Serviced Apartment Lamartine - Nice

9.2

Residence Lamartine was a fantastic experience for my husband and me. We stayed in the large 1 bedroom self contained units on level 3 & 4 (as we extended our stay). The location was very central and handy to cinemas, shopping, eateries, beach and tram/rail. The building itself is supurb and very clean inside. I would definitly be going back and hopefully staying for a month next time. Madam was more then helpful and obliging, even locating an english speaking dentist for my husband in an emergency. The only negative would be that the street facing rooms are a bit noisy at night (and only because i insisted on having the doors open for fresh air). Also there were items missing from the inventory of glasses and kitchen utensils, and only one hob worked on the stove top on the 4th level. Routine maintainance would make this place perfect.

My wife and I stayed here for 7 days in Sept 2009. The Lamartine Apts are about 4 blocks from the Nice Ville train station that we arrived at from Avignon. A quick 10 minute walk and we were ready for check in. The building has entry security and all rooms have locks so we felt very safe. The neigbourhood was non threatening. A grocery store was two blocks away. The old town and beach were a 15 minute walk south-about six blocks. We never needed a car since everything is within walking distance or there is convenient public transit within a few blocks. The apt was a very clean, 1 bedroom unit with a seperate living room and kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen had a stove, oven, micro, coffee maker and dishwasher. The street outside is noisy from 6am till 9pm. After 9pm things get very quiet because this is a city of 400,000 people who go back to their suburb homes at night. There was a free internet computer in the lobby. From Nice we took a train to the town of Grasse to visit the perfumery, we took a 9 hour bus tour to medievel EZE, Cannes, Antibes, medievel St Paul, Monaco and Monte Carlo. All these towns are also accessible by train from the train station. The sun shone for the whole week, temps were 28C(80F) in the day and 18C(68F) at night with no humidity - just perfect. We also walk down to the beach and swam, the water is crystal clear, and cool but not cold. The old town has many interesting old areas to explore. This apt would not be of interest to those who want a beachfront location. The apt is 6 blocks north of the beach. It is for people who want to just step off the train and walk to the apt, and, for people who want to use the trains to visit other towns around Nice. Loved our time here, the Lamartine is a great place to stay, it's so convenient and clean and classy. We booked through Venere.com for all our travel through France and the reservations were ready for us when we arrived. We travelled by train from Paris, to Avignon, to

It was our first time to stay in the Lamartine and we were very pleased with the apartment. The staff very helpful. The apartments are idealy located. Would certainly recommend them.

We had a very good time in Nice last week, everything in Lamartine was excellent. spacious, clean and very quiet studio apartment. The lady manager and the dog Romy were very friendly and welcoming. I don't have any complaints. We will go back soon.

9.5

The small apartment was ideal for two. It was very well appointed and adjacent to Nice's main shopping streets and very handy for Nice Ville station. Monique was welcoming and very pleasant. I would certainly reeturn to Residence Lamartine if I go back to Nice in the future.

8.9

Friendly atmosphere, nice welcoming, free wi-fi in the rooms with excellent dsl, nice area with many shops, restaurants, cafe, short distance from city center. We were offered a bigger room because the studios we were supposed to have had broken air-con.

8.4

Good location in the middle of the city. Near restaurants and shops and a short walk to the old town and Promenade des Anglès.

We loved Residence Lamartine. A great location and a clean spacious apartment.A stones throw from the main shopping area,5 minutes from the train and bus for airport. A 10 minute walk from the beach and old town. Very friendly and accomodating staff. If we return to Nice we will stay there again.

Overall stay enjoyable, the quality of furnishing was satisfactory, and the apartment’s kitchen was well equipped (even had a dishwasher). Didn't like twin mattresses just placed together, a bit uncomfortable to have a huge gap in the middle of the bed. We stayed 5 days and there was no cleaning or towel replacement service during the stay. For the price we paid (EUR 143 per night for two people), I would expect more frequent cleaning. Overall, it was ok experience and would not mind coming back is price was lower.

