BEST HOSTEL !!!!”

LOCATION = 10/10 HOSTEL FACILITIES = 10/10 STAFF= 10/10 This was one of the best hostels I have been to. Definitely I am recommending it to you all. Go for it. All the facilities are free and the bar of this hostel is just ausm..... cheap beer too good. If visiting NICE again I am gonna stay here only for sure. Thank you so much hostel Villa Saint Exupery Beach keep up the good work.

Basically... Doesn't worth the money you pay”

We went there as a couple and thank god we only spend two nights at this hotel before leaving to corsica. Here are the key phrases that resumed my stay at Villa Saint Exupery beach: -At checkin (not before 3pm)they ask for a three euro deposit and your passport!!! I totally refused and tell her it was illegal to take a passport from someone. She told me next that she would need a identy card instead. - They don't pay attention to (literally confirmed by the receptionist) what you request on agoda website during online reservation. - The breakfast is included... Line-up of about 20 people each day for toasts and coffee, there is only one toaster by the way. - They pretend to have wifi but it doesn't work unless you're at the reception... Forget it if you are in your room it barely reach your devices, but hey, they consider to have wifi. -No room service (didn't expect much from this hotel) there is no towel (you have to pay for them, deposit of around 5-10 euro for each I think)no welcoming kit, only toilet paper. - There have no air conditionning only one fan... During the night, forget to open the windows to get fresh air in the room, you're at the Massena Place, near the bars and restaurants. - Looks way more older and worse than the pictures on the website. That resumed overall our stay at this hotel. For the same price there are better hotel around with better services and air conditionning.

Exceptional”

Great location. La promenade des Anglais is less than 10min, the "flower market" is about 10min, and the beach is about 5min. It is next to the big commercial street of Nice. The luggage storage is free. And reception is nice.

Perfect location”

In the heart of it all, perfect location to get to and from all directions. Old town and Beaches a 5 min walk, surrounded by restaurants and take-aways and food stores, and a variety of shopping stores/malls. On a bus route and a minute walk away from the trams. Coming by train - take the tram from gare 'Nice Ville station' direction 'Pasteur Hôpital' and get off at the 2nd stop, walk 1min around the corner and you arrive at hostel. Reception and restaurant leaves some room for upgrade however the rooms are setout with general decor, well maintained and a huge bathroom - big shower! The Aircon was most welcome too 😁 Downside - Taking it during COVID season perhaps they were understaffed because dirtbins in restaurant area were overflowing daily (we stayed 7 days) and our room was definitely not sanitized or cleaned to standard on initial reception of the room (took photos) thick dust, marks on wall in bathroom, shower seemed partially cleaned! (I did not however lodge a compliant)

Female solo traveler”

As a female solo traveler, if you're going in the winter (presumably during the hostel's less popular times), I would recommend at least booking a female-only room. I switched from co-ed to female only when I realized I was the only female in my co-ed room and there were a majority of older men. Social opportunities with young adults weren't as prevalent as other hostels I've stayed in throughout France/Europe. All that being said, at a bare-bones minimum it was a good accommodation for the price, and if you're traveling with friends then you shouldn't have any issues.

Friendly staff and good location to explore Nice!”

The hostel is located fairly centrally between the 'Old' and 'New' Nice with around 5 mins walk to the beach. Staff is really friendly and the rooms/beds are clean with reasonable shower facilities! Note to those carrying heavy luggage - The airport buses (98/99) does not stop too close by the hostel, so may expect to walk some distance.

Ideal for backpackers. ”

Ideal for backpackers. You can use the kitchen to eat food, and surprisingly, there is a sauna and a gym in the basement. Conveniently located near department stores and Massena Square. And the staff responded well. It seems to be good at cleaning. When you travel from Nice to the suburbs, you have to find accommodation here. will have to pay for breakfast. And it was a shame that there was no olive oil in the kitchen such as basic sauce, sugar and salt. There are only kitchen utensils.

nice to stay in reasonable price.”

the hostel was located next to the beach. It was easy to get everywhere in Nice. (except but to monaco. but, it is not hard to find this bus stop. u could ask everyone who lives in Nice.) It was so easy to join Nice carnival from this hostel. and staff was friendly. they tried to make us feel comfortable in hostel. I would like to recommand this hostel someone who want to stay in reasonable price.

Great location but unreliable information”

We booked this stay for a week because it had a kitchen (being a hostel). However, when we arrived they said the kitchen was closed for renovations indefinitely. We were told that we could use a kettle and microwave. No fridge. You can pay 5€ for a cereal and toast kind of breakfast, but we never did. Also, although the hotel was supposed to have daily housekeeping, we never had anyone clean our room. Towels aren't included in your stay. Luggage storage was available which was an excellent perk, and the location is perfect. It's very close to the beach and the tram stop. Overall, we had a good stay we just wished we were informed about the kitchen and cleaning situation before booking!!!

A decent accommodation in the centre of Nice”

Great location if you visit Nice for sightseeing, but could be noisy at nights. Short distance to tram stop and a few-minute walk to the beach or the Old Town. The hostel is quite basic, though. We had a double room with a bathroom. Luckily, the bathroom was quite new, but the room with peeling paint on the walls was a bit disappointing. Very friendly and helpful staff at the reception. All in all, I can recommend staying there for a night or two.

clean rooms”

cool place to stay for some nights and enjoy the city, it is located too close to metro *from airport* so you wouldnt need to walk a lot to reach the hostel. Enjoy your time there! there is no kitchen, only a microwave where you can heat your food, cause they are making a new kitchen! :D

Right behind the Massena square”

The hotel suits more for students and young people, room is very simple, the staff was nice and the location is right in the center

Good stay ”

nice staff, clean room but it was under renovation so a bit noisy during the day. good stay overall.

The Place to meet new people”

Staffs are very friendly, almost all came from the Brits, so english is no problem. Place to meet new people, with all the positives and negatives about it. Very close to the beach, in front of Galeries Lafayette, in front of the square. I think it's the best location for hostel, compare to other hostel.

Excellent”

Convenient place, clean room, nice staff, good restaurant like a hotel.

great location near beach”

great staf, good rooms, great free breakfast, good activites on offer and a good common room to hang or meet people.

Exceptional”

Really nice people, excellent location, super clean. No recycling and no fridge available so you can't keep any food.

Good Location”

It was value for money. Bar was nice. I will definitely come back to this hostel.

Central location ”

If you’re a female, pay the extra and stay in a female only room. In winter, there isn’t muc atmosphere in the downstairs bar, so best to go out at night to eat/drink. Very close to the place Masséna, beach and the old town. Easy to get to on transport.

nice location and faculty”

The hostel is very popular for its price and service. But it's kind of crowded. Many people have to share only one toilet and shower room. But when it comes to its many merits, this little drawback is still acceptable.
