Mercure Nice Promenade Des Anglais

“Superb Location, Clean and Comfortable Hotel.”

The previous reviews berated the hotel for looking tired but this is, now, not so . The whole building has been updated and , whilst you can always find something to criticise if you look hard enough, the overall impression is one of a clean well run hotel.

The previous reviews berated the hotel for looking tired but this is, now, not so . The whole building has been updated and , whilst you can always find something to criticise if you look hard enough, the overall impression is one of a clean well run hotel. I found it pleasant to stay, very, very clean , and comfortable enough for my needs. The location is superb with good views from my room. The breakfasts. Whilst offering good room service, could have been a little more varied. I do understand that it needs to be more limited than a buffet style but even a choice of yoghurt would have been good. Most of the staff were charming, always acknowledging your arrival and departure but there is always one who has had a bad day! All in all it’s good value for money and that’s all I require.

“I’ll be back”

I’m an Accor member, stay at their Mercures and Novotels all over Europe. Mercures especially can be very inconsistent. This one was a good one. Expensive (as expected in August), but good overall.

I’m an Accor member, stay at their Mercures and Novotels all over Europe. Mercures especially can be very inconsistent. This one was a good one. Expensive (as expected in August), but good overall. I like the Mercure beds and pillows, the room (privilege seaview) was spacious, the bathroom too. Nespresso machine is always a plus. Enough closet space too. Sockets ok (would have liked some usb sockets in 2024 though). Windows can open and there’s a small balcony (you can stand outside, not sit). Fridge too. There was a lounge chair construction attached to the desk which was more arty than actually comfortable, but I moved the small table and chair to the balcony door and that worked. Minus in the bathroom: smelly slow running shower drain (not unusual in Mercures and Novotels). And a bit too much mould to my liking. Elsewhere in the room there was dirt too. Would be nice if they would totally deep clean their rooms one by one in winter, beyond what a housekeeper on a tight schedule can so (respect to those people, always). Breakfast was good. Plenty of healthy options (7-8 different fruits, lots of nuts and seeds too, you can make your own eggs in mini-pans etc). Free steel water bottle and free water fountains on every floor. Friendly, helpful staff (I’ve read some negative reviews here, so I’m only speaking from my experience). Airco was remarkably good (it often isn’t in France). And of course, the location is what you really pay for. By the sea, plenty of restaurants nearby, supermarket and pharmacies within a 5 minute walk, 5 minutes from the Cours Seleya market. I’m going to stay here again. Although maybe not in August next time.

“Disappointingly run down”

Hotel is disappointingly run down and scruffy and in need of refurbishment. Corridors and room smelt of old carpet and were in need of serious updating. Two lights out in bathroom, dirty towel left from previous guest, toilet seat did not fit properly and no body lotion though two hair conditioners! Front desk staff were nice and helpful and the location is good but for what i paid i could have stayed in a much better hotel. I would not recommend or go back.
