Hotel Area: Is next to tram station and it's easy to get tram direct to the hotel with Euro 1.50. A supermarket opposite the hotel, easy to buy lunch or sandwiches at the supermarket. Besides, many restaurants nearby and the main train station to Monte Carlo only need 10 minutes walk. Walking distance to old town, beach and open market.
Hotel room: The room is decent size, toiletries and towel are provided. Room is clean with a big window. The hotel is right next to the main street, will get some noise at early morning. I have no problem on it, still can sleep well but suggest to the traveller might have to prepare the earplug for better sleep. I still will give the ranking about quality of sleep is 9/10 with the nice view of the street. I personally enjoy drink my coffee next to the window and look at the street to enjoy Nice.
Breakfast: Like the breakfast, it provides hot food such as sausages, egg and bacon with toast. It also provides yogurt and other fresh salads with delicious pastries. Like the brew coffee and fresh juice too.
will definitely stay again!!
The hotel is very conveniently located in the centre of Nice a short walk from the nearest tram station on Line 2 (Jean Medecin) which is conveniently linked to the Airport in one direction and to the Port of Nice (Port Lympia) in the opposite direction.
The trams run about every 8 minutes. The fare from the Airport is 1 euro and books of tickets can be purchased in the arrivals area at the Airport.
The welcome at the reception at the hotel was warm and the hotel is very clean and tidy and nicely decorated throughout. We had a large corner room on the fourth floor which opened on to a wrap around balcony with a table and two chairs.
The Hotel has been redecorated since our previous visit in 2018 and the bathroom had been upgraded. The room had good facilities including efficient air conditioning, television, coffee machine, kettle, hair dryer and a room safe. The bathroom had a rainfall shower over the bath.
The first floor breakfast room was very bright and the food and service were excellent with a good selection of food on offer including some hot choices.
The Hotel has a very small lounge situated off the ground floor reception where complimentary coffee was available in the afternoon.
The reception staff were very helpful and the service provided by all the staff throughout the Hotel was very good.
We thought that the Hotel provided great value and would recommend it and will hope to return at a future date.
When we arrived, the lady on reception was delightful and super helpful. While we waited to find out if our room was ready, she shared a local map with us and gave advice on where to visit locally and transport options if we went further afield.
When we got to our room, we were blown away. We were on the fourht floor and had a corner room with a balcony so we had a fantastic view of the city and could see the see. The balcony had a small table and chairs set so you could sit out with some food or drinks and enjoy the view. The room was very spacious and spotless. The bathroom was a good size with some shelves for storing our toiletry bags and cosmetics. We also loved that the room had a very helpful vanity mirror set up along with a hairdryer and hair straighteners to use.
Breakfast was in a lovely room on the first floor. There was a huge selection to choose from including, pastries, pancakes, toast, fruit, yoghurts and some hot food like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage etc. There is plenty to choose from and give you a good start to the day.
Great value for money.
Right in the centre of Nice, so can be a bit noisy with lorries and bin collections early morning.
You can walk to the sea in 15-20 mins or 15 mins to the train station where you can catch a train to the airport/Cannes/Monte Carlo etc
Do not rely on SNCF trains to get you to the airport on time! They are always cancelled or late.
Breakfast is fine….allergies are catered for. It can be a bit busy around 9am and you might have to wait for a free table
The staff are really wonderful. All so friendly and helpful.
Very limited parking. Only 6 spaces and on street parking is sparse
Rooms are traditional hotel fare, with newly refurbished ensuite shower rooms and smart interior decor.
There is a roomy and nicely decorated breakfast room on the first floor. Breakfast is excellent with a good choice of cereals, pastries, cold meats and cheeses, fruit etc etc.
Staff were very friendly and welcoming and all seemed to be fluent English speakers which is a great help.
Only downsides are there is no bar or restaurant, but being so centrally placed, there is plenty of choice within a short walk.
The sea front and its spectacular promenade is a 15 minute walk south along the main street. There are local stops on both tram lines 1 and 2. The station on line 2 (Jean Medecin) is less than 5 minutes walk away and takes you to the airport in 30 mins. Great value tram service.
We thought the Lakmi represented very good value given its central location and would stay there again.
Upon arrival, we were very pleasantly surprised by the phenomenal welcome we were given at reception. I can't recall ever being treated as professionally and welcomingly even at 4 and 5 star hotels. The lass at receptionist should be given an award! Cold tea and a biscuit at reception, everything explained well and all with a big smile.
The room itself was not large but perfectly adequate. Spotlessly clean and it had a balcony with a wee table and two chairs which was nice to sit at late in the evening with a cold beer. Hairdryer in the bathroom as well as another in the main bedroom and curling tongs. The usual instant coffee/tea and kettle but with the very welcome addition of a Nespresso type machine! Air-conditioning worked very well, plugs all worked, the internet wifi was fast and the bed was comfortable with sufficient pillows provided.
Breakfast was the usual sort of continental style affair with yoghurts, cereals, fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, pastries, croissants, baguette, cold ham and cheese as well as scrambled eggs, sausages and excellent back bacon. None of your cheap streaky, fatty stuff! There are also two coffee machines so no having to queue for ages on others pouring coffee. The surroundings for breakfast were also pleasant with nice decor and really amiable staff.
Check-out was very quick and again, the staff went that extra mile and offered us both a bottle of cold water for our journey which we thought was a lovely touch.
I have stayed in many 4 star hotels and even some 5, where the decor, the ambience, the attitude of the staff was not nearly on a par with those at the Best Western Hotel Lakmi! Really quite surprised that it is only graded as a 3 star hotel as impresses as being much more than that.
I realise that some previous people have commented on the lack of a bar serving alcohol and of a garden area, but if you have a balcony, there is a supermarket with beer and wine for sale just over the street and across the main road is a bar.
The big question as usual is.....would we stay here again?
The answer is.....a very definite yes, especially in view of the wonderful staff.
