Hôtel Régence - Nice

the only good thing about this hotel it's its location which is perfect! other than that the rooms look ugly, really need renovation, the bed was weird and so were the pillows! at the check out the staff was rude with us and called us several times with bad attitude to leave the room. i'm pretty sure if you search a bit more you'll find something better nearby

stayed here for 4 nights very comfortable and on a pedestrianised street with lots of cafes and restaurants.close to place messena and a short walk to the sea.

Very good staff very clean fantastic central location shops resturants cafe bars right on your doorstep beech 5 minutes walk would stay there again without hesitation rooms small and basic but have all the things you need for a plesent stay tv had bbc channel that was a bonus will be back

Perfect position and the staff is very kindly! Good on the price.

A very nice hotel, perfectly located in Nice, with friendly, helpful and competent staff. A great number of restaurants all around the hotel made it an easy and interesting task to find a suitable lunching and dinner restaurant.

The room, a single, was every small, not much space for a big suitcase, but the bed was comfortable and the location is excellent. I believe Nice is expensive and this hotel seems to be good value for money compared to other hotels in that city. The friendly welcome adds to the good experience and I would definitely recommend this hotel. There are lots of restaurants and cafés on the street and the beach is a 5 minute walk away.

very clean hotel, perfect location, if you take 402 room, you will have silence during day and night.

All of the staff were incredibly helpful and pleasant. The location is excellent, located on a pedestrian only street full of shops and restaurants, very close to the beach, bus stops, and the tourist office, which is very convenient because we were there several times during our stay. Although the street is very busy, the rooms are tucked in the back and therefore it was very quiet and we never heard any noise from the street. The only improvements I can suggest (they are minor) would be a mirror in the room (aside from the bathroom, as others have mentioned), and a working outlet in the bathroom. Also, new carpet would really go a long way to updating the room, but none of these things negatively impacted our experience or would keep us from staying there again. Would also be nice if breakfast was included, but it's only 6 Euros and was quite good. Would definitely come back to Hotel Regence and recommend it to others as well.

The only problem was that when I changed my room during the second staying, I left Nice for few days and I came back, the safety box for money was placed in a dangerous position, in fact as I tried to use it, the safety box fell down to my feet and it could have been dangerous for me as for any more client.

Large room and bathroom, shower recess very small with doors opening inward hard to get in and out. small TV limited programs but large TV in comfortable lounge in Reception. Very quiet. Great location on exciting pedestrian street with bars,cafes and shops open late. Very easy access to all transport trains and buses.Staff very helpful and friendly. Definitely stay again.

the location was perfect,we were given their largest room,which was huge - the bathroom was huge also. The room gave onto a small, non-accessible courtyard, so it was very quiet even though we were in the middle of a street filled with outdoor restaurants.The furniture was at a minimum and there were no decorations on the walls but everything was very clean.

The room was very quiet and clean. It also had the bonus of a heated towel rail that enabled us to dry our washing! The location was great, on a pedestrian street with many restaurants and shops right outside the hotel door. However we felt that the room was very small, and it was the most expensive place on our one month European trip. The one window looked out over a service alley to a concrete wall 2.5 metres away. A good place if you dont mind the complete absence of ambience, but a bit too expensive for what it is.

left my expensive rayban sunglasses in the lobby overnight and the desk had them for me in the morning. sign of a very honest place! that really made my stay a good one!

We booked this hotel for only one night before our flight back to the United States after a biking tour through Provence. It was very clean and met our expectations. The location was great, right on the place Masena, though we didn't feel quite the same once the evening music started up in the street just below our window. Though the windows were well insulated and blocked much of the noise, we still could hear what was going on below. We were pretty tired though, and as it turned out, neither my husband nor myself were kept awake for long. For the price and location (GREAT if you're coming from the train station since the tram stops a short distance away), we felt the hotel was a good selection, and if we hadn't had to get up at 4 a.m. we probably could have tolerated the noise a bit better. The room was not spacious, but it was certainly adequate, very clean, and tastefully done. The people at the desk were very helpful and accommodating as well, even offering to take a picture of us on the stairway. If I return to Nice, I will consider this hotel again and would recommend it to others, so long as they are not especially light sleepers.

Very quiet, nice hotel. Good location. Welcomig and service are discrete and sympathetic.

