Hotel Busby

Staff were incredibly helpful; the night clerk, Frank, was wonderful - very accommodating and friendly. Busby Hotel is old-fashioned, which I liked a lot - went out of my way to use the steps in lieu of the elevator, because I enjoyed the marble statues on each landing and the old stained glass at the stair turns. Bathrooms were especially clean (although I'm not sure how much male guests appreciate the floral-scented body wash and soaps).

When I needed to upgrade my room to accommodate a family member, the staff made the switch very easy and quick, but one of the mattresses in the second room was soft to the point of silly. Corridors were a bit dark and wi-fi was pretty spotty, but these were minor items - I would still definitely return.

Everything. I had stayed there before and like it. Then I was back in Nice with a previous reservation at another hotel, which was awful, so I quick booked a room at Busby for the rest of my second stay.

Totally oldschool, which means the service was great. Furniture is quite old and it will depend weather you care about it or not. Staff was helpful and very polite. It's halfway between the station (bad neighbourhood) and the shopping street (much better one). The breakfast is served on the table, so being in a hurry will affect this nice experience.
