I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Nice! The location was absolutely perfect—just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and main attractions. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The breakfast was delicious, with plenty of options to start the day right. The beds were super comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again!

Good location, close to train station and just a couple of minutes to the main commercial street.
Room was ok, not too big though.
Only 4/5 because of breakfast: for a 3 star hotel I expect more and better breakfast. Not too many choices, few items overall.

I really enjoyed my stay in Nice. I was in the individual room, it was compact but enough space for me, very clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. I quite liked the area, there were markets around and it is super close to the train station if you want to visit the other cities/beaches in Cote d'azur like Cannes and Monaco.

Our short but lovely stay in Nice.
The hotel is very close to the old town and to the central train station. The location made our life logistically very easy.
The room was very comfortable and clean.
24 hours reception service.
Although we didn’t need any breakfast we saw that they serve fresh and satisfactory food.
Ideal for business trips too. I would definitely stay again.

Decent small hotel, only 4 min walk from the train station. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to the beach and boardwalk area. Clean and friendly, has an elevator and 24/7 reception. Great for a quick stopover.

Very helpful staff, they allowed us to check in as soon as we got there which helped us out a lot! Great location if you plan on hopping on the train often. Only thing was I wish i knew how small the rooms were gonna be.

Hotel SoCo is super convenient for the railway station and its totally walkable to the centre of Nice or the promenade. The staff were so helpful and friendly, they made the stay great. The only negative is that I didn't think the breakfast was good value for the price.
