Hotel Le Windsor, Nice

We like everything about this hotel. The staff are always helpful from restaurant recommendations to helping with a SIM card installment. We have been returning since 1980 so they must be doing something right.

The informal atmosphere and the staff.

The room was too small and needed an update.

Great hotel, superb staff. Absolutely lovely garden, dominated by huge shading rubber tree, with pool. We paid extra for the sauna use, which was fine. Evening meals not served every day but wonderful restaurants with local area. We stand twice there with the same Nice holiday (either side of a wedding in the foothills of the Alps).

nothing

Fantastic quirky boutique hotel in great location! Rooms were very spacious which was very helpful with large suitcases. Staff were very welcoming. 10 min walk to Nice train station which was great for getting train to Monaco.

Nothing

Female receptionist who checked us in extremely helpful. One gentleman receptionist could be a bit brusque. We didn’t want breakfast in the hotel - just a cappuccino - we were told to get one from the machine - charged EUR5 each

The facility is interesting

The rooms are small, and the bed was not very comfortable.

thought the pool needed attention

It’s a good location, near to beach and old town. I liked the garden and the small pool. Nice size room and very clean.

Excellent breakfast choice and well looked after from replenishment and service

Location and service

Breakfast not excellent

Location in the carre d’or area of Nice. Good breakfast available and the jacuzzi bath in our room was amazing !

Comfy bed, beautiful hotel

Slightly outdated decor, plus... Weird that you have to boil your own eggs! The bathroom was slightly too small.

Great location just outside the old town, in a quiet street, walking distance from the waterfront. Very spacious, light, high-ceiling rooms. Parking (book ahead). Cute artsy interior. Very helpful staff.

Nothing wrong here.

Location and ambience of the hotel. Large comfortable bedroom with plenty of storage/ hanging and a huge triangular whirlpool bath. Lovely view over the garden.

Breakfast was ok but the evening meal was uninspiring. There were absolutely NO vegetables other than boiled potatoes and no green vegetables on offer. The meats and fish were well prepared but 5 a day... forget it!! The sweets were even more uninspired. Cordon bleu it was not.

The hotel garden

The bath room very small and with shower curtain

The bed excellent, breakfast was good and staff friendly

The air conditioning didn’t work properly the layout of the bathroom was not ideal (separate toilet with no sink)

The rooms where clean and quirky. Staff were excellent

Some of the guests felt it was quite noisy, in the night from the street. Pillows a little uncomfortable

Characterful building, lovely staff

Hotel Windsor is a very personal and familiar place to stay and with great style and comfort. It is a great location, close to tram stop to/from airport, SNCF station, seafront and main part of the city. The streets around are lively but remain quiet and away from the main tourist areas. The rooms overlooking the garden have a nice balcony with a view of the "jungle". Rooms are spacious and well presented. First stayed around 10 years ago and nice to be back.

Main room and bathroom are nicely set out. Some aspects need a refresh such as the bedside cabinets and some decoration in the toilet, which is perfectly functional but rather basic.

The room size, the bed was great. Incredibly clean, all of the staff were lovely. We also booked a massage in the hotel. One of the best I have ever had. Really easy to get to the beach & restaurants. Breakfast was really good especially for solo travellers as they don’t clear your table away if you let them know where you are sitting.

This is being really picky but the bath tub has digs in it not sure how they could have been made. The other issue is sound proofing. My friend had the room above me I could hear her toilet flushing. I also heard the couple next door having sex and then him vomiting a lot.

Comfortable and quirky

Very small bathroom, hard pillows

Breakfast was good and nice variety room was clean Location in perfect

the garden was not as pictured, not so clean and smaller - the pool is disconnected and you can barely see it you need to book all spa elements in advance (keep this in mind while you're booking to plan ahead) Room was clean and nice but the decoration is nothing like the pictures- and the view was in the end of the garden, so i barely could see it from my room.

Very friendly and helpful supportive staff.

The Breakfast was not really worth the money. I would have whisked about more fruits and variety.

An exceptional property, charming and interesting in a very good location with a magnificent garden. A secret girl.

Breakfast

We liked the emphasis on art and the garden. Location was excellent as well. Breakfast was handled well and the seating flexibility using the garden was a huge plus.

We booked a small room and that is what we got.

The hotel is very stylish, the pool is perfect for an afternoon swim, the garden really feels like jungle, the breakfast is good.

There was no electricity when the light was switched off. Made harder to charger our phones.

Excellent location, walking distance to the beach, train station and the old town.

N/a

Loved the quirky style of the hotel and the staff were exceptionally friendly. It was really easy to walk to main areas like the promenade, the old town and the train station. I had a quiet afternoon one day and the garden was a lovely setting to sit with a book and a glass of wine.

The bathroom was very small so a little uncomfortably tight.

