Residence Lamartine - Nice

The lady in charge of the hotel has been really helpful when our flight was cancelled and had to stay in Nice for another night. She was able to accomodate us for another night although we called her close to midnight (cos reception closes around 7pm). Only negative point is that we stayed for a total of 3 nights and as there is no cleaning of the rooms during the period, we only had 1 toilet roll for the 4 of us, so its a little inconvenient so make sure you guys asked for more when you check in or when the reception is open.

Great place to stay if you are going for a short break to Nice. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms - i think the bigger rooms would be better for a longer stay. It had kitchen facilities in the room so you didnt always have to eat out which was nice.

Davvero molto nuovo e molto carino, peccato che a nizza la vita notturna non è un granchè.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Monique was an excellent host, welcoming us and accomodating our every need. The location was perfect, easy walk to main train station and to beach. Great food market right around corner. Would stay here again, only in a bigger room. We were a bit cramped in the bedroom, but the bathroom was very big, that helped.

Exceptional value. Clean. Comfortable. Clever and plentiful amenities. Great location. Convenient. Close to train station and close to city centre without the noise and in a good, safe neighbourhood. Good location from which to see what Nice has to offer in sightseeing. Good location from which to take in the nightlife. Would return in a flash.

We liked the Residence Lamartine very much. The room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The woman who welcomed us was friendly, helpful and spoke English. Location was convenient to train station, bus station, main street (Jean Medicine) and local buses. It was just one block from the Notre Dame church, and maybe 3 blocks from the Monoprix where we bought groceries. It was a fairly long walk down to the old city, beach, and Gare Routier (bus station for buses to Monaco, Eze, and along the Riviera) but there were local buses (1,2,17,and 18) that stopped a couple blocks down Lamartine and went down there. Bus was only 1.3 euro, local and to Eze, Monaco and other Riviera destinations. We definitely would stay there again and recommend it to family and friends. It was a little difficult to find. Just a small sign above the door. The address is correct but we walked right by the first time and local people didn't know when we asked for Lamartine Hotel. Remember it is a residence, apartments, not a hotel.

We stayed in a spacious and clean appartment,with a well equipped kitchen.The lady of the house was very friendly. Trainstation and supermarket was very close,and also to the boulevard,the markets and the Old Town was not far. We had a wonderful stay and if we go to Nice again we sure will stay again in this appartment.

I loved the location. I found the kitchen to be equipped sufficiently that I could walk to Nice's market, purchase food, and cook meals. The spot was excellent for us, who traveled by trains, but it could be a difficult area to park a car. It's only a 15 minute walk to the beach.

NO! Wouldn't stay here again. Not the best area to be at night. The owner/operator was rude and unaccomodating. The room was beyond being outdated and extremely small. Bed was old and didn't feel any more comfortable than a sofa bed. We needed to cancel one night of the three night reservation, but she refused to credit us the night. It was so bad of an area & accomodation, I would never return to this place or Nice- no matter how desparete for a place to stay.

The rooms are very clean and neat. We got a room which was away from the road and it was completely silent. The Best part of Lamartine was they have full fledged kitchen, which is very handy when you stay for a week or so. The lady is kind enough to provide basic things like Salt & Washing Soap in the room so you dont need to buy them (take them with you). The Bathroom was very neat and clean. It was much bigger than a regular 4-5 Star hotel which charges you 100+ Euros. The location of the hotel from the map is a little confusing. From Station go to Avenue Jean Meridian and keep walking towards the Beach until you find Notre Dam, take a left turn and at the next junction take another left. The place is right in front of the Bus Stop. The location of this hotel is a little away from the Beach (around 1KM).

We have stayed in various hotels in Nice. This one has been the best so far. Being an appartment, it offered a total independence (own kitchen etc)and a feeling of being at home rather than hotel. Room was very quiet and nice. The bathroom was fantastic - huge and nice. Hotel is one block away from the main shopping area of Nice - Ave Jean Medicin. Beach is 10 min walk. We will definitely stay in this hotel again. I recommend it to anyone who seeks peaceful and independent holidays.

Lovely place. marble staircases adorned with Dali prints and chandaliers isn't what you expect for this price but it's what you get. Rooms were much bigger than the pictures suggest, it's about 5 mins walk from the train station / tourist office, 10 mins walk to the old town, 20 mins walk to the beach and 2 mins from the main shopping street. Couldn't believe our luck. Fully air conditioned, fridge was cold, telly worked, bed was perfect. In all, it was a great stay and well worth the price. You could have stayed in a grotty hotel for the same money. There's a €50 deposit on arrival that wasn't mentioned, but you do get it back once you don't destroy the room. And there's a mad evil looking dog roaming the lobby but don't let him scare you. Woof Woof!

While we arrived Nice, the mainstreet was under construction, this hotel is unknown to most of local people, and most of the road nearby is one way street,so it was very difficult to find by car. By walk is better. Room is not very clean. The most terrible thing for us is, they NEVER clean the room,never change any towel, never take any rubbish no matter how long you stay! We were not informed by Venere or the hotel abt this! No parking place, should park in a public parking house with extra charge. In general We are very dissapointed and do not recommand to stay in this hotel. Leien/Germany
