Hotel Ibis Styles Nice Centre Gare (Nice, France)

Guests rave about the hotel's location, noting the area is quiet despite the train station so close by. The beach is a ten-minute walk, and all of the other top sights are easily accessible via public transport, a short drive, or on foot.

The rooms are widely described as beautifully decorated, sparkling clean, spacious (by European standards, if not American), and very comfortable. Many enjoy a bit of fresh air out on the terrace or balcony, with a pretty city view from the highest floors. The air conditioning is quiet and effective, too.

Guests award the staff high marks for their cheerful, friendly attitude and hard work. The included buffet breakfast is widely described as varied and delicious, and travellers often figure it into the hotel's very good value for money ratio.

Guests appreciate the free coffee in the lobby, but wish for coffee machines in the room. A minibar, complimentary toiletries, and full length mirrors also make the wish list. Though the pool area is widely considered a nice bonus, some guests wish it were a bit larger.

Guests occasionally report an unpleasant sewage odour in the bathrooms. Some also report slippery floors after a shower, noting the door design doesn't always contain the spray.

Though the neighbourhood is widely considered safe and quiet, observant guests have commented that the atmosphere becomes a little less "family friendly" after dark.
