Expert reviews
“Charging modest prices for a spectacular view from the top end of the seafront, where the promenade winds around to the port, the acclaimed Hôtel Suisse far outclasses most other hotels in this price range, although be prepared for a small reception area and a très petit elevator.”
“On a rocky promontory looking down upon the curving Baie des Anges, Hôtel Suisse commands the best sea views in Nice. This chocolate-box-pretty luxury hotel is popular with couples and single travellers who want to explore the Old Town and port on its doorstep.”

Great location. Close to the old town and views right along the sea front . Also a short walk to the marina . The markets nearby are fab. The staff are very good and excellent breakfast

A very pleasant stay
Location was perfect! Great views too.
The breakfast service was disorganised and very ‘Fawlty Towers’ but we did receive profuse apologies for the confusion and delays in the service provided.

We enjoyed it, but our last minute booking made it more expensive than we'd like.
The location was excellent, adjacent to the old town, the hill and the beach. Balcony was big enough for 2 to eat on. Breakfast was a buffet, not very big, but every item on it was good quality. The breakfast staff were attentive and polite.
The room was small, given its price. Furniture in the room was basic. It felt like a 3 star in that respect.

Amazing view and location!
We loved this hotel. The view was exactly as shown on the website, which was amazing. The room was nice and a good size and there was a great little patio. The front desk attendants were helpful and kind. The location was absolutely perfect! There was no parking at the hotel, but they did have a couple of temporary parking spots for you to load and unload luggage, which was convenient.
It was very difficult to take a shower without drenching the floor in water. Also, at first we were only provided with one bath towel, no hand towels and no floor mat, so we didn't have a good way to mop up all of the water on the floor.

Fab location and did the job for watching the Tour de France but tiny room and very basic
The location and balcony was fab for watching the Tour de France which is why we were there
The room was tiny - for what we paid - £1000 a night - I was underwhelmed

The bed is not a single big bed, it is combined with two beds and me and my kid keep fall into the gap of the beds. Second the hotel floor not clean and quit old to be honest.

Outstanding location at reasonable price
all rooms with excellent view on the Promenade and the panorama of Nice - location very close to the old town and short walking distance (1 km) to the tram going directly to the airport
bit noisy in the night if you decide to sleep with open windows

Very good
Staff was exceptionally responsive to enquiries and requests.
Only hotel in recent memory that did not provide bottled water as a standard feature. If you wanted bottled water, you had to go to a local store and buy your own or overpay for it from the mini bar. Not a big deal, just out of the ordinary.

Location is perfect
The location is perfect! Once we arrived early in the morning, we checked in and checked our bags with the hotel because our room was not ready. We walked over to the beach and then to the cutest market. We were called about our room being ready and headed over. We could walk to dinner every night and to beach clubs during the day. The beds were comfortable, but the coffee machine didn't always work. The hotel was having construction done, it didn't destub me because I don't sleep in but I could see that being an issue with some people.
The coffee machine didn't always work, and the shower wall (glass) wasn't fully attached, and I was worried I'd break it more. The room didn't have much room to store our clothing, as we were on a very long trip; we had four bags. And I believe the A/C only works at night.

Beautiful South of France.
Perfect location for Old Town and views across the bay. Comfortable stay and everything we needed.

Mixed Feelings
Loction was great, near to Restaurants, Shops and the Beach.
The room we were given was alot smallet than we expected. A room with a sea view was booked however a massive tree facing the property obscured the view. Felt uncomfortable with a member of hotel staff knocking on the door early in the evening everyday giving us chocolates, this would have been kind if they had just not walked in after first knock.

Nice hotel but very noisy at night
The location was amazing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good and the staff in the restaurant were very nice!
No face clothes provided in the bathroom. The glass panel on the bathtub was too small and moved - this created a flood on the bathroom floor every time we showered. The area was beautiful but VERY NOISY AT NIGHT. We had to sleep with the windows closed and the air conditioner cranked to block out the noise of the restaurant music and the partiers who yell and scream all night down by the water.

Nice was lovely, I would visit again. But would book a bigger room, or different hotel.
Location was perfect. The actual hotel was lovely, staff were helpful and friendly, however the room was exceptionally small. Albeit it had amazing views of the bay of Nice. With hindsight, I would have booked a bigger room, with a balcony.

Magnificent Hotel in Nice!
Beautiful view of the Mediterranean off of the balcony!!! The staff members were kind and professional. The breakfasts were great. The property is close to everything!
There was equipment moving rocks on the beach in the early morning hours, but I think they were just getting the beach ready for the high season. It was a minor inconvenience.

Comfortable, affordable and the best rooms with a view.
The room was fantastic, it was clean, spacious and the view was outstanding. For the price it was exceptional. The staff were attentive and everything ran smoothly.
The payment of the room at the end they seem to place a hold or charge you when you check in the first night then upon checking out they charge 2 seperate charges. One the first night then separately the remaining nights. It’s a backward system and very confusing. It felt like I was charged again for the first night. Why not just completely charge me the first night or charge all my nights at the end.

Very good location and sea view if you want to pay the extra.
Fabulous view from our rooms, paid extra to have a sea view. Beds very comfortable, coffee and tea facilities good. Lovely scent in the bathroom.
Only one lift, max 3 people so staff and guests were using the same elevator. Bathroom outdated in style, as one guest was nearly 6ft tall so she had to crouch to have a shower in the bath.

Nice - very nice 😜
The view! Amazing to have the sights and sounds of the sea right outside our window. Wonderful customer service, plenty of space. The balcony was great for relaxing on.
Sofa bed was uncomfortable but what can you do?

The room was a little small for the price but the view along the Promenade Des Anglais and beach was outstanding.
