Hotel Amaryllis - Nice

Nice Hotel and very well Located! i recomend it!

It's a little difficult to find this hotel from the train station,but not far.the room is not big but clean.the staffs are friendly.can walk to the beach in 20min

Very good location. The building looks scary and needs rennovation. Inside is not that bad, though. Room: fair. You shouls always remind/ask staff for clean towels otherwise they might forget. There is NO canal in the bath?! I was shocked. Only in the shower, plus a barely useful curtain, which does not stop water to run out and make a slippy lake into the common bath space. Anyway, if you don't intend to stay in the room more than necessary, i.e. to sleep there, it's OK for a 7-days stay.

It's very convenient to arrive the hotel from Nice railway station. And the reception stuff is very friendly. But room is small and old vs. photo showed on website.

This is one of the best 2 star hotels I have found. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and always polite. The room was clean, comfortable and, most important of all during a very hot week in June, the air-conditioning worked fine and was very quiet.The location is excellent: just 5 minutes walk from the station, 10 to the town centre and 5 more to the old town and beach. Forget the nonsense about the area near the station not being safe, I saw absolutely no evidence of this. Nice is a wonderful place to visit and an ideal centre from which to visit this wonderful region of France.

Clean, tidy, good position, BUT!!! very tired, hugh crack in vanity basin only hand towels available for all uses. broken springs in bottom of the mattress. good position to train station and sight seeing. would not recommend until up grade was done

After the sightseeing and coming back to the hotel, we are going to have shower, and it didn't work properly. We were said the rooms were full and there's nothing they could do. We spent the night showerless. They offered the breakfast for free of charge. We chose to leave Nice earlier to the next destination where we expect the proper bathroom, and paid in full. I cannot recommend this hotel if you except the proper room, I'm afraid.

This hotel is convenient in that it is close to the station but the area around the station is pretty grim and didn't make me feel overly safe as a single female traveller. The room was clean but old and had water stains on the walls, and on the bathroom ceiling. I'm glad I was only here for 2 days.

The hotel is located near to the train station, so it's easy to get there. It has an elevator and air condition. I spent one night there and had no warm water the day I arrived. Therefore I got the breakfast for free and I had warm water on the next day. A disadvantage are the thin walls, so that you hear your neighbours... All in all I found it a bit expensive.

The air conditioning was great as it was very hot. location was good and the employees were friendly and helpful. I would stay there again.

The location is a block from the train station, which is really nice - about half way between sites and the beach. The room was perfectly sufficient, and the shower worked well. The wireless is in the lobby, so it works for the first floor or two, but not outside of that. The shower towel was the size of a hand towel. Also the staff didn't really know the best way to get to sites, so I recommend you walk to the Tourist Information office at the train station an ask there, as the directions I got were generally wrong. Those were my only complaints. Great value.

Good for an overnight stay in Nice, though first impressions of the surrounding area, which is near the railway station can feel a little unsafe, though in fact it wasn't. Staff very welcoming and looked after our luggage for us the next day until we were ready to leqve Nice.

Very expensive compare to the facility offered. Hotel is located in a communities with lots of foreign restaurants and supermarkets (Chinese, Japanese, Vietnam, muslim, etc)

We used this hotel for a one night stay while 'escaping the volcano' as it is convenient for the main station. It was very good value for money, a good sized room, clean and generaally worked well. (Shower not brilliant). Staff friendly. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that.

The hotel is conveniently located near the train station. I would recommend it to other travellers.

Was okay for the price, staff friendly, clean towels ect.

Typical budget hotel; slightly shabby and amateurish but then what would you expect with the low price? Staff were friendly and welcoming, the room was clean and had basic amenities. Overall a very nice stay, no problems with the hotel itself, however some of the guests were very noisy in the middle of the night - staff intervention would have been welcome. If you are looking for a somewhere cheap and cheerful to stay, then Amaryllis is at least as good as any of the others. I would gladly stay again if in Nice on my own; however if you are travelling with small children or looking for a romantic getaway, this is probably not the best option.

