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.

Fabulous

Location is exactly in the city centre. It's short walking distance to all main attractions and exactly next to the Christmas Market. Staff was super polite, helpful and attendant (special thanks to Bouthayna in breakfast restaurant). Place is very friendly and clean and overall is highly recommended. We enjoyed our 3 nights stay so much

Nothing worth mentioning

Great hotel in the heart of Nice

We loved the free upgrade to penthouse suite with terrace. Beautiful room, terrace with views over the town. Great staff, great location, right in the centre but quiet.

Breakfast was good but not at the same level and the breakfast room lacked natural light.

It was a short stay mad all the more pleasant by a fine hotel.

The property is a beautiful treasure of Nice. Situated close to everything good about Nice.

There is nothing I would criticise about the hotel.

A hotel choice that surprised on the upside - a very well run property.

Superb buffet breakfast - fresh Orange Juice, Real honey, proper local cheese and a very wide selection of hot, cold savoury and sweet foods. Location is perfect - close to trams, Old Town, Promenade Anglais and shopping.

Toilet room was separate to bathroom (good) but a little small (not so good - but manageable.)

Amazing location, has all you need, a bit pricey

The hotel is very well-located, right next to Massena station and next to the rue which is loaded with restaurants. It is also near the main street (Av. Jean Médecin) and pretty close to the promenade (walking distance). Extremely convenient location for everything you need to see and do in Nice. Staff very friendly. Room was clean. We enjoyed our stay!

The room (Standard Double Room) was relatively small for the price (I found better hotels for less nearby - so I wouldn't consider it 'good value for money'). It seemed quite old (wooden doors, etc. - but clean and maintained). The bathroom and shower were in 2 separate rooms (not a huge problem, but letting you know in case it bothers you). Nothing problematic overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location and comfortable rooms

There was nothing I could point out, except maybe the internet that had to be constantly reconnected but that is the case in many hotels, that was below expectations or a bit disappointing. Everything was consistent and accurate.

Very good for my purpose of seeing my son in Ironman World Championship

Very central location yet quiet. Very pleasant staff. Great breakfast. Catered for the early start for Ironman ie breakfast started at 4.30 am

Slightly tired about the edges. No outside space at all but near too the square

A lovely stay in the loveliest area of Old Nice.

The room was comfortable and even had a small balcony. The most important trait is the hotel's centrality, very close to the beach, two minutes from the beautiful Massena square, and yet very quiet.the staff was very efficient. Every single wish of ours was met instantly. The breakfast was lavish and fresh.

Excellent service, location, room, cleanliness, breakfast selection. Ruhr Plage a bit far, not major. Discount of other hotels is better for day stay.

Wash closet too small, way too small and sink should be next to it, logistics of this does not work,
