Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Don’t be fooled by the staid stone exterior: inside, owner Odile Redolfi has enlisted the collective creativity of several well-known artists to make each of the 57 rooms uniquely appealing. Some are frescoed and others are adorned with experimental chandeliers or photographic murals.”

Frommers review:

“The coolest, funkiest, and most friendly hotel in Nice is also one of its best-value lodgings. This maison bourgeoise was built by disciples of Gustav Eiffel in the 1890s and has remained a family-run hotel for three generations.”

Fodors review:

“This is a memorably eccentric hotel—most of its white-on-white rooms either have frescoes of mythological themes or are works of artists’ whimsy—but the real draw at this otherworldly place is its astonishing city-center garden, a tropical oasis of lemon, magnolia, and palm trees, only outdone by the excellent service—and you’re still only three blocks from the beach.”

Central and accessible

The hotel is a short walk away from the Alsace-Lorraine tram station and from here you literally have access to majority of the attractions in Nice.

No complaints!

Great location with cheery 70s vibe with fun artsy interior, but the facility needs some attention.

The hotel has a terrific location, very close to the seaside promenade and good restaurants and cafe in short-distances. The staff were friendly, has a large lobby and garden to hangout, and it was nice to have a pool, covered with big trees to cool off during the hot summer.

The facility, especially the room quality did not seem to be kept up. The bed was too soft and saggy, the curtain did not close fully so you had to wake up early. If you have a back problem, this is not a place for you. And the kettle didn't work, so needed exchange. Lastly, the front steps didn't have a ramp, so not elderly or handicap-friendly.

A really great experience.

The hotel is very different, its jungle restaurant is really lovely. It's an understated hotel with a really relaxed vibe. The customer service is excellent. The location is perfect for the old town, the shops and bars and the beach.

The pool is a little disappointing it is beautiful and very clean but because of the restricted seating areas it is almost impossible to sit in the sun.

Welcoming staff and well proportioned rooms.

Super kind and helpful staff! Big rooms and nice common areas.

The WiFi was a little slow and the rooms are a little dated, but impeccably clean.

I would stay here again and recommend to my friends.

Extremely nice and helpful staff. Super convenient location. Beautiful aesthetic property. Quiet relaxing environment. Spacious room. Saw 2 cats in the garden on the first day.

Bed made a lot of noise, I think it was a little broken but it was fine. Pillows weren’t the most comfortable. Pool wasn’t heated properly as advertised.

Great service at a well positioned hotel

Very quirky

The hotel should lower its prices on breakfast/food , we ate out every morning and night, as a business the hotel should be trying to get OUR money, we’re there to spend so maximise the opportunity don’t let us go elsewhere!

Superb location - good art - nice staff

Excellent location, friendly staff. Quirky arty place. Nice garden.

The pool was small, full of leaves and never saw it being used. It was not what we expected. The room was okay and we loved the balcony, but the bathroom could have been better appointed.

A hotel with a difference.

Great location, lovely to have a balconlovecthe birds and their songs. Great pool.

The hotel would be lovely if weather was nicer and hot but it was a bit too shaded and therefore a little chilly. Lounge was a little dark so not very inviting. A little interesting quiet music here and there might be nice.

Lovely unique hotel

The rooms are very cool (each designed by a different artist), and very comfortable. Plus the location is excellent.

Pool is actually cold. They claim it’s heated, but most of our group found it too cold to swim.

Nice that the hotel was full of Art!

The breakfast was quite expensive and not very elaborated. That is also why we did not buy it after we saw what the breakfast looked like. More convenient to go to a local bakery :). We tried the Sauna and asked the reception to start the sauna. After they told us the sauna should have been warmed up we tried it out.... unfortunately the sauna was not put on correctly so we did not experience a sauna moment. We did also not have the time to try again on another moment. Luckily the staff was so kind to not charge us for the failed sauna moment.

Great location, loved the quikynexx

great location - women at desk very friendly. Amazing supper - great food in evening. Book a table. loved the garden. nice tea selections.

beds did not get made - not service.... when noted to desk on check out man said you did not tell us. Did not know I had to ask ! ;-). The wieghroom needs a big tidy up... quite the mess. Breakfast is lacking - scrambled eggs cold, toaster is slow and only 4 slots for all the guests, and one coffee machine does not cut it. Friendly service.

Another lovely stay in this quaint and stylish hotel

. A lovely big downstairs room which was really quiet. Great location for old town beaches and train station.

Some newer pillows would be good and some way of stopping the lights coming on in the garden in the middle of the night. A bigger breakfast area for wet and cold days.
