I'd forgotten what I'd booked and was pleasantly surprised to find it was relatively large. For the same money I could have had a tiny room in old town. Older style converted building. We had 5 windows on 2 sides of the building, usable balcony, slightly too small twin room and small but practical kitchen/dining room. Kitchen had everything needed. On a main road, but no problems with traffic noise. Aircon virtually silent, although in late May, I only tried it once and wondered why I was cold! 3 minute walk to the main underground tramline that runs between the airport and the marina in old town. 10min walk to the main railway station to catch trains to Cannes and Monaco. Easy walking distance to town. Lidl nearby, plus other super markets. Even one 2 doors away, with 95% of everything we needed. Plenty of restaurants nearby, Italian, French and majority of Asian.
Reasonable check in times and good Comms to confirm eta. Good check out time of 12 noon.
I think we were meant to empty our bins at the end of our stay, which I did, but thought was a bit much. Location is everything and I'd happily stay at this hotel again or in this area. The cheap efficient tram means it's worth looking beyond old town and what more you get for the price.
ps if you want a sandy beach, Nice has pebble beaches, so isn't for you. Try a short train ride to Cannes for the day. Don't bother with Monaco, it's souless.
