I stayed at the hotel in November 2007 with a friend of mine. I booked the this hotel based on the guest reviews and general rating and did not get disappointed. As a ***star hotel in Paris it was worth its room rate. The service given by the reception staff was excellent. A lady particularly, who was in duty most of the time was very friendly and helpful doing her best to make our visit in Nice enjoyable in spite of the rain, which destroyed our plan to play golf for 3 days. Good location as well.

this was a great disappointment. the room booked was uninhabitable. took a different room at an outrageous price for the quality. the facility has no public rooms, no internet, the facilities are in places threadbare, the linens dirty and they have an antiquated lighting system in the halls reminiscent of a 1950's British tenement house

WE STAYED IN LUCRECE ROOM FOR A 3 NGHT VISIT TO SEE NICE AND MONACO. THIS HOTEL IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT AND WE CAN RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WANTING GREAT VALUE, QUALITY, AND ESPECIALLY LOCATION. THE VIEW IS SIMPLY THE WINDOWS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SREET BUT THAT'S NOT A CRITICISM. YOU CANT HAVE EVERYTHING! FOR THE MILD HUBBUB OF LOCAL NIGHT LIFE CLOSE THE DOUBLE GLAZING. FOR SHUTTING OUT THE LIGHT, USE THE 'BLACKOUT' CURTAINS. FOR A GOOD NIGHT THE KING SIZE BED IS PERFECT. BATHROOM IS SUPERB. HARD TO IMAGINE GETTING THIS PRICE FOR THIS QUALITY NEARER THE SEAFRONT. ITS ABOUT 3 MINUTES WALK FROM THE SEAFRONT, LITERALLY JUST ROUND THE CORNER. IF WE WERE TO REVISIT NICE WE WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN. MANY THANKS TO ALL THE STAFF.

I was pleasantly surprised with the room. It was spacious, clean, and well decorated. High ceilings. Excellent location, close to restaurants and nightlife. Seafood restaurant Bocaccio nearby is superb.

I stayed at the hotel twice, once in a double with a friend and once in a single room. Both were lovely and themed, scherezade and roses, both spacious and clean. It's a very walkable city and this hotel puts you right in the center of the best starting point.

The Hotel Meurice is located in a very good spot-very close to restaurants, old town & Promanade. It is NOT Close to the train station-25minute walk with luggage, regardless of what staff says. Our suites were very large and mostly looked like pictures, but tiles are broken in bathroom and some repairs will be needed soon. DO NOT HAVE BREAKFAST HERE!!! AWFUL. Great food available very close by for less money. Staff was businesslike and efficient but not as friendly as our other hotels. Overall, Le Meurice is good, but we would stay in Cannes the whole time the next time.

This hotel is the perfect choice for the traveller with budget in mind, but who desires the best in location. It is located right where you want to be, a two block walk from the Promenade, a 5 minute walk from the Old Town, with the flower market, chateau and reems of cafes and shops. A pedestrian only area with other shops and cafes is located on the street immediately behind the hotel. We did not take breakfast in the hotel, so cannot comment on it, but there are scads of cafes right outside the door so it wasn't hard to find food. There is a bus stop 200 meters from the hotel for those who prefer to spend 4 euros on the 15 minute bus trip to the airport rather than the 37 euros we paid for a taxi from the airport to the hotel....(I assume the cost would be the same in reverse) The hotel itself is clean, the staff were more than helpful and friendly. All in all, I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants convenience without the otherwise ridiculous price tag of the Riviera.

We stayed at the Meurice a total of 3 nights. When we first arrived we actually liked the hotel since the location was really good and convenient to things in Nice. But then the trouble began, first with the attitude of the reception desk staff and then with the total lack of guidance and help with basic necessities. The bed that I ended up sleeping in had smelly sheets that were not fresh, but I tried to bear it and just didn't say a word, my mistake. The real surprises actually started to arrive when we came back on the first day and realized that no one visited and took care of our room. After we had to wait quite a while for fresh towels we just decided to live with it. The second day we came back and again our room wasn't made up, no fresh towels, the sheets still smelled, etc. When we informed the front desk about this they said that someone will be coming to clean the room in a few minutes, which they did. It was now 2:45 pm and we both just wanted to shower and clean up. When we asked the manager about our trouble she said that she was sorry, but since the cleaning staff had 30 rooms to clean, they just didn't reach our room by this time (they only had 23 rooms in total, not all of which were booked). The manager then proceeded to say "sorry" and run out of the door with her date and just leave us hanging. Bottom line, both my wife and I would rather have stayed at a youth hostel or any other hotel in the area and neither one of us actually has a good thing to say about this hotel. I would AVOID IT AT ANY COST. We actually walked down the boardwalk and found a much nicer hotel in a much better location for the same exact price per night, so I would search some more in Nice for a better place.

My bed was very short, I'm only 1m79cm, and I found the bed too short (I had to sleep diagonally). The breakfast was not worth the 9€, there is no buffet, and it's impossible to get what you want. For instance, when I asked for fruit yoghurt instead of natural (unflavoured) yoghurt, they said that was impossible. Likewise when I asked if they had cereals. I'd recommend guests to use the nearby bakery stores or supermarkets, which have an excellent selection of fruit, dairy products and bread. Cheaper and better.

This was the second time to use this hotel. The reason why I chose was access to the old town and city center which are both nice. During my 3 days stay, the computer of train station broke down and I had small trouble for making reservation of the train, but the lady at the reception desk kindly helped me.

