Great hotel. Everyone was nice-Concierge, Dining Room & cleaning. 2 minute walk to train station to visit the entire Riviera. Shops and restaurants & attractions all within walking distance in Nice. Smaller, clean and eco-friendly hotel. Breakfast was the same every day but varied options. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!

I had a good experience but my bedroom door was not secure at night which did not allow me to sleep well. The receptionist was helpful but ultimately it was a problem to be solved by an engineer.

Your hotel had a unique vibe and we loved all the extras that were provided. The area and being to walk to the Promenade and feel safe was a plus. Also the train station was walking distance which was a Big Plus!! Enjoyed our stay and loved the Decor!

The room had cockroaches. The bathroom was very uncomfortable. When you showered, the bathroom floor got flooded. I asked to be changed to another room, the front desk wanted me to leave my luggage with them and leave us without a room for 6 hs to change my room so that he could change us to the same room we paid for. He should have easily given us an upgrade after the cockroaches incident. The new room was not properly clean. There was so much dust below the bed. The beds were 2 singles out together. I won’t be coming back.

I recently stayed at Hotel Excelsior Nice, and it was a fantastic experience. This boutique hotel has a unique and quirky charm, and its location is ideal – just a 2-minute walk from Nice-Ville Station and perfectly situated between the old town and the new town. From the moment we arrived, the entire team was outstanding – always polite, friendly, and incredibly helpful. However, I must give special recognition to Angel, who is truly an asset to the hotel. His hospitality, communication skills, and knowledge were exceptional. He was caring, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and enjoyable. The daily breakfast was fresh, delicious, and offered a great variety, setting us up perfectly for the day ahead. I highly recommend Hotel Excelsior Nice and will definitely be returning. A wonderful experience from start to finish.
