Holiday Inn Nice - Saint Laurent Du Var, an IHG Hotel

Important Safety Warning: DO NOT LOCK THE TOILET DOOR Pros: • Great Location: Well-situated for exploring the area. • Free Shuttle Service: A convenient perk for airport transfers. • Spacious Rooms: Comfortable and roomy for a relaxing stay. • Wide Breakfast Selection: Plenty of options to suit different tastes. • Excellent Service: The staff was attentive and went out of their way to assist us. Cons: • Aging Facilities: The hotel is showing signs of wear and tear. • Poor Window Insulation: Cold air seeped in at night, but the staff promptly provided a portable Honeywell heater, which helped. Important Safety Warning: DO NOT LOCK THE TOILET DOOR A serious safety issue occurred when my friend got locked inside the toilet (which is in a separate room from the bathroom). The door wouldn’t open, and we had to call the reception for help. Fortunately, I was in the room with her! Shockingly, the staff mentioned that this had happened before, with a previous guest screaming for help until a neighbor intervened. After firmly addressing the issue, the hotel assured us that they had ordered a new lock system for the entire property. As an apology, they also offered us a fruit plate and a souvenir, which we appreciated. However, I believe it’s important to highlight this issue for future guests. Final Verdict: While the service was excellent, and the hotel handled our concerns well, the safety issue with the toilet lock is something potential guests should be aware of. If insulation and safety are a priority, you might want to wait until the renovations are complete. Otherwise, the service and hospitality were top-notch, making it a decent choice for a stay in Nice.

Good for transit stay for 2-3 days and it’s easy to travel to any direction from the hotel by train (railway station is in 10 minutes by walk from the hotel), direct access to the sea which is also nice, in 5 minutes by walk from one of the biggest shopping malls Cap 3000

The room is spacious, up to date decor with a spectacular sea view room. They provide Nespresso coffee dispenser (2 free capsules) per day. Coin laundry is within 5 mins walking distance. Lots of eateries nearby. Private car park garage is a bit difficult to find, €10/night. Alternatively, there is also a lot of meter parking available. I would definitely come back if I visit Nice again. Only downside is our bathtub had a leak and after each short shower, the floor got wet. Since we only stay for 2 nights, we did not bother to ask for another room.

Location is very good, near to airport as well as to the beach. Shopping center and bus station also within walking distance. Great!!

Nice area with a broadwalk. Got potential...

Service was reasonable. Unfortunately, the private beach closed pretty early.