Amazing service, clean rooms , Staff extremely polite and able to speak english,italian,french,spanish perfectly so that is was easy to be understood and helped at the reception !!! The negative mark is that the bathroom had no window but still, high quality of service provided with a low price! Located in the main street of Nice ! srongly suggested!

great silence even for the rooms at the front street, windows have been reflected, very good choice.

Me and my wife stayed here for one night on out honeymoon. The hotel itself is very nice but located on a pedestrian only street so we had to get dropped off a couple of blocks away and haul our luggage with us. Other than that inconvenience, the hotel and staff itself were great! There are tons of shops and restaurants within the area.

Great location, 10mins walk from old town, 15mins to train station, 5mins from beach. Very quiet rooms, bed is much better than it looks so dont let that put you off. Big bathroom, powerful shower and all very clean. Superb value! Top tip, please do not pay €50 for a taxi like a lovely USA couple we met did. Catch the 23 bus for €1 only, dont even catch the 98/99 bus for €4 too!

I chose to stay at the Hotel Regence based on the comments made by previous guests and the number of repeat guests. I must say I was not disappointed. The room/bathroom was very clean - in fact I have no complaints about the room or the service that I got as I found the staff to be very welcoming and accommodating. The location is excellent. It is near the Promenade des Anglais, is located on a busy street with a number of bars, shops and restaurants and is close to the main road which also has a number of stores and restaurants. It is a good 15-20 minutes walk from the Gare but I didn't mind walking the distance. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Nice. I will definitely stay there again if I ever go back to Nice.

As shown, our stay in Hotel Regence was very successful. In particular, we were delighted by our peaceful room(403!), and by the helpfulness and courtesy of the staff. the only negative criticism was from my husband! He did not like the breakfast coffee.Thank you so much for your excellent service and for making us feel so welcome on our little holiday. We shall certainly come again.Elizabeth Forrest( Robin's wife!)

The key differentiator for this hotel is its central location at a good price. The hotel is comfortable, clean, the staff are competent. Bedroom: was noisy on Saturday night as we had a room overlooking the street and even in January people are out partying until late makiing a lot of noise. Sunday night/Monday morning was a lot quieter. The walls are quite thin, so easy to hear conversations in other rooms. The room was fairly spacious by French standards. The bed was comfortable, bathroom and linen were clean. Rest of hotel: clean, nice decor, breakfast was nothing special - only bread and pastries with butter, jam, soft cheese. No meats or cooked food.

As ever a very pleasant stay. Lost count of times have been there, maybe six. I definitely would not stay there if I was not entirely happy. Staff are always willing to help, and on a particularly cold weekend it was great to go into a nice warm bedroom.

Right in the middle of the Nice. Accessible to all the transpotation at a walk distance. Staffs offered us a good service with the details. The room is not big but quite clean and the room we stayed was quite. The breakfast was ok but with 6 Euro was not bad deal.

Go to Eze, one of the medieval towns on the outskirts of Nice. The restaurant there is second to none but a bit pricy!

We have stayed at this hotel many times over the years, and it is our favorite hotel in Nice. The staff is attentive, and the hotel is centrally located and wonderfully managed. A gem.

The Régence is an excellent value in this price range. Before booking, we read the comments of others, and found that the hotel exceeded the overall expectations we had made. It is not a deluxe hotel, but neither is it a tired, under-maintained little hotel like so many in this price range. It is operated by a friendly and professional staff, is very clean, has good bedding, and best of all is superbly located in an excellent walking area of Nice, amidst countless shops, restaurants, cafes, etc., two blocks from the beach. Try the street view function of Google Maps and tour the streets around the hotel for a very accurate idea of the street-scape where the property is. We tried several nearby eateries during our 4 day stay in Nice, and highly recommend the Taverne Massena, just a couple of doors west of the hotel - a large menu, reasonable prices, always top notch. I wish this restaurant were in Seattle! We would definitely return to the Régence Hotel when in Nice.

Have been to Nice several times. Stayed at Regence 3 times and is by far the best I have been in. Fascilities are adequate and the location ideal for shops, beach and transport. Prices are sensible and continental breakfast more than adequate. Will be goiing again early 2012.

