Top hotels in Old Town
Albert 1'er Hotel Nice, France
No ventilation or AC working. It was turned off. However with sun exposure during the day it got very warm in the room. Listing indicated AC was available. Good location. Price point is a little high for this hotel. Elevator needs upgrade. Long wait times. Staff are very nice.

Overall amazing experience, staff were welcoming and friendly, as well as helpful, the room was very clean and spacious with plenty of storage Including a mini fridge, we stayed as a couple but could easily suit a solo traveller or even a family, location was also ideal as it’s a short 10 min walk ...
