We stayed at Hôtel Apollinaire Nice for the second time, and it was every bit as wonderful as we remembered. The hotel is beautifully maintained, with comfortable, well-appointed rooms and a welcoming atmosphere throughout. Its location is excellent, within easy walking distance of restaurants, supermarkets, the beach, and many of Nice's attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the city and South of France. What truly sets this hotel apart is the staff. They are attentive, friendly, and genuinely care about their guests. We were touched that members of the team remembered our family from our previous stay, which made us feel incredibly welcome. Overall, a fantastic hotel offering comfort, convenience, and exceptional service.

A gem of a hotel. Great rooms and great service. Special mention to all the guys that helped us at front desk and Samantha who was outstanding. The rooms are a good size and location is perfect. Strongly recommend.

I stayed 3 nights in this hotel and I was very satisfied with the overall experience. The room was clean and the service at this hotel was amazing. They are very welcoming and super helpful. I definitely would recommend to others who are looking for a 4 star hotel that is affordable. Also, the location is quite good where its a 10min walk to Old nice.

The hotel is extremely clean in all areas. The place is very quiet, beds are comfortable and the breakfast is very nice. The people working in the hotel are highly professional and make you feel very welcome. We would surely come back to this hotel anytime.

Friendly staff, clean and soundproofed rooms, A location close to both the train station and the sea. I recommend it. Oh, I left my wedding ring behind when checking out and only realized I had lost it around the time of the next check-in, so I contacted them again. The staff found it for me, and I was able to get my precious ring back. Thank you so much :D

The hotel is ideally located, being almost equidistant to Nice Ville station and to the beach/old town. It's even closer to the main shopping area. Our bedroom was spotlessly clean; the air-con worked well and there were USB charging points. The buffet breakfast had ample choices, although there is no dedicated egg station. The dining area also had some outdoor seating. All the staff are friendly and helpful and always had a welcoming smile. Drinks at the bar are not cheap, but are priced as you would expect at a hotel. There are so many restaurants to choose from within a 15 minutes stroll. I thoroughly recommend the Apollinaire as a great base hotel from which to explore the Cote d'Azur.
