Hotel Suisse

We recently stayed at Hôtel Suisse in Nice and had a wonderful experience overall. While we gave the hotel 4 stars primarily because it’s a bit dated, the charm and unbeatable location more than made up for it. Room: 4 stars The room, like the hotel itself, felt a little dated but was very clean and comfortable. Everything was well-maintained, and we appreciated the care taken with cleanliness. Service: 5 stars The service was exceptional. The bellhop went above and beyond, helping with all our luggage and personally delivering our bags to the room—a level of service we truly appreciated. Location: 5 stars The location is truly the star of the show. Hôtel Suisse offers stunning sunset views of the beach that are hard to beat. It’s perfectly situated within walking distance of Old Town, fantastic restaurants, and great shops. You really can't ask for a better spot to explore Nice on foot. Value: We felt the value was on par, especially given the amazing views and central location. You're paying for the unbeatable scenery and proximity to everything, which makes it worth it. In summary, if you value location and service, Hôtel Suisse delivers. It’s a classic, charming stay with panoramic views that you’ll remember long after check-out.

Disappointing Stay – Not Recommended if You Have a Car We stayed for 2 nights, and the experience was disappointing. The room was extremely small for two people—barely enough space to open two small carry-on suitcases at the same time. Bathroom was not updated. One major issue was the parking. The listing on Expedia made it seem like the hotel had its own parking, but that wasn’t the case. We had to find a parking garage about 600–700 meters away, which was a real hassle, especially with luggage. We wasted time searching for parking and then had to walk quite a bit to the hotel. I brought this up with the front desk, and instead of being helpful, the receptionist was rude. She told us we should have called in advance or temporarily parked in front of the hotel to ask—but that wasn’t even an option. The street in front is a crowded, single-lane road where stopping is not feasible. As foreigners, calling ahead wasn’t practical for us either. Overall, we paid $600 per night for a tiny 110-square-foot space, inconvenient parking, and unhelpful staff. It felt like a tourist trap. If we had known there was no parking, we would not have booked here. And also breakfast was over priced. Definitely not recommended.

I rarely leave negative reviews unless something is truly terrible. Let me explain point by point: 1. Price:I booked the most basic room for nearly €450 per night, which was a few hundred euros cheaper than the Le Méridien next door. But when I arrived, I realized they are not even in the same league. This hotel only costs around €100 per night in the off-season. For comparison, Le Méridien is €260 in the off-season, and the Luxury Collection Monastery is €640 (and still €640 in peak season). You can imagine how much this hotel is overpriced. 2. ServiceThe staff never takes the initiative to do anything. Whether during check-in or check-out, they always look like you owe them money. Never took the luggage for me 3. Facilities. Juet compare it to a €100-150 hotel. The hairdryer looks like an old payphone, the bed sags badly, the bathtub is clogged, and the room is only 16 square meters. Don’t even mention the elevator—it only fits two people. 4. Location:The location is good, right by the sea. But at the same price (or even lower), other hotels in the area also have great locations. If the price is over €130, it’s just not worth it!
