This is a great little 2* hotel steps away from the Promenade with private parking (don't know how many hotels have this facility in downtown Nice) and big windows ( no A/C at the time we visited). It has several room types - with private shower or not and you get just what you pay for. The rooms are standard... more

We arrived and from the outside it seemed a little run down but ok. When we got to our room we had no shower or bath and the toilet was in a cubicle in the bedroom There was wires coming out the walls and peeling away wallpaper and paint. The bed was also very uncomfortable. We left after one night... more

All the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Located just yards from Promenade des Anglais and the beach and in the midst of many... more

This is a real gem in the heart of Nice! Upon arrival, I was fascinated by this belle-epoque building. I stayed in one of the very recently refurbished rooms, which was very beautifully decorated. The style had a French touch, which I absolutely loved! The rooms very spacious and impeccably clean. With the view from my window out onto the... more

Our second time in the "Rivoli" where we already stayed 2 years ago and , still, the same warm welcoming and great price deal for the room. We love the location , can walk to the sea in a very short time and run on the "Promenade" next door . No need to take a cab to go back at... more

Voyage très agréable. Le personnel attentionné et fantastique more
