Hotel Massena, Nice

58, Rue Gioffredo, 06000 Nice, France (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“The plush Hotel Massena, which occupies an ornate 1906 Beaux Arts building, has also benefited from an ambitious recent renovation. The lobby exudes bachelor-pad chic — red velvet chairs, black leather couches, abundant mirrors — while the sleek rooms mix Mediterranean colors with black-and-white photos of classic cinema and music legends.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Nice, France.

What guests liked

All you need to know

Hotel Massena is a chic boutique hotel, located near the beautiful Old Town of Nice. Its charming character welcomes guests with its contemporary yet artistic design and luxurious Belle Epoque façade. Located moments from the Promenade des Anglais seafront, the hotel is a sophisticated stay in the most scenic area of Nice, with the Massena Plaza located right outside.

The hotel is modern yet elegant which can be expected from the Best Western Hotel group of which it is part. However, the city’s glamorous reputation has helped to define the hotel which itself has over a century’s worth of history.

The hotel is extensive with 110 guest rooms, and offers excellent amenities which include private valet parking, and access to the Ruhl private beach club. A buffet breakfast is served daily to guests with continental or American-style options, and the bar is open to guests until 11 p.m. daily.

Guest rooms are modern with a contemporary design and offer a comfortable retreat to relax in. Single, and double rooms are available for solo travelers and couples, whereas families can enjoy the extra space of the Privilege rooms or adjoining double rooms.

Each room has Juliette balconies overlooking the city and private ensuite bathrooms with modern facilities. Rooms are also fitted with high-tech TVs, mini-fridges, and complimentary Wi-Fi and children are more than welcome to stay at the hotel. Well-behaved dogs are also catered for.

With a wonderful location right next to the Promenade du Paillon Park located opposite the hotel, it is an ideal stay for families or anyone wishing to be close to the scenic Old Town area of Nice.

Great hotel in a perfect location

The staff are very enthusiastic, personable, friendly and pleasant. They are superb! The location couldn't be better. Get the Tram2 from the airport and it's approx 8 min walk or less from where the tram drops you off at Jean Medecin. It's right beside Massena Plaza which is within walking distance of everywhere. The breakfast was really good with great staff. The bed was huge and very comfortable. I would definitely come back here

A very comfortable and pleasant stay in an ideal location

The location is excellent, a short walk to main shopping area, the old town Promenade des Anglais and main attractions. Also , the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The extra large bed was very comfortable.

There was one waitress on one morning who practically rushed us out the door when finishing breakfast at 11.10. She took everything off the table that we weren’t using. Luckily we only met her on one morning out of four. All the other staff at breakfast were very pleasant.

We enjoyed our stay. Nice is beautiful and the location of the hotel was excellent.

Location. Good buffet breakfast. Friendly staff.

The room was not the one I expected. The size and furnishings did not match the deluxe room as shown on their website. Also, it was impossible to turn on the water in the bathtub/shower without first stepping into the tub. The staff were informed but were unable to fix the problem.

Excellent location, great staff, tasty breakfast! Would stay again.

All the high standards of Best Western located minutes from the beach and easy walking distance of many bars and restaurants in old town too. Also located conveniently close to the tram line but on a quiet street. Staff were super helpful and very gracious. Breakfast was excellent, very delicious! Value for money very good too.

Minor: the walls were a little thin in my room, occasionally could hear other guests’ conversations.

Nice hotel, great location. Wonderful town.

The location is great. Close to everything. The breakfasts were very good as well. The room was nice.

The hotel does not have a gym, bar or restaurant. I wanted to have a drink in the lobby before dinner but that is not possible. You also can not eat dinner at the hotel. The good news is there are tons of great restaurants close by, but if you have mobility issues (I was 2 weeks post hip surgery and limited in my walking ability) it forces you to walk to get food.

The location is very central, all places are within walking distance. The reception team was very friendly and lovely. The breakfast was really good. There was a lot of delicious selection of macarons and croissants. Our room was clean and big. We like that the toilet is separated from the bathroom so you don't have to wait for your family members :)

None. Everything was good!

Best!

The location is fantastic! It's a tourist's dream come true! Everything is walking distance (what I mean is hop,skip & jump), be it LaPlage or Messina square!

Breakfast could have been better, the restaurant cleanliness & service needs work.

Nice and friendly recepción. Offered me “to go breakfast” because I’ve checked out very early

The windows aren’t soundproof at all so the birds outside were too loud

Would stay again, lovely hotel.

The hotel is in a great location. Everything is easily accessible from there, the old town, shops, numerous restaurants, the promenade. Best time to visit when its still warm and sunny but cooler in the evenings also the Christmas village is here in December. Great also for excursions to Monaco, Eze, Monte Carlo, Cannes and Antibes. The breakfast at the hotel was great, serving from 7am until 11am and lots of variety hot and cold. The staff were also very courteous and helpful and the hotel looked lovely festively decorated.

We found the large double bed to be two single beds put together, which is probably the norm for the room if twin beds are required, however we found them to be a little hard and dipping to the side. Also the pillows were too hard. The ensuite could do with redecorating and the basin also had a large crack in it. We would book a different room if we went again.

Great location and price

Great location, staff very friendly. When I first arrived, the woman I think Francousca was here name was very helpful and friendly, showed me how to get the tram, train and places to visit, and a very welcoming person and nothing was a hassle to her

The only thing I didn't like and it's not a moan as you adapt to it,is the toilet is in a different room to the shower and sink, means you do the toilet then touch door handles etc to wash your hands. But that wasn't a problem just something myself personally didn't like
