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.

Expensive for what you get. Dorms were very outdated and could stand to be changed. The beds were so shaky and even a slight movement would cause shaking for both top and bottom bunk. No curtain and weirdly placed outlets. Cleaners came into bathrooms but seemed to only spend like 5 mins and sinks smelled weird. Had a lot of old men in my room and obviously no curtains. Didn’t seem that social but common areas were nice

Loved how clean this hostel was and the ensuite bathrooms are amazing with a big shower. The location couldn’t be more central and the facilities were also great. A girl I knew had her entire backpack stolen by someone not staying at the hostel so security could be a bit better, would recommend locking your stuff up. Would also be a 10/10 if the beds had curtains but then again it encouraged my room to be more social. Would easily stay here again and would recommend :)

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.