Pay attention to the type of room available. We stayed in the Elegence Room located on a corner and it was great during the first stay. Upon returning we were given an Elegence room also, but it was MUCH different - very small, smoke laden and noisy with traffic - it was a center room. You are better off making sure that you get a room on the corner (numbers ending in 1). Other than that, we really liked it and would stay there again. Great location, great price.

Nettes Hotel in bester Lage. Nur 100 Meter zur Promenade de Anglais. Die Zimmer sind gemütlich. Leider nur ein deutscher TV-Sender. Parkmöglichkeiten sind direkt vor dem Hotel, wenn man Glück hat. Ein Parkhaus ist auch gleich daneben, das ist aber sehr teuer (23,-€/Tag). Insgesamt aber zu empfehlen, da es wirklich günstig ist. Wir kommen wieder.

The meurice is well located, the rooms are very small but for us was not a problem. We stay at the hotel for a weekend and I must say that for a small hotel is good enough, of course if you are looking for hygh quality hotel this is not the one, but for a short stay the relationship between price/quality is excellent. We would come back again.

It was a small but a very clean and welcoming hotel. Eventhogh I checked in at 8 AM, they provided a room for me with a very welcoming gesture. The room was pretty spacious for a single room(actually it was a double) and considering the price, I think it is one of the best choice of a three-star hotel that you can find in Nice. I really enjoyed staying there and if I have another chance to visit, I will be staying there again

A lovely hotel, in the heart of Nice, footsteps away from the old town and yet very quiet (our room overlooked the street). The hotel is also only a minute or two from the Promenade des Anglais/Casino. The staff were very helpful. The room was spotless and comfortable and the decor atmospheric and amusing - (we stayed in the Salambo Suite - all faux leopard skin!) A superb base from which to explore Nice. Breakfast is extra, but not unreasonable @ 9euro, and is served in your room. Consists of pain au chocolat, croissant, bread roll and doughnut (for each person) with preserves and yoghurt. Fruit juice and your choice of tea, coffee or hot chocolate are served with breakfast. However, there are a multitude of cafes and restaurants nearby providing a wide range of fare (including the full English breakfast if your arteries are flowing too freely). We plan to return to nice and hope to stay at the Hotel Meurice again.

It was a surprisingly nice stay at Meurice. The room faced the courtyard and was very quiet. It was spacious with a big shower cabin and working air conditioner. The TV was small and selection of channels was poor, but I did not come to Nice to watch TV. Location was superb - 200 meters from the beach, 50 meters from the main shopping area. The breakfast was expensive, but there were plenty of restaurants around the corner where I could eat at a half of the price. I will stay there again.

This was my first visit to this hotel and the location is wonderful - close to shopping, the beach and Old Town (Vieux Nice - Cours Saleya). I stayed in a Harmonie Double which is one of the more spacious room options. It was spacious enough but not much room for anything other than the 2 beds, desk and 2 chairs. It was very clean and cutely decorated. The bathroom was gleaming and seemed brand new. They offered a nice continental breakfast (though a bit pricey). I was completely satisfied with my stay. If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay this is it. The woman who I think is the owner was very kind and helpful, other staff were pleasant. If you are looking for tons of amenities and a glamourous room, this is probably not the place for you.

We stayed at Hotel Meurice for 3 nights. The room was of average size with a decent sized bathroom. The best thing about this hotel is its location - only one street back from Promenade Des Anglais and a 1 min walk to the main pedestrian shopping / eating area. We would definitely stay here again.

You can work a special deal with the garage, but still not cheap. Rooms were what we expected. Small fridgerator was nice. Great location, a minute walking distance from the beach. Would use it again.

Non suggerisco questo albergo a nessuno, le foto sul sito non rispecchiano assolutamente la realtà. E' un albergo molto triste e non ha parcheggio, cosa che situandosi al centro crea non poche difficoltà. La colazione non è inclusa nel prezzo e si paga 9 euro.

L'hotel Meurice, tutto sommato, ha soddisfatto le mie aspettative. In ottima posizione relativamente al mare, ai negozi, ai ristoranti ed alla zona pedonale; abbastanza vicino anche alla Vieux Nice,la stanza era abbastanza spaziosa ed il bagno lindo e pulito. L'unico appunto da fare è che al prezzo della camera doveva essere inclusa anche la colazione e che in futuro dovrebbero destinare una stanza per il deposito bagagli, visto che appena arrivati (ore 9:30) e prima di parcheggiare la macchina nel parking, non ci è stata data la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli prima di prendere possesso della camera (ore 13:30). Tutto lo staff era molto amichevole, compreso il tizio che da mezzanotte in poi restava addormentato alla reception, pronto a scattare come una molla con il rumore delle porte scorrevoli. Molto divertente. In conclusione penso che, ritornando a Nizza, si potrebbe soggiornare ancora una volta in questo hotel. Poteva andarci decisamente peggio... Complimenti a venere.com per la precisione del sito, dei tempi e della facilità di consultazione.

We found this hotel very central location wise and we enjoyed our stay very much. We could walk to the beach and the pedestrian shopping was right around the corner. We found overall the prices in Nice quite expensive and it would have been nice to have had breakfast included in the price of the room.

The hotel was obviously run down with poor access to air-conditioning even though it was quoted as being air-conditioned. I needed to ask the clerk to turn it on any time I wanted it. The bathrooms seemed clean but only on the surface.
