| We only stayed for 1 night in the Trocadero, however it was an excellent location as we were getting the TGV the next morning and it is a less then5 min. walk to the station, and the airport bus also arrives at the station. There are good cafes/restaurants within a few mins. walk. |

| Location is excellent...couple minutes walk from main train station in Nice, good shopping, cafes and restaurants and within walking distance to the beach however is downtown so there can be some interesting characters around. Rooms are very small but nice and clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. We would stay there again! |

| Good location close to the Nice Ville train station - we arrived by train and also visited Monaco and Cannes so this was handy. Laundromat across the road. Nice room. 10 minute walk to the beach or city center. Breakfast OK. |

| Judging by the neighborhood, the lobby, and its relatively low-price, one can easily expect the worst from Hotel Trocadero. But all summed up, the hotel is quite acceptable. My room (single) was extremely small but cozy - nothing but a bed and a TV set, though. The bathroom – which had no bathtub, only a shower – was impressively new and clean. There was a semi-covered hole on the wall right next to the bed with water pipes and every once in a while I could hear all sort of strange (and creepy) noises in the middle of the night. Actually, I could not understand how this was possible in a room that had been recently renovated and could be almost perfect. Everything looked pretty clean, although I could spot a stain on the blanket on my last night there. The room had no special amenities like a mini-bar but had a safe which is always useful. The breakfast served (6 euro, not included in the price) is extremely poor – cereals, milk, coffee, orange juice, croissants, bread, butter and nothing more. The breakfast room is quite ugly, without natural light and with some old furniture there – like they use it as some sort of basement. Staff was very nice and helpful but I must notice that I was paying 95 euro on my last night there (super-charged Grand Prix du Monaco rate) and they didn’t allow me to keep my luggage on the hotel facilities after checking-out at 8 am. The lady kindly suggested I should keep my luggage on the train station lockers (8.5 euro rate). Trocadero is located 2 minutes away from the train station and 15/20 minutes from the Old Village/beaches. If you are planning to stay in Nice for several days maybe you should try another hotel, but if you are visiting Cote d’Azur and using Nice as a base camp and all you need is a place to crash for 7 hours, then Trocadero may be a good choice - after all, you couldn't be closer to the train station. |

| We've been here at least 4 times and each stay has been fantastic. The reception persons couldn't be nicer or more helpful and the rooms are always clean. While some rooms are smaller than others, each one has been great. We look forward each year to staying at this hotel. It is conveniently located (near the train station), safe, clean and very affordable. |

| This hotel has 3 receptionists. Two during daytime were great. The one at night was horrible, absolutely the worst altitude I have ever seen in many years of hotel stay. I will never stay there again. I strongly recommend the hotel owner to fire him if they do not want to lose more customers. |

| The cost of €95.70 per night for a single romm in a 2 star hotel was a bit much, this maybe due the fact that the grand prix was on at the same time and the prices went up. The room was very small however it was clean and this is a good thing.I was to stay 3 nights but thanks to the rail strike on the Thursday i was unable to make it from bordeaux and lost ones night cost i rang on the wednesday to explain this to the hotel but they still charged me for all 3 nights. |

| Located near the railway station, still within walking distance from the beach and down town. Very friendly, welcomming and helpful people in the reseption, made me feel at home. Clean and simple room. I will recommend Restaurant La Toscan in the same street for a friendly and good meal at a reasonable price. |

| -- Small rooms. Poor breakfast offered for 6 EUR (but you can visit Makdonalds or many other caffes nearby). ++ Free Internet is available. Close to city center and railway station (useful for travelers to Monako, Cannes, Italy...) Price could be cheaper. |

| Located near the railway station (buses from and to the airport every 30 min) and still quite quiet (Lots of traffic one or two blocks away). But we did regard two chairs in a triple room as too little. |

| A little bit shabby and a funny smell. But overall a good value, close to the train station and main street. The neighborhood seems a bit sketchy, but pretty safe since it is so busy. |

| This is the place to stay if you are looking for a spot near the train station that is welcoming and clean. The surrounding area leaves a little to be desired, but there are internet cafes across the street and the beach is only about a ten minute walk. The staff is very helpful and accomidating. For the price, you can't get any better and in fact, it will be considered the best hotel of our three week holiday. The breakfast is not free, but it does have all you need. |

| Half mile from the main train station. Had some problems checking in (had to wait for the maid who lived on the fifth floor to get back - call ahead to tell them when your coming) other than that it was a nice room with a very pretty view. It was a quick walk to all parts of florence and in a nice part of town with plenty of shops and restaurants near by. Our in suite bathroom was clean, and I noticed the shared bathroom was always clean as well. |

| The hotel is not in a very nice area, but very close to the station and to the center of Nice. It doesn't have a parking but there are parking areas nearby and you can also park in the street. Free parking at nights and weekends. Hotel was clean and the people at front desk very nice and kind. Very good quality for the price we paid! |

| Trocadero is a good, reasonably priced hotel, close to the central railway station. They offer good service. Breakfast is traditional but acceptable, not included in the room price though. It offer good relationship between price, service and comfort. We were happy with the choice. |
