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.

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.

Fabulous

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!

We loved it (again!)

The location is so central to everything. The markets / beach / promenade & the old town plus the shops. Breakfast is amazing - so much choice ❤️

The pillows on the bed are not that comfortable

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.

It is okey for a short stay

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

A pleasant weekend

Comfortable and clean room, perfect location. We liked breakfast. The staff is supportive.

Even in a 5 floor it was noisy sometimes, mostly from the street. There is not enough light in room in the evenings.

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.

We loved the location and the room was very nice.

Staff was excellent - friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and the location was perfect. Breakfast was quite good and the selection was ample. There is a coffee machine available 24/7.

Wish they had supplied amenities in the bathroom.

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

The location of the hotel was good, the staff were friendly and polite. The room generally was good and quiet. A safe was included in the room for valuables,

The bathroom was a little dated, the shower door had come off its runners so would not close properly. It would have been nice to have an additional tea and milk in the room daily.
