Le Meridien Nice Reviews

Amazing location facing the sea, next to the city center
Fairly crowded

The beach is amazing and the breakfast buffet is sooo delicious

Good location, nice rooms and fantastic rooftop bar.

Gorgeous property, stunning views! You must go up to the rooftop bar and pool area for a meal overlooking the entire beach front!

Rooms are nice, but service is French. The hotel is located across from the beach and near the old town which is nice for easy walks to lots of shopping and eating. For what you're paying, service is pretty lackluster especially by American standards. There's very little preference given to SPG GOLD/PLATINUM members, no coffee makers, air conditioning worked most of the time and there were two English language channels on the TV which was nice. We were told we were "upgraded to a city view" since we are Gold which really means you look at the building sitting 20 feet next door. We also asked for a late check out due to a 7pm flight and after asking four times someone finally said we could check out at 2pm versus the normal 12pm. Geee...thanks. Despite all those details, the hotel is fine and has a cocktail bar and restaurant on the roof with a nice view. I will likely not stay here again.

The proximity to the beach is only across the street.... perfect!!?

The stay was nice, however, nothing grand and exceptional as the name suggests

Beautiful hotel in a fabulous location overlooking the sea

Great location.
If you think hotel is connected to beach, you are wrong. It is across the street from the beach.
Hotel rooms are old and needs renovation. Which they are Already working on. The staff is very welcoming and the roof top restaurant is a must visit. Jimi was our server, he was great!

Good hotel in general, great service personnel but a bit noisy in the night because of the pipes of the heating system, and there's nothing they can do about it.

Great location, right near the old town and the beach and friendly staff. Comfortable beds and decent spread for breakfast. Had a lack of plugs in the room (2 of which 1 wasn't working) but spoke to staff and they promptly sent an extension up.

Location is great, service is good BUT it MUST be renovated rather quickly ... feels like being in a 80's place that didn't age well!

Absolutely fabulous. Perfect location. Great rooms. Wonderful rooftop bar and dining. Lovely staff.
Highly recommended

Amazing rooftop pool and restaurant. The view from there of the promenade and surrounding area are breathtaking. Very goid location for trains and bys station. Breakfast was good with a lot of choice for each nationality.

Simple no frills basic hotel. Service is acceptable but could be better. Rooms are old and is in need for upgrade.

Great location, comfortable new rooms, friendly staff, all good

Outstanding view at the terrace ! Great place to have some drinks even if a bit expensive

The food does not knock down, but the views are mad!

Best hotel experience of mine. I stayed in the top floor corner room with balcony (I think it's their most expensive room) so they may have treated me a little better. Great location, awesome view, modern room design with big windows and I love the shower! Will definitely stay their again if I can (and have the money). I originally booked a standard room but they persuaded me to upgrade and gave me a discount. After all I paid about 800 EUR for one night but absolutely no regret!

Online and phone customer service is the worst ever! In order to change my booking, I had to call 3 different numbers, send e-mails to 4 different addresses and still, noone was willing to help me. All I got was: "I don't do bookings. Call/Send an e-mail instead." By far the worst customer service that I've ever experienced in the hospitality business! 0/10 do not recommend.

Clean, with comfy beds and friendly staff. It would be nice if the hotel provided tea and coffee making facilities in their rooms and didn't make guests pay for accessing the sauna and spa given they've already paid for their rooms.

Good restaurant, but it need urgent investments for renovation.

The view is stunning from this hotel and food quality and service is exceptional, but the gym desperate needs renovation the equipment are worn out and the area is too small

Great location but could use an update of their decor

Fine hotel, a bit scary doorways but goot overall, great location!

Did I not give a review last December when I stayed at this hotel for one week? I should have. The furnishings and walls of my room were tattered and banged-up. This hotel charges enough to keep up its appearance. That said, the view from my room was fabulous. So you choose: a banged-up room with a view, or something else.

Lovely staff very helpful in ever way many thanks to Anna for all the attention that she give us if there is a problem keep up the excellent work see you all soon take care Mrs Barbara Doyle

Excellent service!!!! Beautiful view of the Promenade and the Mediterranean

Great hotel in beautiful location! Their roof top bar has amazing views and good food!

