I had a fantastic stay at this charming boutique hotel in Nice. The hotel was beautifully designed and comfortable. My room had a stunning view of the Notre-Dame Basilica, which was lovely through the large windows that opened, there was a gate across rather than a true balcony.
One of the highlights of my stay was the HUG Café attached to the hotel. I pre-purchased my breakfast, which was affordable and gluten-free. The café had a great selection of gluten-free options, all of which were delicious. Their cappuccino was hands-down the best I had during my entire trip—absolutely perfect!
The room itself was clean and comfortable, with a coffee and tea station. Upon arrival, I was provided with complimentary bottled water, which was a nice touch. While there was no shampoo or conditioner provided, the hand soap and body wash were of good quality.
The staff were incredibly friendly and fluent in multiple languages, making communication effortless. I did have one minor issue with the heating unit not being synced to the remote control, but the staff was quick to assist.
One thing to note is that this isn’t a quiet area—the basilica bells ring hourly, and the street outside is bustling with activity, including the tram. However, I didn’t mind at all, as I’m used to a city atmosphere. A major perk was being able to watch the Carnaval parade right from my window! Such a unique experience!
