Property is in a good location and can walk to most places, Old Town and Museums in 25-30 minutes. Positives- restaurant very good quality food. Tried it for dinner one evening and paid similar amount we’d pay for a meal elsewhere. Breakfast was also good value with lots of choice, something for everyone including health conscious travellers. So if you like getting up for breakfast, I’d recommend paying for this with your booking which works out cheaper. We paid €21 each on the day. Rooftop terrace with swimming pool was a nice feature. Drinks served there at set times but we didn’t use this. The door lock of one of our rooms was faulty, the key fob would not work but this was quickly rectified by the staff and engineer. The property needs a bit of updating. Carpets in our room were marked and need replacing. Our sons’ bathroom screen wasn’t fully functional ie couldn’t be kept open or ajar. Basin drain smelled a bit. The gym was poorly equipped so some disappointment there. Overall an ok hotel, I’d rate it as a 3 star hotel. Ok stay, nothing special or amazing. A small Lidl was nearby for snacks and pastries (includes a bakery).

Do not get confused with the name says centre, this hotel is not even near central Nice or beach. We had to take taxi or walk every morning and evening to go to somewhere we can have food/drinks or site seeing. Hotel is just cheap nothing else.

I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding my recent stay at Novotel Nice Centre. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet the standards expected from your brand, and I am requesting a refund due to the following issues: • Uncomfortable beds that made it very difficult to rest. We had to ask that the spare bed be made up because we couldn’t sleep in the proper bed and in fact this was worst ! • Broken shower and screen, which caused inconvenience during my stay. And water to poor onto the floor which we had to keep mopping up. • Hotel pool out of service, with no prior notice given. The only reason we booked the hotel was because of the rooftop pool. • Unclean areas, including visibly dirty spaces around the hotel. • Lift service extremely poor, with waiting times of up to 20 minutes. • Very poor-quality breakfast, far below expectations for a Novotel hotel. • Broken public toilets, which were unacceptable in terms of hygiene and comfort. These issues severely impacted my stay and made the experience unpleasant and frustrating. I trusted Novotel’s reputation for quality and service, but what I encountered fell far short of that standard. Given the number and seriousness of these problems, I believe a full refund is a fair resolution. I kindly ask that you process this refund at your earliest convenience and confirm once it has been actioned. I hope this matter can be resolved swiftly and amicably. Thank you for your attention.

Bon dans l’ensemble , mais la piscine n’est malheureusement pas se dont je m’attendais , l’espace est trop petit , beaucoup trop familiale , donc impossible de même se baigner dans la piscine , Un regret immense étant donné que je réserve cet hôtel pour cela , Et une petite déception pour le petit déjeuner 22€ pour avoir des œufs brouillés immangeable et du jus d’orange en boîte de chez carrefour c’est un peu chère surtout que c’est quand même deux éléments important dans un petit déjeuner , Dîner : L’entrecôte était très bonne et les frites également , Et l’extérieur agréable ,

Good location. More 3* than 4*

Staff were pleasant enough; mostly…. However. Cleanliness in the rooms & bathroom could be improved. The pool bar wasn’t open during the day and when it was, past 3pm, the drinks menu was limited. Our flight wasn’t till later that evening and like many other hotels I’ve stayed in, including 3* hotels, there were no shower facilities to freshen up before the flight. I’d have happily paid a small fee for the privilege but this wasn’t even an option. More 3* than 4* sadly. The location was useful for old town visiting.