Tutto ok, qualche commento: la cucinina del monolocale era abbastanza attrezzata ma mancavano un paio di cose, tra cui un coltello - indispensabile - per tagliare verdure (c'erano solo il coltello per il pane ed i coltelli delle posate) - la signora però, molto gentile, quando glielo abbiamo chiesto, si è scusata e ce ne ha fatti avere due. Mancava la moka, esigenza però tutta italiana, e mancava lo scolapasta, che non serve solo agli italiani ma serve anche a lavare le verdure ed altro ed a scolare il riso, quindi esigenza internazionale. Niente di grave, giusto per informazione. E' saltata la connessione internet così che abbiamo potuto usufruire del servizio (per noi indispensabile) solo i primi tre giorni della settimana in cui abbiamo alloggiato. Il cambio della biancheria viene fatto una volta alla settimana. Secondo noi, buon rapporto qualità-prezzo, anche per l'ottima collocazione, ma classificheremmo il residence con tre stelle. Ci sono differenze tra gli studios al primo piano e quelli al terzo (che abbiamo potuto vedere) - quelli in alto sono più nuovi. Le parti comuni dell'edificio sono molto piacevoli (soggiorno, reception, scalone interno), ampie e luminose. Zona spazzatura al piano interrato pulita, ampia, con contenitori per la raccolta differenziata accuratamente separati e ben tenuti. In conclusione, lo consiglieremmo.

We staid 5 days in this hotel, we rented a studio flat, with a little kitchen (it has everything, from salt to soap and all that you need to cook) the studio is pretty spacious and with high sealing, the same in the bathroom, super spacious and all very, very clean. and with internet connection. the hotel is very quiet. the hotel is easy to find (thanks google-Map), close to the bus station and the train station and only 10 min away from the beach. in few min from the old town. I highly recommended it and we will be back.

It was the first time when my husband and I spent our vacation in Nice.This residence is really recommended when you'd like to have a long stay there. With the help of the kitchen we enjoyed ourselves economically.

7.7

il residence è eccellente l'angolo cottura fornito di tutto, il bagno anche se non modernissimo è molto grande, la stanza che mi è stat assegnata nonh era grande la direttrice si era offerta di cambiarmela, la struttura è stat rimodernata ede è accogliente e pulita,la vicinanza al centro e al supermarket Monoprix, per ultimo l'eccellente rapporto qualità prezzo. lo consiglio a tutti quelli che vogliono fare questo tipo di vacanza.

For an independent family, this is an ideal choice. The appartment was clean and had wonderful air con - which in July is a must. The little kitchen area was well equiped and with the dishwasher all kitchen equipment was clean and ready for use. Another plus for us was that there was free wireless connection. We would happily return.

Excellent. The best place I've stayed in Nice.

We spent the last 3 days of our holiday in France, in Nice. We stayed in a lovely spacious room that had a bedroom adjoining a living room with pull out couch, kitchenette and bathroom. We loved the little balconies that opened onto the street below. Monique and her black dog, were wonderful and helpful hosts! Thank you for a great stay!

8.6

Residence Lamartine is the ideal accomodation for families with children, because you have all you need: spacious rooms, spacious bathroom, cleanliness, a kitchen to make de children's meal, etc. And it's really quietness. It's located near to the city center and the beach too.

7.2

The lady in charge of the hotel has been really helpful when our flight was cancelled and had to stay in Nice for another night. She was able to accomodate us for another night although we called her close to midnight (cos reception closes around 7pm). Only negative point is that we stayed for a total of 3 nights and as there is no cleaning of the rooms during the period, we only had 1 toilet roll for the 4 of us, so its a little inconvenient so make sure you guys asked for more when you check in or when the reception is open.

8.9

Great place to stay if you are going for a short break to Nice. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms - i think the bigger rooms would be better for a longer stay. It had kitchen facilities in the room so you didnt always have to eat out which was nice.

8.2

Davvero molto nuovo e molto carino, peccato che a nizza la vita notturna non è un granchè.

7.6

We enjoyed our stay very much. Monique was an excellent host, welcoming us and accomodating our every need. The location was perfect, easy walk to main train station and to beach. Great food market right around corner. Would stay here again, only in a bigger room. We were a bit cramped in the bedroom, but the bathroom was very big, that helped.

9.2

Exceptional value. Clean. Comfortable. Clever and plentiful amenities. Great location. Convenient. Close to train station and close to city centre without the noise and in a good, safe neighbourhood. Good location from which to see what Nice has to offer in sightseeing. Good location from which to take in the nightlife. Would return in a flash.