An oasis in the heart of Nice. Great value for money

Nice hotel. very central location, but quiet. Friendly staff, and everything functioning well. Clean.

Not a luxury hotel, but very good for price. Wireless is 3 euros per day, but pretty good speed. Hotel staff very nice and helpful. Also, in case it is relevant, I'm not French, but venere is saying my reviews are from France because that's where I first signed up for an account.

A truly delightful welcome both from the reception staff and the hugely attractive layout and decor of the ground floor. Room and bathroom small but spotless, air conditioning most efficient but lack of chest of drawers or adequate shelving for clothes a drawback. Typically French breakfast at a typical price for the area. Altogether a very good place to stay though for one tall and overweight like me personal and storage space is an issue and would become more so if staying longer than a few days. Some restaurants right on the doorstep - Le Mirador especially good. Easy walk or one-stop tram ride and short walk to the flower market (Cours Saleya) where numerous restaurants offer great choice. Beware some of the prices, though the 3-course inclusive menus generally offer great value. The Bistro Romain is outstanding - despite the scurrilous rubbish I have read on another website. Don't overlook the Sun Sea Surf outside the market facing the sea. Economically priced and unbeatable steaks despite the restaurant looking a bit like a seaside rock stall.

In the heart of the city and close to the "promenade" but quiet and clean. Excellent value for money.

Rooms were clean and the value for money is good. The staff we're very friendly and helpful when asking about directions or things to see & do. Location is good near the old town and beach

very nice hotel, pro staff and beautiful surrounding. I'll come back again

This is a two star hotel with five star cleanliness! The rooms are small but perfectly adequate,bathroom spotless and the location couldn't be better. Right in the middle of shopping, restaurants and transport, you never-the-less have perfect quiet in the hotel! We didn't have breakfast there so I can't comment but I would really recommend this as a great place to stay and good value for money. If pushed, the only thing I could think to add would be one english channel on the TV...but that's it.

We have stayed in this hotel many times. There is a lovely, friendly atmosphere. The rooms are excellent - particularly those at the back of the hotel where it is quieter as the front rooms look onto a busy pedestrian area. Lots of excellent restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Continental breakfast available in a very nice dining room for just 6Euro. Excellent.

I think that the hotel is suitable for well-travelled guest who likes necessary service and reasonable price. This was the first visit to Nice. Nice is a famous for having beautifull sea and scenery, so I wanted to visit. In actual, the color of sea is so blue that I've never seen it before.

The room was tiny but we didn't need anything more than that. It was perfect. Totally clean and quiet.

Good position. Friendly hotel - clean and quiet. Would definitely recommend it. Good value for money

Excellent

Staff were warm and helpful. Location was perfect - at the city center. Breakfast of 6 euros was a bit expensive. Would stay there again.

Excellent room and location for the price. Room was small but super clean and quiet. Bathroom was like new. Really enjoyed staying at this hotel.

We spent three days and we stayed in Room 502 and it faced a small inner courtyard. It was a very quiet room. We did not eat the breakfast , which looked like only croissants and rolls and coffee. The staff readily got taxi's for us. You can also use the bus from the airport to a nearby stop and then walk about a block to the hotel. The bus from the airport is only 5 Euros and the ticket is good for all day. It is close to all the shops, and restaurants on Rue Massena. It is also close to the beach and a Spar grocery store where you can pick up anything you need. Lots of tourist shops nearby. About a 15 minute walk to the Cours Saleya flower market, and the main bus station. Walking to the train station takes a good 20-25 minutes.

The hotel was in a perfect position in the middle of the tourist strip. Restaurants and shops were right outside the door and you could walk to the beach and lots of other places. The room was quite small but adequate. The breakfast was quite expensive but plenty of places to eat near the hotel.

Good hotel. Good location and spacious room. If you are with a car, it is difficult to find the place and load your laggage because you cannot enter into the street where the hotel is located during the daytime.

A wonderful place for us. Maria and Angela were very helpful, patient and pleasant. I would recommend the Regence to any friend.

We had an excellent stay at the Hotel Regence. It's location is perfect and only a 2 minute walk from the beach and within easy access to the train station and although the hotel is in the midst of the restaurants and shopping, the noise level in the hotel was zero. The staff were welcoming and very helpful and cleanliness in all areas of the hotel was excellent. Catch the train or the bus (think it was number 98) from the airport as taxi's will cost approx €40 to the hotel.Would definately stay again.

