Best Western Alba Hotel

This hotel is well-located, clean and budget friendly. The hotel staff are helpful. They recommended and set up an excellent trip to Monaco and Eze Village for us. At no additional charge, the staff will also hold luggage on the day of your departure. In case you need internet access, there is a computer that guests can use for free. The breakfast may be a little pricey, but the croissants are the freshest we had in Nice. The reason I did not give this a five star rating is because the showers are a tad tight. We really enjoyed this hotel. less

Best Western Alba is a small, but nice hotel with good connections to everywhere in the city: walking distance to the city center, the tram line goes in the same street, the railway station on "backyard" etc. The staff speaks English and is very friendly and helpful. The room was big enough for two budget travelers with a safety box, electric kettle and minibar/fridge. The breakfast is available in a small breakfast room for 13 €, and contains everything that a tourist needs for starting a good day. Extra bonus for storing the luggage on departure day, professional and safe. less

The hotel provides excellent value for money, both in terms of location and comfort. We had the family room, which comprised a mezzanine room with a very large bed and two single beds for the kids downstairs- a nice change from traditional family rooms. The bathroom was well appointed with the usual towels and soaps, but the hairdryer was rubbish. The air conditioning was not working and we had to open the large window as it was boiling in the room. The best feature of this hotel, however, is the location. It is walking distance from the Promenade and it is perfect to go shopping on a rainy day. less

Walking distance from Nice Ville station with the frequent trams just outside and the Old Town 10 minutes walk away, this hotel is ideally situated. It is clean and comfortable with very helpful reception staff. We had breakfast included in the very reasonable price, booked with Booking.com and the breakfast room on the first floor (although small) was bright and airy with a good selection for breakfast. We found that we were able to visit many places with such a close proximity to the train station. The bus station has now moved (from our last visit) to a new site. (Take the tram to Vauban and walk behind the carpark) From there all the bus services are available to go virtually anywhere you choose. From reading other reviews we requested a room at the rear of the hotel as it was quieter. The room was fine with twin beds but the toilet and bath/shower were in separate rooms. The art was to open one door without hitting the other door. A bonus in the room was tea/coffee making facilities and a free safe. The front of the hotel is facing the main road with the passing trams and could possibly be noisy during the summer if you wanted to open the window. Excellent wi-fi connection. Would stay there again less

Just back from four nights at Best Western Alba and it proved to be an ideal base from which to explore Nice and the coast. Very convenient location on Rue Jean Medecin where the new tram line runs and only a short walk to the railway station. In the other direction the Promenade des Anglais is only about a 15 minute walk and so a very central base for most requirements and explorations. The hotel room (301) was big enough and quiet as it was at the rear of the building and cleanliness was good. The breakfast was ample with good choices including all the usual yoghurts, cereals, breads and pastries plus fresh fruit salad or fruit compote and was served in a very pleasant breakfast room. The staff were all helpful and friendly so I had no complaints whatsoever and would recommend to anyone wanting a good value and convenient base in Nice. less
