Brilliant! the staff were so helpful and fun, they even upgraded us from a 13mixed dorm to a 2 person room because they had extra space. the brekky is great and overall there is a great atmosphere. Would recommend it to anyone!

this hostel was so much fun, the bar downstairs had really cheap food and drinks, free internet although the computers were a bit old and slow. very big and busy but it was great, and the shuttle to and from the tram stop helped a lot (the public transport in Nice is super cheap too)

The dining area is large and convenient with basic breakfast available evry morning. The dinners are reasonably priced and good meals. The internet is very slow but handy to have available at anytime. The shuttle is helpful but I preferred to walk to the tram stop (10 mins) Most of the staff are very helpful and friendlyclose

some staff were a bit cold and unfriendly, but for a big hostel in the off season, it still had a lot of character. my room was really really hot for mid november...breakfast really is the absolute best and so are the dinner options and cheap alcohol! definately reccommend it

Great social bar & overall atmosphere. Tradeoff is considerable noise on busy nights. Shuttle makes up for the location.

This place was unbelievable. Best hostel I've stayed at in Europe. Get the meals that they offer at night, they are cheap and excellent. The huge common room is fun, and you can't argue with tall-boy beers out of the vending machine for 1 euro.

My second time staying here, and I was just as happy as the first time. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the whole place has a great atmosphere. I really like that the shuttle van runs back and forth to the tram stop very frequently...saves a walk up the big hill!

AMAZING!!! That is the only way to describe the Villa... I don't think it's possible to find a bad thing to say about the place... The worst part is trying to decide which one of all their cereals you want in the morning...

Está lejos del centro pero te recogen cuando quieras con la furgoneta en la parada del tranvia. Buen desayuno, varios ordenadores con conexión a internet, bar-cafetería con buenos precios. El personal sólo habla inglés y el albergue está lleno de anglofonos, parece una colonia inglesa.

Very peaceful--away from Central Station and the crazy beach hostels--yet that's also a bit of a problem--its far away from everything. If you are staying in Nice for your second time--or staying for a while and not into being right by the beach--this hostel is a good little hideaway--great...

The location isn't as bad as people say, just be prepared to walk if you're returning to or leaving the hostel between 12 and 6 (or just look for people who are checking in that are waiting for a ride.close
