2-Star Hotels in Nice

THE ROOM: spacious and had not only a good bed but room enough to walk around and open a suitcase. There was a desk area by the window and a small sitting area with a bench by the head of the bed. The room was modern and clean and smelled lovely. It was theoretically quiet as it was facing towards the back of the building but the windows have to remain shut as some guests might come and smoke and chat on the terrace (it admittedly happened only once and until someone shouted at them to go to their room). The main problem was some rather loud and repetitive structural sound, was loud enough to wake me. At first I thought that the upstair neighbours were moving a piece of furniture every 2 minutes but it made little sense. I concluded that it was one of the elevators that had some sort of issue and emitted the sound of a dying whale from early in the morning until late into the night. THE STAFF: the staff was friendly and helpful. However, be aware that you will be charged 10 euros to get into your room if you arrive at the hotel before 15:00 and your room is ready. You will be charged 5 euros to leave a suitcase in storage after 10:00 on the day of your departure. You also have to book and pay for a maid to come and change your towels and empty your bin. The hotel was pleasant and affordable but I have never had to pay for these kind of services in any hotel I have stayed at.

Excellent value and service (there is always someone in the reception 24 hours), near the airport, so good location particularly if you arrive late at night. Shower unit can be bigger but was still okay for a person like me who is not small. Room was nicely cleaned. Bed was fine as well as my sleep.

hotel is at center. the neighborhood is quite dangerous at night hotel is clean and nice and very comfortable

This was my 4th visit to Ajoupa and my 5th visit to Nice. What I particularly appreciate about the accommodation is its comfort, and discretion, which many hotels lack. It’s like having your own apartment in Nice! The location could not be more central- you walk out of the front door right into the unique atmosphere of Nice. I had not travelled since the airport tram was introduced, and from Terminal 2, the Tram delivers you to Jean Médecin in a little over 25 mins - then you reach Ajoupa in 5 mins. Once you check in you are left to your own devices…everything you need is within walking distance, and 3 mins after leaving the front door you find yourself in the magnificent Place Masséna. Gare Nice Ville is an easy walk, and during my short visit I went to Villefranche, Menton and Antibes. I walked to Villefranche ….a beautiful walk. All the team at Ajoupa are charming and very helpful with local knowledge and information. I work in the hospitality sector, and this is how hospitality should be done. I particularly enjoy this place as a solo traveller, but I also think Nice itself is a fantastic location for the solo traveller. You can just get lost in the bustle of the city. It is a fabulous place, I love it very much, and Ajoupa is the perfect accommodation for my love affair with Nice to continue.

I wanted a refrigerator to say luxury. Is it a culture or a cheap hotel? Other than that, it was ok in Cospa.

My wife and I are on our honeymoon, during which we are staying in many places in France and Italy. We were very impressed with the reception we received by the woman at the front desk, and everyone has been incredibly nice to us. This is a big surprise as people have generally been very rude to us during this trip so far. We love the Matisse art on the walls of the staircase and the room is decorated beautifully. Unfortunately after settling into the room, we realized the air conditioner was not operational and the water pressure in the shower was so low that we couldn’t have proper showers. We tried to get past these issues but the room became way too hot overnight and we were unable to get a good sleep. The next morning we received an email from the hotel asking how our stay was going. I mentioned these issues and they called our room within 15 minutes and advised us they would upgrade us in the next hour to a superior room. This was a much better resolution than we expected and we are incredibly pleased. We would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an affordable stay in Nice, and to anyone who is hoping to be treated as a paying customer should be treated (unfortunately not a luxury you will find throughout most of France). The rooms also have fridges, which is not something we’ve seen yet during our trip. This is really helpful as we prefer to bring groceries back to our room instead of significantly overpaying at restaurants. The deal they have with the parking lot nearby is great as well, since every place we’ve been thus far has completely shaken us down for parking. The views of the cathedral next door are beautiful too. Beds and pillows are comfortable and the room was nice and clean. Highly recommended!

Original booking was end May 2020. Although my booking was made with a no cancellation policy, I contacted the hotel directly and was assisted by Nadia, (sorry don't know her surname), in moving my booking to October 2020.  She was extremely helpful.  The reply to my emails were super efficient and understanding. If this is the standard of service my family can expect  we are very much looking forward to our stay at this hotel.   Nadia is a credit to your organisation during what are very uncertain and challenging times  I wish to thank her for all her efforts.

This apart-hotel as suggested by other reviewers photographs well on their site but is in fact quite tired and dated. It is well located close to the tram stop and a very short walk to the promenade. The duvets were very dirty and there was a smell from the shower room. The room seemed superficially clean but on inspection it could have been cleaner. If staying here I would suggest getting earplugs as the main road with tram is right outside the street-side windows. Others have commented on issues with the staff, we found them ok to deal with. Prior to our visit I did have to email them three times to receive an answer to a question. I would suggest staying here if it is a bargain and you don't mind the above. There is another hotel nearby that is far superior (we moved there) and it was the same price.

We had such a wonderful stay at Hôtel Victor Hugo! They were so welcoming and helpful during our time in Nice. The room was lovely and we were very comfortable. We enjoyed the nice breakfast in the morning as well. The location was excellent! A lovely spot and we were able to walk everywhere. We hope to return and stay there again!

Nice apartment with kitchenette. Keep the kitchenette clean and dishes washed or you’ll be charged a cleaning fee according to the card on the counter, which I nearly missed. Nice little touches in the room. And lemon water in the lobby. Has a roof top pool. Can walk to most places of interest. But in Nice buying a 24h transport card can save a lot of time, and gets you to the Matisse art museum and Roman ruins at the hilltop. Careful with data roaming in Monaco, it may feel like a part of France, the Nice bus service even gets you there but it isn’t. Check that your telco has an arrangement with a Monaco telco.
