Hôtel Ellington****, Nice Reviews

Beautiful facility, really welcoming staff. Spacious and clean rooms. I also recommend the buffet breakfast, excellent for quality and choice.

The hotel's lobby is very tiny but the staffs are really friendly. I love its lovely patio and its elegant breakfast room. Breakfast is simple but as long as there're fresh fruits, breads, pastries, egg, cheese, tea & coffee and there's even porridge ... well those are enough.

I love the room: spacious, clean and classic.Free wifi and speedy. Great location, only 5 minutes walk to Place Massena.

Good bedding, room with old-fashioned but spacious decor, full breakfast buffet. Well located quietly near the center.

For location this hotel is really great. The city shopping is 3 minutes away. The old town and promenade is also just a 5 minutes walk. If you don't mind the quaint charm of an old building you will overlook the small elevators, AC which doesn't work great and a cramped ambiance. The morning breakfast has a great selection of food and will satisfy even a gourmet.

Absolutely Fantastic! Lovely cosy hotel with '40s style, yet modern amenities. Perfect location for seeing the "old town", getting to the beach, the Marina or Place Garibaldi. The staff were totally amazing! Friendly, polite, professional and exemplify customer service! The breakfasts are soooo good! So much selection, and every bit tastes great. Got back Yesterday and I'm missing the place already. Can't wait to go back. 100% Recommend!

Hotel 4 * Very clean and cozy. Excellent geographical location.

A hotel that feels old history in the good sense of Europe!

Elegant lovely Hotel friendly staff and a short walk to all the sights in Nice.

Lovely little hotel in Nice. Very pleasant base for excursions to other attractions in Nice.

Sad is the word that comes to me to describe the place. And in addition we did not see a server so we went elsewhere.

A nice address in Nice near the Promenade des Anglais and the flower market

Had a great stay, friendly staff, great breakfast. I definitely will come back. It s also well situated for people who love going shopping, tan on the beaches, or go for a drink/ dinner in old Nice.

Very friendly staff at the front desk. Our room was one of the smaller ones; traditional style which we liked. Yet we have seen better bathrooms. Breakfast was basic, but ok. Using the valet parking service was a good idea as parking spaces are very limited.

Reception and information when booking very well, on arrival we were upgraded. On the spot very professional evening staff in being intrusive. Nice surprise in the morning at the hotel terrace +++. The breakfast will be improved.

Very nice hotel. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fantastic breakfast and very well located.

The furthest thing from a 4 star hotel I have seen...rooms are smelly and tiny and the air conditioning didn't work in ours. While I was checking in there was a lady at the front desk who got her luggage stolen from her room. I have stayed at hostels better than this.

Very well placed, nice hotel with a very nice patio. By cons room more than average and frankly I do not understand too the 4 stars .. staff not very friendly

I can only express my opinion on the brasserie part, three places side by side to syrup a cocktail, three atmosphere, the bar, the lounge, the terrace inside the hotel, a very pretty cocoon, nice map very good tapas for a business meal, a date with lovers or Jazz lovers

The hotel is located very close to the city center and shopping mall, a little outdated, needs some renovation and upgrade

Very good location. Short walk to shops supermarkets, old city and promenade. Since its not a new hotels you have to expect minor quirks. The hotel breakfast is very good and has a decent selection including gourmet teas.

comfortable very pro staff good location well attended ok price valet

Welcome, very nice room, tastefully decorated. Excellent breakfast. Very pleasant jazz lounge bar. Have a good stay.

Staying at this hotel as I write. booked via Secret Escapes, thought it would be a nice place to spend my husband's Birthday, Location good, breakfast good, terrace nice and relaxing. Staff very friendly.
Now for the BAD. Supposed to have a Deluxe Room, which is on the front the hotel, very busy and noisy. Have to have window open for air. Bed very hard. very small shallow wardrobe not deep enough to hang our clothes up. 1 door fell off when we tried to open it on arrival. Aircon not very good. Bedroom furniture looks very cheap. Bathroom very very small. Not at all what we were expecting for a 4* hotel. OK, we got a last minute deal, but a Deluxe room would be the same for whatever you paid for it.

Cosy hotel in Nice, walking distance from shopping area

Central, nice, typically French hotel. Friendly staff.

Friendly reception staff, good location, an average breakfast, cheap happy hour but the rest is poor. Old tired rooms that smell. A bar that closes at 10.30pm on a Saturday.

Disappointing, very cold bar, and especially nothing to accompany our 2 glasses of champagne, not even some olives, finally at our request we had some crummy chips, saying it's a 4 star, I would not recommend.

My hubby and I stayed between 12 and 19 May 2018. A lovely hotel situated centrally. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel bar has happy hour between 5 and 8pm with 30% discount, and the lady tending the bar (on some evenings) was extremely efficient, runs a tight ship and makes a great Kir, so well worth a visit (or three!)
The only negative for me was there was never any Jazz music playing in the Jazz-themed bar!! We have already discussed returning to Nice (we sadly missed Cannes because of the film festival) and staying at the Ellington again.

Staff not very good at advising restaurants, a march of progress to rethink

Somehow there is no restaurant for dinner Well there is a lot of restaurants in the neighborhood but I have trouble with supermarkets and department stores but it's convenient, but there is a coin launderette right after that so I wanted to do the laundry everyday because it was hot every day I wanted to know early

Attentive, exquisite staff, breakfasts with fresh and well presented food. Try it !!

5 starts for the location. We were so close to everything. The room was ok, the breakfast was ok for the price that we paid: good coffe, good pastry products. Nice and friendly staff!

