundproofed as it was one of the quietest hotels we have sayed in. Bed very comfortable - maybe a bit hard for some. Wardrobe space was scarce. Breakfast expensive. No Bar or restaurant. Great location on the […] main street about 12 minutes walk to seaside. I would stay again. Read more
