Hotel Acanthe  

Location is good, close to Massena Sq. And old town. 15 min walk to the beach.

Terrible personnel and very bad rooms. Shower was leaking, very old and crowded room, stinking with sewage, very noisy from the street as in front of the hotel is residential building across the narrow street where living moroccans who listen loud arabic music all day long. Elevator did not work so had to drag luggage to the 4th floor. When tried to complaint to owner of the hotel that it was very hot and fan was not working she replied looking through the glasses and rolling her eyes that it's not 5 star hotel and what did we expect. Very rude and absolutely not friendly. SUch ppl should not work in hospitality!!!

The location

The room

Our second visit to Hotel Acanthe! The location of the hotel is excellent, just a few minutes away from the old town, the beach and the shopping streets. Public transport is nearby as well. The rotonde rooms have a great view. Ideal for a ladies' weekend 'low-budget-jet-setting' as we call it! No great luxury, but basic and clean; a delicious breakfast and friendly staff. Good value for money! We hope to come here again soon!

The location was just perfect, just “a toss” from the Old Town. However, being there, we discovered that there were more alternatives in the same price range having air condition. The reception was nice (especially Cathrine). However, there was one exception, an older lady, often sitting there in the afternoons. She was rude and not nice/service minded at all. It happened twice that the room wasn’t fixed and no towels were changed. I tried to get an extra towel, but NO despite appealing!! The total grading was lowered due to this.

The lack of air condition was very annoying. It was 28-30 c in the room. The high noise level from outside made it not too easy to sleep with open windows. Be aware of that the rooms are very small. I wouldn’t like to analyze the cleanness of the wall to wall carpet, it is better not to know…. The WC/shower was really a “slim line model”. You were better off using the towel outside after the shower. In one of the rooms there was a smell of mold in the wc (stayed in 2 different rooms). Moisture damages could be seen.

The location

The rooms were super small, the decoration was really old, they didn't have air conditioning

Location was excellent. We had a tower room and the view was just great. Reception and breakfast room staff were efficient & friendly.

Nothing really for the price and location - couldn't do better.

I was impressed with their cleanliness of the rooms. It is value for money and they provide straw mats, towels and umbrellas for the beach. The location is wonderful as you are 5-7 minutes from the beach and right in the middle of the busy city centre.

The rooms were very small so more than a few days trip would be uncomfortable.

Location.

First of all we booked a triple rom and we get a double one with extra bed which wasn't even a bed but a foldable thing that was falling down when you try to move it! All 3 beds where sticked to each other so no space to move at all. Luckily we didnt have much luggage. There were only 2 towels. We asked for 3rd towel to one recepcionist and when we came back no towel placed and we had to ask again to the 3rd receptionist we met in only one day! Not mentioning there were no shampoo or hangers. Night lamp was broken. When we wanted to pay, the 5th receptionist we saw there in 2 days, didnt have change and he even fall sleep and forgot to wake us up which could have costed us to miss our flight!

Very good hotel, especially at this price. Excellent location (in the centre, 10 min from the beach, <5 min from Old Nice, 5 min from bus station, 20 min from railway station) and at the same time in a quiet street, not too noisy. Clean rooms and WC. Everyday doing up and change of towels. No problems at all with plumbing, water supply, lift, fan, TV or anything else. Personnel is very polite, well-mannered and complaisant. They speak English, French, Italian. We asked to substitute a double room for a twin one and it was done on the following day, in spite of high season.

Bedsheets are not changed (they are clean though), beds are only tucked in. Maybe bathrooms are a bit too small, but for us it was OK (you spend there too little time).

Location is excellent

Excellent location, in the very center, 3 mins to the beach, 3 mins from the historical center and Messana fountain, price worths this location. Staff is very very nice.

Very low quality - budget hotel, room is really small, not clean enough, no hairdryer, but it was ok, because we spent there just couple of hours for sleep.

The staff were wonderful: pleasant, helpful, accomodating and friendly. We had the corner "Rotunda" room and it was delightful; fantastic view, comfortable bed and small but clean bathroom. The old fashioned lift worked perfectly. Excellent location for exploring Nice. I'd highly recommend it to others.