Great location. Does not live up to the Meridien name.

Great place to have a drink on the rooftop overlooking the beach.

Loved the view from the rooftop of the hotel. Hotel is nice, but not the Meridian level I was used to.

Very well appointed hotel, in a GREAT Location. Le Meridien Nice is Walking distance to All local attractions, across from the beach with direct access. Rooftop bar, restaurant, and pool.

The Good
- Great Location
- Staff was friendly, although they didn't seem to help me with the flaws I saw with the hotel
- Clean

The Bad
- Rooms are outdated. I expected more with the high rates the hotel charged
- In the basic room that has an interior facing view, you get one small window of the crummy hotel courtyard area. Not very pleasant for the price and caused me to upgrade.
- I was told that I could upgrade to an ocean room for free if I was an SPG gold member. As I'm a Ritz Carlton gold member, I knew I should be an SPG gold member as well, but there was an issue with linking the accounts that the Marriott loyalty team has still not resolved. Once I showed my Ritz gold membership after a long time on the phone with Marriott/SPG/Ritz, they offered me an upgrade to a garden/ocean view for 50/night. It was nice, but not the full ocean view, and it was not free.
- The above mentioned phone calls cost me 139. What is that like 5 a minute? Rediculous. If it was clearly posted, I would have used my cell phone for $0.20/minute.
- AC was sub-optimal. The hotel delivered a fan and had maintenance adjust the AC, which made it better by the second night.
- The gym doesn't open until 10 am and isn't open at night. Why would I want to exercise in the middle of the day on my vacation or while I'm working? This rendered it basically unusable for me.
- You are supposedly able to pair your PC with the TV, but when you search for the TV on your computer, every room has the same TV name. I tried to connect to about 10 different TVs (of a list of 40+) before giving up and just using my computer.
- Mattressses need to be replaced. They are distinctly sagging in the middle. The hotel also did not have a king sized mattress available for my wife and I, although they did offer to push the two mattresses together with one set of sheets in a way that did not have a crack in the middle.

Superb location close to everything 4 stars as rooms are a little dates

Yesterday me and my wife arrived in Nice during our sailing vacation. The nights on a sailing boat can be tough and after a while you need a real bed and a good shower with breakfast in bed... So we decided to check in here because the hotel looked very nice and it lays directly at the ocean. We enjoyed the stay here very much. The highlight was definitely the cocktail evening at the roof terrace yesterday evening. Amazing location, friendly staff and a good cocktail quality. See you again in two or three years!

View is gud , location is nice, but sometimes location hurdles because of too busy road , lost peace of mind

The location is ideal but the rooms are very old and the staff is not very friendly.

Beautiful views, great location right on the promenade. We walked everywhere in Nice. It wasn't too far from the train station, so we were able to use it as a base for traveling the Riviera. Breakfast was fantastic.

I'll start by saying this: we loved the location of this hotel. Right at the promenade, it was within walking distance to the old town, restaurants, etc. And right at the beach!

The hotel itself is nice. It looks like they just refurbished the place and we had a pretty good deal via Starwood for a suite, which means our view overlooks the riviera and it was an amazing view.

Facilities in the room we had was quite amazing. Beautiful views from the bedroom to the bathroom and a terrace that runs the whole length of the room.

The bathroom in our suite was one of the nicest I've seen.

We had room service quite often and the service was very prompt and fast.

The front desk personnel was extremely helpful and helped arrange for a tour of the French Riviera which turn out to be very good and we had a fantastic time.

The one thing to note is that our room was on the second top floor (the top floor had an amazing pool!), there's a restaurant is on the top floor and during service, noise do creep into the room, even with all the doors closed.

The hotel do have a modern feel to it which might not be for those looking for a more rustic home feel that other accommodations in the area might offer. Plus, we stayed in a suite so am not sure about the standard room. We would not be surprised if some might consider this at a more pricier range.

But ultimately, we like the central location that felt like we were in the centre of action. And there was a great view and we preferred the modern feel as well.

