Hôtel Belle Meunière

Hotel approach is lovely, on a quiet street, very Nice-like aesthetic, staff are extremely helpful and couldn’t do anymore for us, the building feels very secure. The reception sells soft drinks for fair prices. The rooms are slightly dated however are large with en-suite, very clean and beds were made every day by the cleaner. Location to Nice-Ville station is fantastic, 15 min walk to the Nice sea front, plenty of restaurants nearby! Can leave bags after check out for free which is very helpful! Would like to thank the owners and staff, would recommend.

What a Beautiful Surprise this little Gem of a Hotel turned out to be. Rooms can do with a few little touch ups but quaint. Comfortable Bed. Clean Room and linen/Towels. Staff were Casual yet VERY PROFESSIONAL and polite and attentive. Communication between staff is Professional.Minutes walking distance to Old Town and many attractions. I Highly recommend this little Gem. 10/10

Used this Hotels secure baggage service today after arriving in Nice Ville station. We couldn't check into our accommodation at Beaulieu sur mer until 4pm so decided to drop our bags here and explore Nice for a few hours. The staff were very polite and efficient. The woman in charge of the baggage offered to ring a taxi for us. We sat in the grounds under the trees for a while as it was so hot. Wish they had sold iced lemonade lol. Looks lovely from the outside. Didn't go in. Very convenient for Station and walk straight down from it you are on the beautiful Promenade De Anglais.

Good value. Brilliant location. Rooms were clean. Very helpful staff. Also have baggage storage. Right beside the train station to cannes, antibes, monaco and the airport. Great place to base yourself from. 15 minute walk from the beach and the old town.

Thursday morning: The hotel is very charming from the outside. And it's location is conveniently right next to the train station for getting as far away from it as possible. Our first few minutes at the hotel were lovely as we were greeted by the manager who was pedantic about being given a first name rather than a surname. Sure, whatever. She allowed us to put our bags in the hold outside of the hotel as she waited impatiently for our group of 9 to get ourselves organised after a 20 minute walk in the heat of the day from the tram stop. After lunch by the beach: We arrived back to the hotel where we were made to pay and extra charge they call "City Tax" although this was not once mentioned on their site and it actually says "All taxes and charges are included in the price" so yeah, great. We got into our nice cool room number 4 which was pleasant on a hot day. One of my accompanying group members compared it to a uni accomodation but I wouldn't be so generous. Buddy no.1 walks into the bathroom to find no water tap in the basin and the flush on the toilet held together by a wine bottle cork and a wire. Creative! 30 minutes into our stay we noticed a tapping sound every 2-3 seconds from above and a wet patch on the false ceiling - similar to those ceilings in schools and offices - that was growing at a slow rate. We reported the matter to reception straight away who seemed unbothered but noted the incident. After eating dinner out somewhere the 4 of us staying in room 4 were eager to see the progress of our new water feature in our room but we're disappointed when we found the wet patch had grown to the size of the entirety of the ceiling tile closest to the wall. When we spoke to the night shift receptionist he was sympathetic enough to give my friend, who was directly below the leak, a key to room number 5 for the night incase any water was to come past the false ceiling and onto their bed... "Squeak squeak" said the bed. 4am: BANG! Suddenly we all were awoken to realise our room now had a ceiling tile missing and full waterfall straight onto matey-boys bed. Brilliant. "Go go go!" I yelled to him in my delirious state as he sprung to action grabbing the key to room 5 and skidaddled. The next morning: We made it known to the manager who was not apologetic in the slightest. She was in more of a rage about the situation than we were. Not offering any kind of compensation or apology, blaming the plumber "ohhh he came yesterday to fix the drains in the showers and he actually texted me that they were sorted," she pleaded in her french accent. She did get on with it and fix it that day so yeah, whatever. The shower was actually decent tbf, apart from you had to hold the shower head with one hand as there was no wall mount but hey - I'm being picky. It warmed up quickly and was easily adjustable via the cold and hot water valves. Thankfully nothing else exciting really happened in the hotel the next two nights and we spent as much time as we could away from it visiting Menton, Monaco and Ventimiglia. The final night I woke up with a couple bites on my finger and on my toe but I thought nothing of it until I saw the other reviews here about bed bug bites. "Damn I forgot to kiss my homies goodnight and wish the bedbugs don't bite". To top it off I left some fridge magnets that I had bought in the room when we checked out. When I returned at 6pm on the last day to query about checking the room for them the receptionist looked at me like okay go on then. They weren't there, they had been removed by the cleaner according to the receptionist so that's great. This was my fault but it was the nail in the coffin. In retrospect we should've looked at the reviews first and we take the blame for not doing our due diligence. The hotel may look "cute" from outside but, inside it is seriously neglected. To the manager - please take some pride in your hotel. Your guests are your business and it is your job to make them feel safe staying in your hotel and present like you live in a first world country. My goodness don't stay here.

I don’t usually give bad reviews but we met the rudest and most offensive person in our 2 weeks trip in France. This hotel provides luggage storage services and there was a sign outside the hotel to ring the bell for luggage storage. At first we rang the bell and there was no response for 1 minute, so we rang it a second time and to our horror, an angry woman started shouting from inside the hotel lobby. When she opened the door, she said to us “did someone die? What’s the hurry?” Basically she was unhappy that we rang the bell twice saying that we are scaring and disturbing her hotel guests at 5.30pm? But when she is shouting, is she not disturbing her guests? The owner of the hotel responded to my post and said that the staff alleged that I was rude to her first and that we pressed and kept our fingers on the bell, which is lie. Even if a customer is being rude, it doesn’t give a service staff the right to curse him/her!

Location was great, close to train station shops and beaches. Room however was contained with bed bugs and my friend got them. Room wasn’t cleaned well and neither was the linen, the towels stunk. Bathroom and shower weren’t very nice and quite old. Cleaning staff weren’t super welcoming but bag storage was helpful. Overall, wouldn’t stay again.

Arrived really late at night, and the people running the hotel could not have been more helpful. They helped us book a late night taxi from the airport due to ridiculous delays with Easy jet. They made sure we had a lovely breakfast the next morning at no notice. The room was just what we needed, clean and tidy, with air conditioning. I would recommend this hotel and the lovely people running it. Thank you for all your assistance.

terrific location, if you're traveling by train, lovely old house with lots of parking and luggage storage. Staff could work on their Nice. Not friendly, Not hospitable, Not patient. I would not stay here again.
