The only complaint I have about the Excelsior is that when we visited they were doing renovations so the common areas were messy and noisy. Of course they did not tell us this before we arrived. That said, the service was excellent. Due to the inconvenience of the renovations we were offered a complementary breakfast, a 9 euro value. Also... More

Lovely stay. Near the train station. Nice walk down the main street to the beach. A very kind staff member gave me a French power adapter after I forgot to get one. Wifi. Great beds and pillows, and a wonderful breakfast.

This hotel is mere yards from the train station (which is not the greatest area) but was surprisingly inexpensive. The rooms were very comfortable, the staff attentive and the optional morning breakfast well stocked and a good value to start each day.

Very friendly staff who spoke English, fantastic continental breakfast with good coffee on tap. Rooms were small but adequate - only complaint in our room was the WC,... More

We stayed at the Excelsior for 11 nights. It has been a fantastic location with about 10-15 restaurants within a 4 block area, two bakeries, and several stores. It is one block from the train station and three blocks from the tram. The hotel clerks all speak English and have been very helpful. They have WiFi for free and one... More

I chose this initially based on a map of hotels close to the central train station in Nice as I would be using that transportation mode for this trip. The hotel is very nice and the staff is very friendly with excellent English (and I am sure many other languages). The rooms are small but clean and the beds were... More
