HOTEL APARTHOTEL AMMI NICE LAFAYETTE, Nice

The hotel sits 100 metres from the pedestrianised Jean Médecin avenue, 250 metres from Promenade du Paillon park and 500 metres from the Old Town. The beach is 5 minutes on foot, and tram lines 1 and 2 are a two-minute walk away - line 2 connects directly to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (7 km) and Nice-Ville Train Station (1 km, 15 minutes on foot or 8 minutes by tram). Several restaurants, bars and shops are immediately surrounding the hotel, and the Galeries Lafayette department store is adjacent. The area is lively yet the hotel sits on a quiet side street, offering a calm base for exploring the city centre without needing any transport.

All studios are air-conditioned and feature soundproof walls, a flat-screen TV with streaming services including Netflix, a minibar, tea and coffee making facilities, a desk and a safety deposit box. The private bathroom includes either a bathtub or shower, hairdryer and free toiletries. Each studio has a well-equipped kitchenette with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave and cookware. Bed configurations are a double bed with a sofa bed, or two single beds upon request. Some studios have a balcony - options include city views or quieter inner-courtyard views. The rooms are decorated in a modern, art-deco style and are noted for being spacious, clean and comfortable. Street-facing rooms can occasionally hear traffic late at night, while courtyard-facing rooms are consistently quiet. The property has only 19 rooms, allowing for attentive service.