Staff are nice and friendly. The rooms aren't any to write home about though. Surprisingly unremarkable considering how much of Impression the lobby makes.

Very nice hotel with its interior courtyard, dedicated to Elligton, near the Nice Etoile car park and its shopping center with superb photos, the downside is to order a tea and end up with a herbal tea in a small cup, at a high price

Excellent, friendly staff and clean rooms. Breakfast at prices a little high but in line with the standards of the area

Nice little Hotel a short walk from the City centre. Has a nice courtyard for Breakfast and drinks

The hotel is pretty close to the central parts of the city, hotel rooms were clean and tidy, the view from our room was nice.

Central location, good price, vallet service and clean rooms.
But the rooms need some repair, i wish for next time nobody is going to stuck in bathroom.

I loved very comfortable and very good location in a residential area very close to everything with a lovely terrace where we took the very good dessyuno by the way lovely staff

Nice hotel in the center of Nice. Very correct and cozy. Great service

Very pleasant stay. Hotel very well located and in perfect adequacy with our expectations. Staff helpful and attentive.
To recommend without hesitation.

Nice people, small rooms. Toilet is nearly not usable in Room 406. Inside yard is nice to sit and have a beer or dinner.

It does not deserve visiting narrow rooms promises not kept high paid not worthy

Lovely hotel, staff were really friendly and the rooms were lovely. Breakfast was delicious!

A good Hotel ... but we are not on the 4 stars.
I would say a good 3-star hotel.

The location is good, close to shops and restaurants. The attendants are quite attentive.

Relatively affordable prices, a very good welcome, and above all this magnificent setting. An address to know!

Quiet, small but comfortable room. Great bed. Close to centre of shopping and old town. The pick of hotels in this area.

Great little hotel with a nice character and amazing location to old town and the sea front.

Room was pleasant enough with nice views but was so hot it was almost unbearable at night as air con did not work.

Saying that the hotel staff were great, the bar at night was a good place for a drink a d breakfast was super tasty with plenty of choice.

Overall we loved our stay here and would have probably gone 5* was the room a bit more comfortable to sleep.

Great hotel, took our luggage up to the room and service was lovely. Happy hour in the bar in the evenings, cocktails hit or miss depending on the server. Bed was comfy and I had a great and peaceful sleep. Would recommend!

The staff are lovely, downstairs is beautiful but that's where it ends sadly. The room is more of a 2 star, very basic, no drawers, the sliding wardrobe doors didn't fit.
The air con didn't work so we opened the window through the night and woke up to at least 50 mosquito bites each. We were only there 3 nights but would have been more disappointed if it had been longer. Loved the city itself though.

Fine boutique hotel. Cozy for family travel. Our stay there was very pleasant.

This was a well earned holiday, and this central location was ideal. Within easy reach of the local restaurants Ang high street shops. Also only 15 minutes walk to the beach.

Booked through Jet2, lovely hotel, good amenities close to the tram route and beach. Walk to the old town, about 15 minutes walk. Where you will find flower market, and plenty of cafes and bars for good food. Street acrobats provide good entertainment, beach close by. Only one fault, the so called ''jazz bar' didn't play jazz music. Only some contemporary stuff with that incessent back beat. Come on, put some Zaz and the older jazz music on the sound system.

Stayed for 2 nights, beds were comfy and room was suitable

Very friendly staff, good location 10 minutes from the beach.

This hotel is in s fairly good location, central to the train station and beach. The bedrooms are functional, but not spacious but clean. The only true letdowns in the room was the over the bath shower and one of the mattresses was uncomfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very good and very reasonable. If you pay at the hotel, it's only ten Euros per person per night which is much better value than paying in advance.

Really great hotel, some of the rooms are really small but clean and tidy and the staff are very welcoming. We were very hot at night and left the window open, big mistake as we were eaten alive by mosketos. You can ask for a fan for your bedroom and the staff will get one for you. The breakfast was good and fresh, I think they swap meats on alternative days so bacon on one then sausages on the other but on the whole it was good. They have a happy hour which the wine goes down to about 4.5 euros and it is a nice one. You also get free crisps if you ask for them which is a nice touch. Overall we enjoyed the stay here and would stay again.

Good breakfast, good location next to the beach, and good Wi-Fi. Great for a quick rest.

Very rude staff. Firstly I was directed to the wrong floor when I checked in. Then when we wanted to call the car rental company and asked the staff at the front desk to help us, Barbara said to my wife why can t you call Europcar yourself ! Absolutely substandard in my opinion. When a junior staff member on the front desk then tried to help my wife, his manager shouted at him and told him off.

The rooms are ok, belie usual 4* standards, but this is Nice (so the city is generally a bit run down)

In my opinion this has the worst hotel staff of any 4* hotel I have stayed at (there have been many across Europe and the US)

We were greeted very appropriately. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Everything is clean, the breakfast is amazing.
Only downside, the size of the rooms. Much too small for a 4 *

Excellent location to get around Nice , friendly helpful staff , room fine , bed ok hence 4 not 5 star.

It is convenient because you can go to the sea or Massena Square within walking distance. The hotel was cute and the staff were friendly and the room was spacious so it was comfortable.

Lovely hotel. Very polite staff and nice room. Lovely bar area. Breakfast was very nice. Located in a very good area close to shops and only a 10 minute walk to the beach. Stayed here for my wife's pre 50th birthday. Will gladly stay here again. Tres Bien!

spacious. comfortable. conveniently located to Nice beach and night life.

Perfect nice personality, and everything is with good taste..