Very good location, friendly staff and newly renovated rooms. Good value/price hotel in Nice!

Very beautiful hotel, services is just good, but above average.

Breakfast is good and very well located, the views of the French Riviera are great

I will come back for sure!

I'm in love....the sea view and background natural wave music

I WILL NOT recommend this hotel, because:
1. Very used room, flaked off furniture in the room, flaked off and broken chairs in the buffet breakfast
2. Unclean: the toilet even has dirt that I cannot use it and I need to go to lobby to use the toilet?
3. No walk in shower, I ve never seen it, I need to take a shower in bathtub with shower curtain in a 4-Satr hotel?
4. Food not fresh: breakfast buffet salmon was not fresh

I was unwilling to take those photos to destroy my beach holiday.

Staying for 3 nights and upon the check out at the reception not telling us you have 2-day parking pass?

Nice is such a beautiful city, unfortunately I chose the wrong hotel to stay, Le Meridien Nice, NEVER AGAIN

Location is great. Rooms are clean but a bit stressed out. Not worth the 4 star hotel rating. Lacks basic services. The room is almost empty. For a 4 star hotel, you expect slippers, bathrobe, a working AC, some sound proofing, fresh and clean bathroom. None of that was available. And even worse, the public car park is right under neath the hotel. But you cant access the hotel from it, the lift is closed down for security reason. So, either climb 4-6 set of smelly stairs to get to the lobby dragging your luggage. or use public lifts to the street on the back side of the building and walk around to the lobby.
The lobby is in the first floor with limited space for crossing when people are queuing at the reception.

A bit expensive because of the name and location compared to what you actually get. But I believe this is normal in tourist city on south France beach.

I still can get better room and amenities in IBIS hotel for much lower price.

The location is great! However, the facilities could be updated. I was in an oceanview with a balcony, and while the balcony was spacious, the room itself was not. The bathroom is dated, which is surprising for such a high-end brand of hotels. The pool was closed at the end of June, which is not great if they re trying to sell their luxury amenities. Overall, I expected a lot more.

A bit too commercial for what we were after. Great view tho

Great location, friendly staff, good housekeeping service. The breakfast room was not always prepared to serve guests. The food ran out and was not replenished in a timely manner. The rooms are adequate.

Really enjoyed my stay here. The facilities are very good. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I'd definitely come back and stay here again. The view from the food top is stunning.

The location is a fantastic choice, whilst the service at the desk is of a somewhat fine standard. Meanwhile, the service at the terrace is disgustingly slow and banal. The individuals working there are extremely slow at responding to customers, and instead opt for fumbling around and discussing orders between themselves. Additionally, the main courses are terribly overcooked. The quality of the hotel itself is of quite a high standard, but the terrace restaurant drags down the perception of it as a whole. For such a nice position, it would be a fine choice to switch it out for something else, or at least consider training the staff properly or substituting them completely.

The cafe restaurant on the roof has the best views of Nice

Fantastic location. Clean, pool was nice breakfast needed porridge and more variety with cooked breakfast. No kettle in room

As a frequent traveler and someone who basically saw the most of the world as I work in tourism business I m truly shocked and deeply disappointed!
I was often staying in Le Meridien hotels all across the world and never experienced something like this!
The hotel is very dirty, the rooms dark, dirty and loud! Everything totally outaged/outworn...
The cleaning staff makes such a noise at 8 o clock in the morning that you won t be able to sleep!
The reception staff was unfriendly and not professional...
The whole quality of the hotel is equivalent of a 2 star property somewhere in Asia ( and don t get me wrong I love Asia most on the planet! - you get there this category for like max 25 Euros a night!)
I would leave in this moment if it would be possible! Unfortunately 2 more nights left here!
Avoid this place far away!

Booked the executive room that has an amazing garden and sea view but unfortunately I can t understand why they didn t provide a kettle for tea and/or coffee. When I asked about it, it was NOT complimentary with the room! Very bad idea as I can tell you that even a Bed & Breakfast room would have such complimentary stuff included!

