Hôtel Nice Excelsior Châteaux & Hôtels Collection - Nice

I loved this hotel. Well located near the train stain, great staff, good size, clean room with great french windows and a nice city view. It also has a backyard with a fountain and a good breakfast. It is older, so it is a little worn around the edges, but is currently going thru a renovation. I will stay there again and recommend the hotel.

Most everyone was exceedingly helpful. It was noisy on the 1st floor facing the street and they changed my room. I really appreciated it.

We chose this hotel due to its convenient location for the railway station; however, we were quite disappointed with our room, considering this was rated a three-star hotel. The furniture was very old and of poor quality. The breakfast room was pleasant and the staff were very friendly, but we would probably not return to this hotel.

This hotel is lovely, it has old charm mixed with new. Bathroom was clean, they have a charming "secret graden" of sorts (I could see it from my room balcony). The Breakfast area is nice and the food display lovely and fresh goods. CARPETS: The condition of the carpets or rugs were totaly horrible, in our room ... They should change them or throw something […] over them while they take care of them ASAP! - I would have appreciated a "Pardon our carpets as we are preparing to replace them" - After all is not like one can NOT noticed. We left as soon as we were able to find room elsewere. The main area carpets/rugs could use some cleaning also. Read more

It is by no means a Four Seasons resort hotel. But for the price, the location to the train station, and most importantly the service, it can't be beat. The bathrooms are also surprisingly nice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The front desk staff was very helpful and the room was spacious for 3 persons. They could use a better house keeping staff as we found debris and even a liter coke bottle under our bed when we arrived! Very easy to get to the train station and tram line into the main plaza. Quiet and comfortable. We would stay again if we get the chance to return to […] Nice. Read more

the shower leaked horribly, the room service left our door unlocked AFTER we had asked for a 'do not disturb' sign as we were leaving & were told that it would be put on. at the breakfast table they left empty nutella packets after changing the dishes :( ugh.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Room was close to train station, which I needed. The staff didn't tell me there was a spa, work out room and one night I went for dinner and they said, sorry we are closed, but the hrs didn't state that. So I had to go out & find a restaurant which I found a good one and continued to go there for both nights instead of the hotels. Also, my room was […] very hot and couldn't control the temp. I put a do not disturb sign on my door because I was working and the maid still ran the door and then came in while I was working insisting on cleaning and then used the phone to call the manager and I had to tell him the room is ok.

Like the title says, we were a short walk from all of the night life in Nice. We had a really great time, felt completely safe in the neighborhood and wished we would have stayed for a couple more days. The bathroom was clean and a decent size. Bed ( standard double) was comfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

If you go there ask for a room facing the back NOT the street. The romm was extremely tiny. The hotel is run down. The ony highlight is a nice and cosy backyard.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was a great hotel for the money and very conveniently located by the train station. Rooms were not luxurious, but spacious and very clean with A/C. Staff was courteous and it was only a 10 minute walk to the beach. I would definitely recommend it as good value if you aren't looking for luxury.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed almost a week at the Hotel Excelsior on our recent trip to the French Riviera. We were impressed with the helpful staff, especially Corinne. All staff were very accommodating and professional. The room was average size by European standards and well appointed. We would stay there again should our travels bring us back to the Riviera.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The biggest advantage staying at this hotel is its location to the train station. It's a 3-5 minute walk. It's also about a 25 minute walk to Old Town and the Mediterranean. The surrounding neighborhood is a bit sketchy looking but we did not feel unsafe. The room was on the small side, but quiet and very clean. The staff was excellent and offered […] us valuable information. They answered all of our questions without us feeling rushed. The breakfast was in a beautiful room with plenty of choices and good quality food. A good choice if you're arriving or leaving by train. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Excelsior was a very nice hotel with a very helpful friendly staff. It was convienient to the train station (five minutes walk) and 15 minute walk to the beach, ten minutes to the main shopping area. The only draw back was the area southeast of the hotel seemed a little unlit and unpatroled at night, having said that we walked through it several […] times with no problem. Read more

The hotel was as indicated in the description. Old and worn in places, but still comfortable. The rooms are small but that was expected.The toilet area was so small that you could not shut the door but functioned and that is really all that matters. The shower area is very tight but good water pressure .Nice vanity so you could store under the sink […] We had a balcony which was very rustic but also very French. Good location to the water and many restaurants in close vicinity. Very close to the Train Station, but they were not running because of the strikes. Hotel staff extremely informative and gave us great advise as to how to get to Monte Carlo The bus station was not too far away and only cost 1 Euro each way for a lovely hour drive along the Riviera!! When we gave the Hotel Services a 5 we are referring to the staff. Not a lot of amentities, but a great value for the price we paid!! Read more

