Hotel La Malmaison - Nice

9.7

Excellent hotel and excellent location.

8.9

Conveniently situated for promenade (5 minutes) and town centre(10 minute walk) along leafy Avenue Victor Hugo, and the same west to Musee des Beaux Arts and Russian Church. High ceilings, large clean rooms, comfortable beds, efficient service, and reasonable rates, what more could you want.

8.0

Very well

10

Great value hotel with excellent customer service by all staff members.

7.9

This is a well positioned hotel of a reasonable standard. The staff at reception where excellent and most helpful.

7.3

Stuff is kind. It's rather near the centre of the town, near the beach. No parking available, had to pay cca 20€ for one day in public parking area.

9.3

Coming back to Nice after 30 years was a great experience, stayed for 4 nights. The Hotel La Malmaison was very good; the slight problem we experienced with the aircon one evening, was dealt with and repaired very quickly so no complaints. Good area and quite quiet 5 mins walk to beach, and an aray of restaurants including the restaurant attached to the hotel. Receptionist on arriving and throughout were very welcoming and assisted us with directions.

8.5

Good position for sight seeing, comfortable accommodation.

6.6

Booked "privilège" room, meaning a superior room. Webpages indicated a room with nice city views and a balcony. Surely, there was a nice balcony with a great city view, but the room itself was dark, as the only window faced the back and side walls of the integrated balcony -- no natural light. It could just as well have been located in the basement. The room was poorly furnished, e.g. no desk lamp, no sitting chair for all that extra "superior" space, no table, and a ghastly, huge black cabinet which was locked (used for housekeeping storage?). So get a regular room or make sure to inquire about the exact "privilege" room you are getting.

3.5

The first room we were given was so small we felt claustrophobic. They changed the room to a slightly bigger one. The hotel was virtually empty so no atmosphere at all. We weren't allowed to have the air-conditioning on. The breakfast was very poor and we felt overall the hotel was dull and uninspiring for the price.

8.4

Nice hotel. Clean room. Clean bathroom. Close to beach. Fridge did not work. A bit expensive. Triple room smallish but adequate. Would stay here again and would reccommend to others. Good for European standards.

8.7

Overall, a very good experience. The booking process went very smoothly. The hotel has an excellent location, good facilities, clean and quiet rooms, and friendly competent staff.We would strongly recommend the hotel and Venere to others wanting a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Nice. The only small complaint is that the breakfast seems expensive.

6.8

The hotel is in a convenient area, close to the promenade. Although the surroundings are nice, the hotel has to work a bit on the interactions with the customers. I was nearly charged for breakfast and I never got breakfast there. Luckily I checked the bill...

9.4

Great place for people who travel by train. It is also situated close to the beach and not too far from the old town. When visiting Nice in winter season, it is a perfect place to stay in.

8.1

We stayed in Nice only one night. The hotel is quite near to the main attractions, just a few minutes walk. The rooms are really spacious and cosy. The bathroom was a bit shabby. The price was a little bit higher than it should be but anyway I would advise this hotel for those who like modern structures.

8.5

Excellent staff, clean rooms. Breakfast expensive.

8.9

The location was good for access both to the old town and the promenade. The hotel was modern and clean. There was a refrigerator in the room. We stayed in a triple room and there was plenty of space for 3 adults.

9.6

The hotel was great. The room had plenty of space and was very clean. It also had a great balcony with a view which was fantastic. The staff were really helpful. The breakfast was extra (as indicated on the webpage) but was well worth the 11 euros - there was plenty of variety. The webpage information accurately portrayed the hotel.

7.6

Nice hotel. Room with nice balcony. Unfortunately only had one night there. Would like to visit again and may well do next year.

6.1

Nice room, enough spacious for french hotels. Location of the hotel is not so nice. p.s. Be attentive with taxi drivers, taking you from aeroport to your place they will try to cheat you.

7.7

Good location. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good value (Nice is quite expensive!)We had triple room which overlooked the road and road cleaning in the morning and traffic at rush hour was a bit noisy. Would recommend this hotel.

