Azur Hotel

Good location disappointing hotel. I want to say nice things about this hotel, but it is difficult. It is within walking distance of the Nice Côte d’Azur airport, and there is a bus stop right outside the hotel, also the tram runs one block over. The view of the sea is great, but the traffic noise is terrible late into the night. You can catch local city buses as well as buses that run from Cannes to Monaco. The rooms are tiny even by European standards, the bathroom was minuscule and the toilet so close to the wall that you were sitting on the wall as well as the toilet seat. There was a safe in the bottom of the closet but it wasn’t bolted to anything so I didn’t use it. On the plus side, the manager/desk clerk/breakfast cook, was very pleasant and helpful. He may have been the only employee or the owner for all I know. The room rate was very good, breakfast was 8 euro for continental style but all you can eat. In short the hotel was old, broken down and cleanliness was spotty. I would not stay there again.

It doesnt mean bad, its cheap and best roi you get on main street. You get cheap room, possible breakfast on order, next the beach, calm, some shops, coffee shops next corner, bus station right next to the door.

We decided to spend New Year in Nice......we got bus from Grasse which took an hour and 50 minutes and it stopped almost directly opposite to the hotel....The door to the hotel was locked...which we thought was very strange....and the glass in the door was all cracked.....after knocking for 5 minutes a man appeared and let us in.....there are a few stairs on entry to the hotel which I found hard to navigate with a suitcase ...there was no banister to lean on....the then owner showed us to the room on the second floor.....the room was sparse...mismatched furniture ....small shower...with someone else's left over toiletries ....no hairdryer etc....but a nice small balcony to sit out and over look the sea......there was a kettle..but no cups etc...just 2 clear plastic cups for water i assumed.....due to the time of day etc we decided we would not be able to get any other accommodation so we decided to stay.....the bed was relatively comfy..but a blanket would have been nice as it was chilly at night and there was no heating......the second night was much the same as the first one....bleak....there was no pubs or restaurants nearby ...but a Carrefour was open so we bought some wine etc and a few bit's to take back to our room...knowing that we were leaving the following day......the hotel looked in need of a complete upgrade.....walls grubby....thin towels....the banister was dangerous in my opinion ...certainly could not lean on it .....there was mould in the shower , floors were grubby....and skirting boards dusty ....the only thing I enjoyed was the view of the sea.....would never go back ......the owner of the hotel was in my opinion not very friendly.....seems he runs the hotel with little or no help.and no lift
