The Jay Hotel by HappyCulture

Super great stay!
We can definitely recommend the place. The hotel room was very clean and comfy, the breakfast was good (even though sometimes some of the food was already empty when coming not so early for breakfast). BUT the stuff was making the difference - everyone was super nice and friendly, we really felt appreciated and welcomed. Clear 5/5 reco

A cozy little hotel with an excellent location. We had a really pleasant stay. The variety of food at breakfast could be improved though. For a 7 nights stay, you get quite bored with the same options every day. Apart from that, everything was ok.

Very friendly and helpful staff giving great recommendations for restaurants, beaches and day trips. We had a top floor suite for two adults and two kids, there was plenty of space for us. There is a water fountain for free refills and a coffee machine for free coffee in the lobby. The decor is very unique and the location is awesome, close to the beach and the train station at the same time. The area is very safe and you can easily walk around with kids in the evening to grab dinner nearby. But I’d also recommend having the breakfast at the hotel.

The best thing I can say about this hotel: here you truly feel like a most welcome guest!

This is our 2nd time staying here. I Love this hotel! It’s in the perfect location, 2 blocks from the beach and a 5 minute walk to all the popular spots with many stores and restaurants on this street. The hotel itself is super cute. Rooms are decorated beautifully and have everything you could need(even a small kitchenette). The staff is great. They were very helpful and even accommodated a last minute addition to our stay. They offer breakfast for a minimal fee and free fancy coffee/teas. I highly recommend and will absolutely be coming back next time I am in Nice.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel! The staff is incredibly kind, funny and attentive, they truly made us feel welcome. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, the main promenade, the old town, shops and restaurants are plenty around. It is also very convenientl We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel!It’s also conveniently close to the main train station and the tram to the airport. The breakfast was excellent, and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was very pleasant. Highly recommended!

A wonderful experience for all the family. The facilities are perfect for everyone and the hotel is so close to the beach and cafe/restaurants.
The breakfast was delicious, complimentary hot and cold drinks, beach towels and beach umbrella’s were a bonus.
Most importantly the staff were incredible, so helpful and friendly, we would highly recommend!

Great stay at Hotel The Jay! The best part of our stay by far was the excellent service and kindness by the staff. In particular we interacted with Alain upon check in and several subsequent times — he was very kind and accommodating, remembering our names whenever we saw him.

The only downsides to the place I could report were that the A/C had a tough time keeping up with the heat so our first night was quite hot. In the morning, we asked Alain about it and he explained that it was because it’s been much hotter than usual this month. He quickly procured a fan for us and this made a huge difference for our second night!

Besides that, the room was quirky but very nice and comfortable; the location was excellent— near the beach and restaurants but also quiet and protected. We had our own balcony where we could drink our coffee (provided). Also loved the refillable water stations!

Overall, highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a budget option with amazing customer service!!

PS - for nearby lunch/dinner recs, go to Peixes. You won’t regret it.

I had an amazing experience at The Jay Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The atmosphere of the hotel is both elegant and cozy, making it the perfect place to relax.

My room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. I especially loved the comfortable bed and the modern bathroom. The location is also excellent – close to shops, restaurants, and public transportation, yet peaceful enough for a quiet night’s sleep.

The breakfast was delicious, with plenty of fresh options, and the service throughout my stay was consistently excellent. I would definitely recommend The Jay Hotel to anyone looking for a stylish and comfortable place to stay. I’ll definitely be back!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel The Jay in Nice, France, and I can honestly say it was the best hotel experience I have ever had.

From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed and secure. The front desk staff were not only professional and knowledgeable but also exceptionally kind and friendly. Their warm hospitality made my trip truly memorable—something that stands out after traveling for over five decades. It was difficult to leave the wonderful people that I met at The Jay. I would like to mention everyone but have to send a special thank you to Liliana. She went above and beyond to make my trip special.

The hotel is in an ideal location, making it easy to explore the beauty of Nice. My room was very comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. I especially appreciated the kitchenette, which included a refrigerator, small sink, cooktop, and microwave— perfect for preparing a meal and staying "home" occasionally. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I loved that complimentary coffee, tea, and water were always available.

In terms of cleanliness and amenities, everything was top-notch. The comfort, convenience, 1920s decor, and stellar service make The Jay a standout.

I give Hotel The Jay a solid 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nice. I look forward to returning in the future.