A really great hotel very well located. When you have a room on the 8th or 9th floor you re fine or a room at the waterfront. Otherwise I think you won t have a good hotel room view. Great staff. I was very surprised that almost every service staff at the restaurant knows what it means when asking for gluten-free bread. The only thing ... the hotel could definitely need a little makeover, you will realize this when walking along to your room or partly also in your room.

It's nice hotel specially for sea face and everything

the staff Seam to be put out when asking stuff like could we have coffee in the room no was they answer the restaurant offer it will cost you 7.00

The cleaner would knock on the door at 8.00AM to see if they could clear room

The hotel really need a bit of a paint job the rooms were okay

Location
Very good

Hotel itself was great- however, was let down by the hotel. No one mentioned the swimming pool was out of order

The hotel room smelled, there was a hole in the bathroom door, paint missing off base molding and the inside of the closet had water damage and mold on the wall. The hotel refused to offer any compensation. Do not stay here. The room made me sick.

Lovely Hospitality and lovely room. Very central!! Will definitely book this again!!

I just had their "security staff" open the door yelling security and enter our room despite a DO NOT DISTURB sign on the door. My wife had just stepped out of the bathroom to get changed, I was undressed ready to go into the shower after her. She had to run and hide around the corner to avoid being seen and I had to pull on a pair of shorts. I barely got an apology from the guy as he turned away to make a call. The housekeeping ladies appeared more distraught and offered more of an apology. I'm not making this stuff up here. I've just rung reception and have demanded that the GM come and explain themselves. Of course, he/she is absent. This is completely disgraceful and unacceptable. I've now wasted another half an hour of my afternoon dealing with this. I had their head of housekeeping come up and try to blame reception for not informing them that I had requested a late checkout. Disgraceful. Own up to your actions. They only gave me until 2pm (half an hour to shower and pack). They should be ringing the room or have reception check if there were guests in the room if there was a privacy sign on the door. Instead of shifting the blame. A male security staff walked in on my room when my wife was naked and getting dressed. What more is there to say about this hotel. I am absolutely furious right now.

The rooms are very bad, the personnel is being really rude and sometimes the wifi cuts of. We had to wait for 10 minutes to get it back to work call that a 4 star hotel.

Amazing place, amazing view, coming here every year. Today we were waiting for 10 minutes just to be seated, nobody from staff paid any attention to the line of guests waiting. Waiter Jason was extremely rude and unprofessional. So sad to see such a nice place decay

Staff are thieves. The cleaners stole my adidas slides with a French flag on it.. ironic don t you think?
Bathrooms smell like s**t and the rooms are out dated. Also the staff are rude.

A little dated, gym is highly inadequate for a Marriott property.. Location of the hotel is convenient but not up to Marriott standards by any means.

Great location (across the street from the Ironman race start/finish), friendly staff, ice cold AC, great breakfast buffet in a dining/lounge room on the 2nd floor overlooking the beach (floor to ceiling windows) and lunch on the expansive rooftop was lovely too. What a view! Small pool, but it was nice to cool off there. I was concerned about the rooms needing to be refurbished from the other reviews, but it was fine.

Can t beat the location. Standard SPG quality across the board (read great service) but the rooms and bathrooms are a little old.

The hotel is in an extremely busy part of town, which may be great for some but not those looking for a calming experience in the French Riviera - think South Beach in Miami instead. The hotel entrance feels like a shopping mall with tons of people going up and down escalators. The rooms are decent but hallways seem a little rundown. Staff is friendly. The rooftop pool is a joke - don't trust the hotel's pictures. We love Starwood hotels but won't be staying here again.

Located very central, good food and enjoyed the roof terrace. Rooms were fine but not fantastic, no slippers etc.

Great local and wonderful staff ! Rooms are cute and bathrooms are wonderfully modern with rain showers !! Check out the terrace on the 9th floor ! The dinner menu is to die for!

Great view from the balcony and the terrace restaurant. Rooms are not spacious, but adequate. Easy to get to anywhere and lots of places to shop and easy within 10 min walk.

Excellent hotel,brilliant location,high prices,small fitness club
