Hôtel Solara

A friend made a booked on June 7, at 6:43 pm, for June 8, 9 and 10. Shortly after, he was informed of a medical family situation and had to request cancellation. Furthermore, Booking.com submitted a cancellation fee waiver. Long story short, he canceled his booking by mistake, because he's new to Booking.com process, and the hotel manager/owner refused to reinstatement his booking or give him any refund. FYI, the room was booked for all three nights and there was no vacancy available. When Booking.com and he learned that and faced the hotel management, they offered a partial refund. What does that say about this hotel? I'll leave that to you. But remember, unforeseen circumstances are very common and in happens to everyone. Hence, do you want to book in a hotel where the management is not willing to show any understanding?

I had a wonderful stay in this lovely place. Everything was perfect, the room, location, service. Thanks to Galina and Jean-Louis the hotel has its special and warm atmosphere making you feel like home. I will definitely return there next time, hopefully soon. Thank you.

Excellent location right in the centre and moments from the beach but still quiet. Rooms are a bit basic but clean and our double room had a great little balcony. People on reception are really friendly and helpful and will store your bags. The lift is tiny as other people have said. We preferred to walk the five flights of stairs! Would definitely stay here again if back in Nice as it's great value for money for where it is located.

The hotel’s location on Nice’s main street was really convenient. Just a heads-up, though: it can get quite noisy late at night if you’re sensitive to that. It’s also a safe area with plenty of people around, which made me feel secure walking back late at night. Plus, it’s just a short stroll to the beach. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

En vaskeægte perle - a hidden gem! Beautiful rooms, great breakfast and the kindest staff and owner. We will be back!

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. Jean's warm welcome made my first visit memorable; he even provided a map highlighting all the must-see spots. The hotel's prime location in the city centre not far from Nice Ville station allowed me to explore effortlessly. Plus, it’s close to top-notch eateries. I ate at Le Grand Cafe for breakfast and Rina for dinner. Both were great and added an extra layer of convenience and delight to my trip. The room itself was great - I booked the double with balcony. Quite a large balcony, decent bathroom and room size. Highly recommended * The reception is open until noon in the morning. If you arrive by 12 o'clock they should be able to look after your luggage if you message and ask.* *Once at the airport there is Tram Line 2 to get to the city center. I got a return ticket for £10 which got me there and back for my flights. The nearest stop to the hotel is "Jean Médecin". Then it is a 6-minute walk.*

POSITIVES: Great location, room was small but clean and owner pleasant NEGATIVES: Balcony was lovely except for the dead fruit tree in the corner. Shower head broken; glass cosmetic tray under bathroom mirror ready to fall off; curtain rod not secured properly so kept falling down when curtain was pulled. Asked for a second hand towel twice which we never got and then the morning of our departure no hot water! Also not convenient that you are unable to check in or even leave your bags between 12:00 - 14:00. Will not stay here again.

I enjoyed staying in Hotel Solara. This is a budget friendly 2 star hotel and right in the city centre of Nice, so it has amazing location for tourists. Obviously the room amenities were limited as it was a budget hotel. But it would be enough you only intend to explore the area during the day and stay in the room to sleep only. Good Internet connection, a small refrigerator and a TV included as well. And the staff was extremely polite and attentive. I bought 9 eur breakfast from them and they punctually brought it to my room at the time I requested them. Also explained me the public transportation system and the main sightseeing places around Nice. So for this price range I would definitely book there again.