The Staff is friendly and very accomodating. The hotel is in a convenient location near the Train Station, this may turn some folks off as neighborhoods around Stations are generally not too nice. The elevator in the hotel is small (holds 2 people no luggage or 1 person and 2 suitcases). They offer breakfast for a fee per person it is the standard continental […] breakfast fare. The room was decent sized and ours overlooked the street which can get a bit loud. Other rooms overlook the garden which I assume would be more quiet. There are 4 Laundry Mats near by and it is a short walk to the shopping boulevard and beach or you can catch the tram nearby to th beach the price is 1 euro for a 1 way ticket. Read more

This hotel is very convenient to the train station...just a short walk down the hill. Hotel staff was very helpful and we enjoyed our time there in Nice. The hotel is looking a little bit "long in the tooth", could use some paint here and there. Breakfast was somewhat disappointing in that we arrived (in plenty of time) and found no eggs were left and […] no more to be made, orange juice was empty and very few croissants left. We only went once because it was 13 euros each and we didn't get the full value. Only 6 Safe deposit boxes available through the front desk, and we couldn't have one until the 3rd night. The hotel is on a pleasant tree-lined street and just a 15 minute walk to the beaches. Many pleasant little restaurants in the neighborhood -- from brasseries to ethnic foods (esp. Chinese and Japanese) We strongly recommend that you do NOT attempt to drive in this easy-walking city, mostly because parking places are very hard to find and require constant meter feeding when you do. We had hoped to use our car to travel to local small hill towns, but gave it up early (auto rentals are all at the train station) because it was too inconvenient to use. Read more

Very close proximity to the train station (Nice-Ville). You can see it literally from the station. Within walking distance of the beach and the Russian Church (but make sure and check the hours of the church if you want to visit). Front desk was always busy checking people in, and a couple staff members had a bit of an attitude (not offensive, but attitude […] nonetheless). Free computer and internet access, which was convenient, but you had to wait for other hotel customers. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel Excelsior was perfectly lovely - the room was airy and modern and comfortable, and the staff could not have been more helpful, calling me a cab, recommending the only open pharmacy on a Sunday, advising re: bus routes. However, I would not recommend staying in this location. Its proximity to the main train station was very convenient, but the […] surroundings felt a bit cagey at night, and I was hesitent to go out late at night for fear of walking back alone after dark.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good hotel - undergoing renovation at the mo. We got a new room and slightly had the fresh paint smell so might put people off. As a location pretty good if travelling to Monaco, Antibes, or Cannes. The airport bus drops you at the main train station so just a 1 minute walk from the hotel. The surroundings isn't that great. Ensure that take the main […] lit up streets in the evening if you are a solo female. Good standard European breakfast. Staff are informative and willing to make your stay as memorable as possible. About 15-20 minutes to old town/beach. If you exclusively are in Nice for your stay, best to go somewhere more central but perfect as a base to travel around the area. Read more

The desk staff was very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately the nearest parking was quite some distance and we drove our car. The room was typical for an old quaint hotel, but very clean. The breakfast was fine and the cost was well worth it. It was a 15 minute walt to the sea and the Old City in Nice. There are many restaurants there and also a huge […] daily market. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The rooms are a bit small, or least the one we got was. If you get it at a reasonable price it is an okay place to stay. The safes do not seem to work properly, or the staff does not know how to use them? Our room had a small balcony facing south, which was nice since we were there in January.