I really liked Amaryllis. It was quite comfortable to stay in. A basic but nice room, I liked interior colors (so French) and windows. The shower was ok. Good conditioning system. Though my windows faced the noisy street it was pleasant to watch the life in the town. When you close the windows the room looks to be soundproof. The staff was friendly and helpful. They helped me with facilities and information and tips as to the best plage (beach). The hotel location is more or less good. It is close to the central train station, main streets and beaches. It took me about 20 min to get the beach. I felt quite at home in this hotel. It is small but cosy.

Window shutter may be replaced!more breakfast for 7euros!

Perfect locations when you travel by bus and train, and not too fare from the Beach and the old City.

We had a one-night stay at this hotel within walking distance of the train station. We found the hotel convenient, quiet and in an area populated with many interesting restaurants. The hotel was more than adequate for our needs (in transit) and we are sure that a longer stay would be comfortable (it has air conditioning). The price/quality balance was bang on!

Un hôtel sans intérêt particulier mais tout à fait honnête.

The soap and shampoo are only provided 1 time 2 days.

Positives? It was close to the train station and right across the street from a police sub-station. It was also not far from the main street and public transportation. Staff was friendly and helpful. Negatives? The room itself was very run-down. Signs posted forbidding food in the rooms made me wonder if the 'night visitors' would be joining me in bed.(They didn't.) Hallway lighting was minimal. I would not recommend this hotel, unless you are truly looking for the economy path and will not be spending much time in your room.

The hotel is placed near one of the main streets in the city, about 20 minutes walk from the beach. The hotel itself isn't the newest, what You can feel in the room. Most of the stuff doesn't speak english. The price was a couple of Euros bigger, than it was shown during the booking process. It's impossible to find a parking slot nearby hotel, You have to leave Your car in a parking place about 5 minutes walk from the hotel, which will cost You about 15 Euros per day. No free internet access, no fridge or safe in the room. The bathroom is separated from the room by rolling door that doesn't even close 100 percently, which I wouldn't expect from a room for 68 Euros. I would recommend You to check other hotels before You book this one.

Very good location for those who want to see surrounding of Nice: the hotel is very close to the railway station but the place is quiet. There is a number of nice restaurants not far from the hotel. Rooms are clean and rather spacious. The staff is competent and friendly.

Overall, this was more or less what I expected. I was just looking for a cheap one-nighter as close as possible to the station so this was ideal for me. In a bit more detail, the bed wasn't too good, the room felt a bit grimy and there never seemed to be anyone on the reception desk when I wanted to take/leave my key! But apart from those minor points, really no gripes and quite content with my overnight stay.

The receptionists are all very friendly.

An OK hotel, no problems experienced. There are other hotels in same area with higher standards and better price /quality ratio.

This hotel was great value for money, has a good location (near the main street and train station), and the staff were helpful and reasonably friendly. Our room was very clean and our bathroom was nicer than we expected for the price we paid.

As for the price, the hotel is good.

Hotel Amaryllis is situated handy to the station which is a bonus but it is not an area I would wander around at night.

This is a 2 star hotel but looks and feels more like a 1 star. That being said, if you are looking just for a place to spend the night, it's fine but if you are looking to spend time in the hotel, it's too poor and depressing. The towels in the bathroom are clean but so old that you don't want to touch them.

For a budget hotel, it was moderate- disappointed that the website stating a complimentary cont. breakfast when NOT true, and over priced breakfast was not good. Decent for one night close to train station.

The staff is great; the location is perfect; the surrounding is exciting. But the rooms need a thorough makeover. Acceptable for a night with the eyes closed.

Nice and friendly personnel; good location near the railway station, but noisy street; too little towels!!

Very small and not-that-clean rooms.

