Hôtel Régence

Nul et Honteux pour trois étoiles… A EVITER
je me suis rendu dans cet hôtel pour le week-​end de pâques, j’y ai passé deux nuits, accueil désagréable, ça sent la cigarette dans les couloirs, propreté de la chambre pas terrible, et le pire j’ai voulu recharger mon I phone mobile, j’ai fait sauter l’électricité, j’ai grillé mon câble, et l’hôtel 3 étoiles n’a rien voulu faire pour m’indemniser ou alors remplacer mon câble… une honte pour un 3 étoiles… A éviter ! Hôtel régence 21 rue massena c’est NUL. et pour finir le petit déjeuner j’ai demander un 2ème morceau de pain, cela m’a été refusé ! incroyable ! cette chambre 510 m’a gâchè mon séjour… j’ai changé d’hôtel… et précision l’Hôtel régence affiche 3 étoiles sur la porte ainsi que sur la facture (95 euros la chambre).

The main reason I give this hotel good reviews is that it has an excellent location in the most tourist friendly area of Nice. It’s walking distance to the old town as well as the English promenade. Plus, you can just walk directly out of the lobby to a number of touristy attractions and restaurants.
The room itself was nothing special, although large considering the location. The bathroom was also spacious and clean, which was nice. We were lucky to have a room facing the back courtyard, so it was quieter. If you were facing the main street you might have a lot of noise at night.
The down side of the hotel is that they charge for wi-​fi (3 euro/​day) and the breakfast was not good (8 euros). It was a basket of pastries with butter and jams with little more. The coffee/​chocolate was not very good, and there was no nutella (the horror!). I’d recommend breakfasting elsewhere if you stay there.
Overall, this hotel is great for it’s location and price, but lack of free wi-​fi and a decent breakfast ding it a bit.

My friends actually booked a room at this place, smack dab in the middle of all the Nice action. We headed here from the train, and were told that there were too many of us for one room … they had another room for one night, however, so we booked that for two of us.
The room was what they called a three-​person room (hence it was more expensive), but it had two beds — not sure how that computes since they also told us they can’t do rollaway beds due to regulations, or some crap like that. They seem to be strict about such things in France, all the hotels I went through in my travels weren’t very accommodating about extra people.
Anyway, the hotel itself is pretty nice, and the rooms were clean and decent. It looks tiny from the street, but it opens up inside and actually has a lot of room and a nice lobby. They gave us a room on the front side of the hotel, however, which is right on Rue Massena, a main drag for tourists. There were performers right outside our window, which was obnoxiously loud. Boo.
The next morning we went for breakfast, thinking it was included in our rate. It wasn’t. Breakfast consisted of a basket of bread with a couple mini croissants thrown in, and coffee and juices. That’s it. We found out later it was $ 6 Euro apiece. Ripoff much?
The price was great at this hotel (if you book a two person room, especially), so I would probably return, were I in Nice again. I’d definitely avoid the front of the hotel and the breakfast, however.

Excellente adresse de secours !
C’est l’histoire de 2 marseillais qui, sur un coup de tête se font un we évasion du côté de la Côte d’Azur, sans bagage et sans réservation.Iils en ont de la chance ces deux là qu’une chambre se soit libérée juste avant leur arrivée… sinon, c’était dodo-​voiture … Accueil très sympathique, chambre propre, rien à dire. Dans une rue passante, agréable. Un excellennte plan de dernière minute qui nous a épargné de l’incontournable dispute de couple en vacance …

Carré d’or et coeur de ville
La Régence a changé pour parer sa cour des plus nobles atouts, et quelle réussite ! Refait à neuf lors de la passation de pouvoir, ce «petit» hôtel de 40 chambres jouit d’un emplacement exceptionnel au coeur de Nice, un emplacement qui vaut de l’or: le Carré d’Or. Les différentes pièces ainsi que les chambres, bien que d’un style classique, sont colorées, agréables, lumineuses… Quand au personnel de la réception, difficile de croire que la Régence n’a que deux étoiles, ils et elles sont parfaits et très professionnels. Si vous venez à Nice pour mener la vie de château, inutile de passer par Chambord ou Versailles, la Régence vous tend les bras. Royal, non … In the city center, a very charming hotel with all facilities. Yours sincerely.