Location is very close to train station, so it was great for an overnight stay. Room was clean but showed age. Carpets and wall paper could use replacement. The staff was the gem of the Excelsior. Everyone behind the front counter were friendly and incredibly helpful. At check-in we were provided a map of the city and suggestions for things to do. We […] were greeted every time we passed by.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Really friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room, ideal location - 10 mins walk to the beach and the old town, 2 mins to the station if you are planning to travel along the Riveria. For the price we were pleasantly surprised and would definitely return here again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We spendt two nights here. We were welcomed by nice hotel personel. It takes 5-10 minutes to walk down to the beach and pretty much the same to get to several restaurants. The room was nice and clean and with AC. A nice hotel with nothing "extra" to it. Good value for your money. We would stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Booked this hotel after reviewing many hotels in the area. Overall was very satisfied. Apart from the public area having a grubby carpet everything else was very clean and up to standard. We stayed in a stylishly refurbished double room with ensuite overlooking the garden which was large, very nice and good value.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful two nights at this hotel. The location was perfect; one block from the train station and a 10 minute walk to the beach & main strip of Nice. The staff were very friendly and their English was much better than my French, thankfully. Despite what a past review says, the WIFI is free now. Although it was acting a bit […] sketchy. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was okay, served the purpose of only being in the room to sleep for one night. That it was very close to the train station made it super convenient, but the neighborhood around the train station is pretty sketchy. The room was very, very small and the carpet, wallpaper, furnishings were all sort of gross. If I were to have to stay there longer I […] would have hated it. Finally, we asked for a wake up call that was written down but never recieved. Luckily we had a back up plan and I recommend you make one too. Also, one more thing, we used the computer but there is no printer. I really, really needed to print one page (not a boarding pass) and had to beg the desk clerk to help me (he finally did, thank god.) Read more

Tidy and clean room, very near to Gare Nice Ville, just 5-10 minutes walk. Also we got to the Nice airport very easily by the bus outside the gare. One improvement required is the design of the bathroom. There is no shower curtain so the water splash everywhere no matter how careful you have been, the floor get flooded (there is a glass partition but […] without any use). Read more

From the moment we arrived at the hotel we were treated superbly, friendly and efficient staff who couldnt be more helpful, the location is perfect too, trains and buses no more than a 5 minute walk and the beach and promenade only 10/15 mins away......perfect also for day trips to Monte Carlo and Cannes!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Stayed in March - good rate from Hotels. Room and hotel were clean. If you are looking for luxury then this is not for you, if you are looking for reasonably priced, friendly and a bit of character to the hotel (ie its not all new) then this will suit you well. This is a hotel built around 100 years ago - externally it looks original. Inside it has […] a garden, breakfast area and good sized rooms. The area it is in, much like any railway station area, is not the best, however I was there alone as a female and never felt threatened. On the plus side there are lots of local restaraunts nearby including French, Indian, Chinese and Italian - all about a third cheaper than those close to the sea. Walk to the main street to the sea about 5 minutes tops. Wlak to the main square a little over 10 mins - but a nice walk. Read more

Great views, A long way from city, but lovely village just up the road. Very peaceful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We only stopped over in Nice and the hotel was perfect for our needs as it was near the station and ten minutes walk from the beach. The room is of a good size, the staff are nice but maybe a hotel good for only a night or two.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Central station 3 blocks away and the beach 15 minutes. Friendly service. Room smelled musty and the comforter had stains. Had air con so thank god. Free computer use on ground floor. WiFi is too expensive. It is conveinent if you will be using the train a lot but next time I'd go with something closer to the beach.

Genuine Expedia guest review

04 July 2011 Very close to railway station buses from airport run every half hour and drop off outside railway station alot cheaper than a taxi. On arrival met by a very welcoming receptionist who advised that as we where early arrivals our rooms would not be ready until 2.00pm but would be able to leave luggage in a secure room. Rooms cleaned every […] day and towels changed daily. We found all staff very helpful and friendly. Well within walking distance for the beach, main shopping and dining area for my 76 year old mum.

Super close to the train station (just a few mins walk) so very helpful if you are commuting. The receptionist was very welcoming and helpful. Room was clean. Double bed was two singles pushed together which I find annoying. Room was small but had a small balcony. Water pressure in the shower okay! It's definitely better than a budget hotel but nothing […] overly special. Would stay here again for the convenience. Read more

well located close to SNCF station in central Nice , also near to tram lines and excellent local bus services but in quiet neighbourhood. Clean hotel, reasonable facilities and well looked after, would stay there again

The location was what we wanted, something very close to the Niceville station as we had a 6.30 am departure. Neighbourhood is a bit dodgy though at night. The bathtub was very slippery, even hazardous. We did not receive our reminder call that we booked, so lucky we had a backup with an alarm on our phone! Overall, great location though and would stay […] here again if I needed a hotel close to the station. Read more

The location of the hotel is in a bit of a dodgy area near the train station but is relatively convinient location to the old part of the town and access to the city. The hotel was clean and spacious.
