It`s a nice place to stay. Very near the train station (2 min) and just 15 min walk to the beach. I payed for a dorm, but had a twin room to myself because it`s offseason now. Breakfast was OK, but not great. The only real problem was that the wi-fi didn't work in my room, had to use it in the corridor.

I can't actually rate the antares hostel as we were moved to nother hostel due to over booking. the hostel connected was average, wouldnt reccommend staying there for more than a couple of nights. Friends of mine stayed elsewhere (beachside) for the same price and raved about it so it's defintiely not the best. Wouldn't reccommend it for sociaising either.

The staff here are super nice. The breakfast they serve is good. They give you a choice of a beverage (coffee, tea, hot chocolate...), fresh bread and croissant (with butter, honey, and jelly) fruit puree, and orange juice. It was plenty to start off your day well. All of their hot beverages are freshly prepared when you order. The hot chocolate they made for me was wonderful.

It was a great experience, a very cosy hostel & all in all a great experience. The best part was the location, its a 1 min walk from the station & within 15 mins walking from the beach & other attractions.

Antares hostel is awesome in all respects - location, staff, cleanliness. And its a very safe option for prior booking. Our trip to Nice got postponed by a night and so our booking at Antares had to be cancelled. They didnt charge us despite the fact that we didnt cancel our booking 24 hours in advance. On top of that they even provided us complementary breakfast and a place to keep our luggage for the day!

The hostel is excellantly located less than 300m from the main train station and is very conveniently located for almost all major attractions in town. Apart from that the rooms have good airconditioning, small but clean ensuites and rasonable facilities (including a communal fridge for each room). No real atmosphere unfortunately.

Excellent location, close to train station, and about 15mins walk (down the main shopping street) to the beach and nightspots. Overall very pleased, we booked a 4 person dorm only to be upgraded for free on our arrival and a free bottle of chpagne! We are budget backpackers, and this made our day ;)

Did not like that the kitchen was 45 degrees Celsius the instant anyone started cooking anything. Also the kitchen closed an 9:00pm. 9:00pm!! Just when people are getting settled back in after a long day out. Lame. Rooms were a bit drab. Huge skylight in our room which let the early morning sun right in. A bit claustrophobic room sizes as well.

Actually more a hotel than a hostel. A ir conditioning , phon in the bathroom, fridges in the corridor. Good position , right in front of the railway station Nice Ville and close to the supermaket . Breakfast is not included and costs 4 euro.

Kitchen was dirty. Staff were very friendly. Cool chill out room. Good for young travellers in groups. Location good, next to train station and tram, 10-15 mins walk to promenade des anglais.

J'ai apprécié l'accueil vraiment convivial ainsi que le petit déjeuner offert lors de mon arrivée en attendant la délivrance de ma clé, alors même que ce n'était pas compris dans le tarif pour le petit déjeuner de l'arrivée. Un accueil tout à fait digne d'une auberge de jeunesse ; je reviendrai !!

Literally right next to the train station! Free wifi, also free computers if you don't have a laptop which is great. Each room has a small bar fridge in the hallway which was really convenient and the airconditioning was AMAZING for summer. Great place as a lot of busabout people check in there so has a lot of young travellers. Bit pricey and no brekkie is included but there is a kitchen available.
