Hôtel Du Pin Nice Port

This hotel is a bit of a gem! Typically French small rooms, not fancy, but nicely appointed. The beds are great, the hotel clean and the desk attendants knowledgeable and kind. The prices can’t be beat, and the location is excellent (easy stroll to the tram, excellent restaurants and cafes all around.

Having just spent 16 nights at this hotel, I understand the positive reviews. In its price category, this hotel deserves 5 stars. Our Privilege room was clean and comfortable with tv, free wi fi, air conditioning, small bar fridge that we stocked with drinks from nearby grocery stores, hair dryer and coffee machine with pods. Our windows opened over busy restaurants below but when closed muted the sounds so we could get a good nights sleep. Reception also had free filtered water that we filled our bottles with. Breakfast downstairs was included, ample and consistent. However, what made this hotel an instant 5 star favourite was two important things - 1. The location. Walking distance to fabulous restaurants, cafes, laundromat, boulangeries, old Nice, markets, Colline du Chateau (Castle Hill), the Port, photography museum, public transport to historic towns and much more. 2. The staff. No matter the hour, the front desk staff were always warm and welcoming to us. The hard working cleaners kept our room impeccable. Thank you. The breakfast team at Foam (also a micro brewery) kept a constant eye on the breakfast bar, re filling and promptly clearing tables so that no matter what time you arrived for breakfast, you didn't miss out on anything. Though my husband appreciated everything from the yoghurt, cereal and fruit, to the eggs, little sausages, croissants and pain au chocolate, my absolute bliss was simply a coffee (or three), a chunk of warm baguette with butter and apricot jam and a good book, by the window overlooking the beautiful streets of Nice. Absolute bliss 🥰 Thank you for our stay. Highly recommend,

Rooms have everything you need to feel comfortable, matching well the price of around €100 per night. The beds are very comfortable, and the space is adequate for short stays. Excellent location with plenty of restaurants right outside the hotel. The breakfast option is a nice touch, available from 6:30 to 10 a.m., and the staff is friendly and helpful. Perfect for a weekend stay!

This place was an absolute disgrace. The staff were rude, careless, and completely unprofessional. The hotel and the room were filthy, old, and disgusting. There was no water, no slippers, and none of the most basic amenities (like a toothbrush or cotton pads). The room was tiny, smelled terrible, and felt unbearable. Breakfast was poor, extremely limited, and tasteless. Even the towels they gave us were dirty and stained. I cannot understand how such a place can call itself a hotel. Do not trust the positive reviews — they are misleading. Save your money and avoid this place at all costs. It was a total nightmare.

Visited Nice for a long weekend, a lovely place in general! The hotel was good for what we needed although the rooms are very small but we weren’t in them that much. Located close to bars and restaurants, anout a 10/15min walk to the main beach front and promenade where the better restaurants are located.

I do not recommend this hotel at all. Please, please don’t waste your money here I already made that mistake, and you shouldn’t. The room I was given was tiny, far smaller than expected, and the bed *the only main feature* was filthy. The sheets, headboard, and sides of the bed were covered in dirt and stains. I have photographs as proof. When I raised the issue with the receptionist and asked for an upgrade, I was told there were no other rooms. I requested a refund and was told to email the manager, but received no reply. Instead, I later received an email from the hotel effectively calling me a liar. I also contacted Booking.com and still no resolution from the hotel. We had to leave immediately and book another hotel late at night at double the cost, causing huge stress and inconvenience. The lack of cleanliness, poor customer service, and refusal to take responsibility are completely unacceptable. Save yourself the trouble there are far better hotels for your money.

We went to Nice for 5 days, rooms were not too big, but overall it was okay, ideal for shorter stays. The location was perfect, however noise from outside could be sensible before midnight. The breakfast was great, we loved it, and you can also sit outside which is a good thing in the morning. I recommend this place.

Good Hotel with absolutely excellent Location, but very small and simple rooms, Not even much space for your luggage. Rooms are a bit used. Hot water and aircon work. Noise isolation ist so-so. Cleaning Crew and Front desk is very good. Here are Suggestions for improvements: Better Coffee in breakfast are. This is Just Bad Instant Coffee. Come on, this is Basic stuff. Just buy a Machine with real Coffee. This was the worst part of my vacation 😞 Repair lights and Clean things in the breakfast area, remove spiderwebs etc. Remove whatever smells in the Elevator. Mark emergency exits better. We Had to evacuate due to a false Alarm, and the exits are Not marked well. When renovating the next time choose better colors especially in the hallways, the Hotel does Not Look very beautiful inside.