Excellent location, continental breakfast good, room size excellent

Everything was as we expected

through no fault of their own, it was a very noisy night with roadworks going on. I asked for the quietest room available and I believe the front of staff house switched me to a room farther from the work. It didn't eliminate the issue, but it did help, and furthermore I was given a discount on the night's stay, which was unexpected and appreciated. The hotel is a little bit spartan in some ways but it isn't like any other hotel I know of and I like its off-beat decor. The garden outside is magnificent. Breakfast is fine--try the lemon jam on your toast or baguette.

I had coffee outside in the lovely garden and it seems staff use a small area outside and directly below the terrace to have their breaks--it got quite loud but I could move back indoors and the front lobby is comfortable and roomy.

Location was excellent, very central but was also quiet.

Staff fabulous ! Couldn’t do enough, room was clean and well equipped. It was refreshing to stay in a hotel that wasn’t straight lines and smooth surfaces. The quirky art rooms ,age of the building and jungle gardens were fabulous !

Breakfast , needed a little shake up . Just to make it a bit different each day .

Really Nice and friendly

Breakfast good, evening meals we had 3, lovely and good value, amazing garden, room excellent, staff very friendly and helpful. Art everywhere!

Room not cleaned one day. otherwise all fine.

The breakfast experience I would rate as poor, this was the only time that the staff were not helpful when asked for an extra plate was told you have one on your table & that’s it, i still don’t understand why you were only “ allowed one plate “ the quality of the juices was poor & the general selection was only average

The general ambience of the hotel was lovely & except from above statement the staff were excellent very helpful & friendly nothing was too much trouble for them

I'd say there are hotels that are more luxurious, comfortable, value for money, but this hotel has real personality and charm and super friendly staff. The rooms are spacious and unique, the outside garden/terrace really really nice. I also found the area superb, just far enough away from the masses, close to the beach and lively bars and restaurants as well.

Like I said, I've stayed in rooms with better beds, toilets, showers, but few have as much character and style.

The room was lovely and it looked like it had been recently updated/renovated. It had mostly everything we needed.

The breakfast was ok. The scrambled eggs could have been cooked more. They were a little mushy. For $18 EU which is about $20-21 US $ I expected more. The chopped fruit looked like it came from a can vs fresh cut. The hotel should supply shampoo and conditioner for hair

A wonderful experience! This hotel was clean, great A/C, and great location. We were impressed by how clean the hotel room was. As Americans, we value a very cold room while sleeping and their A/C worked wonderfully! Our room was next to the elevator but we could not hear anyone from that or above us. Location-wise, everything is within walking distance.

The WIFI did not work well. Only one person in the room could be on It at a time for it to work.

location was good

room and hotel needed updating

The area is wonderful - central to all amenities . Old Town, Beach, Railway station . Wonderful staff who are very helpful and friendly

Loved all of it

The swimming pool was a little untidy

Great location and groovy cool outdoor patio restaurant area.

Tiny elevator, but actually big enough.

Calm and peaceful Loved the garden and art work Some quirky features which were well presented Great dinner served in tranquil surroundings Friendly and helpful staff

Location. Friendly staff. Garden.

Little bit tired in places.

The room was very clean and tidy. The location was perfect, only ten minute walk from the railway station and 10 minutes to the sea front. Plenty of places to eat and drink nearby to the hotel.

Would have preferred a walk in shower, rather than an over the bath shower, for easier accessibility. Also, power points for charging phones and plugging in kettle were in awkward places, not easy to reach. Exiting the swimming pool was difficult due to the ladder being rather shaky, especially for an older person.

The location was brilliant. It was only a few minutes walk to the train station (Nice Ville)), the tram, the centre of nice and the beach. The hotel had a nice arty vibe and the staff were pleasant to deal with. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. We had a balcony overlooking the street which was nice to sit out on. Room and kettle and fridge which were handy to have. We asked for rooms with balconies and got them.

The beds at the pool were constantly in the shade of the trees with birds sitting in the branches (primarily pigeons) overhead. There were only about 8 beds at the pool and there was no option to have a snack at the pool. The hotel did not serve food during the day. While I like the idea of individual artists designing the hotel rooms and each room being different, I would expect that in a four star hotel the rooms would be tastefully decorated. Our room was very nice. However, my daughter and her partner were given a room which was painted orange, had writing on the walls and wardrobe doors and had too many mirrors and a reflective ceiling. The room was simply horrible and I would have expected better.

Fabulous location, quiet area but very close to all Nice's highlights. Friendly staff, Jerome and colleagues made us very welcome. Magical terrace and pool/tropical garden.

Slightly flaky e-mail on top floor (had to manually re-connect a few times, but not a huge deal).

Excellent staff, friendly and obliging. Good sized room with lovely garden view. Good breakfast, not great, but very pleasant and one day served in the garden. Lovely. Warm pool. Lovely greenery in the heart of the city. Location perfect, close to beach, old town and good shopping and restaurants.Nice artwork all around.

Hand-held shower with fluctuating water temperature. No bedside tables, and almost useless bedside lamps.
