A hotel of charm, wonderfully eccentric & arty, in the center of Nice. KB and I spent 4 nights & 5 days there last September, for some much needed rest and recouperation & it was perfect for what we needed.( i.e. - Centrally located, non-corporate, relaxed, and charming).
We opted for a non-artist room. Half of the rooms here boast their own unique décor, provided by well-known contemporary artists such as Ben (famous for his "message" paintings) Miguel Chevalier and Peter Fend - with a balcony & bathroom, and it was just fine.
The hotel is immaculately clean, full of beautiful objects d'art. (Décor in the reception area brings a touch of the Orient with a bed encrusted with mother-of-pearl and a gilt shrine with a seated Buddha) & (amazingly for a city center hotel) a wonderful garden with a small pool in which to cool off if necessary. The lift is rather amusing for small people, being in the style of a rocket ship, that has a 'countdown to lift off'.
We ate breakfast every morning in the garden, shaded by lemon, magnolia, & palm trees. The buffet breakfast was excellent. Simple, but quality. Fresh juices, breads, home made jams, yogurts & fruit salads, honey and strong French coffee. You can order off the menu if you fancy perfectly scrambled eggs (the best I ever had) or a plate of cheese (enough for two). One morning a table in a quiet corner of the garden was being laid with champagne and flowers, for an unsuspecting lucky lady...and the staff looked like they were just as excited as the gentleman who arranged it.
The hotel has a bar, basic gym and meditation room, and suana, the staff highly efficient in a relaxed way & never intrusive.
Fab!
Staff were brilliant, breakfast was great, never needed (or wanted) to eat breakfast out.
On returning to our room each morning, it had been miraculously cleaned and we were never bothered by the maid to see when we were going out (can't stand that!) - She must have taken notice when we left.
Internet is available near the hotel lobby, but why anyone would need it when in Nice, beats me ; )
We spent time on the private beach, lolling on comfy sunbeds under umbrellas, with big fluffy towels, being served cocktails and salad niciose and pretending we could live like that forever...Wealso explored the old town with it's red roofs, quaint streets, cafes, art galleries and charming shops.
Can't really explain why I like this hotel so much - Maybe it was our breakfast waiter gently humming 'Do You Think I'm Sexy' he he or telling us the best thing to do, was to go swimming in the sea, drunk, at midnight & just float, as the water is warmer compared to your body temperature...or maybe It's best to let Monsieur Redolfi-Strizzot explain why :
“An artist is related to an inherent reality. That’s what attracts me. In the hotel business, we’ve reached a limit where material competition is concerned. We can always add an iron, a hair dryer, of course; but it is best to enrich the human fabric.
Le Joie de Vivre?

The Hotel Crillon is a two star family run hotel situated in Rue Pastorelli just off the main shopping street, the Avenue Jean Medecin, a short walk from everywhere.
The High season rate is just 50 euro a night, which for its location is really good value. The accommodation is clean and basic, which is what you should be looking for at this price, and the neighbourhood is central, safe and secure - unlike the dodgy railway terminus area.
Parking can be organised via the Nice Etoiles a short distance away, and the joys of WiFi have just been added Leave a Comment

Helpful on the phone when phoning from London I okayed myself to stay at this place as a base as I was told it was a fairly quiet time despite being the time of the Nice Carnival and that I wouldnt need to prebook. This was still the same message when I phoned from out of town for the night I was wanting to stay - and I still ended up with a room to myself by nights that I stayed.
After paying 42 euro for the first nights accommodation, at Castellane, I decided that paying only 21 euro with a decent breakfast included and free parking around the streets over the weekend, that this was the best deal for me - stay both nights and keep it as a base and for the morning of departure Id also be nearby with only a short drive to the airport.
The hostel is in like a large mansion house but fairly new interior. The reception area is light and roomy and clean - 24 hours - and includes a bar where you can have a beer or tea or coffee.
Seating area to hang around, use the internet and so on.
My room was for 4 people comprising 2 bunks but I luckily had the whole room to myself. Theres a shower in the room with door (the hostel in Paris had no doors - privacy not required there!) and a sink.
Good locker space and small amount of wardrobe hanging space. Toilets handy just out the door.
Windows open to the balconies which make it nice to be able to peer at your views of the street and surrounding neighbourhood. Large Norfolk pine out my window was nice.

This is absolutely the best way to get the real vibe of a place, and generally (especially in this case) much less expensive than a hotel. We had a studio apartment in Old Nice,with a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, double bed plus double sofa bed, a hallway with tons of closet space, and lots of room and most importantly, atmosphere.
Walking into the marble entry, with our bags of fresh veggies, pate, cheese, wine and baguettes really gave the feeling of being part of the old town.

We paid about $60 a nite for the two of us.
Rooms full of color and character, each one different. Good amount of street parking (free). Right in the heart of quaint Cap Ferrat. Walking distance to - well - any and everything on the Cap. A proper swimming beach is a 5 minutes stones throw.
