Hotel Acanthe, Nice (France) - Deals & Reviews

We have stayed here for years and we always try and get this hotel. It is excellent value for money, the rooms and clean though not very big but still very adequate. The staff are superb specially Katarina in the reception and Sebastian. The location is 100% perfect as you are tight in the hub of all the main places and the beach. Would always recommend and always intend staying here when in Nice.

The location was pretty central - 15-20 minute walk from the Ville train station, a 10-minute walk from both the beach and Old Town, and only 2 minutes from Place Massena. We paid a little more for a rotunda room overlooking some beautiful gardens and fountains; I think it was worth the extra money. The room's windows were large and beautiful, opening like doors and thankfully let a lot of much-needed air in, as the room was very hot and musty without any AC. The breakfast was an extra 5 euros per person per morning, but good and probably comparable to breakfast at a cafe. It included coffee or tea or juice, baguette, croissant and the usual condiments.

It didn't feel the cleanest. The carpet seemed dirty and was actually just laid over the old carpet. There was a floor-standing fan in the room which looked so old and dusty it seemed like it would be a health hazard to use it, and the room was quite hot and stuffy when we first arrived. There is no AC. Luckily the windows let a lot of air in to alleviate the problem. We slept with the windows open at night for the cool air, but if you are a medium-to-light sleeper, bring ear plugs because it is very noisy outside with the windows open. Thanks to the open windows, we got one mosquito in the room one morning, but I imagine that problem might be worse on lower floors (we were on the 5th floor). The bathroom seemed relatively new and clean, but the sink was so small I couldn't even wash my face without getting water all over the floor. It was as big as the sink in an airplane bathroom, and the shower was a bit small too. Smallness of the bathroom was only a minor factor, though.

We have stayed in this hotel already few times. Location is perfect, close to old part of town as well to beach. If you have Rotonde room, view is very nice and also room is spacious. Value for money!

Maybe carpet could be cleaner, but otherwise room was nice and clean.There is no conditioner, just ventilator. If you take double room take in account that there is really not much space in room and even less in bathroom.

Fantastic staff who all speak English.Great location. Close to bus and tram stops. Railway station is a 10 minute easy flat walk. Wifi available in comfortable lounge area. Umbrellas, towels and mats available from reception for the beach. Would stay again and recommend to anyone.

There is a breakfast available at the hotel for 5 euros - croissant and french bread was always stale. Would recommend a local cafe.

The best with this hotel is the location and the price! Its absolutely one of the best value hotels in Nice. Close to shopping, beach, and old town. Its a bit of a walk to the Bus and Train station but its no biggie, there are trams that take you pretty close.

There was a bit of noise from the outside, but hey, its in the middle of the city.

Perfect location! 3 mins to Beach and old town - the new town and station close still close by. We stayed in a rotunde room and the view and the room were brilliant for the price. We highly recommend these rooms as they are not much more than others but so much nicer - something a bit different - romantic even! Overall a very clean, friendly hotel with very efficient service, for a good price and in a great location.

Location was brilliant. Breakfast good value.Great view from room.Close to bus station for bus to/from airport.

Electric socket high on the wall. No good forcharging, hairdryer etc.Small room but fit for purpose. Very small lift. Maid could have been more thorough...made my bed with a brush in it.

We have stayed here now about 10 times and we come to NICE several times a year and usually stay at this hotel. It's location is superb as it is right in the heart of the city, so you get everywhere from this hotel so easily. It reminds me of the Pension style hotels of Europe and it is basic but comfortable and we just love it here.

I really liked our room on the top floor with the view to the gardens... It`s worth to pay extra 3 euro per night to get round room...

The room was clean, the personal very friendly. And it is a really cute hotel. If we had answers it was no problem to ask the personal - if they knew they answered all of our questions. If we come back to Nizza we would choose this hotel again.

The location of the hotel is perfect and the staff was very nice and friendly.

Noisy surraundings

fantastic central location. Our room even came with a balcony with view of fountains and it only cost 68 euros. Lovely croissant and bread for breakfast and the option of hot chocolate too.

The location of the Hotel is fantastic. I would recommend round rooms with the view over the Albert garden. The cost only a little more but are definitely worth it. Not a top star hotel but for a city trip where you dont stay at the hotel an entire day the value for money is very good.

Location was perfect, especially when we went out to party late evening and all the best places were very close, as well as beach etc. Hotel situated on smaller street so it is not too noisy. If the aim is to see the city or stay just overnight it is very good.

Rooms and also elevator quite small

Location is excellent, panoramic view room is absolutly fantastic-you can see beautifull gardens with fountains from the window! It is the old center, 10 minutes to Promenade des Anglais and the sea.

Too little bathroom with too little shower.
