Hôtel les Cigales  

It was nicely located, close to the beaches and the tourist area, not far from the train station and sights we could walk to. Hotel staff was very helpful. Room was large. Hotel and rooms were very clean.

The shower enclosure/doors were tiny even though there was space for a larger unit. Thank goodness we are 'fit' people! The air conditioning did not work well. We needed to duck our heads getting to the bed due to the low slope of the ceiling. The windows were dormers, very high up. We could not see out of them. It was expensive for what we received.

Very helpful staff - supplied map and discussed places worth visiting on arrival; great location - all places within easy reach: public transport,beach, restaurants, shopping etc; hotel and room very clean, crisp bed sheets, comfy bed and pillows, bathroom with both bath and shower - maids in daily to clean and with clean towels etc. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and recommend to others for the above reasons.

Breakfast was expensive although there was a range of items to select but comparing with prices in surrounding cafes it was highly priced.

small, well positioned and clean hotel - generally a good chioce

we were at the 2nd floor. big room but in a mansard! I could not walk on half of it - not nice

The hotel is well located, near to the beach and the old town.

The walls from the rooms are no so good soundproof so you will hear all the annoying sounds from your neighbors.

Friendly service, helpful tourist guidance, flexible and a great location

street noise an occupational hazard in a big city

Front desk was wonderful & welcoming, explaining sights etc. Appreciated the safe in the room.

Our room was tiny, corner shower was tiny! Could hardly turn around at all in the shower. Looked at the breakfast, decided to go elsewhere as offering was limited & expensive. This hotel did not live up to the reviews I had read.

Central location was appealing. Rooftop terrace was a nice place to relax. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Shower cubicle was cramped. Shower doors were difficult to operate. Absence of bidet. Room was small.

Very well located. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean, comfortable hotel

Somewhat small and lacking in extra facilities.

Very friendly and helpful hotel staff. Excellent location. We three adults shared a large family room with more than enough space for our luggage. Buffet breakfast good - all in all it was our best stay of the three hotels we stayed in.

Nothing

The Cigales is a clean, comfortable hotel in an average location for Nice. The rooms were well furnished and large, it was in easy walking distance to a small pedestrian area and the promenade. (Though it was quite far from Vieux Nice and the port.) They had beach mats and umbrellas to borrow, and the staff was exceptionally nice and helpful.

It was just fine, but that's it. I debated and debated about where to stay in Nice, and chose this based on reviews and it's recommendation in Lonely Planet. I think it's over-hyped. It's basically just a totally fine hotel. The location was fine, the room was fine, etc. When booking I was also seriously considering the Le Royal, Albert 1er and the Mercure Nice Marche Aux Fleurs. They were all around the same price. Obviously I don't know what the interior of the other hotels looked like, but I'd prefer all of their locations (the Mercure MaF in particular). If I were to do it again I would stay closer to the Promenade and Vieux Nice. I don't mean to put the Cigales down, as I said it was a perfectly adequate hotel that was clean and furnished well. It just wasn't anything special and I think overpriced for what it is.

Friendly, quiet, close to everything and all. The price was right for us. Willing to work out problems.

I booked a room for 2 and was given a double bed. No where was I asked if I wanted 2 single beds. The person I traveled with was very upset when she saw just one bed. We were given a folding bed and all went well.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff

Very nice staff, very good location and quiet,room and specially the bathroom was pretty clean,

They don't provide any parking for your car if you travel with your car and the nearest public parking is too expensive (24 euro /day) but its relatively close to the hotel (4 blocks away).