9.1

Super location. Good, clean, well appointed rooms and balcony and helpful staff. No problems whatsoever.

9.5

This is an excellent hotel. Reception desk staff are very helpful/capable. Rooms were clean and well furnished. The only small issue I would have is the lack of plugs in the room. But apoart from that I would highly recommend the hotel - The breakfast is well displayed and very sufficient. Would definetly return!!

7.3

First time in this hotel. Everything was satisfactory apart from the thin walls & staff bickering with each other one morning in the kitchen. Breakfast was one of the better buffets (egg boilers, cold meats & cheese) and it's one of the few hotels in Nice which has free wifi - useful for business travellers. The complimentary water in the mini-bar is a nice touch. The recetionists were curteous and friendly (thanks to Nathalie in particular)

8.2

Please provide guests with more international plug adaptors (the few available ones had already been lent)

8.3

Well located, easy to walk to all areas of interest. Room was great, well furnished excellent bed. Public rooms were without atmosphere.

8.7

Very clean, simple room. Wifi available in rooms (ask for it to the reception).

8.5

I was very pleased with the hotel, its services and the location. It was easy to find and easy access to the rest of Nice. The room was very nice and the price very economical. The breakfast wasn't included but it was exactly what I needed in a breakfast. The employees were very nice and helped me a lot with my bearings and needs.

9.1

hotel was neat and quiet and right in the heart of downtown Nice. Walking distance to the train station.

8.7

very good restaurant, nice athmosphere

9.5

Receptionist was not too friendly when asked for help at 7 am in the morning. Breakfast is not worth the money.

9.0

We had a good stay at La Malmaison. Very good location and good service.

8.8

The hotel was excellent it was friendly, clean and central on one of the larger streets so always easy to find the only problem it had no parking facilities so we spent quite a lot of money on underground parking on our short stay. Would stay there again without the hire car.

9.9

Sehr gutes Mittelklassehotel, großes Zimmer. Personal freundlich. Zu empfehlen.

9.4

Stayed in La Malmaison for 4 nights. It was very clean and good value for money. Hotel was very central and 5 mins from sea front.The breakfast was very good with hot and cold buffet at €11.00. Only problem was they had no red wine in hotel one evening when we requested a night cap!!I would recommend staying in this hotel and I would stay there again.

9.9

The Hotel is in a great location, three blocks from the beach. There were great restaurants within two to three blocks. Very nice exterior and interior. Our room was really spacious and clean. We did not have breakfast at the hotel, but went by the room in the morning a few times and it looked appetizing. The staff is friendly but not overly helpful, which didn't bother us as we had planned things out ourselves. Parking is not inexpensive if you have a car, but there is a garage very close. I travel extensively in the U.S. and this hotel is comparable to a very nice W Hotel without a full service restaurant and happening bar. However, the restaurant located below the hotel is excellent and there's plenty of nightlife, if that's what you're looking for, close by.

8.6

The hotel was about a 10 minute walk from the train station, and is in a charming old building. Our room was enormous, and beautifully decorated - felt like a five star hotel. We were unable to use the free wi-fi as the night clerk couldn't find the passwords though. Breakfast was probably overpriced, and there are a multitude of food choices all within a 3 minute walk of the property. Excellent location for shopping, transport etc. Would definitely go back.

8.6

Nice hotel, clean & comfortable. Very friendly, helpfull staff. Central location close to beach, train station & shopping. I would recommend this hotel to family & friends.

9.8

Fantastic stay. We were in a priviledge room (55). It was very roomy with a kitchenette and sofa bed. Would be great for families. The bed was really comfy and a decent size. Our room didn't have a balcony but others do. The breakfast was good - had ceral and eggs in addition to the usual European food. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is well positioned if you plan to use both the beach and the train during your stay.

