The whole staff made our stay 5 star all the way!This Hotel is a perfect place to stay on your trip to Nice!We will be staying here again when in Nice . ##### Exie Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### sam 11 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ (3.5 stars) We stayed at Hôtel Excelsior by HappyCulture for five nights. The location is a big plus — just a few minutes’ walk from the Nice-Ville train station, making it convenient for day trips to nearby destinations like Èze or Monte Carlo. The hotel also provides a complimentary filtered water and coffee station, which is a thoughtful touch. The front desk staff were consistently helpful and professional throughout our stay. However, the room setup left much to be desired. The “king-size” bed was actually two single mattresses joined together, making it impossible to get a good night’s sleep. There was no electrical outlet in the bathroom, and the room design included several unusable millwork cavities instead of practical closet space. The door closers on rooms were extremely loud, often startling us when others exited. Lastly, the breakfast quality didn’t justify its price. Overall, a convenient choice for train travelers with courteous staff, but with several comfort and design issues that hold it back from being a truly enjoyable stay. ##### sam Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zoe 20 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing and helpful staff and clean facilities ##### Zoe Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 1 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We absolutely loved this property.

This boutique hotel has a unique and quirky charm, and its location is ideal – just a 2-minute walk from Nice-Ville Station and perfectly situated between the old town and the new town. From the moment we arrived, the entire team was outstanding – always polite, friendly, and incredibly helpful. However, I must give special recognition to Angel, who is truly an asset to the hotel. His hospitality, communication skills, and knowledge were exceptional. He was caring, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and enjoyable. The daily breakfast was fresh, delicious, and offered a great variety, setting us up perfectly for the day ahead. I highly recommend Hotel Excelsior Nice and will definitely be returning. A wonderful experience from start to finish. ##### hitenkumar Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica Jean 13 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The location was a pleasant walk to/from the shore, plaza, shopping, old town, restaurants.

It was the worst room. I strongly do not recommend especially if you are planning to stay in a group of 3. Many of the staff are very nice and the front building exterior is very cute. The building we were guided to was an old two-storey building behind the front building and the pool. It's a terrible room with a small, mildewy smell and dusty look. There are always people by the pool, so you can't open the windows or curtains.There is absolutely zero privacy. The room is very compact that there is no space to open your luggage. I moved the annoying closet in the middle of the room and found a lot of dust and insects. The air conditioner smells mildew, and my throat hurts the moment I enter the room, and since we cannot open the window, the air makes us difficult to breathe. I asked the front desk to change rooms, but on the first day they told us that the room was full, and on the second day they said they need to clean the room and can’t change it. Even after saying this, they didn't refund so we checked out for our well being. It's not a space for humans to stay. The WiFi is very slow (0.4mbps) a frustrating online experience. The old two-storey house and the front building is disproportionate for the same price. ##### kayoko Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Chun Lam 11 Aug 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Over priced and over rated hotel Hotel is dated. Beautiful photos that you saw when booking has cheated us. Very small rooms and too expensive for this quality of hotel. I think a two stars is maximum I would give. Far from anywhere. Nothing in the surrounding, only surrounded with old residential buildings. Not worth the price ##### Chun Lam Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Antigoni 15 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great. Enjoyed our stay. Staff went out of their way to be very accommodating. Each and every staff member we came across was so lovely and friendly. Property (reception) was very clean… breakfast in the morning was simple but nice. Only thing I would say is that you should get to breakfast before 10.00am otherwise there will be nothing left to eat. We were left without eggs today when we arrived at 10am which was quite sad… their eggs (which we were “in time” for the previous day) were awesome and tasty! Just wish we got what we paid for in terms of buffet breakfast… especially considering breakfast finishes at 10.30am. Anyway… on the whole really great experience. Would strongly recommend. In terms of location - I’m sooooo glad I picked this stay! Walking distance to all of the main sights!!!! Brilliant! ##### Antigoni ### 6/10 Okay #### Katharine 14 Jul 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Could be great but quite shabby, they’ve stuck new things on top of areas that need work. The toilet was in a cupboard and you could not close the door if sitting down! The shower flooded every time, much too powerful for space, bathroom extremely tight. Bed was ok but not much room round. Having the balcony was nice but you wouldn’t want to sit out as so neglected. There was no water in rooms and small glasses in machine in lobby area. We were told it was due to legislation on plastic, but our next hotel had bottles in rooms. ##### Katharine Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Express Nice Grand Arenas by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Nice-Grand-Arenas.h48638486.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Nice Centre Vieux Nice](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Novotel-Nice-Centre-Vieux-Nice.h19202.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Du-Cap-Ferrat.h19958.Hotel-Information) > > [OKKO Hotels Nice Aéroport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-OKKO-Hotels-Nice-Aeroport.h68057128.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Nice Aeroport Promenade des Anglais](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Nice-Aeroport-Promenade-Des-Anglais.h14770907.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Nice Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Nice-Centre.h3883863.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Suites Nice Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Novotel-Suites-Nice-Airport.h2019754.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel du Pin Nice Port](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Pin-Nice-Port.h1126242.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Nice](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-NH-Nice.h2559525.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Saint Paul Hôtel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Le-Saint-Paul-Hotel.h7763154.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Nice Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Nice-Airport-Hotel.h889870.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Suisse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Hotel-Suisse.h54965.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Nice](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h28621.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Nice Aéroport Promenade des Anglais](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Ibis-Nice-Aeroport-Promenade-Des-Anglais.h18176.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel La Pérouse Nice](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Hotel-La-Perouse-Nice.h6038.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxotel Cannes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cannes-Hotels-Luxotel.h909465.Hotel-Information) > > [Nice Pam Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Hotel-Apogia-Nice.h13283.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartment with a swimming pool and a beautiful view of the sea, city & mountain.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Apartment-With-A-Swimming-Pool-And-A-Beautiful-View-Of-The-Sea.h32149310.Hotel-Information) > > [Servotel Saint-Vincent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Servotel-Saint-Vincent.h2687925.Hotel-Information) > > [Cap d'Antibes Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cannes-Hotels-Cap-D-Antibes-Beach-Hotel.h2668807.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Nice Vieux Port](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Nice-Vieux-Port.h914323.Hotel-Information) > > [Welcome Hôtel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Welcome-Hotel.h3799530.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Nice Grand Arenas by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Nice-Grand-Arenas.h44804532.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartment with spectacular sea view fronting the Promenade Des Anglais in Nice](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Apartment-With-Spectacular-Sea-View-Fronting-The-Promenade-Des-Anglais-In-Nice.h23315332.Hotel-Information) > > [Nemea Appart`Hotel Riviera Nice Aeroport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Nemea-Apparthotel-Nice-Riviera.h75699602.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Villeneuve Loubet Plage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Mercure-Villeneuve-Loubet-Plage.h1214385.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Access Nice Garibaldi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Access-Nice-Acropolis.h1276602.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Nice Californie Lenval](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Nice-Californie-Lenval.h119464.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Nice Promenade des Anglais](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Nice-Promenade-Des-Anglais.h3696.Hotel-Information) > > [easyHotel Nice Old Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-EasyHotel-Nice-Palais-Des-Congres-Old-Town.h42353449.Hotel-Information)
