This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way! The location is perfectly walkable, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the lounge offers free coffee all day. Rooms are spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, complete with a kitchenette (microwave, fridge, kettle, stovetop, and espresso machine). I loved all the design touches throughout the space. My only suggestion would be to add safety handles/bars in the shower/tub area to make it easier and safer to step out.

Highly recommend hotel Jay. Staff were very friendly, updated amenities, location was perfect, close to the beach, not too close to noise. Do not expect a kitchen, only enough to heat food in the microwave, and make a sandwich. Otherwise included breakfast was good, and lobby espresso machine was a treat.

My stay was good and I stayed for six nights. What amazed me was that on Expedia said it is a 4 star hotel. This Jay hotel by Happy Culture is far from 4 star hotel. It is definitely a 3 star hotel. The location was very convenient, but surrounding area was dirty with big trash cans outside the hotel plus homeless being around and at nights get noisy. The staff were very nice but the manager was very unpleasant. The first morning I was there I had breakfast and that was nothing special for the price tag. The second day on I asked if I can get juts a croissant since I have to take my medication in the morning not with empty stomach. She said okay but she was policing me like I ma going to steal the entire place with her looks. I also asked her about an address and instead of explaining the route to some one who is going to stay for six nights as opposed to others stay for 2 or nights, she responded with a cold tone to the sea. that is all! Over all was okay but again it is absolutely a star hotel and not a friendly manager. I will not choose this hotel for the next time in Nice.

I could not find fault in the property. It is centrally located and customer service was excellent and this will set them apart from the rest. The moment we checked-in we were taken care of right away by Liliana even if we arrived early for our check-in. We stayed for seven nights. Allan at the reception (night shift) was the best - he made us feel like we are friends and every time we walk back in the hotel, he would ask how we were, what do we need and always calls us "TEAM BALTAZAR". We were touched when he mentioned that he cannot see us during our last few days as he will be off. We were a bit sad as we were looking forward to our short chit chats with him. If we go back to NICE - we will definitely stay here again. Location is perfect, the amenities were very good and staff were the best.

Decent hotel in a great location

Great location, friendly staff. Decent room, bathroom was really big. Well eqipped kitchette. The road its on was fairly busy during our stay so if your a light sleeper id suggest asking for a room that doesn’t face the road. Our aircon didnt seem to work that well , the room was fairly got most of the time despite setting the thermosat to a low temp,as we visited in winter this wasnt a huge issue though and we didnt report it.
