ibis Nice Aéroport Promenade des Anglais

Due to a cancelled flight out of Nice, I needed a hotel near the airport. For sure a good choice to take this one. A 10 minute walk from the terminal. Very clean and neat hotel. Of course not a Hilton style but for a basic hotel, I can only recommend. The dinner in the hotel is good. The menu choice is small but I kind of like it.

The hotel rooms could have been cleaner: dirty sheets & dust on the surfaces. However the location of the hotel is not far from Nice and the AirPort, just a quick and cheap tram ride away. Even though it is located by the airport you can’t hear the airplanes.

Literally the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Was only staying one night as it was close to the airport and I had an early morning flight. When I arrived there was one single towel in the room, no phone for reception and not even a hair dryer. Had to go down to reception to ask for one and was told I had to leave a cash deposit for what was a very cheap and rubbish hairdryer. When I eventually decided to get in to bed there were used contact lenses in the bed and one stuck to the headboard behind the bed. I was staying on my own and have 20/20 vision so they did not belong to me, so just highlighted the lack of cleaning that occurs in the rooms. Bed was also sliding off the frame and not very stable so was glad my flight was early in the morning so I could leave the hotel earlier!!!!

Location is just 1 1/2 blocks from #2 tram stop. Very convenient. One stop or walking distance to Parc Phoenix (gardens, greenhouse, etc). Only problem was the mattress which slid off the frame constantly.

At first impression the hotel is cozy and elegant with minimal and modern details. Despite the position is just across the airport, the noise was contained without any major disturbance. The menu offered is very limited and the selection poor if you plan a long. The dishes are tasty, well presented and the portions are big, over the average. Beside few very friendly and helpful staff, mainly at the restaurant/bar, the reception and floor service is short manned of English speaking staff. This issue created difficulties on arrival at checkin and during the stay every time assistance was needed. The room was small but comfortable even without proper storage furniture. The bathroom spacious, with a nice walk-in shower. Surprisely there was no toilet brush available. Very weird and very uncomfortable standard of this hotel. Other and main negative inconvenience was the finding of a cockroach in the main corridor in front the room's door on the way to dinner the 4th night of the stay.