The hotel is very closed to a shopping boulvard, you can find "Virgin Megastore","Monoprix",Mc.Donald´s, "Etoile"etc. there.

Very shabby & in need of decoration. But great location and price - good value for money.

Carpet needs urgent cleaning. The conversation, crying children etc from next room can be heard clearly. To be my first time in Nice to spend a long weekend it was ok however I would not choose this hotel again.

A nice, cheap hotel with very friendly staff.We got a small room, but clean and tidy. Excellent location close to the main railway station.

The room is quite old and dirty. The fence of the window is alomost broken.

-

I have no complaints. The hotel is a small hotel, yet it is well managed with a good english speaking staff. Map is provided, wifi is free. Location is close to the station and yet also close to the crowds

We wanted to like this hotel since the staff was nice, but it was too depressing. All surfaces of the room were covered with shabby stucco, acoustic tile or some other strange surfacing. It was not that it wasn't clean - it mostly was. It was just kinda seedy feeling. Next time we will try somewhere else. Location and staff are great, but no thank you.

I travelled to Nice from Italy by train which had taken 10 hours and within minutes of my arrival was at the hotel. Being a single traveller i was use to getting very small rooms so it was a great surprise to be given a double room with plenty of space. The hotel is within short walking distance to the main street with a mail shopping mall along the way. The sites of Nice are also along this route. The staff were friendly, courteous and helful with any inquiries. Breakfast was available in a small garden setting if required. Most enjoyable.

Good place to stay.

The hotel is near the main train station, so the neighborhood is not that great but I wouldn't say unsafe. Hotel staff friendly - elevator and air con not working but staff changed our room to one with working ac. Elevator was fixed later the day we arrived. Great Chinese at the Crazy Wok across from hotel.

The floor is not so clean and the only chair in my room is broken. However, the staff is very kind and it is valuable for the price. Good for 2 stars hotel.

It was inexpensive (60EUR), and the location wasn't the best, but it was close (5-10min) to the train station for walking - though I recommend finding it during the day since it's a little tricky. It's about a 15min walk mostly uninteresting to the waterfront.

Close to train station. Hotel does not permit food or beverage in room, which of course did not stop me. They wanted you to purchase from their bar. Overall I would recommend especially as the air conditioning worked really well!

Easy to find in the centre

Mal hotel desde el inicio, nos recibieron con mala atencion, la TV no servia desde el principio y aun reportandola dos veces nunca acudieron a revisarla. El bano sucio y con mal olor

Good space in the room, compared to similar room in Marseille. Childfriendly-furnished. Major minus point: too long walking distance from beach and center of attraction (promenade des anglais and Vieux Nice).

Great budget hotel in the centre of Nice.

My daughter and I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Good bakery across the street, so don't buy their breakfast. A number of good restaurants well priced in the immediate area. Area was somewhat run down with major construction going on, but near to shopping and the train station. View from the room was somewhat questionable and photos of rear patio were not true to what was there. Room was small as expected, and bathroom could have been updated. Overall, good price for what we needed.

Extremely good relationship between price/quality. Has already booked a room for my next visit to Nice in september 2006. Recommends! But for tourists which do undestand that if you pay a 50eur per night then you can't expect you to get a room like in Negresco. Very friendly personal and very good cleaning!

Good location to train station. Excellent support from the hotel staff.

Staff estremamente "friendly" e competente. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo per chi vuole spendere relativamente poco per l'Hotel. Abbiamo trovato esattamente quello che ci aspettavamo.

Very good price for service provided, room always clean, towels changed every day, sheets every second day, almost familiar atmosphere, close to train and bus station, 20 min to old town or beach, 2 rent-a-scooter shops in the nearest area

The hotel is actually closer to the station that it seems on the map. Convenient. The room was absolutely fine. Only gripe is that the evening porter was not that friendly, and that he insisted I return by midnight, which was OK, but seems a bit harsh for a town with nightlife. Otherwise a rather better standard than I would have expected for the price.

