HI Hostel Nice Camélias

This hostel was overall average. Although there was no AC i found it easy to fix this problem by using the large fan that was provided and opening the balcony door. I was in a room that fitted eight people and the half i was on was extremely crammed, when we went to pack the cases wouldn’t fit so we ended up having to individually pack. Four people where sharing the shower room that was surprisingly spacious and there was a section to put clothing in so it would stay dry, the shower was also very cold for people too cool down and hot if people wanted to warm themselves up. The hostel had very thin walls which made it hard to talk to friends in the evening as lots of people would be banging on doors shouting at you. The bathroom was communal and would be shared with four rooms two of six and two eight, in the bathroom there was no sink so you were unable to wash your hand after using the toilet. The beds were mainly comfy but the bedsheets were stained with blood and food, we also weren’t provided with sheets till our second night.The sink was in the room. And next to a large amount of plugs which could be a fire hazard. The staff at this hostel were very kind and accommodating, they spoke both french and English which was helpful whilst trying to communicate. The breakfast was incredibly lovely, there was croissants, bread, fruit, ham and cheese, pastries, yogurt, coffee and tea, juice, and water. The communal eating areas were well kept apart from the occasional stain. There was a vending machine with food and drinks ranging from 2€ - 5€. I would say this hostel is good for trips when you are going to be out all day and just want a place to sleep and eat breakfast.

I really enjoyed my stay at Les Camélias, especially the patio and the free breakfast. My room was on the top floor and I had a perfect view into the city from my window. The location made my stay so walkable, wherever you wanted to go, you'd arrive everywhere in 10-15 minutes max. I also felt really safe walking home alone at night and really made use of the 24h reception to open the gate for me whenever I arrived after closing time. In general, the staff was really helpful, there was a free luggage room (which is rare these days) and everything went according to plan, making my stay in Nice great :) The only thing I will mention is the cleanliness, since my shower had a weird smell from time to time and also my bed sheets smelled clean but had some coloured stains on them. All in all still a good experience!

A Warm, Safe, and Clean Stay in the Heart of Nice 🏡🌞 I had a truly wonderful experience staying at **Hostel Les Camélias** in Nice! The **cleanliness** is absolutely top-notch—every area, from the rooms to the common spaces, is cleaned thoroughly **every single day**. It really gave a fresh and comfortable feeling throughout the whole stay. The **safety standards** are also excellent, with **clear rules** that are well respected by everyone, which I truly appreciated. I felt completely secure the entire time. One of the best parts is the **location**—right in the **city center**, just a short walk to the **beach 🏖️**, which made it super convenient to explore and enjoy Nice. But what really made my stay memorable was the **incredible staff**. Always smiling, making jokes, offering help, and creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that made me feel right at home. 💛 There are a few things to consider: – There’s **no air conditioning**, and in the summer it can get **very hot** 🥵. – There are **mosquitoes**—a bit annoying, so I’d recommend bringing or buying a repellent cream 🦟. – The **breakfast is basic**, and if you're lactose intolerant, note that there aren’t lactose-free options available 🥐☕. Still, despite this I **loved and really enjoyed** my stay. The positives far outweigh the rest, and I’d **highly recommend Hostel Les Camélias** to anyone looking for a safe, clean, and welcoming place to stay in Nice! 🇫🇷

In the room was very hot even though there was a fan cooling down, but still not enough there is no AC. Also the phone charger was USB type C, for people who has type C cable chargers is not possible to charge. However the hostel staff loaned me cable to charge my devices. I find it very uncomfortable but so far I managed to sort it out. Also the shower wasn’t clean enough. However I would say that the staff was very helpful with what I needed or needed to be fix. The breakfast was very poor, would be very good to have more options that what was offered.

Had the best experience at this hostel! Went solo but befriended my roommate right away and now we hope to meet again at this hostel next year. Can´t describe how great it was. Walking distance to the centre/beach, breakfast included, very clean and comfy as well as that amazing balcony and outside garden, honestly felt a little sad when leaving :)

I stayed at this hostel and really appreciated the great location—everything is within walking distance, including major tourist attractions. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to answer any questions. The room was clean and comfortable. However, I wish the shower area had been better maintained. Breakfast was okay but lacked variety—adding more options would improve the experience. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. I recommend this hostel for travelers looking for a central location and welcoming staff. Thanks ❤️

Good thing: Location isn’t bad. The rest: I needed to do the top bed myself when I checked in. Horrible start of the stay. The room is very hot, no ac. Very loud. Shared toilet on the floor always stinks. Don’t put your food in that fridge. I put mine twice with all the labels and it was stolen/thrown away/disappeared both times (be sure to ask about the fridge rules when you check in cause they might forget to inform you). Don’t recommend staying here if you don’t want your vacation to be ruined.

The accommodation was nice, most of the staff were also warm and accommodating. The bed space set-up was completely fine but maybe they can re orient the placing of the trash bin inside toilets since it is quite unsanitary that used tissues are close (skin touching proximity) to people using the toilet. Also breakfast lacks variety but is certainly generous in terms of amount of food serving. Nonetheless, the place is still good for my first time in Nice. Merci beaucoup 🙏🏽
