"One of the main attractions is the rooftop pool and bar, while to pool isn't huge and the deckchairs at a premium in the summer, its a great place to spend a pleasant, lazy late afternoon/evening in Nice."

The hotel is near avenue jean médecin and jean médecin tram stop making airport access convenient for a small fee. the location is central near notre dame basilica surrounded by shops bars and restaurants. my upgraded privilege room had terrace views of notre dame basilica. The room offered modern design and amenities.

The breakfast selection was just ok. There wasn't a vast selection of food. Hot food was lukewarm. the staff at breakfast seemed unfriendly. Replenishing finished items took too long. i found some maintenance issues at the rooftop space like loose tiles needing fixing.

I appreciated the hotel's location close to shops and the tram. The rooftop pool area offered fine city views. I found it especially nice in the evenings. My room included a secure safe and a fridge. I also liked the convenience of eco-friendly water fountains on every floor.

The air conditioning in my room needed adjusting to be effective during hot days. I noticed it only worked well if the curtains were closed. I wish the windows could open to allow fresh air.
