Ibis Styles Nice Vieux Port

"Very good stay in this hotel. The main reason is it’s localization. Has all the interesting places of Nice just a short walk away. Public transport also nearby. The hotel itself is confortable, the staff is very friendly, breakfast is very good."

"Having now stayed at more than seven different Accor properties in Nice, the Ibis Styles Nice Vieux Port has unexpectedly found itself very near the top of my list. For me, its biggest strength is the location. The immediate neighbourhood has a great atmosphere, with plenty of bars, restaurants and cafés right on the doorstep, while still feeling like a genuine residential part of Nice rather than somewhere completely dominated by tourism. You're also only a short walk from Place Garibaldi and the port, with excellent tram connections nearby. I really enjoyed experiencing Nice from this side of the city. It has a more relaxed, casual flow to it while still being within easy reach of the main tourist areas. The hotel itself was another pleasant surprise. The lobby is relatively small but comfortable and leads into the breakfast and dining area. Throughout my stay I found the staff engaged, polite and attentive, which added considerably to the experience. I actually experienced two very different rooms during my stay. My first was a solo room and everything was certainly proportional! The room was small, the bed was small and the vanity area was small. The bathroom took this to another level. The shower was essentially a tiny square tray without enough separation to prevent water escaping into the rest of the bathroom, making the whole experience closer to a wet room. As an Accor loyalty member, I asked whether an upgrade might be possible as one hadn't been offered on arrival. Thankfully, this became available for my second night and completely changed my impression of the accommodation. The second room was lovely. It was considerably more spacious, with a small sofa beside a bay window overlooking the neighbourhood. It felt bright, clean and contemporary. I wouldn't necessarily describe the design as luxurious or cosy. It is still very much an Ibis Styles, with laminate flooring and fairly functional furniture, but everything felt fresh and modern. The bathroom was also significantly better, with much more space and a proper walk-in shower. An unusual feature was a window from the shower into the bedroom, although thankfully blinds are provided when a little more privacy is required! Amenities are fairly limited. There was a large TV and a safe, but not much else in the room. Wi-Fi, however, was strong and reliable throughout my stay. Ultimately, this hotel is a bit of a hidden gem. It isn't luxurious and some of the smaller room categories really are small, but it gets the important things right: a fantastic neighbourhood, a great atmosphere immediately outside, friendly staff and clean, modern accommodation. After trying quite a few Accor hotels across Nice, this is one I would happily return to."

"The location is very good, near the beach and the neighborhood is cool with some good restaurants and bars right next door. Room serves its purpose if you are in Nice to see the city. Some employees were very nice and others unfortunately were not at all."
