Hotel les Cigales, Nice

Advantages: Great location, clean and comfy rooms, Pool!
Disadvantages: Weird showers, no sea views

...I’ve just returned from a holiday in Nice, where there’s approximately 300 days of sunshine a year, there are French women sunbathing topless on the beach, and you can dunk your baguette in your coffee and just sit back and watch the world go by. I went to Nice to meet up with my boyfriend after he’d been at conferences, and so we decided to have a short holiday there. I spent weeks trying to find the perfect accommodation, looking on hundreds of websites, trying to balance out cost issues, as well as trying to find somewhere in a good location, and that had good reviews by other travelers. I finally, FINALLY made a decision and booked the Hotel Splendid through hotelclub.com five days before I left.

...Hoping for a short break in the sun we opted for Nice which is a great city. The hotel was located on the main promenade , easy walking distance to all the big fashion shops and the old town. It was also a very easy bus ride from the airport, the bus stop just outside the hotel. Approx 3 euros for a bus journey considerably cheaper than a taxi! The staff were helpful, all fluent in English, the standard room was spacious, TV minibar and nice toiletries provided. The rooftop pool was a great place to relax, with a stunning view over the sea, nice comfortable sun beds, towels etc, good sun spot, as was the rooftop restaurant - excellent in terms of service and quality of food. Breakfasts were served in the restaurant inside the hotel, a buffet style inc cooked and continental foods, fruit, cereals etc etc plenty of good quality... Read review

Disadvantages: Expensive

...I won this trip through my local radio station POWER FM. and just as well it was all free as for 1 room which was basic by their standards and LUXURY by mine!!! was £290 a night! everything in the bathroom was marble and everything in the bedroom satin. The beach has its own private pool ehich looked good although we went in January so bit cold to don the bikini!!!! The minute we arrived at the hotel we had a porter bring our suitcase to the room and insisted on putting it on our bed (like in the american movies) this was a taste of the service we would recieve . The 1st evening we had dinner in the resturant which was nice but not the kind of thing im used to starter was rissoto with some cheese, and steak which was very rare!!!! This scared the bjeebaz out of me as it looked like something out of a horror film . I had... Read review