A very good value for money hotel and convenient for the station. Breakfast quite good for France, not included in price but I expected this. The only bad thing was when I arrived on a cold November evening the room was like a refrigerator because the maid had left the window open. The AC unit could be used to warm it up but did not do so very quickly. Just along the street towards the station on the same side as the hotel is a very good and cheap restaurant

Excellent hôtel bien situé proche gare et magasins. Chambre très propre. Personnel accueillant et disponible. Bon rapport qualité / prix.

Con mi esposa Ea Lucia pasamos unos dias estupendos gracias a que su hotel queda muy cerca de todo, fue muy facil su localizacion, los recepcionistas muy amables. silencioso el cuarto y con vista a la calle que nos dieron, no es lujoso pero de acuerdo al precio nos ha parecido razonable, gracias venere por la mayor parte de la estadia en europa la hicimos sobre la marcha con ustedes..

This is a really nice hotel at its price, spacious rooms, lovely beds, nice staff !

The room was very small and a bit shabby but clean. It was fine for a place to sleep but would not have wanted to spend a lot of time there. The area was convenient to amenities but a bit dodgy at night. I didn't feel safe to go out walking alone at night.

Too far from the see. The hotel syaff was not very welcoming - they gave me the key but the room was not ready. I had to go down to tell them that the room was not ready and I was made to wait in the lobby. Then I was told the room was ready, I went up again with my heavy bags but it was not ready, so I was told to go down again and wait there. Which I refused and after that I was shown into the room where I at least could sit down and wait for them to finish preparing the room. It made me angry as they should not have sent me up twice with my heavy luggage when the room was not ready.

During my vacation in cote d'azur I've lived there twice.It's a very nice hotel,friendly and helpful.It's close to the train station for a traveller with big luggages you don't have to walk so far.The rooms are comfortable and they will clean them everyday.Internet provided if you asked them.Most important,friendly,you feel safe with this hotel.If I will visited Nice again,definately I will live there again!!

When I arrived there was no more Singel room available. But the reception was very flexibel, they organised, that I could stay in a room for three - to the price of a Singel.

Good budget hotel. Room was very clean with air conditioning. Hotel is close to railway station and approx 15 mins walk to seafront.

Hotel Amaryllis was as advertiesed. Very close to the Ville Nice train station and with close access to some decent restaurants and coffee shops. We came in late and tired and got a quick shower and a good recommendation for dinner where there was good food at a reasonable price. The room was good size and there was a tv with the BBC.

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The room was excellent value for money, walking distance from the Gare where the airport bus dropped us off so perfect. The room was clean and modern. The shower was a little small and unpredicatable but adequate. Overall I would definitely recommend this for the budget traveller

I booked that hotel because of lots of good comments on venere homepage - and I can confirm: I had a VERY comfortably stay at Amaryllis. The proportion between price and efforts are very good - for such a cheap hotel the single room was perfectly equipted and the check in-desk was always friendly and helpful. Sum: a simple but adaeqaute accomodation for short stays and low budgets.

I'm very satisfied with the service. The room is cosy and spacious and the hotel operaters are very friendly. And the room fee is very cheap. If I had another chance to visit Nice, I would definitely choose this hotel again.

We liked this hotel because it is cheap, the room is clean and the employees were very nice and helpful.

This hotel is in a great location, being only 2 blocks from the train station and one block from a main street so it was easy to get our bearings for finding our way to the old city and the ocean. There are lots of reasonably priced restaurants in the area. The staff was extremely helpful and fluent in English. The only negative aspect was that the area did not seem particularly safe for a woman walking after dark. It should also be noted that there are several signs stating that food is not allowed in the rooms.

