We had a lovely stay at Albert 1er Hotel in Nice. The location couldn’t be better - right by the Old Town and just a short walk to the Promenade des Anglais.
The décor throughout the hotel is very tasteful, and the staff were excellent - super attentive, friendly, and always willing to help. Communication before our stay was also great.
We arrived early and, although our room wasn’t ready yet, we were able to leave our luggage at reception, and did the same on our last day before a late flight, which was really handy.
The room was on the smaller side with limited wardrobe space, but the bathroom was nice and spacious with a bath and window. We had a courtyard view - not the most exciting, but it was mostly quiet apart from some noise on Saturday night.
The mattress and pillows were extremely comfortable – I often struggle to sleep the first few nights away, but I had no trouble here.
There are water refill stations on every floor, which is really convenient.
There’s only one lift, and it’s quite small - it fits about two people with bags. Unfortunately, it wasn’t working on our last day, which wasn’t a big deal for us but might be worth noting if you have a lot of luggage.
We checked in on my birthday, which the hotel didn’t acknowledge in any way.
Housekeeping could be a bit better, as we often noticed some hair still on the bathroom floor when we came back to the room in the evening, but overall we really enjoyed our stay and would consider coming back.