We chose this hotel for a one night stopover stay on our car trip. The hotel offers car parking in their sister hotel two blocks away where we were able to park for the night. The room was tiny but clean and contained features that surprised us in a 2-star hotel: digital safe for free and bottled shampoo. The breakfast was okay but definitely not continental: only 3 pastries, jam, butter, juice and coffee - I would have expected a bit more for 6 EUR. The location is excellent: restaurants right at the door, the Promenade des Anglais within a minute and the bus terminal for a Monaco trip only 6-7 minutes away.

Excellent location near the sea and old town, the hotel was clean and comfortable, better than many 3 star ones i've encountered. For travellers with a car, parking can be a problem as nearby car parks are rather expensive (17 euros a day) and public parking is near impossible. Staff was friendly and spoke english well enough, wifi was also available for a sensible price. I stayed there twice and can recommend it to anyone looking for a stay in Nice.

We have stayed here before and will stay there again. Super location. Asked one of the girls in the reseption about when the marked in the old town closed(both flower and antic marked is famous in Nice) she didn`t know there was a market and not "today" since it was raining, outside it was sunny...

Reception personnel excellent. The disable elevator did not work and my room was changed. I liked the first room better, but the 2nd was acceptable.

Great location right in the centre of Nice among the pavement cafes, restaurants and shops and just along from the fabulous new tramway. The staff were warm and welcoming and very helpful. Breakfast was good value for €6 with as much coffee as you could drink. The room though small was clean, however a mirror in the bedroom would have been appreciated

We arrived very late but were welcomed. Very nice stay.

Fine for overnight stop over - basic room with safe and TV , Good spacious clean shower room . Plenty of budget restaurants and cafes in the road and close to the sea - Parking in public car park is 22 Euros for 24 hours

We were in Nice for Carnival event: this nice hotel was part of the fun! Great courtesy from the staff: great support aimed to our relax. We will be there again

THE HOTEL STAFF ARE MOST WELCOMING, COURTEOUS AND VERY PROFESSIONAL. THE HOTEL ROOM I REQUESTED WAS VERY QUIET, CLEAN AND HAS A GREAT OPEN SPACE ROOFTOP VIEW OF THE CITY. THE ROOM WAS SO QUIET I FELT LIKE THE ONLY GUEST AROUND, IN SPITE OF ITS BUSY AND WELL KNOWN STREET LOCATION. I ONLY STAYED 3 NIGHTS BUT SLEPT HALF OF THE TIME AND SO MISSED SOME OF THE ITINERARIES I'VE PLANNED. IT IS THAT COZY, COMFORTABLE, WARM FEELING I FELT WHILE STAYING AT THE HOTEL REGENCE. A SIMPLE, NO NONSENSE AND DOWN TO EARTH PRICE VALUE FOR ITS QUALITY OF SERVICE, CLEANLINESS AND GREAT LOCATION. DEFINITELY A 10+ ! I WILL BE BACK!

The hotel location is good. Just out side of Rue de France. It has lots of restruant at night. Price just is normal. Bath room is big than other hotel. But no good scene view from room.

Very good room & hotel comparing its price, good location, good equipment, welcome staff, alothough if breakfast could be included would be better. Overall, it is good. I will stay here again if I will come back to Nice.

Overall stay was excellent everything exceeded expectations, location, perfect, right in the middle of the shopping area, rooms clean quiet and comfortable, internet availability, staff with perfect english and prompt service. One recommendation, breakfast as expected typical european, but the coffee machine needs some serious attention (less water and more hot coffee).

Very convenient, excellent value.

Hotel Regence caters for older clientelle, has a good brasserie attached,and is just off the main pedestrian shopping/restaurant area. For position and service, i could not fault it, definitely would book again

The hotel was quite acceptable but the rooms are a bit small. The biggest problem was the difficulty in finding the hotel. We found the street OK but could not go down the street because it is a pedestrian mall after 11.00am which we were not told about. There was no where to park to enable us to walk to find the hotel. There is no parking close to the hotel and you have to park at their other hotel about 500 metres away and pay 10 euros per night for parking. We did not know this either. Directions to this parking would have saved us 2 hours looking for the place. As in the majority of hotels in France there was no minibar or fridge in the room.

