Hôtel Suisse in Nice

I rarely leave negative reviews unless something is truly terrible. Let me explain point by point:

1. Price:I booked the most basic room for nearly €450 per night, which was a few hundred euros cheaper than the Le Méridien next door. But when I arrived, I realized they are not even in the same league. This hotel only costs around €100 per night in the off-season. For comparison, Le Méridien is €260 in the off-season, and the Luxury Collection Monastery is €640 (and still €640 in peak season). You can imagine how much this hotel is overpriced.

2. ServiceThe staff never takes the initiative to do anything. Whether during check-in or check-out, they always look like you owe them money. Never took the luggage for me

3. Facilities. Juet compare it to a €100-150 hotel. The hairdryer looks like an old payphone, the bed sags badly, the bathtub is clogged, and the room is only 16 square meters. Don’t even mention the elevator—it only fits two people.

4. Location:The location is good, right by the sea. But at the same price (or even lower), other hotels in the area also have great locations.
If the price is over €130, it’s just not worth it!

Disappointing Stay – Not Recommended if You Have a Car

We stayed for 2 nights, and the experience was disappointing. The room was extremely small for two people—barely enough space to open two small carry-on suitcases at the same time. Bathroom was not updated.

One major issue was the parking. The listing on Expedia made it seem like the hotel had its own parking, but that wasn’t the case. We had to find a parking garage about 600–700 meters away, which was a real hassle, especially with luggage. We wasted time searching for parking and then had to walk quite a bit to the hotel.

I brought this up with the front desk, and instead of being helpful, the receptionist was rude. She told us we should have called in advance or temporarily parked in front of the hotel to ask—but that wasn’t even an option. The street in front is a crowded, single-lane road where stopping is not feasible. As foreigners, calling ahead wasn’t practical for us either.

Overall, we paid $600 per night for a tiny 110-square-foot space, inconvenient parking, and unhelpful staff. It felt like a tourist trap. If we had known there was no parking, we would not have booked here.
And also breakfast was over priced.

Definitely not recommended.

We stayed here for the sea view. First of all, we had to wait until 3pm to enter. I checked in very early and on the first day, I was assigned the worst room on the first floor with a broken shower. There was no apology. The front desk said in a very normal and even proud tone that we could go to that room to wash up and let the platform coordinate with them to see if we could change the room. When I went back to get the room card, the front desk "explained" in a very serious tone why we were given this room because there were no rooms and we booked late. The attitude was serious. My friend and I stood at the front desk and listened to him as if we had done something wrong. The wifi password was too complicated for us, so I said I would connect later. After hearing what I said, the receptionist laughed with another receptionist next to me... I felt disrespectful and impolite, and the whole process was very embarrassing. What's so funny? In short, I have stayed in many hotels in various European cities. I have never encountered a situation where I felt uncomfortable with the front desk. The elevator is simply the worst hotel I have ever seen, comparable to domestic guesthouses. The room toilet is very old and poor. I was woken up many times in the morning by noises that seemed to be completely in my room. In addition, the unpleasant check-in and some trivial matters delayed my first day's trip for almost half a day. I strongly do not recommend it. I don't think this can be considered a normal standard four-star hotel.
