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.”

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.

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 Bathroom outdated in style, as one guest was nearly 6ft tall so she had to crouch to have a shower in the bath.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?

You can get better value but the Hotel Suisse has a charm that is lacking in other hotels. Despite the price this was ou
Great location
A little pricey for what you get.

Gleaming bathrooms, lovely front desk and breakfast staff, superb bed linens, delightful sea views

highly recommended, marks your trip
It's a Really Really Really nice hotel!!!!! Worth the money to stay. I believe they upgrade our room since we mentioned this is our honeymoon trip. The room is pretty big, tidy, and beautiful. I think this hotel has the most beautiful view among others. The location is great, we almost walk everywhere, and is very convenient. The hotel staff is very helpful too, we were very satisfied with their services. Anyway, this is very highly recommended!!!!! Nice trip marked my whole trip :)

Beautiful, centrally located hotel in Nice
The hotel is centrally located near restaurants and the water. It's beautiful and modern. The staff was very friendly and spoke English. We really loved the view from our room. We didn't have a balcony because they were booked, but I would suggest spending the extra money getting a balcony view room.
The room was probably the last one they had available, it was very cramped and located right off of the stairway.

Location is absolutely stunning, beautiful view of the promenade. Very convenient location next to the Old Town made it easy to get around and explore.
Our air conditioning did not work very well, as the sun can beat through the windows it could get quite hot in the afternoon.

Stunning views over Nice bay!
Location, Location, Location! The Beach was just below the hotel crossing the road. Also, the staff was very friendly.
It would have been nice with a roof terrace and bar. The elevator is extremely small and slow.

The location is perfiect, close to the train station and beach. Around some cafes and shops. The bed was very comfortable and room was quiet.
Price is a bit too high

Loved the location but room too small for price
Locations and views were exceptional and staff were friendly
Rooms were too small Not enough power points Hotel needs to be renovated in the rooms hair dryer prehistoric and shower in bath very dangerous

Good location. Beautiful views. Great customer service. It’s not cheap.
The customer service was excellent. Jennifer and Alessandro hats off. I was there with my mom on walker. They were very attentive to our needs. Great job you two. And actually everyone else, was extremely pleasant. The views from our room were exceptional.
Place is small. Elevator, rooms, restaurant. Parking was a bit of a pain. But that’s not unique to this hotel. It’s a problem in nice.

In general the hotel is great place to stay, I will not hesitate to come back.
Good stuff, welcoming atmosphere, great location.
I made a mistake writing about a noisy air conditioner; it happened in a different hotel. However, in the Suisse hotel, the air conditioner was not flexible enough to lower the temperature on a thermostat; we had some discomfort with that at night.

Very good
Location is perfect.. Only limitation, it was not not possible to call an Uber, as Uber consider the location unreachable.
The aircon in the room was working in an unpredictable way.. Still OK, but not the best.

Perfect location,viewed fireworks for Bastille day from our room!
Problems with releasing my money on credit card used to secure booking.

I most probably will visit this hotel again.
Everyone in the hotel was very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for leisure travelers who prefer a beachfront holiday.
A lobby and a breakfast area are relatively small. It was compensated however with a spacious balcony in our room.

The staff was friendly and the room view was fantastic.
Unfortunately this is an expensive option as most accommodations in Nice as this was about 300/night and it's only justified by location and view for me.

Fantastic location with great rooms and stunning views - we'll be back!
Absolutely stunning location with amazing and uninterrupted views of the whole coastline all the way to the airport. Lovely, comfy rooms with nice big windows which were double glazed so no road noise at nigth.
Lounge/bar area isn't particularly inviting and given the location it's a shame the hotel doesn't make it more appealing and lively. We skipped breakfast as there are so many lovely places around serving great food in great locations - but it was our choice as I'm sure the hotel breakfast would have been fine but the room's a tad lacklustre.

Our room was PERFECT! It has amazing view of Promenade de anglais. Room is modern and clean. Strategic location, easy stroll to Saleya market, old nice town, Castel Hill staircase an the Instagrammable #I LOVE NICE are just right in front of Suisse hotel. will definitely come back again!

Good for short trip to Nice
Location was excellent for touring Old Town and Harbor
Very small rooms and AC was challenging
