Not for the faint hearted!
Please do not be fooled by the lovely pictures and descriptions of this hotel on their website. This hotel is definitely only a 2 star hotel. Although a beautiful building, this hotel really does need some serious investment in. The previous comments about the breakfast are correct. There is never enough of anything i.e. cutlery, crockery and food, although to be fair, the young lady looking after this area responds very well when requesting items. Our suitcase had been tampered with by the in-house thief after we had packed our things... more

Dear Guest Thank you for commenting your stay at the Excelsior I have just taken over the place of the Excelsior Hotel Manager but I would like to answer your comment however. Concerning the refurbishment, it has been done during a month in December We also took good note about the cutlery & bought more to offer enough for the breakfast And concerning the problems which happened in the rooms, we changed all the hotel locks after the past incidents. Everything has now been done to provide an excellent service to our guests & I sincerely apologize in the name of the hotel Matthieu CROISIEZ - Manager

Walking Distance from Train Station
How disappointing to read the reviews on this hotel while we were enjoying our holiday!! We stayed at the Hotel Excelsior for 4 nights in July. We found the hotel easily and were able to wheel our cases from the train station without any problem. Camillo on the front desk was very friendly and his professionalism was of a high standard. A lady, of whose name we are not aware, was also friendly and helpful once we penetrated her aloofness. While on the subject of "front desk personnel", the gentleman on reception duties on our... more

Good location as previous reviews right opposite the train station and a short walk to the beach(stony beach not sand) The room ok overlooking the courtyard which was nice. Strange decor, red carpet, blue and yellow curtains and bedcovers,not in keeping with the type of hotel. Bathroom verrrrry small.don't know why it has 3 star rating breakfast was good.
Terrible Experience-500 Euros missing!!!
It is the second time i am staying in this hotel. The last time was 3 years ago in Aug. 2005. At that time, because i did not have the experience i thought it was a nice average and budget hotel and i gave it a try the second time. The third day of my stay there I went out of the room for 10 minutes to go for breakfast. When I returned back i noticed that all my money (around 500 Euros that i had in a handbag) were missing from my wallet!!! I reported the incident both to the Hotel Manager and the police and nothing happened. I left the... more

Dear Guest Thank you for commenting your stay at the Excelsior I have just taken over the place of the Excelsior Hotel Manager but I would like to answer your comment however. Concerning the money missing, we changed all the hotel locks & have some safety boxes available. Concerning, the police, I can’t understand why you didn’t hear from them after having complained. Everything has now been done to provide an excellent service to our guests & I present you my apologies Matthieu CROISIEZ - Manager

To Catch A Thief .......
Stayed 4 nights here in May as part of a Paris-South of France trip. Very convenient location to train station and bus stop to airport (about 5 minute walk with light-ish luggage) but you are walking upslope to the main road to the bus/train station from hotel. Also convenient to Ave Jean Medecin, which is the main shopping street and main through fare for the new and very cheap tram system in Nice. Hotel is also walking distance (15-20minutes) to bus stop at corner of Ave Hotel des Poste for buses to Grasse and St Paul de Vence. <br... more

Maggots in the room!!!!
I don't have plenty of time to write this review so I'll give the most important and my honest opinion/experience of our stay at the Excelsior Hotel on Durante, room 407…which lasted only one night. Absolutely horrifying experience after we woke up the next morning to see MAGGOTS all over the floors near the beds and close to our luggage (see pic) We were completely disgusted and what's worse the manager acted as if this was not a problem, as if he sees this type of thing all the time…better yet, he tried to tell us that we brought the... more

Dear Guest Thank you for the time you took to comment your stay at the Excelsior I have just taken over the place of the Excelsior Hotel Manager but I would like to answer your comment however. Concerning any kind of insects, we have of course a contract with a company to prevent & treat the rooms: of course we contacted them in the hour to warn them and ask them to come & treat the problem ! I sincerely apologize for having received the impression that the hotel management didn’t care & I assure you that it is very important to us. Matthieu CROISIEZ - Manager

Great location, friendly staff
The hotel is located on Ave Durante, about 200m from the train station and 1k from the beach and old town. The guide books say it is a seedy area of town but we thought it was fine - probably better than our neighbourhood! The hotels in this area are good value - we paid about £85 B&B. The hotel is clean and well maintained, there is a nice courtyard garden which you can take breakfast in. The owners and staff speak good English - and will help with your French. The rooms are big and comfortable - great air con. The carpets in the... more
Horrible hotel!
The hotel left really bad impression due to the following reasons: 1. rooms weren´t cleaned properly. We found somebodies hair in the bathroom and towels weren´t changed every day. 2. it was a real problem to find a clean spoon, fork or knife during the breakfast. There was a special box for clean spoons etc, but everything in this box needed to be washed at least 2 times more. I think that it´s not nornal if there are pieces of food stuck to the spoons, knifes and forks. 3. the most disgusting thing was gone bad eggs for... more

Dear Guest Thank you for the time you took to comment your stay at the Excelsior I have just taken over the place of the Excelsior Hotel Manager but I would like to answer your comment however. Concerning the forks missing, we bought a whole new set to provide enough of them even when a lot of persons have breakfast (which makes us think the quality of it is good) For the cleaning of the rooms, we were quickly aware of the problem & the person in duty wasn’t of our staff: we now double our effort to check the rooms & keep the good elements of our staff, at the desk, the breakfast or in the rooms, as we agree that this is part of the quality we wish to offer to our guests I do apologize for your stay & remain at your disposal Matthieu CROISIEZ – Manager

Bad reception
My friend & I stayed at the Excelsior in June of this year. We arrived early evening hot & tired having flown from the UK to Nice and then boarding the shuttle bus to the hotel. When we checked in at reception we politely asked if there was a provision for tea/coffee in the room and were rudely told by the receptionist that there was no provision and that "we weren't" in England now". Hardly welcoming! No, we weren't in England, where a little courtesy goes a long way. It's a shame that this initial rudeness had a bearing on... more

Dear Guest Thank you for the time you took to comment your stay at the Excelsior I have just taken over the place of the Excelsior Hotel Manager but I would like to answer your comment however. Concerning your stay, I’m happy that everything was fine. Despite of course your tea-coffee making facility: we do not provide this service in the rooms but do propose tea or coffee in the lobby. Concerning the rudeness of the welcome, I can only apologize for the person who welcomed you. Matthieu CROISIEZ - Manager

Good Value Hotel - Superb Getaway
I decided to book this Hotel on the recommendation of TA. I got a good deal through Alpha Rooms for 3 nights inc breakfast £210 for a double room. Our flight arrived quite early morning boarded th bus 99 outside Nice terminal 4euro (inc day pass on buses) and arrived at the Hotel at 9.30am (few minutes from train station). Our room was ready on our arrival, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast was nothing fancy but more than adequate and it was rather pleasant to eat this outside in the courtyard.<br... more
