Hôtel Excelsior by HappyCulture

Not a fan of this hotel…

Lovely spacious room with a small balcony, overlooking the garden. Perfect for an afternoon drink in the sun after a busy day! Great location, only a few minutes walk from the main train station.

Hotel is near to the train station so very convenient if travelling by train. Whilst the room we had was small, it was clean and modern. The AC was cold which is great for warmer days. The hotel offered free water dispensers which is great for filling up your water bottles, saving us from having to buy plastic water bottles which is great for the environment. Staff was very friendly. Also loved the smell of jasmine whenever we approached the hotel.

Bed very comfortable, shower excellent, located very conveniently for station, yet it was quiet (we had garden view room). Breakfast had lots of choice

Perfect location and very supportive staff! Every one of the staff members made our stay a pleasant one. They put special effort into making our trip very special and memorable. We were truly touched by the beautiful room decorations and the thoughtful touches upon our arrival. It made us feel incredibly welcomed and celebrated. We will definitely return and rebook next time. Thank you, TEAM!

Great hotel and in an excellent location for the train station. It is about a 15 - 20 min walk to the Old Town where there are loads of restaurants and bars. We didn’t have breakfast in the hotel choosing to use the local boulangeries which had delicious pastries. We had a triple room on the fourth floor (room 401) which overlooked the garden area. Balcony had the sun in the afternoon. Room clean and shower powerful. Beds were comfy as were the pillows. Had a fridge, coffee maker (with pods) and a kettle. Staff were very friendly and let us store our luggage as we arrived a few hours before check in at 3pm.

Very good central location. Very near train station with easy and cheap journeys along the coast. Good amenities in room : fridge, kettle, mugs, safe, hairdryer. Excellent shower.

Great location very close to the station. Breakfast could have been better and there was a lack of space for breakfast. Room was clean enough as a base to explore the city

Average hotel. Room very small. Wouldn’t stay there again. Positives - very well situated. Reception staff were very pleasant.

We loved our stay here and would definitely stay here again when in Nice. Location was great within a 5 minute walk to the centre of town. The staff were super friendly and on hand if needed (A big thank you to Alex and Moreen). The room was great (we booked the delixe with balcony overlooking the pool and courtyard area). The rooms were clean and very comfortable and adequate for a city break stay.

⭐️⭐️⭐️½ (3.5 stars) We stayed at Hôtel Excelsior by HappyCulture for five nights. The location is a big plus — just a few minutes’ walk from the Nice-Ville train station, making it convenient for day trips to nearby destinations like Èze or Monte Carlo. The hotel also provides a complimentary filtered water and coffee station, which is a thoughtful touch. The front desk staff were consistently helpful and professional throughout our stay. However, the room setup left much to be desired. The “king-size” bed was actually two single mattresses joined together, making it impossible to get a good night’s sleep. There was no electrical outlet in the bathroom, and the room design included several unusable millwork cavities instead of practical closet space. The door closers on rooms were extremely loud, often startling us when others exited. Lastly, the breakfast quality didn’t justify its price. Overall, a convenient choice for train travelers with courteous staff, but with several comfort and design issues that hold it back from being a truly enjoyable stay.

Great staff , breakfast & room comfy Would recommend

Great location for ladies that like to shop and sightsee.Good access on transportation to Cannes & Monte Carlo.Breakfast provided was very good. Room clean and comfortable.Would recommend to others.

Rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. Close to the main train station and tramway stop. Numerous dining options nearby.

Staff were friendly. Room was clean. And breakfast was delicious. It’s a quiet, quant area. About a 8 minute walk to the tram and the train was 3 minute walk. Tram could take you to Old Nice in minutes. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy place in safe neighborhood. The staff is friendly and attentive. Property needs a little touch up /remodeling

Staff were excellent as well as the breakfast! Gutted we didn’t get a chance to use the pool area especially as the new garden furniture had just arrived! Good excuse to visit again!

Amazing customer service and hospitality. Everyone was very kind and the breakfast was great. Overall a good stay and would recommend.

Definitely not a 4 star hotel. It was the worst room. I strongly do not recommend especially if you are planning to stay in a group of 3. Many of the staff are very nice and the front building exterior is very cute. The building we were guided to was an old two-storey building behind the front building and the pool. It's a terrible room with a small, mildewy smell and dusty look. There are always people by the pool, so you can't open the windows or curtains.There is absolutely zero privacy. The room is very compact that there is no space to open your luggage. I moved the annoying closet in the middle of the room and found a lot of dust and insects. The air conditioner smells mildew, and my throat hurts the moment I enter the room, and since we cannot open the window, the air makes us difficult to breathe. I asked the front desk to change rooms, but on the first day they told us that the room was full, and on the second day they said they need to clean the room and can’t change it. Even after saying this, they didn't refund so we checked out for our well being. It's not a space for humans to stay. The WiFi is very slow (0.4mbps) a frustrating online experience. The old two-storey house and the front building is disproportionate for the same price.
