Splendid Hotel and Spa Nice

"First off, this is a 3 star hotel masquerading as a 4 star hotel - purely because it has a rooftop pool and groundfloor spa. To manage expectations, the pool is tiny (it would fit two people swimming lengths, side by side) and the spa is a whirlpool and tiny hamman, with treatment room. My stay was okay but it was a 3 star experience and i had paid to treat myself. I stayed on fourth floor in a deluxe room. Corridor carpets are stained and the whole vibe is very dated. Carpets needed vacuuming in public bar area. The room was clean but furniture dated and chipped in places ie my wall above the tv, the skirting boards of bath all chipped, the wardrobe knobs loose, the bedside table drawers are fake. Bed matress was very comfortable, i slept well and no issues with air conditioning. Some of the pillows need renewing, I could feel the material in them balling bit i had a few of them so it was ok, it didnt impact my sleep. Free water and soft drinks replenished daily in fridge. Shower is tiny and I'm an average size IE/UK so if youre a bigger man/woman, it would be uncomfortably tight and you would gave trouble with the door and how it folds on to open/close it.. I didnt try the bath. It states hairdryer in room description - it wasn't. It was a hot air tube with no controls and little power, youd need to bring your own with you, it overheated and was too hot to hold - it was taking that long to blow (the air wasn't that hot, the plastic absorbed the heat first). And no iron in the room which was inconvenient. Even though breakfast was included in my stay, I only dined once. It was okay but my chair was rickety and wobbled. Definitely a 3 star breakfast in terms of offering and quality. The rooftop bar is excellent. Views are really pretty especially at sunset. The staff were accommodating. I didn't dine in the hotel for lunch or dinner, so many fab restaurants in the vicinity. Overall the location and rooftop bar are the standouts - if you're expecting a 4 star youll be disappointed and I left feeling I had overpaid by a third of what I paid, for what I got. Its an okay hotel, I wouldn't recommend it or stay there again as it didn't meet my expectations of what ii paid. If I had paid for a 3 star, it would get a 3 star rating. I paid for a 4 star so I'm rating it 2 stars."

"We have just returned home from 11 nights in a deluxe room on the 7th floor, which we used to explore Nice and the surrounding Cote D'Azur region. Our room was very clean, comfortable, well equipped and spacious with a small terrace area with seating and from which you could see the sea. The staff and service were first class. The choice at breakfast, which is on the 8th floor with a view, was excellent with a wide selection of food, which was kept well stocked. Our only suggestion for breakfast would be to provide an extra coffee machine, or hot water dispenser. The hotel was very well located, only 5 minutes walk from the nearest tram stop and about 7 minutes walk to both the sea front in one direction and the railway station in the other. We travelled around the region, using the Pass Sud Azur explore transport pass, purchased on arrival at the airport, which gave us access to all the buses, trams and trains in the region."

"We had a very comfortable stay in this excellently located hotel in the Musicians’ District close to the sea front and the railway station. We were upgraded to a premium room with a little balcony , lots of wardrobe and drawer space and a very comfortable bed. There are wonderful views from the roof top terrace where there’s a restaurant, bar and small pool. Breakfast is taken there and whilst the buffet was busy, there was plenty from which to choose. Reception staff were friendly and helpful."
