Le Royal Hotel Restaurant sur Nice

A very pleasant experience, the room and bed were very comfortable, the food was excellent, the staff were smiling and attentive, a little noisy but that's the price of a superb central location, ideally less than a minute from the beach and all the shops.

In dire need of renovations. My initial room on the first floor smelled like sewage to the point where it was noticeable half a meter away from the doorway. The staff was very willing to help and I was relocated to the fourth floor, where thankfully the room smelled nice. The tradeoff was that it had a musty, damp carpet and a bathroom covered in mold. The towels were stained, the walls were stained, the cutlery was stained, every single thing in this place had some sort of stain or sign of wear on it. Griminess is so deeply ingrained into this hotel that I honestly don't think it's the cleaning staff's fault. The issues here are beyond just "cleaning". This is entirely the establishment's responsibility and the onus falls on them to refurbish the hotel. Despite all of this, the staff was very nice and helpful. I'm grateful for their assistance. I also did not come across any bedbugs if that's something you're afraid of. The placement of this hotel is the only reason why I've given it 3 stars instead of 1, because it was very easy to walk anywhere we liked with something interesting to see at every corner. However, I don't think you should be sacrificing the quality of your stay for the sake of easy access to the city. I had to lay down towels over my walking path in the room because of that biohazard of a carpet. There are buses and trams all over the city. I don't think it's worth the struggle. Until the hotel is somewhat renovated (and they take care of the growing ant problem), I wouldn't recommend staying here. Maybe for one night at most.

Excellent location right on the promenade. Hotel alittle old but the staff is very helpful.

We treated our in-laws to a stay at the Hotel Le Royal Nice through Smartbox, and they were delighted with their experience. They particularly enjoyed the room with its stunning sea view, as well as the excellent quality of the included half-board. The staff were incredibly attentive throughout their stay, making the experience even more enjoyable. The hotel is clean, as is the room, and the location on the Promenade des Anglais is ideal. One minor drawback, however, was a sewer smell in the bathroom, which could be addressed. But overall, it was a wonderful experience that we highly recommend!

Excellent value for money. The hotel is perfectly renovated and very well located.

Excellent sea front hotel. Room was lovely.

The hotel's location is ideal, just a 15-minute walk from Old Nice, and the sea view from the room is incredible. Be aware, however, of the noise from the cars on the Promenade des Anglais, which is always very busy at night... it's the price to pay for a room with a beautiful sea view on the famous avenue. The staff is professional, and the breakfast buffet is very good. On the other hand, a huge drawback is the hotel's "restaurant," which offers a set menu for dinner. I absolutely do not recommend the half-board option. The experience is more like a cheap canteen than a restaurant: the food is completely uninspired, the wine is served by the pitcher, and the sterile atmosphere is reminiscent of a hospital. I think the establishment could significantly improve to offer a more enjoyable dining experience!

We were in Nice to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The room was perfect and the balcony with the sea view from the 5th floor was the icing on the cake! . The location was brilliant, overlooking the promenade and the bay. They had also arrange for flowers and some fizz which I had requested. Nothing was too much trouble. We are looking forward to our next stay.

The hotel is very well located, more or less in the middle of the Promenade des Anglais and facing the beach. The decor is classic, with vintage photographs of Nice and its beaches. The rooms are spacious, with sea views if you select that option. The beds are large, with comfortable mattresses. The bathroom is also spacious. In my opinion, they need to improve the selection of body lotion and shower gel/shampoo instead of using a single container for everything. Including conditioner would also be nice. A complimentary bottle of water would also be a nice touch. Regarding breakfast, although there isn't a huge variety, the quality is good. One thing to note is that they asked for a €150 deposit upon check-in for our two rooms, in case you "damage" anything in the room...

Great hotel, the staff are very friendly, the room was spotless and the breakfast was plentiful. I highly recommend it.