Very good value for money. The hotel is situated in the perfect location. A minute from Promenade Anglais, two minutes from the beach, five minutes from the Old town. We really enjoyed it!

This hotel looked very elegant and certainly matched the ambience of its surroundings in this wonderful city. Nightlife was great and the location of this hotel, along a pedestrian walkway with ample shops and restaurants, was second to none. We felt that the hotel was perhaps pricy but unfortunately, hotels are not cheap in this touristic city of Nice. it was a great vacation and the staff were friendly and helpful to give us directions where to park our car. No problems at all.

Hotel Regence was fine. Breakfast was a little limited. Could have used some fresh fruit. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. However, once when my wife and myself were out, someone, from staff I presume, came into the room smoking. Upon our return the room reeked of cigarette smoke.

A fantastic find in a great location. Close to hundreds of restaurants and well placed for all modes of transport, also a short walk from the seafront. Was pleasently surprised on arrival at how nice the hotel was, sometimes these places don`t quite live up to the web photos but this one did and surpassed it. Although very central our room at the rear of the hotel was silent. As we were here in July the temps were in the 30`s but on returning to the hotel every day was like walking into a fridge due to the efficient air con. Breakfast was fine but basic, all areas were spotless and the english speaking staff were extremely helpful and polite. We actually stayed one extra night as we liked it so much. Overall I couldn`t imagine a better budget hotel in Nice than this one. Will definately return!

The hotel is situated in Nice pedestrian area, so you can find just outside it shops, restaurants, pubs but it is very calm and quiet. You can reach simply walking the sea, the railway station and the old part of the city. It was a very nice and cheap stay.

This hotel is in a great location with lots of restaurants within steps of the front door. It is also a very short walk to the ocean. The only problem was our room number 40. I am 6-3 and had to duck my head to enter the door. I also could not stand up in the room without my head touching the ceiling. The shower stall was an adventure. I have been in larger showers on cruise ships! I requested another room but was told the hotel was completely filled. Since we did not spend much time in the room, I suffered through. If we had received a different room, I would highly recommend this hotel for its location and price. If you make reservations be sure to mention you do not want room 40

A really pleasant hotel which is better than some 3-star hotels. The only hassle is getting your cases to and from it as it is in a pedestrian area.

El unico problema que encontramos y que no fue explicado claramente en vuestra página, es que el hotel no tiene estacionamiento propio y que tuvimos que cargar nuestras valijas 3 cuadras desde el parking hasta el hotel.

The hotel reception staff were great - friendly & informative. I was concerned with what I believed to be a fault in security - you had to hand in your key to reception before leaving the hotel & they gave it back to you on your return even if the staff member didn't know you (& this happened on several occasions). So anyone could have picked up your key. The location was just great. I extended my stay here because I enjoyed it so much. One of their room types (junior chambre) wasn't offered through Venere & it was cheaper. Also, it wasn't clear on Venere that you had to pay for internet usage & I found out only when the booking actually went through. However, the stay here is wonderful overall.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Regence. The room was perfect and the staff was extremely helpful. The location could not have been better. Easy to get to everything.

Its a no frills hotel but in an excellent location, could not have asked for more.

The hotel was is a great location, just off the sea front, very handy for shops, bars, restaurants etc. Our room was very small and basic. The staff very extremely friendly, helpful and very knowledgable about such things as buses, places to go etc. Breakfast not worth the money, better cheaper breakfast could be had in one of the cafes, 1 minute walk away.

Fine modern clean hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Excellent value for price. I have checked off the number 5 in the questions I did not answer because I did not observe them. You should not force everybody to answer questions they may not be able to reply in an accurate manner.

This hotel was much nicer than I expected for such a great price! I definitely recommend it!

Great location. I had an inner-courtyard room, which was very quiet and pleasant. The breakfast is overpriced for what you get. We had it once at the hotel, but went elsewhere after that. The location is amazing - right in the thick of everything! Couldn't have been better.

We found everything to be as advertised. I requested a quiet room on back side and upper floor. We were given one on lower floor and on a side alley which was extremely noisey during the night and morning. The location of the hotel is excellent but take earplugs if you expect to sleep. The staff could not be more helpful and the parking at a sister hotel was convenient and secure.

