I recently stayed at Hotel Excelsior Nice, and it was a fantastic experience. This boutique hotel has a unique and quirky charm, and its location is ideal – just a 2-minute walk from Nice-Ville Station and perfectly situated between the old town and the new town. From the moment we arrived, the entire team was outstanding – always polite, friendly, and incredibly helpful. However, I must give special recognition to Angel, who is truly an asset to the hotel. His hospitality, communication skills, and knowledge were exceptional. He was caring, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and enjoyable. The daily breakfast was fresh, delicious, and offered a great variety, setting us up perfectly for the day ahead. I highly recommend Hotel Excelsior Nice and will definitely be returning. A wonderful experience from start to finish.

Overall happy

Hotel is clean although no bedside table and worst of all NO INTERNET CONNECTION. STAFF very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is ok as long as you dont stay for more than 3 days as it is repetitive . Cappuccino was great.
