“Worst Hotel I have ever stayed in”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I've travelled quite a lot and stayed in hundreds of hotels, and this is easily thee worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It looked cheap and cheerful on the site and from some reviews - but don't be fooled. We had a room with two beds in, and the room was so small the only way to actually get to the 2nd bed was to step onto the 1st bed, The room would have struggled to comfortably accommodate 1 bed.
Then, our phone didn't work, and the receptionist said he didn't know what to press for an outside line, nor was there anyone on duty to fix the phone.
When I asked for an extra pillow, I was given the key to another room and told to go into that room and take the pillow! This hotel makes guests fetch their own bedding!
If that wasn't bad enough, Breakfast was a joke. All that was available was a Coffee Machine which made very terrible coffee, two croissants with no Jam or Butter, Orange Juice and some Cereal. But no bowls or spoons, we had to eat our cereal from MUGS with FORKS. When we asked for bowls and spoons we were told there weren't any left.
Meanwhile the receptionist saw some of her friends outside and called them in, and 5 of them were sitting there laughing helping them selves to the "breakfast".
The TV in the room only picked up 5 channels and was about 10" big - useless.

And to top it all off, it is in Nice's Ghetto. The whole area smells of Urine, beggars on the streets and you hear more Arabic than French. This area is much more akin to Algeria both in Smell, Safety and Everything else.

I warn you now. DO NOT STAY AT THE HOTEL BRISTOL. You will regret it. It might be cheap, but in Nice you get what you pay for.

“Absolutely Awful!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2010
2
people found this review helpful

I recently booked a short break away to Nice and found this little hotel in what appeared to be a nice part of Nice.

Firstly, oh how mistaken I was, when we got there the area was full of youths drinking and shouting on the streets (this did not quiet down all night).

We found the hotel and checked in, the Man at check in was very friendly (the only good feature of the place).
There was a group of young students sitting in the loby playing loud music whilst we were trying to check in, this made it quite difficult.
So we were given our room key and told where the room was. I walked into the room and there was one minor part missing, there was NO BED!

Finally we got in a room that had a bed, it was dirty (although the sheets appeared clean), it smelt and there was rubbish in the cupboard. The bathroom was the smallest I have ever seen.

This is where the noise came into play. we went to bed, which I might add was the worst bed we would have been better off sleeping on the floor, and could hear the noise outside, 11 o'clock came, then 12, 1, 2 and the noise had still not died down, 3, 4, it carried on all night!

If you are using the place as a crash pad for a night out then this will probably suit, but if you are planning on sleeping at all then I would really look into something else.

I had originally booked in for two nights, we checked out the first morning and booked into another hotel that morning.

I will never recommend this hotel to anyone, nor will I stay there again, simply put, this was an awful experience!

“Good location, newly renovated”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2009

My experience here was nothing but positive. The hotel was renovated very recently---it was very convenient to walking around Nice and seeing the sites. The hotel is small and basic, nothing extravagent which is fine when you are on a budget. But it was clean and the hurniture was new. I would stay here again.

“Bad Hotel in bad area”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2004
4
people found this review helpful

My family of 4 stayed at Ideal Bristol Hotel in Quad ensuite room two days in Aug 2003. We didn't expect a luxury hotel but it is not worth to pay 135 Eur for this room. The room was tiny and ugly, the bathroom very small but the worst was the horrible views from the window. We could see all neighbourhood because the street was very narrow and you had the windows of your neighbours sleeping with the windows open just three meters in front of your eyes even with inadvisible people sleeping drunk on the street. Go to other hotel in a different area!