The hotel was not bad at all. The bedrooms were descent enough for a 2 star hotel and the bathrooms were fairly spacious. The breakfast was very good (it costs extra, but is worth it) compared to what other hotels offered on our trip. My only problem with the hotel was it's location. Although it was very handy to be close to the train station (we ended up using the bus depot "Gare Routiere" more often though), the neighborhood wasn't the best of areas. I think that I would've rather paid extra and walked a little further to be closer to the beach and to a better neighborhood. Also at the time, there was a lot of construction going on on Ave Jean Medecin right near the hotel, which made it a little more difficult to walk down towards the beach.

Nice hotel to stay, clean with a new paint - very friendly and competent staff. The free VLAN access was of great help. I intend to return to this hotel, its on my preferred hotel list.

I would definately stay at Amaryllis Hotel in Nice again. The service was friendly and helpful. The location was close to the train station and within walking distance of the beaches. The room was clean and worth the price.

Tres bon rapport qualité prix, pres du centre ville

Its what I expect from a good 2 star hotel: clean, functional, adequate breakfast. Also its location was excellent, near all the important sites, shops, beach etc.

The man at the desk was soo helpful and kind. I was afraid of the neighborhood, but enjoyed the local restaurants and it was very handy

Fine and basic. Clean. Staff quite friendly. The room infested with 16 mosquitoes- had we made the mistake of opening the window or were they already in the room? Result 23 bites between us and 2 very sleepless nights. Not what we expected in December. However a cheap and cheerful break.

A good value for money hotel in central nice. The staff are very friendly and most helpful

We stayed here for 3 days with friends last Nov. Almost all things were OK but some things disappointed us. Fisrt one was SHOWER problem.Our room shower din't work well at all. Of course we informed the person at the desk at night and he made his efforts to help us but finally nothing happened to the shower. So we had to have a lot of difficulty in using it. A cold shower in cold winter season!! Second one was that my friend bed sheet had a tiny spot of blood. Generally we were satisfied with our stay at this hotel because of its reasonable price and convinent location.

The feedback from previous guest was accurate and facilities were exactly as described. A good class budget Hotel in the right area for all facilities. Will certainly stay again.

Artex rather overdone in rooms , otherwise comfortable with good modern bathroom.Very good value for money

AS A SHORT STAY PRIOR TO A PRE BOOKED AIRPORT DEPARTURE THIS HOTEL WAS IDEALLY SITUATED FOR BOTH THE STATION AND LOCAL TOURIST ATTRACTIONS. I FEEL VENERE OFFERED AN UPFRONT, QUICK A GOOD SERVICE.

Good for the money,,,cheap, clean, just what I needed.

Hotel Amaryllis was the best budget hotel that I stayed at on my most recent trip to France. I would recommend it.

The hotel was simple, clean, and located in an interesting section of Nice. It was close enough to walk to the sea, old Nice and all of the other sites. I would return.

Great value for money. The room was air conditioned and comfortable. The location was very good - right near the main station. The price did not include breakfast, which was 5.50 Euros. Breakfast was OK but not wonderful. Overall though, recommended.

Good price for the quality that is offered, but teaching the staff some english would be practical

Hotel was very convenient, close to everything, nothing extra but clean and reasonable for a short stay. No mini bar (we like to use it for a fridge to store cold water etc.

Amaryllis is a clean hotel with above average service and accomodations. It is well located close to the railroad station and surrounded by eating establishments. Convenient for those without a car. Mattress was a little lopsided but still comfortable.

A very acceptable and good value hotel in a convenient location for the train and the city. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone not seeking 4 stars.

Excellent value for money. Location is outstanding. Staff provided good local recommendation and advice for activities around Nice and along the Cote d'Azur. A very pleasant stay overall. Only drawback is the thin walls which carries all the noise when the room next door was being cleaned.

The Hotel was within walking distance of the station. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. There was a lift to get upstairs even if it was small. Our room was large with a good bathroom and breakfast was a good continental one. It was definitely good value for the price.

Comfy beds, rare at this price! Staff very helpful with local knowledge. Decent breakfast, worth paying the extra for.

This is a nice hotel that offers good value for the price.
