Mercure Nice Centre Grimaldi Hotel

Very good; great service, HVAC and tight bathroom were problems

I was happy with the location and I liked the places to sit in the lobby. As a Platinum Accor member I got an upgrade to a Privilege room but I was a bit disappointed as it was very small and needed to be renovated. I did like the carpet on the floor, the table on wheels, the two moveable nightstands by the bed and the footstool. The armchair was alright too. I also liked the large walk-in shower and Nuxe honey perfumed hair and body gel in the shower and hand gel and body lotion by the washbasin. After spending just over a week in a suite at the Ibis Styles in Menton with breakfast included which it wasn't at the Mercure, I felt that I got a much better deal at the Ibis Styles.

Spent several nights in this decent hotel located in the city centre with lots of choices of restaurants nearby. The room itself was quite large but the smell of sewer was strong in the toilet. Although the smell didn't affect the bedroom if the door was tightly closed, it was still quite a bit hassle when using the toilet. The street light nearby and noises from trucks or bin lorries in the street were also quite annoying somehow. The buffet breakfast was okay but not much choices provided. I did appreciate that the loose leaf sencha green tea was provided instead of any sort of cheap tea bags.

Hotel is in such a useful location - short walk to the promenade, so many restaurants nearby and even next door to a supermarket. The room we had, although small, served it's purpose - only there for a long weekend and didn't intend on spending much time in the room. Lovely rainfall shower in the room, but a not very pleasant smell coming from the bathroom most off the time. Breakfast was pretty average - no explanation of how it worked on the first morning so we just followed what other people were doing and figured it out.

Ideal location in the city centre and only a short taxi ride from the airport. Room was clean, although very small. I didn’t mind as I was only here for a weekend. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is good, when you know what you’re supposed to do, it isn’t very well explained, hence why I’ve taken one star off. They tend to run out of things, so best to get down to breakfast early as possible. There didn’t seem to be much in the way of bar, the hotel is quite small. I’d say fine for a weekend or just a few days though. For what it is, it’s good value for money.
