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.

Excellent location but nothing fancy or special about the rest of the hotel facilities.

Great choice of various kinds of milk, decent breakfast but nothing fancy or outstanding. No poached or fried eggs but they do have scrambled eggs and the possibility to boil ur own eggs. Not enough fresh fruits, but there are pancakes and crepes.

The breakfast was excellent, a very well prepared buffet style with a good selection and mix of freshly prepared and presented foods. With efficient friendly staff.

The room was somewhat old fashion with a poor lay out A small, seperate toilet and awkwardly accessible bathroom. The ouside balcony area was scruffy and in need of some minor repairs and general maintenance. The bed, however, was very comfortable. The bed was, however, very comfortabke

Decent value for money in a central location

Excellent central location; reasonable value for money; no real facilities; breakfast pricey so we ate out instead.

Lack of facilities; cost of breakfast; a bit tired and soulless.

we loved the staff and breakfast service. I also liked the makeup mirror, closet space, fridge, and cleaning service.

Our room was warm even though the AC was on max, our room was worn out with visible damage on some walls, our shower was cramped and hard to use. There were not enough plugs and USB chargers available.

Great location, wonderful staff, small room, pricey

Hotel in excellent location. The staff was knowledge, accommodating and very attentive to our needs. The breakfast offer is very good with lots of variety.

Poor value as room was very small with limited lighting and bathroom had nowhere to set anything. The refrigerator while would be a bonus didn't keep things cold. And breakfast fee was expensive.

Location was great! just off the main square, place Massena. Hotel was great. It was clean, lovely polite and helpful staff. Definitely worth the money. Would 100% stay here again and definitely recommend

Positives definitely outweighed the negatives, and I’d consider staying here again for the great

I had a great stay overall! The location is superb—very convenient and close to everything, which made getting around super easy. The staff were also really friendly and helpful throughout our stay, which added a nice personal touch.

The room had a bidet that was placed separately from the toilet, which felt a bit uncomfortable, especially when sharing the room with someone else. Also, parking isn’t free—it costs €35 per night, which I found a bit on the expensive side.

Amazing location, nice and efficient staff and clean

The location is top notch, the staff is good and efficient. The breakfast was great

My room on the second floor was facing the back of building with big ugly pipes but the room was well sound proof so could not hear noise while sleeping . May be changing the thin curtains would be something to consider as they are rather worn out …

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!
