Perfect location in the Old Town. Very helpful owner and staff who let us check in early and gave good local directions for bus and onwards travel. Plus beach mats to use and a vending machine offering beer:-) No luxuries but kitchen and clean and quiet. We'll be back. x

very well situed place, cool staff, they are really friendly and welcoming, they will give you all necessary advice for a good trip in Nice! The place is cleaned everyday, I stayed 1 month and it was more than fine!

Our first day at Hostel Smith was a roller-coaster ride of quality fluctuation. Vieille Ville is charming in most parts, but the hostel is located in a rather questionable multiplex--to enter, you have to buzz in and pass through a dark, sketchy hallway. This unfortunate first impression was quickly improved by the friendliness of the staff, who informed us that... More

Owner is very helpful in giving directions, advise... More

I stayed at this hostel for 5 nights in Febuary, everyone that works and stays there is very friendly, there are a mix of all ages, from every nationality you could imagine, the location is perfect, just down the end of the street is the beach and the promenade, bars restaurants and shops are on the doorstep. I have traveled... More

The only redeeming quality this place has is that it's close to everything. Other than that, it sucks. The beds are horrible, the bathrooms are worse. Security is lax to say the least and it's hot. They have no air conditioning, so you have the sleep with the window open. If you have the window open, you will not be... More
