“Loved it. Stayed an extra night.”
The best part about this place is the family who runs it. The second is that it’s clean, and rooms on the inside (away from the street) can be really quiet and dark. (They have shutters and solid curtains). I rented a single room and the price, for Nice, was great. The mattress was a bit on the flimsy side (it’s on top of a frame and moves around a bit) but it was supportive, as was the pillow. Each day, my bed was made, fresh towels were given and bathroom was cleaned. Air conditioning worked fine.
The neighborhood, at first glance, is a bit seedy—it’s *behind* the train station. Which is actually more quiet and residential than the area in front of the train station . . . and I preferred it. (I’d rather get a place in the main harbor than in front of the train station.) But the real drawback—for me, a single woman—was walking underground through the tunnel to get behind the train station. During the day, it’s fine and populated, but after 10 it can be super sketchy. However, it can be avoided. I'm pretty sure you can walk a little farther on and not have to go beneath the tunnel.
All in all, this location is preferred to the places in front of the train station. And while I was bummed on arrival to find out that it wasn’t in the main harbor area of Nice, I actually found it much more convenient. I ended up riding trains two days in a row so being right near the main station was perfect.
Breakfast is given (a croissant and baguette) at an add'l cost of 5.50 euro. There's free internet in the lobby and some of the rooms. And the family are dolls. They're so sweet and warm and helpful.
