HOWEVER, we arrived much too early for our reservation and instead of allowing entry (which I do understand, had it been explained politely and apologetically), we were looked up and down with an air of dismissiveness and told to return later. When we did return we were AGAIN looked at askance because we arrived in shorts - though we explained we brought more appropriate attire to change into as we had had been shopping in Antibes earlier in the day - and nearly denied entry AGAIN until the more senior security person deigned to approve our entry. To top it all off, I never felt welcome to enjoy anything beyond the bar and grill area, the martini was only OK at the bar, my moules were COMPLETELY oversalted (and I like salt!!) and when I told the wait person, all she did was repeat what I said with surprise and clear the table... no offer to bring a comped dessert or drink or knock some $ off the bill. All in all very disappointing. I live in San Francisco which is full of tech billionaires and yet to feel so excluded at the start of this experience and to end with such mediocre food, really was a sad thing. I would have expected more given the glowing article I had read in Condé Nast. Perhaps if you are a straight couple it's a different experience - we are two women, and the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth...

We just stayed at the Hotel West End Nice to celebrate a big birthday and anniversary. It was also…read moreour first time in France. I was so nervous about a non-refundable international booking, but let me tell you that this hotel made our trip SO special and memorable. I will never forget it. After booking a Deluxe sea-view room, I emailed them ahead to confirm, and they replied promptly. When we arrived, we were treated to a stunning full view oceanfront room in a historic hotel that has been painstakingly cared for. I was awed, just blown away. They left a lovely handwritten note with snacks and chocolates to wish us a Happy Birthday, which was seriously so thoughtful and touching. Marie at the front desk was so sweet and patient with us when we arrived tired from a long flight and gave us all the information we needed to have a good stay. The historic hotel itself is beautiful, and constantly being meticulously maintained. You can tell how much pride and care they have in the property. Our room was very clean, sanitized, and comfortable, with regular housekeeping. We had no mold or repair issues. The hotel is bustling with guests during the day, but quiet at night. Our booking included the French buffet breakfast every morning, and that was another highlight of our trip! We ate there literally every morning of our 8-night stay. We had delicious croissants, eggs, cakes & pastries of all sorts, cheese, baguettes, cereals, pancakes, crepes, coffee of all kinds, smoked salmon, ratatouille, fruit, bacon, sausage, juices, and to top it off- the most professional, diligent staff you'll ever meet. What a great start to the morning! After the wonderful breakfast, we were fueled up and ready to hit all the cities along the French Riviera. From the hotel we walked the Promenade, walked to Old Town Nice, walked to the tram, bus and train stations to connect to other towns, and explored Nice with ease. It's a great home base, and adjacent to many major landmarks.. Also, because it is literally waterfront and on the promenade, we fell asleep to the sounds of the ocean every night. I can say that I didn't have a single interaction with the hotel that was negative. Everyone is so professional, helpful, spoke English, and very friendly. This is an honest review, because we chose Hotel West End Nice on our own due to its easy proximity to the beach and the promenade, and from other very positive Google reviews (I learned that Europe does not use Yelp, so I found the few negative Yelp reviews conflicted to the more positive and detailed Google reviews). What a magical stay. We will absolutely be back. Thank you Hotel West End Nice for making our vacation so memorable!

The bathroom has a weird window that looks out into the bed and the only privacy is a cloth curtain that has been growing mold. Gross. Also, the dispenser that holds the shampoo and body wash is held together by some bolts and tape, that is also growing mold. For a four star hotel, it's just a bit too moldy. They could leave the toiletries in a basket that's wipeable on the large corner shelf of the bathtub. Also, many hotels in France don't seem to have hair conditioner, so keep that in mind. The hair dryer was a bit weak too. Otherwise, the balcony was great and the windows were gorgeous overlooking the sea.

The grand central ballroom area is breathtaking, with mixes of classic and modern art adorning the space. It doubles for event space as well as I'm sure the oft weddings reception. Each floor has a different-themed decor as you climb the ornate polished brass-rail staircase (or yes take the elevator), so it's worth exploring all floors for what amounts to a museum visit. Rooms will remind of a bygone era of decadence, and you're steps from the shore across the street. Our visit was for a weekend congress, and it certainly set the standard for any return trips to Nice.

Arrived at the hotel and was treated like a King. As a member of Leading Hotels of the World there was a welcome letter, complimentary toiletries gift set from Lalique, and I received a complimentary 60 minute massage at Le Spa as part of my package. The ascent to my room was epic, starting off with the velvet red elevator with automatic opening doors. As I got off the elevator I was greeted with an assortment of art (which is present on all floors and the common areas). I received an upgrade to a garden room overlooking the Musee Massena and a partial sea view which was magnificent (room 404). The room was well appointed with a super comfortable bed and came equipped with electric blinds that allowed me to sleep after sunrise. Chocolates were left bedside each evening of the stay. Each morning I was offered the breakfast buffet as well as a menu from which I could order specialty items off of such as pancakes and an egg white omelette. Service and food was great. The evenings offered live entertainment in the 1913 and Versailles bars with an outdoor smoking seating option for cigar aficionados. All the staff, particularly the Concierge team, were extremely helpful and made restaurant reservations for me upon request. The hotel also offers a beach club, which I did not take advantage of. The location was great, just 15-20 minutes from the airport, right across the street from Promenade Anglais, a 15-20 minute walk to the Nice-Ville train station, and about 15-20 minute walk to Old Town. I would certainly consider staying here again.

The sun lounge area to the beach is shockingly over occupied with millimetres from sun lounger to sun lounger this is due to the management allowing the public to use all the facilities at a price which leaves the paying guests forced to be packed in like sardines. Why the hell do they allow this to the general public when it's only a small place. They obviously do not care about the paying customers as they have already taken your money which is extremely expensive. The bar area in the late afternoon and evening is the same, small space which would be fine but again open to the general public. Felt really uncomfortable with it being so packed. I blame the manager for this, he was totally rude and did not care about anything. He was totally uneducated with the surrounding area and with his staff. I asked him what restaurant options we had available as it was a Sunday, his reply was "the fancy restaurant " to which I replied you mean the Michelin Star restaurant. WHAT A CLOWN. We are fortunate enough to have a sports car to which we wanted to drive to St Tropez and asked the manager the best way to find a secure parking spot, his reply " get valet parking from one of the hotels in the area, there is a new hotel in the centre which you could do this but can't remember the name, might be Hotel De Paris" I replied saying that hotel has been there for over 20 years. WHAT A CLOWN Overall, extremely poor, not relaxing, not worth the money, poor service. Sea area extremely congested, bar area extremely congested Left this place feeling extremely angry and feel like we have been robbed of a large amount of money. Be warned a lot of the good reviews are from the public using the hotel's facilities

"VIEW, LOCATION, VIEW" The spot is perfect for the beach view and the angel for the sunset. Also, several of their room styles have a balcony, but I do recommend the privilege room which has 2 doors, longer balcony, and in higher floor. My family loves the views so much and we don't miss the sunset every day we stay. Besides that, their breakfast is worth trying as well with the option of $30 euros per person. Although, you may get a better bundle deal when booking, to me, I prefer not to for more chances to try local restaurants. The only downside is their room is tiny even, the privilege room, but the views beat everything else! Also, they don't have parking lot, but it's easy to call Uber for the ride.
