“Unreasonable hidden extras”

Le Meridien Nice

2 of 5 stars
London, United Kingdom
Sep 7, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed in deluxe room with balcony overlooking park and beach. Clean and refurbished - quality as expected for price and star rating but nothing special. Glanced into some of the standard rooms which had not been refurbished and would not recommend them.

Breakfast good. I usually went around 9.30. People who went earlier told me it was a bit of a scrum at that time due to numbers - it is all self service buffet style.

No tea/coffee making facility in room.
Extra charge for using hotel gym which is very small.
Overpriced spa treatments.
Overpriced minibar contents eg coke or orange juice 6.5 Euro, mini bottle vodka/gin 9 Euros
Small pool that was clean and OK most of the time as not crowded, but I suspect they intentionally accomplish that by charging 10 Euro per sun lounger per day or 8 Euro if after 1pm. Really adds to the costs for a family. No place to put clothes and towels if you don't hire loungers.

These sort or mean aspects of the Hotel had the effect of making me not wish to spend any more in the Hotel than necessary, whereas if these things had been free, as in most other quality hotels around the world, then I would have been inclined to have dinner, spa treatments etc at the hotel. Instead I spent that money elsewhere.

After I left, I remembered that the only other time I'd experienced this kind of penny pinching was at Le Meridien, New York - so I won't book a Le Meridien again. I am sure one can get better value and attitude at other 4 star hotels.

Good location, but make sure you wander to the old town and not stay in immediate area.
Beach stony and uncomfortable and difficult for little children to get into sea as it has a steepish drop over stones. Better beaches a short bus ride away - eg Villefranche. (Use bus when possible as taxis are ridiculously expensive - eg 35 Euro from airport to hotel which is about 5 miles - 4 Euro on good clean bus with suitcase storage area).

“Couldn't have been better!”

Le Meridien Nice

Sep 4, 2008

We had a nice quiet room overlooking the courtyard. I was a bit apprehensive before we arrived due to some of the reviews I had read in TA, but pleasantly surprised. The staff was great, helpful, and the private beach across the road great too. Perfect location for our family of three. They put an extra bed in for our 12 year old.
Would stay there again !!!

“Fantastic Location, Great Pool”

Le Meridien Nice

Sep 1, 2008

Booked this by cashing in my Starwoods Points. The US call centre hadn't passed on the fact that this was for a family room and there are restrictions against having more than one child in a standard hotel room..

Claudia on the front desk was really helpful and arranged a fantastic upgrade, just when we thought it had all gone pear shaped and we were going to be stuck with paying extra

Hotel was clean, pool was superb and refreshing. and yes you can pop up their for a dip without having to buy a drink, though to be honest the view over the bay is well worth paying for.

The staff were polite and helpful from the doormen to the lifeguard and there was no evidence of building work which may have put people off in the past.

It isn;t cheap, but it was a great start to a holiday in Provence.

“nice hotel..”

Le Meridien Nice

1/1 found this review helpful

we stayed at this hotel in aug 2008 it was nice but couldnt understand the fact you paid for the loungers at the pool or if you chose to go to the beach across the road form the hotel you also pay for the loungers there.i think most of the hotels there charge for their loungers and also for car parking.
hotel itself is nice breakfast is fantastic there and the location of this hotel is also very good.

“Great Location, Decent Hotel”

Le Meridien Nice

4 of 5 stars
Philadelphia
Aug 25, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I was concerned by some of the reviews of the hotel, but have had good experiences with this brand so decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. I have stayed at La Perouse and at the Beau Rivage previously. This time I was traveling with my 2 year old. The location and pool were big issues for me. The location is great - on the Promenade and a short walk to old town. The Carousel in the park opposite the hotel is great for the little ones. We had a balcony in our room - so we could sit out when our toddler was sleeping. The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. The pool was great for a little one - not very big but not crowded and a nice lounge area. Food service at the pool was nice also. I'd stay here again. We didnt make it to the hotel beach - we took the train to Villefranche. Its 8 mins by train and there is a sandy (sandy-ish!) beach there.
