I think this hostel was very overated. The rooms were so so small and they smelt. Also the door to get into our hall way to our bedrooms was very tempormental, one night we ended up in the hall way for hours! trying to get in!!!

CRAMPED! The rooms are small, but that's what you get when you pay this price to stay two very short blocks from the beach. The bathroom could have been cleaner, but I suppose when you have so many people using one bathroom you cannot expect hostel staff to keep it clean all day long. The... more CRAMPED!

We stayed for 2 nights and had a good experience! Very near to the Train station as well as the Beach. The staff was also very helpful

We had a lovely time here, everything was clean, it was nice to get towels! (as a backpacker, you take pleasure in the little things) The location was fantastic and we really enjoyed ourselves.

A really good hostel, one of the best I stayed at on my trip when you look at the mix of price, location and staff. Not the best kitchen facilities, but really, thats pretty small in comparison to all the great things here.

The room was nice: had a clean bathroom, comfy beds, and even a sink, fridge, hot plate and dishes. I can imagine that during the summer, this place would be awesome. Two blocks from the beach and extremely close to a busy pedestrian street with excellent shopping and restaurants. Also, a nice little breakfast shop around the corner (Coffee-to-Go). Excellent price for this place!close

This place was literally a minute from the beach and there are plenty of shops on the street for food, wine, souvenirs, or anything else you need! Having free internet in the lobby and TV in the room was great, too.

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...

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.

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 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!
