Pedro and his female college were the friendliest people we’ve met on our trip. Their dog, Tommy, was so well behaved and loves to play with his toys. Pedro steered us to Old Nice and the sunset overlook where we had a great time.
I very much recommend this hotel.

The customer service desk was very friendly and helpful. We needed a lot of info about the area and requested several things and they were very accommodating. The location is great. The area can be a little noisy when garbage trucks come through at odd hours or people are on the street late at night, but ear plugs help. Overall the room was comfortable, but very tight in space. The pictures online look much bigger.

Hotel basic but clean as was the bedroom which had a comfy bed ( less so the pillows).
Very helpful polite staff: on check in quickly changing my room due the room safe not working.
Also let me leave case on checkout for collection later.
No breakfast to speak of: croissant and coffee. No lift.
Good for main tram link to the shops/airport and beach ( also walkable in 20 minutes)

Property location was great, right off the main strip, not far from the beaches or old nice. The air conditioning worked very well.
The rooms were still dirty and had some damage to the door. We were moved to another room which wasnt much better. There were some small bugs.
It was a very budget hotel. It would be fine if you are solo or arent expecting any amenities.

Nice stay
Amazing staff, who were very helpful! Room was clean but very basic, only a bed and wall unit small dressing table and chair, with small bathroom. No where to put anything. If you were staying more than 2 nights it’s not really suitable. When I booked I thought we’d booked a balcony. So we could sit and have a coffee and some breakfast. But no balcony. And looked out onto a wall. Great central location, close to everything.

Good but tiny rooms
The staff are very friendly, location is great, breakfast is limited but great quality, BUT! The rooms are super small and tiny, including the toilet. I would accept this in normal conditions but the photos didn’t show that rooms are such small. There is no space to put luggage, there is space to walk around the bed, also the bed is very tiny, and sitting in the toilet will make my knees touch the wall!

Bit of a mixed review. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. They were lovely throughout. The hotel itself was perfectly fine just lacking a little bit. We only used the hotel as a base to explore the city from at it was fine in this regard. The neighbourhood was very noisy though so it was difficult to sleep, the beds did not help with this either. Only other complaint would be the Wi-Fi which didn’t really work at all and when it did was very limited. Overall a decent place with friendly staff.

This is a very good and very centrally located hotel. If you value convenience and being 10-15 mins' walk to the beach, the old town and the station, then it's a very good option. Salma on reception deserves a special mention for her friendliness and attempts to address our questions and requests. Much appreciated- thank you, Salma!
Room seemed to be recently refurbished but did lack some basics like hooks to hang towels. Aircon worked but WiFi didn't. Cleaners came daily, which was great, and when prompted they changed bedsheets.
Within two minutes' walk you have a supermarket, a shopping centre, cafes and restaurants and the tram interchange giving easy access to most of Nice.
All in all, Hotel Nice Etoile was very good value for money.

The checkin was easy. All the staff were pleasant and answered all my questions. I had a room three floors up (no elevator). The A/C worked well. The TV had no English channels, but that was OK. The bathroom door was this flimsy wooden folding door; I was afraid to push it to full closure for fear it would fall down, which meant it was impossible to make the room dark for early mornings or naps.
The continental breakfast was grim. The espresso machine that worked less and less each day to the point of only making hot chocolate.
My main concern was a large dog that moved around the first floor. His owners no doubt know him to be friendly and good-natured, but he is an unfamiliar dog to me, and I prefer he be leashed or kept behind a gate (they have one but don’t use it).
One morning around 7am, an alarm went off. There was no attempt to ensure that guests went downstairs, nor were guests told it was a false alarm. In fact I never received any communication before, during or after that explained the alarm. This is serious to me. Furthermore, as I was heading down the stairs (only I responded to the alarm), the dog was behind one of the doors on the stair landing. This time he was very agitated from the alarm and was snarling and barking. I knew they were about to open the door and felt very vulnerable on the stairs. I yelled “hold the dog” several times and got down the stairs. I do not want this kind of stress when I traveling.

The location was great and the staff were helpful and friendly. The online pictures were misleading. My room was in disrepair. The whole hotel smelled horribly of cigarette smoke, including the room. If I hadn’t already prepaid, I would have changed hotels.
