81%Hotel Meyerbeer Beach

This hostel was awesome. The staff was really helpful and took great care of us. It's like a minute walk to the beach and its right next to a major pedestrian street with a bunch of cafes and shops. The only downsides were that there were no lockers (but I still felt like my stuff was safe) and...

the hostel is 2 minutes by walk to the beach, very good location. I have to say that the staff was Ok.. but for the rest, the place is clean, little kitchen in the room. Good place to stay.

Bathrooms were very hard to deal with, water got everywhere. Also the rooms were very small, our luggage seemed to overpower the rooms. Also one of our beds broke literally right from under ourselves. The location was good though, a little farther from the train station than we thought.

Meyerbeer is really well located. its close to nearly everything. The free internet is a bonus, however the 8pm closing time of the reception was ridiculous. The rooms were fairly clean but a little small. The ´kitchen facilities´are just a microwave and fridge. It was still a good hostel.

Perfect place to stay. It was off-season so the price was outstanding. Everything was excellent. Only complaint was the free internet was closed at 8pm.. but otherwise its an amazing deal two blocks to the beach.

Stayed here for the Marathon des Alpes-Maritimes between Nice and Cannes as it was only 500m from the starting line. Great location, it's even nearer the prom and beach, a short stroll from the train station and old town too. Very good value for money too - got a hotel-style room for a...

Average hostel. Pros: Staff go out of their way to help and the best location. Cons: smallish room for 8 people, but what do you expect for so little!! Would stay here again.

The location is awesome, only one block to the beach and about 10 minutes to Old Town, but if you're traveling alone there really isn't a common area where you can meet people.

they need to make the rooms 6 bed dorms instead of 8. it´s way too cramped . there´s no room ro move. calling a microwave in a cupboard a kitchenette is false. the closing of reception at 8 is rediculous. the "common room" i.e the reception/internet spot/dining area/common room is...

The staff members are extremely nice and helpful. And it is the most affordable place to stay in Nice. Every night we stayed there, we met cool people to go out with, etc. Just a tip, splurge the extra 4 euros a night and reserve the 4 person room. It is the same size as the 8 person room, except with half the people. Plus, it actually feels more like a hotel.close

Staff friendly and helpful. Had we been staying longer than a short overnight stint then the in-room kitchen would have been very handy, a great feature. The location was quite good, a short walk from the train station. A nice environment, free tea and coffee a nice touch.

The beach is a big bonus. Rooms are very small and there is no kitchen. There is a terrible smell of garbage as you enter the building.... It's okay. The odd Englishman will attempt to involve himself in all conversations within earshot so beware!

Great location right near the beach. The staff were somewhat helpful to not at all depending who was working (the younger of guy seemed to think it was a club hangout...) Lights in the bathroom stopped working so they gave us flash lights... But overall not a bad place

Was in a good location near the beach. We where mislead be the `cooking facilities` in all rooms, it states on the website. A microwave to me is not cooking!! Apparently there are cooking hobs in some rooms. Our 8 bed dorm very crowded!! Not much room for bag or to get past your room mates....
