Summary of traveller reviews

Villa Saint Exupery Beach in Nice offers a fantastic location, just a short walk from the beach and city centre. Guests frequently praise the social atmosphere and the friendly staff. However, some recent reviews mention that the cleanliness in dorms and bathrooms could be improved, and beds lack privacy curtains.

Nice: 4 nights, shared room I stayed four nights and would book again without hesitation.From the moment I walked in, the welcome was warm, and the reception staff were friendly every time I needed them. Breakfast is €9, and in Nice that is hard to beat. For the price you get a proper spread, and it is better value than buying a coffee and croissant in a café. The shared ensuite shower and toilet were clean throughout my stay. Jonathan the facilities manager was very pro active. Staff 10/10 😁

Very disappointing experience: smelly room, old and uncomfortable mattress, no towels, and shared bathroom facilities outside the room. I don’t recommend it.

Hostelworld says

Villa Saint Exupery Beach is in a great central location, just 20 metres from the main square, the old town and the beach. This hostel has been favourably compared to a hotel with a very popular bar and friendly staff who are '"super helpful with giving directions, helping you plan your day, and even gave me a tour of the hostel after I checked in", as one guest told us.
