Paradis - Nice, France 

"Perfect location"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
As budget travellers, we couldn't ask for more. This hotel was smack in the middle of the pedestrian area of Nice, where there are lots of good restaurants and shops. The area was very safe --the hotel's entrance is between the Louis Vuitton and Gorgio Armani stores, and across from Gladys Falk! The hotel itself was also very safe -- the door gets locked with a security pad entrance for guests after 9 pm. The boardwalk and beach are literally just across the street from the hotel, which made it very easy to hit the beach for the day without having to carry an armload of supplies. The rooms were clean, and the bathroom (ensuite) was clean and big. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel's sister hotel, Hotel Meyerbeer, is about a 10 minute walk away, and offers free internet for its guests, as well as for the Hotel Paradis guests. There is also a small supermarket and a laundromat about a 5 minute walk away. The train station is about a 15-20 minute walk away, which was definitely manageable. The perfect location!

This hotel is an awesome place to stay for people on a budget! its right in the centre of everything and although small the rooms were clean and the staff very helpful. I would reccommend it and would stay there again. First time to nice and was a perfect place to base ourselves. We had a room with a balcony so are not sure how the others compare to ours.

I don't understand why their other hotel has CNN on TV but not at this facility. They were very willing to move us from the top floor room which is not ready to be occupied and should not be assigned- they are used for storage etc. Our first floor room was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and liked being in a new area of the city. The desk was very helpful and accommodating. Good advice when asked and friendly manner. Lpved the area.

Unable to rate this hotel since we were replaced on arrival to a nearby hostel. When we arrived at the hotel the concierge was on a lunchbreak and there was a note for us saying that due to technical problems our room was unavailabe and that we should walk to a nearby one star hotel - In fact it was a sort of hostel, with very friendly staff however. We did not get a reduction in price and advice people to think twice before the choose Paradis due to lack of service and communication. Never the less we had a wunderful weekend in Nice - did some shopping, spend time at the beautiful beach, and went to the flower market in the old town.

On arrival there were no staff on reception another couple tried to help us find our key which should have been left in the safe, but wasn't!..Once the receptionist arrived he was welcoming and spoke good English, however he had no confirmation of our booking!! It was lucky as there was a room available in the hotel. The room was clean and fairly roomy, unfortunately the sink was not plumbed in and leaked over the bathroom floor, this was fixed later that day, but the bath towels used to mop up the water had not been replaced...next problem, there was no plug in the sink!!! This was not fixed during our stay...The TV wasn't tuned in properly either..It was noisy throughout the night this was mainly due to the central location...The hotel was a little disappointing. We wouldn't stay there again.
