| Friendly staff, from receptionist to the cleaners. Excellent location halfway between old town & railway station. Nourishing breakfast, and quite sufficient to accommodate a healthy appetite. Quiet rooms, comfortable bed. Stairwell recently painted. A lovely peaceful & convenient stay. |

| Good hotel within walking distance of the beach. Breakfast is quite basic, a croissant, roll, butter, jam and yogurt but adequate. |

| We were there in August 08. Stayed in 504,which really had the best view from balcony.However the carpet was moldy and had a smell. Bathroom was very unclean with other people's hair and the 'other' type of hair, they provided some unknown complimentary shampoo and you can't tell if it had been used because the bottle is not sealed. Curtain and bed cover were of the same fabric, they were faded in colour and yellowy, you can tell they have not cleaned them for a long time. Room doors are simply a push button lock like the ones you would have inside a house. You can hear your neighbors when they try to close the door becaues the doors are hard to shut. You can easily take a shower for up to 30 mins because the water pressure is so weak, water is only dripping out one drop by one drop. Bed sheet was very rough to sleep on (serious estimation: a feeling of 30 threadcount) Cleanliness was a huge problem.We had bug bites from the bed. Although it indeed was close to the beach, we had to move to hotel Boreal which is a few blocks away.It was only 20 Euro more but everything was much better. For this price, you can pay a little bit more and enjoy a bathtub and a real shower, with a real bed. |

| My room 310 could have been cleaner. The floor carpet was extremely dirty and unpleasant. This also goes for the carpet in corridor outside this and other rooms in same area. Sound insulation poor, disturbance from other rooms. Hotel handbook needs updating, one listed restaurant had closed 10 yrs ago; some listed TV-channels did not exist in my room (e.g. CNN, DW). Pleasant staff, excellent location. |

| Hotel is good located. Looks nice from outside, but inside is quite old. The room offers enough space but the bathroom is very poor and not so clean. |

| Very nice and good quality compared to the price. It's very central and the surroundings are full of restaurants and shops, so it's perfect to enjoy Nice. |

| The Nouvel Hotel Nice was very basic in an old building with a small lift. There was chipped tiles and paint pealing off, but it was clean and everything functioned. Air conditioning and secure windows when closed makes the room very quite. However I did discover another hotel 2 days later for the same price that was a lot better only 2 blocks away. |

| Good location. Dont take large suitcases as the lift is more like a dumb waiter, cramped for two people without luggage! |

| I stayed eight days in room 503 . Hotel is located very close to all Nice attractions and only 10 min walking distance to the sea. Bit poor breakfast and boring for long stay. Bathroom should be renovated. It was bit stinky even room service was cleaning it every day. |

| The hotel is the perfect place to stay in Nice. Our room was awesome....5th floor with a wrap around balcony over looking a church. It's in a quiet area with the shopping and beach just a few blocks away. Cheap breakfast halfway to the train station, and great Indian food at Shimbaya. Avoid tourist areas and get great food at half the price. Front desk people were not friendly nor had any clue about Nice and directions. It wasn't a big deal to us because our room was so great, but don't expect many conversations or smiles from the front desk people. Room 504 is the best one if you can request it. |

| We where looking for a good situated hotel, close to the center of Nice, easy to reach by bus from the airport, to an attractive price, then we found Nouvel Hotel. The Nouvel Hotel Nice fulfill all what we expected to get a very good stay, with a nice breakfast room on the 1 floor, good service and good food all what we need to a good price. Next time we are in Nice we don`t have to look for other hotel, The only problem is, can we get a room at Nouvel Hotel again! |

| The Nouvel Hotel Nice is in a lovely location.. 5 mins from the beach , lively eating area with some good restaurants just behind it. it s about 10 mins to train station and 10 to the old town. The rooms are small and basic but clean. most of them seem to have a balcony the only downside is that the traffic seems to go all night so that big window which is great during the day is a bit of a bother if you re a light sleeper. I didnt have the breakfast.. at 15 euro it seemed abit over the top and 2 streets behind the hotel you can get crepes from 3 euro. Overall the hotel was cheap and cheerful.. great power in the shower which is always nice after a long day walking around nice. |

| We picked the Nouvel Hotel Nice for it's oroximity to the railway station. As it turned out it was well situated for all our tourist needs. The staff all spoke very good english and made us feel very welcome. The lovely little breakfast room was a real treat, and a good deal as well as one is served a little more than on the street for that same price! The "Breakfast Madam" is a little intimidating at first as she doesn't speak to anyone, and as you don't quite know how to act at first a little direction would be helpful! |

| A renovated downtown hotel, the renovations are in public areas. The breakfast room was beautiful, and breakfast, while sparse, was fine. Room was oddly-shaped, and very small, with even tinier bathroom and shower. Because of odd shape, there was less than 12 inches between end corner of bed and wall of bathroom, requiring one to turn sideways to get from the door of the room to the end of the bed - where the desk and only chair was. Way too small and uncomfortable for the 145 Euro price. No parking at hotel, and desk clerk when asked did not tell us about parking nearby, though it exists. There is a shuttle to the airport - but not from - so we turned in rental car, took a cab back, and the shuttle the next morning. The hotel is in easy walking distance of many, many restaurants. |

| This location of the Nouvel Hotel Nice is fantastic, as is the facade, but that's about all it's got going for it. The bedrooms are grim. I wouldn't stay there again unless I was desperate, there are much better hotels in Nice for a similar price range if you shop around. I'm not quite sure how this hotel managed to get some okay reviews.... plus, when we were there it was full!!! The carpets in the bedrooms (and I saw more than one bedroom as the first was so small we asked to swap) must be 200 years old. Have they ever been replaced/cleaned? They were so bad you have to wear shoes at all times (even to pop to the loo in the middle of the night). The shower cubicle was tiny with a nasty old curtain that stuck to your legs. The toilet door didn't close properly. The best thing about our room was a view of the Holiday Inn... I wished I was staying there. Breakfast was bread, bread and more bread. The reception staff looked like they'd rather be in the Holiday Inn too. I go to Nice quite a lot, but never, never the Nouvel again. |

| Our toom was absolutely charming. We would definitely want to stay here again. We had a beautiful view of the church tower next door 2 nice balconies. We could not believe we got this beautiful room at such a great rate. The people at the front desk even helped coach us in French!! |