8.6

Hotel was lovely. Rooms spacious and clean with balcony. Not much room to store clothes. Location good, close proximity to beach and train station. My mobile phone was stolen from my room, I would recommend this hotel but you MUST use the safe. Hotel staff very pleasant but the difficult situation impacted on relationships.

7.4

It was a lovely stay! The hotel is located in a nice street close to most attractions. They offer FREE wireless lan connection and also complimentary bottled water. The room is a bit small though.

9.5

This was a perfect hotel for our requirements (family of three). The sea front is 5 minutes walk away, as are bus stops for going around the city. The station is only a ten minute walk away and is ideal for a day-trip to Monaco. The hotel itself is very well appointed and the sound-proofing is superb. The beds are comfortable and the rooms spotlessly clean. The hotel certainly punches above it's star rating. The only quibble is with the breakfast, where you would have to eat a lot of the buffet in order to get 11Euros worth of breakfast. Having said this there are plenty of Cafes nearby if you want to step out for breakfast. As far as dining out is concerned, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from (The Baraccuda down rue Meyerbeer got two visits from us) and the Corleone in the hotel basement is worth a try.

8.8

Fantastic hotel that has some of the best hotel customer service oriented employees that we have had in quite a while.

9.3

There are many clean and comfortable hotels, but few that deliver exactly what the brochure photos depict. This is one that does deliver, but its real strength is its staff - they're just different class!

8.9

The service at the reception was good and my wife and I particularly liked the room we got on the fourth floor - it was spacious and well appointed. Location wise it is a 10 minute walking distance from the railway station and also about the same distance from the promenade. We recommend this property to anyone wishing to go to Nice.

7.4

Our second visit to Nice. We enjoyed the hotel and will return. No problem in recommending to others

8.3

Very pleasant, conveniently situated hotel. Staff were very helpful and welcoming. Plenty of choice for breakfast - not cheap, but was convenient for us as we were short of time. We only stayed overnight but will probably return for a longer stay. Would recommend the hotel.

8.7

Generally an excellent stay with friendly staff, clean room, great location etc. In fact only one minor comment....the bottom sheet on the bed was too small and wasn't fitted and so got quite uncomortable during the night.

8.3

Simple, but very comfortable and the receptionist's service was great.

8.9

The hotel is in an excellent position in a tree lined road. The receptionists were excellent and very helpful. The breakfast at €14 represented good value. The rooms where clean and fresh, we also had a very pleasant balcony with a table & 2 chairs. The only critiscism was that the shower was inadequate if you are over 5'6.

7.9

Problem with room on arrival even though booked 4 months ago, so were given a larger room. No tea and coffee facilities in the room. Room was very clean and tidy complete with air-con and LCD TV and DVD combined. Ideally situated close to the Promenade des Anglais and close to bus and train stations. Nice and central and the staff were always willing to try and help with any questions.

8.6

price/quality ok (but where is the difference between a normal and a superior room ?) position ok quietness ok to be recommended to everybody

9.6

This was my first time in Nice, I was there for a Conference for 4 days. The Hotel is really a nice place to stay. The stuff talk really good english and also they can guide you through the places you wanna go. The speed of the free internet access was fabulous. I really enjoyed staying there. Also the hotel is a not so far from the train station which I used to go to Monaco and it was really nice, too. I surely recommand this hotel for a pleasant staying at Nice.

8.3

The La Malmaison is very well situated and we were especially lucky to be provided with a room with a balcony. The breakfast was extremely good and, interestingly, the manager(ess) visited each breakfast table to say "good morning" to all guests and briefly pass the time of day. A nice touch, and done very naturally. The only slight quibble was that the bar - which supplied very pleasant wine in the evening - was unable to provide a coffee.

6.2

That TV remote control was a pain. The ventilation system occasionally made a ticking annoying sound.

9.1

The room was very nice, clean, quiet and modern, with terasse. We had a privilège room instead of the confort one we booked. The personnel is very polite and helpful. The hotel is really not far from the famous Promenade des Anglais, about 10 mn. I stayed there with a friend and we really enjoyed our stay at La Malmaison and for sure we will come back again. I highly recommend this place.

