Albert 1er Reviews

Not bad. It's pretty close to the beach, and breakfast was decent, though it could use a bit more variety. The staff were also good, and the room facilities were great. Definitely recommend!

This was a stylish hotel, and I had a very comfortable stay! Unlike in Japan, amenities like bathrobes, loungewear, and slippers weren't provided. However, I was grateful that the hand soap, body lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were all L'Occitane products. The power outlets require you to push the plug firmly all the way in. I brought two types of adapters, but one of them didn't work with these outlets. There was a water dispenser in the hallway, which was really helpful for refilling my water bottle. The cleaning staff were very kind and flexible, for example, they were able to just exchange the towels when I requested it. The location was very convenient, with a bus stop right in front, a tram station nearby, and easy access to the ocean!

The room was a bit small, but very clean. The front desk staff were super friendly and even offered us a map of nearby attractions, explaining their recommendations. Housekeeping was proactive, and the location was fantastic – really close to the beach and shopping, with a nice little park right next door.

The hotel is great, located in the Old Town of Nice, very close to the beach – just a two or three-minute walk away. It's quite convenient for getting to nearby attractions, and there's a bus stop right outside. You can take a direct bus from the airport right to the hotel entrance. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to Nice Ville train station, making it easy to get around. I even got up early to watch the sunrise by the sea! I'd definitely choose to stay here again if I have the chance.

Unexpectedly, the room was clean and the entire place felt new. The balcony view was really nice. The location is convenient, with a bus stop right downstairs. It's very close to the beach, the square, and the old town. It was a great experience overall.

Good place for a fuss free hotel near the waterfront. Option to upgrade to rooms with balcony but ones without work just fine. Space is a bit tight but nothing to complain about give the price that we paid. Just be careful not to overload the lift or you’ll get stuck!

Location right next to the beach, clean, cosy and friendly staff, highly recommend!

The soundproofing in the room was practically non-existent, which is often the case in tourist cities, so I can't really fault them too much for that. However, based solely on the room itself, it definitely wasn't worth the price. On the plus side, it's very close to the beach, and there's a park right downstairs. The front desk staff spoke good English.

I would like to especially thank Hajar, a female staff member from Monaco. She provided excellent service during my stay and kindly assisted me with a room upgrade, which made my experience even more comfortable and enjoyable. Her professionalism and warm attitude left a very positive impression on me.

The hotel was okay, but the breakfast wasn't very good. Also, there's no fridge in the room, so you have to go down to the front desk to get ice.

The room matched the pictures perfectly. It had air conditioning and an elevator, and the location was excellent. The front desk staff spoke English and the service was good. Overall, it met my expectations.

We stayed at Hotel Albert 1er for six nights in June 2026. The location is excellent — close to the beach and an easy base for exploring, if a moderate walk from Nice-Ville station. On that front, I’d happily stay in the same area again. Unfortunately, the hotel itself fell short. The lift was out of service on arrival, and the lobby was under refurbishment for the duration — neither of which we’d been told about beforehand. Access was via a temporary side entrance surrounded by hoarding. The room was the bigger issue. Street noise was loud enough to disrupt sleep, the bathroom had no ventilation and steamed up within a minute, and the shower base leaked, leaving the floor permanently wet. We reported the leak on day one and were told it would be fixed the next day; it never was. The room also lacked basics we’d expect at this price — no coffee facilities, robes, or adequate storage — and the sink drained poorly and had loose, failing caulking. The TVs blocked streaming apps, and satellite channels were French-only with no subtitles. Breakfast didn’t justify the cost: buffet-only with no table service, and food quality was poor — the scrambled eggs left both of us feeling unwell, and we found hair on the pastries one morning. The staff were pleasant throughout. But the overall experience felt like a hotel refurbished to a budget rather than to its guests’ benefit — noticeably below the standard of every other hotel we stayed at along the Riviera. On value, I couldn’t recommend it, and there are plenty of better-run options nearby.

We had a wonderful stay here and would definitely recommend it. The hotel was spotless, and everything felt clean and well maintained. The 24-hour reception was incredibly convenient, especially when arriving back late. One feature we really appreciated was the free filtered cold drinking water station—it was a huge plus, especially during the hot weather, and saved us from constantly buying bottled water. The location was also excellent, making it easy to get around and explore Nice. Housekeeping did a fantastic job keeping the room clean each day. The only minor downside was that the air conditioning wasn't very strong, so the room could get a little warm. Aside from that, we had a great experience and would happily stay here again.

This hotel has an excellent location and the facilities are quite new. No issues at all, highly recommend!
