Hotel du Pin Nice Port

Having just spent 16 nights at this hotel, I understand the positive reviews. In its price category, this hotel deserves 5 stars. Our Privilege room was clean and comfortable with tv, free wi fi, air conditioning, small bar fridge that we stocked with drinks from nearby grocery stores, hair dryer and coffee machine with pods. Our windows opened over busy restaurants below but when closed muted the sounds so we could get a good nights sleep. Reception also had free filtered water that we filled our bottles with. Breakfast downstairs was included, ample and consistent. However, what made this hotel an instant 5 star favourite was two important things - 1. The location. Walking distance to fabulous restaurants, cafes, laundromat, boulangeries, old Nice, markets, Colline du Chateau (Castle Hill), the Port, photography museum, public transport to historic towns and much more. 2. The staff. No matter the hour, the front desk staff were always warm and welcoming to us. The hard working cleaners kept our room impeccable. Thank you. The breakfast team at Foam (also a micro brewery) kept a constant eye on the breakfast bar, re filling and promptly clearing tables so that no matter what time you arrived for breakfast, you didn't miss out on anything. Though my husband appreciated everything from the yoghurt, cereal and fruit, to the eggs, little sausages, croissants and pain au chocolate, my absolute bliss was simply a coffee (or three), a chunk of warm baguette with butter and apricot jam and a good book, by the window overlooking the beautiful streets of Nice. Absolute bliss 🥰 Thank you for our stay. Highly recommend,

This hotel was selected as part of a budget tour, so I didn't have high expectations, but overall it was fine. There was no water heater, but I was able to make hot water in the coffee maker and eat Cup Noodles. There was no refrigerator or bottled water. There was toilet paper but no tissues. The shower water pressure was average, but I liked that the hot water came out quickly. The room was small, and there wasn't enough space to open two large suitcases at the same time. The bed was perhaps smaller than average as well. The hotel was cleaned every day. It was easily accessible and conveniently located near the tram station. Everything at breakfast was delicious, including the croissants.

Visited Nice for a long weekend, a lovely place in general! The hotel was good for what we needed although the rooms are very small but we weren’t in them that much. Located close to bars and restaurants, anout a 10/15min walk to the main beach front and promenade where the better restaurants are located.
