Hôtel Aston La Scala

I have nothing to complain about this hotel. Me and my friend stayed here for our last 2 days in the South of France. We booked an upgraded room, and it was so spacious, with lovely big windows and a great bed. The hotel was in a perfect location, minutes away from everything. We had dinner in the restaurant our first night there, I had the shrimp spaghetti, my friend had a chicken ceaser salad, and for dessert I had the pear. It was lovely and relaxing, the food was good, and we felt very at ease. We ordered room service breakfast, which was a nice treat and all fresh, however I’m not sure if the food is worth the money, but it’s good for a lazy relaxing morning. We went to the rooftop bar for a bottle of wine later that day, and enjoyed gorgeous views, despite the pool being closed. When we returned to the room for a nap it was all cleaned and made up lovely. It was a great experience, and felt super luxurious, a perfect way to end our trip.

Our stay at the Grand Hotel Aston in Nice was a bit of a mixed experience. The room itself was okay, but we didn’t have a proper shower—just a handheld shower head—and the water was extremely cold, which made things uncomfortable. The rooftop, however, was beautiful with amazing scenery and definitely the highlight of our stay. We weren’t too impressed with the breakfast service. It was very self-serve, and you had to make your own coffee, boil your own eggs, and even cook your own pancakes. It didn’t feel very relaxing, especially first thing in the morning.

Hôtel Aston La Scala – France Overall Rating: 3.5/5 Room (Stayed in Room 517): The view from the room was excellent, and the space was generous. Daily housekeeping did a very good job. However, maintenance was lacking—there was mold in the shower, not enough hangers, and the safe was placed inconveniently close to the floor. The air conditioning was weak, and despite calling maintenance twice, it was never resolved. Breakfast: Outstanding breakfast with a wide variety of options and friendly staff. The only issue was the lack of order around the boiled egg station—some guests did not respect the queue. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend the breakfast. Hotel Location: Perfect location—close to everything, with a tram stop just steps away. Ideal for exploring the city. Hotel Conditions: Unfortunately, maintenance is a serious concern. Many areas of the building feel abandoned. The rooftop pool was very dirty, lobby furniture was damaged, and the overall organization was poor. The hotel has great potential but needs better management and upkeep. Rooftop Bar/Restaurant: While the rooftop view is beautiful, the food was mediocre and took a long time to arrive. Most installations need urgent maintenance. The quality of drinks was also disappointing and needs improvement. Conclusion: Despite the issues, we enjoyed our stay and would consider returning. We recommend the hotel for its location and views, but management needs to urgently address the maintenance and organizational problems.
