Stayed at Hotel Wilson with my boyfriend for a week in September.

Good points: Central location - the hotel is just a few minutes walk from the main bus station and the old town, and in the other direction a minute from the main shopping street. Everything is easily accessible & it makes a great base.

The decor in the main hallway is charming & welcoming, and the room itself I would describe as shabby chic. The building which houses the hotel is lovely and French, with stained glass etc.

Bad points: Our room was directly over the main road, and it got VERY noisy during the night. Traffic, music, street cleaning at 1am etc. If you suffer from insomnia don't pick this or any other hotel on a busy road!

The 4 flights of stairs up to the hotel can be a bit of a pain after a hot day! Fine if you're healthy but obviously not if you have any kind of mobility problems.

We chose a room with just shower and basin and opted to use the communal toilets. They were fine, but with hindsight I would probably pay the extra to have a toilet in the room, to avoid trekking past people in the morning having their breakfast.

All in all, not a bad experience for the money (we paid 48 euros a night). If you want an economical stay in a good location and want something a little different fron your run of the mill chain hotel, then it's a good choice.

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.
