The place was very nice! The staff was available for check-in/Check-out and bagages. I really enjoyed the second floor to relax. Wish there was shelves in bathroom to avoid putting my clean clothing on the toilet.

Nice, but no room cleaning in over 4 days.
Nice hostel. Check in was quick and easy. The breakfast buffet was good. It would have been nice if they could have empty the garbage in the room daily without being asked. No room cleaning service over 4 days.

Hostel was great. I thought there would be more breakfast options but just toast and cereal for most of the part. But the cereal was good. Staff was nice. Rooms were also pretty clean.

A bit deceiving for an hostel. It is mostly an hotel with some hostel features.
I am expecting staff to invite people for games, gathering, promote their tours and expeditions. We had to ask about those which is unusual for hostels. We visited multiples hostels in different countries and it felt flat limit depressing in common areas.
Also, hostels are not a place for families with babies and elder people (70yo+) they have no place there.
It’s well positioned but felt short on expectations.

Rooms have no towels in them so you are provided with them before getting into your room. We were not given the vouchers for the breakfast at the moment of the check in. We were asked by them in the middle of the breakfast when we did n not even know we had to have them at hand… Quite embarrassing… the ladies at the front desk are not the best ones in terms of customer oriented personnel… breakfast was ok. Private rooms should be equipped with TV screens…no soap in the bathroom (quite bad). I would not recommend this hotel…

Their website said they offer free cancellation within 48 hours of the stay. I haf to change my travel plans MONTHS before my stay. I requested a cancellation and they DENIED me! This is illegal. More than $400. What kind of horrible people would do this? You need to give me my money back, this is theft, nothing more.

Overall the hostel is really close to the center of Nice. I found the bathroom to be spacious the other guests were quiet. It was clean and the staff was accommodating. The one issue I had was when I locked the bathroom it was a struggle to unlock. This was really nice for an affordable acommodations.
