Great location and so close to the beach. The GM who checked me in was one of the nicest humans I have ever met. He was so helpful with any questions and recommendations. I was going to the Monte Carlo Grand Prix and he even gave me ear plugs. He is what made this stay a 5 star.
Great location. Easy walk to tram to get around to places and also to the promenade! Water available for refill in the lobby and also a coffee machine

Stayed here for 5 nights whilst visiting my son. Room was excellent with a small cooking area (two ring hob, microwave, fridge and coffee machine - coffee pods topped up every day). Very comfy bed. Location is excellent, about 5 minutes walk from the nearest tram stop, around 10 minutes to the city centre and 5 minutes to the sea front. Staff extremely helpful and welcoming. Will definitely stay here again.
Would recommend to anyone- we stayed in room 406 with balcony. It was even better and bigger than the pictures. So convenient. Free sparkling water in the lobby. So much space- great value. Sunny balcony. 2 blocks to the beach. Trash trucks do pick up at night so bring your noise machine- but that’s any city. LOVE that they even have the towel warmer rack in the bathroom.

The staff at reception were some of the friendliness and most helpful you will ever find. The hotel is in a perfect location, 2 mins from the Prom, 5 mins from a tram station and surrounded by great restaurants. The room was very comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Liliana who worked at the reseption was widely rude and disrespectful and unpolite. She wasnt solution driven and neither happy to help! Just terrible! This brings the whole hotels environment down and totally made our stay for the worse.
On the other hand, Mona really strived at reception and made our stay pleasant. Our best regards to her!

This is the second year consecutively staying for a whole week at this excellent Jay Hotel.
Due to the great management especially Mrs. Liliana and her staff which really spoiled us we had a wonderful vacation and a great stay in Nice for the second time.
We consider Jay Hotel as our Home in Nice from now.
We hope to return back as soon.
