Hôtel Byakko Nice

The environment: The hotel is tiny. We arrived past 11 PM last night and were assigned to the top floor, but the room was the smallest available, with no space for luggage. It looks nothing like the pictures online. It's on par with a 100 RMB motel in China, and the bed is tiny. Cleanliness: The cleanliness is abysmal. I woke up to find the bedsheets covered in black spots—absolutely filthy. The bathroom exhaust fan was incredibly loud but ineffective. Breakfast was very mediocre, and again, the hygiene was terrible; the forks weren't even clean, which completely ruined my appetite.

Got a free room upgrade, and the breakfast was excellent too. The street was very quiet, and the view from the window and terrace was lovely.

The check-in service was excellent. The front desk had lemon water and cucumber water available for guests to quench their thirst, and they even provided sunscreen 🧴 for use when heading out. The breakfast was also good, offering great value for money. This is the first hotel I've stayed at that's offered sunscreen to guests, and Nice is starting to heat up! The azure sea is truly beautiful 😍!

Let's start with the positives: the room was very clean, everything looked new, and the 1.6m bed we booked was spacious enough for two. The view from the room's balcony was lovely. There's also a scenic balcony on the sixth floor that's accessible to all hotel guests. The hotel's location is convenient, within walking distance of Central Street, the train station, and the airport shuttle. Now for the drawbacks: the room was incredibly small; there wasn't enough space to lay out luggage. The shower stall was tiny, probably about one square meter, making it impossible to even bend over to wash my hair; I had to stand upright the whole time. All the balconies are connected, which isn't great for security. On the bright side, the front desk service and breakfast were also good.

The room was a bit small, making it hard to open our luggage. However, it was very clean, and the breakfast was fantastic. Overall, it was acceptable, maybe we just got one of the smaller rooms? On the upside, you can go straight to the rooftop for coffee and sunbathing!
