The Aston Nice certainly has seen better days already. It seemed to us very "worn out". The pool unfortunately (or fortunately for further guests) was under construction. We thought we should have been informed about that before our booking (eg on homepage), as this was one of the main reasons to book it.We did not book breakfast but took it one time to give it a try. For that price (18 EUR) this was by far the worst breakfast I have ever seen in a 4 to 5* hotel But ok, I need to admit that Nizze in general is very expensive for food. But you can get at least same quality breakfast just 5 Meters outside the hotel in one of the bistros and even you can sit in the sun and not in sum "dark", old styled hotel-breakfast-room.The lift is dramatically slow and narrow - could also need some refurbishment.We had a room on the 6th floor that are said to be the better ones and renovated. Well, the room was not so bad, but do not expect too much. It is OK, nothing more. For sure it could be a bit cleaner, and the spoons of the coffee/tea facility could be cleaned daily.Positive is the location of the hotel. You can reach all parts of the town very quickly by walking. Also a bus to the airport (nr 98) stops almost in fornt of.People actually were nice and friendly - also not too tipical for the rest of our experiences at Cote d'Azure.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by a construction site right across from the hotel. This was the first sign. We then waited at reception behind another guest complaining about plaster chips on his carpet. This was the second sign. Having just driven 7 hours to get to Nice, I was willing to brush it off just so I could shower. The room was in a state of complete disrepair - mouldy walls, broken ceiling and ZERO water pressure. So much for that shower - third strike. We complained and got moved to a "Renovated" room, as opposed to our "classic" room. They wanted another ¿¿¿60, making it a round ¿¿¿200 for the room in the picture on the website advertised for ¿¿¿140. Spend your money elsewhere fellow travelers.

Stayed in a superior room (634) for 3 nights as part of a package for the Monaco Grand Prix. Room fine (other then the bed being two singles pushed together), bathroom very nice with a wonderful 'rain' shower as well as another shower over the bath. Glad we had a room at the back of the hotel as the civic improvement works are still going on at the front (due to complete in September we were told). Bar on 7th floor very pleasant with great views towards the old town and the sea - outside balcony or indoor seating. Swimming pool closed for refurbishment so couldn't go onto the roof. Excellent spread for the buffet breakfast although the coffee is not the best. 10/10 for location - old town and its amazing bars and restaurants 3 minutes walk away; also very close to Place Massena and the trams. We would definitely stay again.

My wife and I stayed one night in the Grand Hotel Aston at the end of a tour of southern France. Our room was large and comfortable but the ceiling of the bathroom showed major water damage from above and it was clear from the writing on the wall that they were in the process of fixing it and the walls.The room was clean and the king bed was very comfortable.The breakfast offerings were extensive and well presented.This hotel is in a great location and once the construction of the park across the street is completed in June it will even be better.I felt a bit of sticker shock when we were charged 3.20 Euro (a little over 4.00 US) for local phone call that did not go through.

We decided to have a short break in Nice again and thought we'd try the Aston hotel this time as it's close to the square / beach etc. We arrived about 11.00 o'clock but couldn't get into the room until 3pm, which wasn't a good start and no offer the change elsewhere. When we did got back to check in, we were given room 308. Don't even entertain this room. I know we booked last minute and the Grand Prix was only a couple of weekends away plus we're English but we walked in and straight back out. We told them this wasn't good enough and we're given room 318 - No questions asked. All I can say is chalk & cheese. Looking back though, I wished I'd been alittle stronger and demanded a much better room as I think they were taking the "Micheal" with the original room in the first place. We never asked for anything else after that. Rates were quite reasonable for the time - Weather was good - thankfully - Also main point of interest - If you do go for the Aston - Take the bus rather than a taxi. We took a Taxi from the airport - 15 minutes - 40 Euro's. The bus passes straight outside the Aston on the way back (One way) for 6 Euro's each. Love Nice but would stay elsewhere on our next visit. Also They're doing something with the gardens in front of of the Hotel - so a bit of a buidling site at the moment - Didn't bother us, even though we were on the front and will look great as usual when finished - Unless its another hotel!