We stayed two nights, very good location although it was very noisy at nights

nonostante maggiorazione prezzo per letto bimbo che doveva essere incluso, il lettino per il bimbo non c'era

The only "problem" is: when you travell by car, there is no parking available in the hotel, and as Street Massena is only car "authorized" morning till 11 a.m. you have to carry the bagages from the next public parking "Massena" (price to add to the hotel's bill: 16 euros a day!). But you are in a slendid area, close to the "Old Nice" and 5 minutes walking to the tramway.

I am a senior in my late 70's lady traveling alone and have difficulty walking so this hotel was a joy to find. (later my brother and niece joined me for a couple of nights). The hotel caters to average income people. It is ideally situated on rue Massena the pedestrian area off Place Massena in the centre of Nice. Tram and market a short walk and promenade des Anglais, Albert Premier gardens only a short distance.Friendly, helpful multilingual staff, rooms clean and with ensuite bathrooms.This is a 2** hotel and a great find. Masses of places to eat on rue Massena patisseries serve excellent coffee and croisants for breakfast. I did not have breakfast in the hotel, which was not included. I will definitely RETURN!!!

Excellent location on a pedestrianized street with many restaurants and shops. Just a five minute walk to the beach and close to places of interest and public transit stops. Our room was newly renovated and the interior of the hotel is very nice. The front desk staff were very helpful.

Perfect location close to everything. Had room nr 309 against the pedestrian street but no noise. The best **-rated hotel we've ever seen in the center of a big city for this price. The breakfast though, traditional french/continental, is not enough for hungry ones but we got more baguette when we asked.

very good location near Promenade des Anglais and shopping area. Nearby restaurants rather mediocore and poor value. Do rcommend Pub de Halevy for a meal which is quite close.

standard double room. the breakfast was a ripped off though. we had 1 breakfast for the first day, and decided against having it for the rest of the days stayed. we stayed in the hotel for 3 nights.

All was even better than expected. I will stay here again. The slight surprise was that it is a walking street, so not accessible by taxi when I arrived.. Only had hand luggage so not a problem to walk from the nearest through street. Happily, the two mornings I needed an early taxi, the pedestrian effect hadn't yet gone into operation. It would be useful to clarify the hours you can drive to the door so that anyone who would not like to walk with their luggage on arrival would be forewarned.

this hotel sounds too good to be true but honestly I couldn't find any fault with this . It is in a great location, it's great value for money and the staff were very very helpful.

Basic rooms but great location (close to beach, bus station and shops) and extremely friendly and helpful front desk staff

Very convenient hotel in the heart of Nice close to a range of places to eat, gift and fashion shops and also convenient stores selling bread, cakes and snacks. Hotel was friendly and helpful

Would like to have had breakfast included in price. Paid 70 euros for one night and breakfast was extra 6 euros which is quite expensive.

very happy with the position and price, beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. We didn't eat at the hotel but saw breakfast set up and looked fine for price.

Great spacious room with fantastic welcoming staff. Good location with few minutes walk to beach and plenty of local cafes and restaurants. Would stay again

The Regence hotel is excellent value for money. The room was adequate, cleaned daily,very quiet, and the bed was comfortable. We didn't have breakfast as it was a bit limited in variety, but the location is the best in Nice, with plenty of restaurants within a few metres. Staff were really helpful and attentive, and overall it was a pleasant experience, and I would recommend it as a top 2 star budget hotel. I will stay there again!

Very good value hotel in a very central location

this is an excellent budget hotel ideally situated in the pedestrian centre of Nice. We asked for and were given a quiet room at the rear of the hotel. The staff were pleasant and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Minor criticisms 1) Small Wardrobe space ( although this is common in mainland Europe ) 2) there were quite a few stains on many of the hotel carpets. New carpets would really freshen the place up. This hotelis ideal for couples and singles alike and is excellently situated for exploring Nice.

GREAT location on a buzzy pedestrian street a short walk from the old town! Rooms basic. Desk staff all very pleasant and helpful.

The location of the hotel puts you right in the heart of Nice. The restaurants, beach and local transportation can be easily reached. We stayed in room 512 and it was a very quiet spacious, very clean room with a view of a courtyard. I would not hesitate to book this hotel again.
