Went over to attend a football match in Monaco, and stayed for 5 nights.
The reviews for the Hotel Wilson are generally very fair. I am convinced it rates so well because it is extremely good value only about 50euro per night. You should not go there expecting the rooms to be wonderful, because they aren't. Ours (Rm 7) was tiny, and whilst clean was something of an unwelcomed shock when we checked in. My wife really didn't want to unpack. The staff however and the location proved excellent.
The hotel is well situated for the centre of Nice, and only 5 minutes walk from the bus station, main shopping and Old Town, and about 15 mins from the Railway Stn.
Breakfast each morning e5.50 was just ideal. We spent most days taking a trip either by bus or train to one of the nearby towns or villages (Train - Monaco & Cannes, Bus - Eze & Cap Ferrat). We thought the bus at 1euro was best.
Eating out was hit or miss, most places we found were only OK but a restaurant named Grand Bleu (or similar) in Coeurs Salaya should definetely be avoided.
Hotel Wlson - great value but not somewhere that we would return to.

Booked the Hotel Wilson following the reviews on Tripadviser and were really pleased we did! Great location - 5 minutes from beach and only a couple of minutes from the main bus station (Gare Routiere). Really handy for the bus to/from airport.

Spotlessly clean basic accommodation and very reasonably priced. Hotel owner also very friendly and helpful. Didn't bother with the hotel breakfast as there were excellent cafes - both next door and opposite the hotel.

Only downside is there was no air conditioning. However, all of the positives far outway this and it would not put us off staying at this hotel again.

This was one of the best value accommodation I ever stayed in. Very friendly owners and very accommodating. Brilliant location, close to everyway and off the tourist track. Top top accommodation for a budget conscious traveller. Clean rooms and beds. Ecletic deco, a different deco in every room! And a very knowledgeable receptionist who is also the owner.

The Hotel Wilson is in a fantastic location next to Les Galeries Lafayette. The rooms are basic but comfortable and each decorated with a distinct character. During our 10 days at the hotel, we stayed in 3 different rooms due to the popularity of the hotel during peak season. The security at the hotel is excellent, with access gained through a fingerprint reader.

Overall, the Hotel Wilson met our expectations as a low cost hotel in what is a very expensive city. Everyone there was friendly and helpful and the rooms were simple and clean.

The experience was marred slightly by the lack of air conditioning which meant that we were forced to sleep with the windows open - no one warned us the the mosquitoes in Nice had killer instincts and we both suffered night time attacks and rather nasty bites!

Also, there were problems with the WiFi which meant that this was not working for 7 days out of the 9 we were there. This was disappointing as it was one of our must-haves when we were choosing a hotel for our stay in Nice.