7.0

It was the fourth hotel we tryed at the Côte d'Azur. The rooms are not so new refurnished and spacious as shown in the internet. The breakfast was not big and changeful as promised in the internet, but this is often so in french hotels. But the stay of 3 nights was really okay.

8.4

NIce place. Friendly people. Short walk to the beach and the restaurant district.

8.2

The air conditioning in the room we were offered was making a huge amount of noise plus we were really itching after the night between the sheets of the bed. It was last days of October and, although still high season, the air condititoning was not actually working anymore. It was really hot in the room and we had to keep windows open which meant quite a lot of noise in the room from the big street outside. We requested another room the next morning and this one, although smaller, was much nicer and quieter. All in all the stay was very nice, service excellent and the breakfast also quite good. Venere should be more clear in indicating whether the breakfast actually is included in the price or not. We thought that it was but were told in the hotel that it isn't. This was not a nice surprise.

9.3

The staff were all very helpful and cheerful.2 of the 3 rooms had spacious balconies which was a big plus. I would definitely stay there again.

9.8

A perfect location in Nice, Quality at an affordable price

9.8

The room was very big with 3 beds and the bath room was very spacious and clean. I enjoyed staying at this hotel very much.

8.5

Helpful friendly staff. Quiet room on back of hotel with semi-view to west. Conveniently situated for Prom des Anglais and 10 minute walk to old town. When arriving on bus from airport, alight at stop Rue Meyerbeer.

7.7

Well positioned considering cost... just a few blocks from beachfront. Helpful and friendly reception staff. Although the room was quite small, it was clean and adequate for our short stay. Altogether a good experience. "Type and number of available rooms" - can't answer this question.

7.9

The room was clean when we arrived, but the maintenance was not good enough.

9.9

La Malmaison is great! Very nice rooms and good service. I will stay there next time I am in Nice. Short walk to all facilities

8.8

This as my second visit to NIce but my first time staying at La Malmaison.When we come back to Nice again, I will be staying at La Malmaison.It was a perfect holiday.We booked a privlege room, which are the "deluxe" rooms of the hotel. I didn't see what the other rooms were like. We had a very nice room with a brilliant balcony which overlooked the streets below and also looked out over the city.(We were on the 5th floor!)The hotel is only 5 mins from the Promenade/ Beach. The beach is not sandy,so bring some light footwear for use in and around the water! Safety deposit box in our room was free and so too was the air conditioning, which was needed because it was July and very hot. Towels changed every day during our stay. Altogether a brilliant holiday and will be staying there when we go to Nice again.

9.4

This hotel was a lovely surprise. The staff cound not have been more helpful. I would return to it and I would highly recommend it. This was our 6th hotel stay in Nice and Malmaison was the first one that we would return to

8.1

It's a pretty nice hotel. My Fiance liked the breakfast and had every day there. Only problem was air conditioning leakage the last day. And one of the Receptionist called the Taxi before asking us to take us to the airport, instead of the train station. That cost us more money and put a sour note on our stay. However, the other Reception Representatives took VERY good care of us. I would still recommend this hotel. ***Be sure to know that the beaches have large rocks that can be painful for the feet and make it hard to enjoy the beach.

9.9

This hotel was extremely nice and just what we wanted - being a short walk from the station and also within walking distance of the Promenade des Anglais. I would certainly recommend it as a good place to stay.

9.9

was able to book in at 11 oclock hotel was very clean large room and bathroom staff were very good phoned a few churches for times for us ide stay there again and tell my friends to stop not going over the top for a 3 star hotel very clean and tidy room 45

9.6

We enjoyed our stay in this newly refurbished hotel in Nice. It is in an ideal location for exploring the area, ten minutes from the railway station and beach areas. The staff, especially the breakfast staff, were very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this hotel to others.

8.0

The service was very good except the cleaning of the terrace. It was not cleaned the week we were there. Short distance to beach and to the railway station.
