Maison Lamartine - Nice

On arrival we were welcomed warmly by Corina and our room was ready early (always a plus). Corina showed us to our studio apartment, a comfortable room with en suite shower/toilet. Plenty of storage and a kitchen area with complimentary coffee/tea (and coffee machine and kettle) and fresh bottled water. Table and chairs were provided and although not huge, the room afforded everything we needed for our stay. In the comfortable reception area there is a pool table and a football table and Corina said we could always have coffee there, if required, free of charge. Entry to building room is by a key code, useful to those of us who are prone to losing keys! The apartment building is in a great loaction for shops, restaurants and the old town near the seafront. There are food shops nearby where we bought bread and patisseries for breakfast. On that subject, there is a menu for breakfast which Corina supplied (through Whatsapp which is the useful way to contact the staff). My understanding is that you order and they will deliver at the time you choose. We did not try this option. The bed was very comfortable, room was warm and quiet so sleep was great. The windows open if required, but they have electric blinds which ensure the room is dark enough at night. The room is cleaned every three days or more if requested. Fresh towels are supplied on demand (just ask!). All in all, I think this is a great place to stay in Nice. We only stayed three nights ourselves, but could have enjoyed longer. The staff are very helpful and friendly, simply message or pop to reception where someone is on hand for the day.

The hotel was responsive on every level. Great for walking to the every need. Would come back here anytime

What a beautiful apartment in a great location. 2 minutes walk from main street, 10 minutes walk to train station and 10 minute walk to old town and beach. Super friendly staff, very clean and well equipped apartment. Oven , microwave, dishwasher, good table for eating, nice lounge. Our apartment had no balcony which was a shame, just velux windows as we were in the attic family apartment so you couldnt see very much. Also if you are tall, some of the beams are low up there. But a lovely stay, shame it wasn’t for longer and wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

We had a lovely stay at Residence Lamartine. The staff are friendly and so helpful. The apartment is beautiful. The location is walkable. We will definitely be coming back!

29 September - 7 October, 9 nights We had the most lovely, relaxed, well-cared-for stay at this hotel. The location is close to Le Gare Nice-Ville, so it’s very easy to take the train to Villefranche-sur-Mer, Monaco, and any other locations along the Côte d’Azur. Parking is at the shopping centre just a couple of blocks away where you can also find a variety of shops, groceries, patisseries, and Nicholas - the local wine merchant. In front of the shopping centre are the trams that go to Old Town and the Promenade. The neighbourhood has a variety of restaurants as well as the Monoprix where you can easily pick up some tasty antipasto, salads and seafood to bring back to the apartment. We enjoyed a very generous breakfast on the terrace downstairs that was provided and cooked by Emma and Corina. The muesli was delicious with yoghurt and strawberries. The basket of baguette, croissant, pain-au-chocolate was so nice. Scrambled eggs were so creamy, moist and delicious! Emmas adds some Herbs de Provence, Corina adds basil. Both were so good! The Lamartine apartment - I picked this one because I loved the colours in the living room (that velvet couch, gorgeous floral pillows!) , the kingsize bed (very comfortable! I can suffer back aches, but never had one here) and the little terrace we could sit on to have a drink at night after our day of touring Nice and various cities on the beautiful coast. The warm hospitality, efficient service and generous spirits that we experienced made us feel very much at home. Thanks to Julien, Emma and Corina for making our stay so memorable.
