I came to this hotel with about 12 other friends for my bet friends hen weekend. This wasnt a luxurious hotel but then we didnt pay for luxury. I was pleasantly surprised though and loved the typically french style rooms. It was immaculate but a little cramped and the view wasnt so great. Nevertheless I would still recommend this hotel for value, location and cleanliness.

Good location. Walking distance to restaurants, near to bus and train stations, shopping, markets, the beach, and sightseeing bus pickup. Hotel staff is very accommodating. Breakfast is good for 8 euros. Rooms, bathrooms and common areas very clean. No elevators, little street noise for rooms facing the street. We had a great stay.

We were very pleased with this hotel. We had room #222 for about $136 a night for four nights. The room looked like it was recently renovated; it was very attractive. It's on the side so it's quieter, plus the room had a little balcony where we could have our picnics when we ate light. We found the hotel restful after a day of sightseeing in Nice. We took the bus from the airport for 4 euro each and walked from the station to the hotel, which worked out fine. The open-air patio off the breakfast room is open all the time and one night we took the dinner that we bought at the store there to eat, and the owner saw that and brought us silverware, napkins, cold water, etc. The staff were very nice. The location is excellent. Besides the grocery store two doors down, there is a big Movenpic 3 blocks straight ahead on rue St. Jean. I was very happy that I had chosen this hotel.

Stayed 8 nights at Lepante in Sept 2007. Typical basic small French hotel. Certainly the antidote to Corporate alternatives .Check in/out efficient, no lift, third floor room minimally furnished, but good bathroom. Every thing spotlessly clean. Good air con (needed early evenings). Did not take breakfast as we found a great deal at a Brioche Doree a hundred metres away at half the price.Great hotel location, easy walk to bus station, for excellent value buses. eg.Only paid 1euro to return to the airport compared with 35 euros in rip off taxi on arrival . Only piad 1.3euros to Menton! Easy walk to train station as well as old town for eating. Felt safe walking even late at night. Only complaint for this hotel was no replenishment of tiny soap tablet - every day - tedious asking for more all the time!