We liked the Residence Lamartine very much. The room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The woman who welcomed us was friendly, helpful and spoke English. Location was convenient to train station, bus station, main street (Jean Medicine) and local buses. It was just one block from the Notre Dame church, and maybe 3 blocks from the Monoprix where we bought groceries. It was a fairly long walk down to the old city, beach, and Gare Routier (bus station for buses to Monaco, Eze, and along the Riviera) but there were local buses (1,2,17,and 18) that stopped a couple blocks down Lamartine and went down there. Bus was only 1.3 euro, local and to Eze, Monaco and other Riviera destinations. We definitely would stay there again and recommend it to family and friends. It was a little difficult to find. Just a small sign above the door. The address is correct but we walked right by the first time and local people didn't know when we asked for Lamartine Hotel. Remember it is a residence, apartments, not a hotel.

We stayed in a spacious and clean appartment,with a well equipped kitchen.The lady of the house was very friendly. Trainstation and supermarket was very close,and also to the boulevard,the markets and the Old Town was not far. We had a wonderful stay and if we go to Nice again we sure will stay again in this appartment.

9.9

I loved the location. I found the kitchen to be equipped sufficiently that I could walk to Nice's market, purchase food, and cook meals. The spot was excellent for us, who traveled by trains, but it could be a difficult area to park a car. It's only a 15 minute walk to the beach.

9.4

very quiet, large rooms, well equipped and furnished, good position. Cleaninig only twice a week, required payment in advance.

8.9

Stayed there two years in a row. Feels like home now.

0.7

NO! Wouldn't stay here again. Not the best area to be at night. The owner/operator was rude and unaccomodating. The room was beyond being outdated and extremely small. Bed was old and didn't feel any more comfortable than a sofa bed. We needed to cancel one night of the three night reservation, but she refused to credit us the night. It was so bad of an area & accomodation, I would never return to this place or Nice- no matter how desparete for a place to stay.

9.2

Great!!! Beatiful apartment with a low price

9.3

Very good, cosy and elegant residence. We will return one day and we will suggest the residence to our friends

7.6

The rooms are very clean and neat. We got a room which was away from the road and it was completely silent. The Best part of Lamartine was they have full fledged kitchen, which is very handy when you stay for a week or so. The lady is kind enough to provide basic things like Salt & Washing Soap in the room so you dont need to buy them (take them with you). The Bathroom was very neat and clean. It was much bigger than a regular 4-5 Star hotel which charges you 100+ Euros. The location of the hotel from the map is a little confusing. From Station go to Avenue Jean Meridian and keep walking towards the Beach until you find Notre Dam, take a left turn and at the next junction take another left. The place is right in front of the Bus Stop. The location of this hotel is a little away from the Beach (around 1KM).

9.6

We have stayed in various hotels in Nice. This one has been the best so far. Being an appartment, it offered a total independence (own kitchen etc)and a feeling of being at home rather than hotel. Room was very quiet and nice. The bathroom was fantastic - huge and nice. Hotel is one block away from the main shopping area of Nice - Ave Jean Medicin. Beach is 10 min walk. We will definitely stay in this hotel again. I recommend it to anyone who seeks peaceful and independent holidays.

These appartments are good value for money

Lovely place. marble staircases adorned with Dali prints and chandaliers isn't what you expect for this price but it's what you get. Rooms were much bigger than the pictures suggest, it's about 5 mins walk from the train station / tourist office, 10 mins walk to the old town, 20 mins walk to the beach and 2 mins from the main shopping street. Couldn't believe our luck. Fully air conditioned, fridge was cold, telly worked, bed was perfect. In all, it was a great stay and well worth the price. You could have stayed in a grotty hotel for the same money. There's a €50 deposit on arrival that wasn't mentioned, but you do get it back once you don't destroy the room. And there's a mad evil looking dog roaming the lobby but don't let him scare you. Woof Woof!

Muy bien situado. Trato amable. Muy recomendable.

Very clean, perfect informations in advance. There was more then I expected supplied but some electrical items were not fully functionable: Defect toaster, stove, hair-dryer. Bed was a bit short.

While we arrived Nice, the mainstreet was under construction, this hotel is unknown to most of local people, and most of the road nearby is one way street,so it was very difficult to find by car. By walk is better. Room is not very clean. The most terrible thing for us is, they NEVER clean the room,never change any towel, never take any rubbish no matter how long you stay! We were not informed by Venere or the hotel abt this! No parking place, should park in a public parking house with extra charge. In general We are very dissapointed and do not recommand to stay in this hotel. Leien/Germany
