By far our favorite hotel throughout our two week vacation in France. Le Dortoir is located in…read morecentral Nice, next to lively restaurants, shopping, and a short five minute walk to the beach. I booked directly on the Le Dortoir website which guaranteed the best rates. If you book directly with them, reminder to be aware of conversation rates and foreign transaction fees since they do not have the option to book in USD. When we arrived, our room was ready and we were promptly greeted by their staff who also helped carry our luggage with us to the second floor. I believe Le Dortoir has their rooms on the second, third, and fourth floor of the building but you have to climb three sets of stairs to get to the second floor since the ground floor starts on floor 0. There is no elevator which is probably the only con. The rooms are just as pictured. Super modern, clean, and spacious. We loved the hardwood floors, rain shower, and natural lighting which came in from three large windows that spanned the entire side of the room. We booked a room with a balcony which we highly recommend as that was probably our favorite part of the room. Located in a bustling area of Nice, the balcony overlooked the town center and provided a fun area to relax, unwind, and people-watch after a long day of exploring Nice. The room includes a mini fridge, Nespresso machine and wine opener/drinking glasses. The only strange thing was that housekeeping came into our room even when we had the "Do not disturb" sign on. We thought we had forgotten to put the sign up the first day, but even after checking the second and third day, they continued to come in. We had no issues with our stuff and didn't feel the need to make a compliant but we did think that was a bit strange. They have staff in their office located on the "ground floor" (one set of stairs from the entrance) during working hours if you have questions during your stay. Overall, we had a wonderful stay here and would definitely come back next time we are in Nice.

The b&b is close enouhg to the train station and he does have directions up I her website. So ifyou…read morefollow them directly you cannot get lost! The rooms are on the second floor and I stayed in the orange room. I thought my stay was ok, since it was so hot in Nice I did want to use the AC the whole time I was on my room including sleeping. But she does tell you not to do that, which I did not like but she does live there. ISo if you are picky and need the AC on while you're in your room, don't stay here then! But I was ok with this rule. The room has its own refrigerator and she gives you water! First time I had free water at any hotel in Europe haha! I didn't like how she told us to help clean up the bathroom. I understand her reason but I just didn't think with the price you pay, that you should have to do anything. You have to wipe down the shower after you use it because she doesn't have a strong enough vent in the room. So to prevent mold, we the customers, have to wipe it down. Breakfast could have been way more..... I left all the mornings hungry! She puts fresh croissants in the oven and gives us jam and butter. Then there's a loaf of bread and tea and yogurt and oj available. That's it. There is a market across the way by the train station so stock up! She has her cool dog Rocco so if you have allergies, stay away, but he's a cool and chill dog. Overall, I had an ok experience. She lets you borrow a mat and towel for the pebble beaches so take advantage! But I probably wouldn't go back again. Only to try other places and a different location in Nice but it wasn't a super great experience.

I stayed here in late May with a friend in the green room. We had a good experience, but there was…read moreroom for improvement. As expressed, the experience is very much like staying in someone's home and that comes with its pros and cons. The location was excellent for site seeing and beach going. Josephine has plenty of recommendations for both rainy and sunny days, both of which we took full advantage! She has a bookshelf of guidebooks and other tourist information for you to borrow and gave us a map on our first day which was great. Wifi is free, which also helped with planning our stay. She has a really cute dog, Rocco, who helped me cope with my homesick feelings for my own dogs. I would agree that if you don't like dogs, you shouldn't stay here. I personally found having him here a major perk to a homey experience! I also agree with other reviews that I expected more from breakfast, although not in quantity but in variety. She gives more than enough food to be full all morning! Breakfast consists of fresh croissants, yogurt, OJ, tea/coffee, and assorted breads with various spreads and jams. I think it would be nice if there were a few fruits in addition. Since we stayed for several days, it would have been nice not to be eating mainly bread every morning (although delicious!) It seemed that Josephine was a bit judgmental of the guests' decisions and eating habits which was unpleasant. She made comments to my friend and me about the length of other guest's showers, made disgusted faces at our sausage and other pork products we got from the market, and made an unnecessary amount of comments in regard to money. It seemed like she felt obligated to sit with us during the entirety of breakfast, which felt a bit awkward and forced. For the price and location, I think this was a good place but I would probably try something else if I return to Nice.

Beyond our expectations! Our room had two large windows overlooking the azure blue water and was…read morevery large. The hotel is simply magnificent. One of the nicest we have stayed at. In the evening you can hear live music from your balcony. The location is absolute perfection. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, the beach, the promenade, and everything you could imagine. It's pure luxury in the heart of Nice. I would most certainly recommend it.

Great location, right across the street from the French Riviera, and within walking distance of…read morelots of cafes and shops. The hotel is historic, but the rooms were updated several years ago, and offer both sea views and mountain views. Bathrooms have a half door, so there's water all over the floor when you get out. We booked the sea view, but got bumped to a mountain view room, for some reason, but the hotel compensated us with a bottle of champagne and a voucher for food or drinks. Breakfasts were abundant and outstanding.

I had a really pleasant stay at this Best Western. The room was a bit on the smaller size, but the…read morebathroom was a good size and there was a little patio attached to our room. I really enjoyed having a full tub as well. Each room has a nice book of details about the hotel and stuff to do in the area. The place is also centrally located and we were pretty much able to get to everything we needed by foot and taking the occasional Uber. The patio had a little bistro sized table and one chaise lounge. The table was nice and we had some meals out there during our stay. Staff was always friendly and helpful. We asked for help opening a bottle of wine and for some silverware to enjoy our meal and they were happy to oblige. The breakfast is a pretty nice spread with REALLY GOOD scrambled eggs. It's buffet style and costs €12/person. Only thing I could see improvement on is that it would be nice if they included an iron in the room instead of having to request one, which was broken and leaking. The staff was also a bit short when we called in with questions, but I think this is due to maybe calling when they are busy with check ins/check outs. They were VERY helpful in person during check in and check out.
