The hotel is in an excellent location in the centre of Nice. We were very pleased with our rooms there was 5 of us we had a twin and a triple room the twin was of a standard size the triple was large with 4 large windows looking over a busy corner of bars and restaurants which we really liked..
I was on holiday with 4 friends all female and we all felt safe walking back to the hotel in the evening.
You can catch the No. 98 bus from the airport and it drops you at the top of the road for the Harvey and costs 4 euro, as we were unsure of where the hotel was we took a taxi and because there was 5 of us we had to have two taxis costing 30 euro per taxi. We caught the bus on our return journey it takes about 20mins.
We caught a bus from the bus station to Monaco which only cost 2 euro return (unbelievable really) very pretty trip as it is mostly around the coast line and takes about 30 mins. The bus station is about a 15 min walk from the hotel. Everything is easily reached on foot from the Harvey.
5 euro for breakfast - orange juice tea coffee hot chocolate and a small basket of pastries croissants rolls - basic but worth it as a coffee is about 4 euro in a cafe. We had a really enjoyable 3 night stay and wanted to stay longer.

The hotel location attracted me to book it, but I would warn other travellers from falling for that. The hotel rooms overlook pedestrian restuarants and bars that are open after midnight. The noise level is unbelieveable and even if you shut the windows its is still bad. The bed sheets were also dirty and had some stains on them. Avoid Harvey as much as you can.

We arrived by foot and negotiated a double room for 2 nights for 75 Euro per night. We received a very quiet and clean room. The staff was friendly and spoke great English, while the location was 1 block from the beach. Although there was WiFi offered at an outrageous price, there was a free hot spot across the street in the park and at McDonald's on the corner.

Three star centrally located hotel with nothing too much to offer or to complain about either.

Staff are pleasant if not too informative, and although the rooms are fairly basic, you do get a bath and shower, a small TV (which shows BBC World and occasionally CNN), plus noisy (and not always effective) air conditioning. I should add that all comments refer to Room 107 - I did not see the others, but all seemed identical, although the hotel boasts a few with balconies facing on to the street. One point though - fellow guests complained about the rooms on the top floor, and so avoid those if you can.

Walls are paper thin, which - if your hearing is good - can lead to some interesting conversations!

Beds are not too bad - a double bed appeared to be two single beds bolted together however - with no pillows (in 107 anyway) but the usual European bolster effort.

Breakfast is pretty basic, but at 5 euro, is on par for what 5 euro will get you on the streets anyway, so do not bother going shopping for early morning treats.

Service is relatively efficient, although on Sunday, room service was absent (in 107 anyway), which may have simply been an error.

Basically, at the Harvey, you are paying for a basic level of comfort, plus an enhanced position in Nice itself.

At the Harvey, you are minutes away from the seafront, yards away from the restaurants and shops, five minutes from the magnificent Place Messena, and 15 minutes away from both the Old Town, and the Railway Station, where the one train can put you in Cannes, Monaco, or indeed Italy, in less than 30 minutes.

Perhaps there is better value in Nice, but having looked at a few others in the same area, it is much of a muchness.

Basically a hotel to sleep and breakfast in - which given the wealth of treasures around you - is all you want anyway.
