Awesome stay in Nice! Stayed in the 5 bed dorm and it was perfect. Wifi was reliable and staff was great! The free walking tour is also a must if you can make it! If I'm ever back in Nice I will certainly stay there again!

My friends and I all loved staying at this hostel. They offer so many activities to do every day, including a free walking tour. The beds and pillows were the most comfortable I have seen in a hostel so far. If you are staying in Nice, you must stay here!

Great place to meet new people. Did not know anyone upon arrival and 6 hours later we were 14 people out on the town having a great time. The same thing happened the rest of my stay.

Overall hostel is pretty good. The kitchen needs to be improved. Their other hostel has a kitchen that is light years ahead so if you like cooking, stay at the gardens hostel. I was a bit annoyed with the construction workers relentlessly working in the hostel. Bar is good.

Really sub-par. I got a terrible night's sleep and then almost missed my train because the staff that was there before 7:30 didn't even know how to check people out. Also, it's way overpriced. Don't stay here.

A good place to lay your head and relax. The movies in the common room were nice, and their breakfast is decent. The bathroom in our room got pretty filthy, so I recommend showering downstairs.

There was no pillow cases on any of the beds in our dormitory. But i did not attempt to rectify the situation.

I loved Nice and I really enjoyed staying at Saint Exupery! It's a fairly big hostel but I was still able to feel like I was at home, I always saw people whom I recognized and could chat with, both guests and staff. The staff was really amazing, expecially Sarah and Christian who were super helpful and even when they were busy or dealing with difficult guests were able to help me out and recommended great places to go/things to do. I would never wanted to leave and would definitely be back!

Wonderful central location, just across from Lafayette. I like their decoration on the wall---reproductions of famous paintings across time. And they played classical music during free breakfast, which was an enjoyment to me.

Perfect location, worth staying just for that. Helpful, friendly staff, great cafe/bar. Nice rooms, comfy beds and big common areas. Could use more separate bathrooms on each floor but was never a real problem. Great place to stay to explore Nice.

This was the perfect hostel. the security is really good, the staff were amazing, and the beds/ pillows were the most comfortable ones I've ever had in a hostel. it was extremely easy to meet people as a solo traveler thanks to the 1 Euro happy hour beers. it's also easy to walk to from the train and close to the beach and sights. I wish I could have stayed way longer. Nice was the best part of my trip so far and I give lots of credit to this hostel.

The breakfast was really good with 12 different kind of cereals. The bar area was nice and the living room was amazing! So big and comfy and they had lots of movies loaded on the tv you could choose from to watch. The room was okay but the washroom was one room with 2 showers and an open toilet so really only one person could use it at a time and it wasn't kept very clean. Also the kitchen wasn't too goo for cooking in. But overall we enjoyed our stay

You can't fault the location! And the fact that it has a gym, free tea/coffee/hot chocolate/breakfast is a definite bonus, as well on the on-site cafe, which serves really yummy, really cheap meals at dinner. My room was clean, the bathrooms were all very clean (but often missing soap) and the renovations are looking modern. The staff are mostly very friendly, but I think the reception staff get a bit too stressed than what is necessary at times, it'd be nice if there were a bit happier!

We were very disappointed that the ceiling in the room was leaking! Water or whatever else flowed from it at all hours!

Staff is not that friendly and my room was dark and dingy with no windows. Great location though.

Staff was not helpful, and was actually rude to us. Poor value for price.

I stayed in a Female 12 bed dorm with ONLY 1 washroom to share. Obviously, this was difficult for 12 girls to share (our room was always at capacity during our stay). The lighting in our room was also terrible. We were always in VERY dim lighting, making things difficult and uncomfortable during the evenings. Otherwise, the beds were comfortable and clean. The breakfast was mediocre but then again, you are at a hostel. Sadly, we could not rent bikes because the bike seats were not adjustable.

Great location. However, I stayed in a 13 bed dorm that had only one bathroom, which was not enough. At the end of the four days I was there, the bathroom was filthy and clearly had not been cleaned. Additionally, much of the staff at the front desk was rude and was extremely unhelpful. I would not stay at this hostel again, despite the great location.
