Pros: Great location, friendly staff, cute common area,…read morelarge kitchen, lots of areas that you can chill, close to a Momoprix. Cons: I can only speak for the 2nd floor private rooms, which are located in another building, 2 doors down from the main dorms. If you are a light sleeper and staying there from Wednesday - Sunday.....beware. The Hostile wall is shared with a Live Music club and their hours are 11P-5A. It was very loud.

We stayed here and absolutely loved it!! Quick summary below:…read more Hostel - Super organised/clean with everything you could need. I loved the security system and modern open plan layout. They spoke both English and French. Room - included the best ensuite bathroom I have seen in a hostel. Room was clean with enough plugs to charge items. Breakfast - such good value for money and thank you for including dairy-free milk. Location - so central (next to Place Messena) and within minutes to the beach. You have everything so close to you. Tip: Book directly through their website to save money.

This was the best hostel imaginable…read more The location is right by the beach but not right on it so it offers a bit of calm from all the touristyness. The rooms and amenities were clean and abundant. Very impressed that it is such an accommodating hostel. The staff is off the hook... super friendly, super helpful, and really just the best. I would absolutely stay here again, and recommend it to anyone coming to the area. In fact I recommend it more than any hotel or airbnb!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Always asking how we…read morewere doing, cracking jokes, giving us tips to help with our adventure planning, etc. Location: It's located about 3 blocks back from the beach, which was great. And it's a short walk from the promenades and main nightlife areas, but just outside of it all. So it's generally quiet at night. Of course this also depends on who is staying at the hostel at the time, but that's a risk you always take at hostels. When we stayed it was quiet a couple nights, and then loud one night. But staff was good about kicking out the drunkies towards midnight. Usually we were out, but the one night we were staying it, it got a bit noisy. Everyone was always lively and hanging in the common areas. Drinking and talking story at night. Accommodations: the rooms were very nice. We had a 3 bed room and it had it's own bathroom which is always a nice luxury in a hostel. Towels were also included. Only problem with the bathroom was the shower was TINY. So small, I had to contort my body into all sorts of positions just trying to bend over to get my shampoo bottle. Nice to have our own shower, but could've been larger. Rooms were well decorated and painted and looked very nice. There was a TV and some storage cupboards with loops for a padlock if you brought your own. I'm sure they would rent them too if you needed one. Breakfast was included if you booked through hostelworld: cereal, pasteries, muffins, toast, butter, jam, coffee, milk, etc. Pretty standard affair for an included breakfast. It was roughly 2 euro if you didn't. They also had beach items anyone could use, including beach towels and pads for laying on the rocky Nice beaches. Towels are cleaned, you take from the clean pile, return to the dirty towels bin. It was nice to have these things instead of using my bath towel on a rocky beach. Overall, this was a good hostel and I'd recommend it to friends and most likely stay here again. +bath and beach towels included +well decorated and kept hostel +breakfast included when booking through hostelworld +staff was extremely friendly and helpful -private/smaller rooms have ridiculously small shower

Stayed here for a week and it was perfect. I don't like to optimize for hotels while traveling…read morebecause I tend to spend so little time in them, but this means that you can really be rolling the dice as far as lodging is concerned. I booked a single room here and was not disappointed. First and foremost, the location is absolutely impossible to beat. You're walking distance from both L1 and L2 trams as well as a TER train station. Additionally, you're right next to Avenue Jean Médecin, which is a must-see. The Avenue also offers a direct walking (or short tram) route down to Place Masséna and Vieux Nice. The room itself was both clean and quaint. Free WiFi is offered. Towels are changed and trash is emptied daily. The staff was nice and helpful. Free breakfast is offered in the morning in the form of coffee and cereal, which I feel is pretty standard for most hostels I've been to. The hostel itself has a great terrace in between buildings where people like to meet, drink, and socialize. There are cool restaurants nearby, as well as a great bakery and a grocery store. The hostel also has a kitchen with shareable dishes, which we took advantage of for our wine. That being said, keep your expectations low: it is a hostel, after all. It's around 100 euro per night, so as long as you're not expecting the Hyatt or the Ritz, you should not be disappointed. Would highly recommend and definitely plan on coming back!

This place was absolutely terrible. For starters, I am writing this review here because the hostel…read moredidn't officially confirm our visit on Hostelworld making us not "verified visitors" - leaving us unable to leave a review on there (sketchy enough). This makes a lot of sense though because in no world does this hostel deserve a "8.0 fabulous" rating as seen in Hostelworld. Here is a list of reasons why our stay was terrible and why you should never book: - At check in they informed us that their card reader wasn't working, making us walk to a currency exchange to pull out more cash. This wouldn't be a big deal, however we found reviews from months ago mentioning the same thing, making it clear they have made no effort to fix this. If I had to guess, this has to do with them keeping transactions off the books so that they don't have to verify traveler's stays in Hostelworld, preventing them from leaving reviews. - The AC was not working. On Hostelworld it clearly states that there is AC and in our room there was a unit mounted to the wall, however there was no way to turn it on. The front desk said there should be a remote, which we didn't have and they gave us some excuse that they would need someone to come in and look at it the next day (which never happened). This made the room near uninhabitable for sleeping. - We requested an all male room and were put with 2 females. While this wasn't a huge deal for us, one of the girls in our room also told us that she requested an all female room and got put in our room. The safety risk/discomfort this could pose is clear. - There were NO curtains/sun blockers of any kind in our room. You'll be sure to be waking up with the sun during your stay! - The bed conditions. The mattresses (if you can even call them that) were thin and placed on a metal grate bed frame that you could feel every bit of when trying to sleep. There is also a high probability of bed bugs because my friends and I came out of our stay with pretty of new bites. - The housekeeping staff will barge into your room every day around 9am and start cleaning, even if you are in there still. While we are thankful to have a clean room, this could be done at a much more considerate time. If you've made it this far I hope that I have helped you to avoid choosing this hostel. Nearby air bnbs are 100x nicer and comparable in price. I'd honestly rather sleep on the streets than here again. It was a breath of fresh air to check out.
