Convenient location & hotel amenities but lacks the social element of a hostel. If you do not care about the hostel experience this is a good value and it's close to the train station and downtown.

no lockers and the atmosphere is not the most fun, but as long as you plan on going out and not staying in the hostel, you're fine! free internet computers to use. downside is 1 am curfew.

Had a pretty fun time in nice and the hostel was great. A little inconvenient only having 2 keys per room though. good vibe on some nights and great places to go out, other nights were hit and miss.

This place has surprised me for good! I found so much more than I expected that I would definetly recommended and come again. It has some minors details that can be improved but staff makes everything to make you feel welcome and feel comfortable.

This is a hotel that has been converted to a hostel. Not much going on, but there is a chill out room and kitchen. My room had no head in the shower so the water just spurted out of the wall!

Really nice hostel. One drawback was they only have one key per dorm room. It is also in the red light district, which is a bit grungy. Free internet, pleasant staff, good sized rooms, working showers.

A really good hostel, only 2 small complaints, no lockers, and that you have to leave your key at the front desk when the last person leaves the room, slightly inconvenient. Overall, a really nice hostel with the absolute BEST LOCATION for the city of Nice, highly recommend

Disgusting kitchen, only a certain amount of keys per room, cold staff, no lockers. Close to the train station, decent size rooms. Christmas will come before the hot water does.

More like a hotel than a hostel. Theres no kitchen or bar but theres good internet access and the cleanliness is good. Conveniently close to the rail and not too far from the beach. Some staff are a bit moody.

Always nice to be greeted by a roach upon first entering the bathroom. May have been bed-bugs too, my bunkmates had quite a lot of little bites on their hands and ankles but, no mosquitoes present...

We stayed there for less than 12hrs, we arrived late but we let them know in advance and they were fine. They also arranged for a room where no one else was so we wouldnt disturb anyone. Staff are really friendly.

This hostel is conveniently near the train station, and the staff was very helpful. The free internet was a very nice perk. Our room and bathroom were clean, the only thing was the kitchen, if you use it, which wasnt clean. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hostel.

Strategic location which is near to the train station. we actually booked a 12-person dorm but they gave us 4-person and finally both of us occupied the whole room due to no full house during that time. very reasonable price and convenient. It's clean and safe. free internet. only 15 minutes walk...

The location is conveniant -- across from the train station and near enough to the beach. The price in awesome for the quality. Remember to take a picture of the sex shop across the street-- this location reminds me of Montmartre in the better areas (read: no prostitutes). I'd go back again.
