Was forced to stay a couple of days as everything else booked out....advise ...rather don't go to nice.....avoid at all cost..... Friendly staff ,however ancient poorly maintained rooms..worn out mattresses soiled bathrooms noisy aircon....windows cracked with old bird droppings....restaurant that makes"faulty towers" look like the Ritz....avoid at all cost....

I have been staying at the Hotel Busby for a few weeks on a business trip to Nice. The rates are reasonable and the location superb.I too found it 'quintessentially ' french, which is a good thing. I just was shocked when I was introduced to a single room, which consisted of a single grubby bed and rickety stool. After... More

As noted before, the decor is totally out of date and tacky. There are hints of what could have been in the entrance, but once you climb to your room, you can start to see what I mean when I say tacky. The room we had was a good size. It fit two people a d two large suitcases well.... More

We stayed at this hotel whilst on our Trafalgar tour in June 2012. It was a very nice old hotel with all the characters features. Clean, tidy and very friendy people. only a couple of blocks away from the beach and shops. we stayed with 2 adults and 3 children in 2 rooms which were next to each other.

Stayed here for 2 nights in January 2011. Hilarious hotel as reception shows signs of once beautiful grandeur, but the rooms tell a different tale. Really small rooms, no iron as is the norm in Europe, but there was something very charismatic about the place and I think I would stay there again! Great location, but no restaurants or cafes...

The place was filthy and when we asked them to clean the room they told us we could go sleep on the street. Then, in the middle of the night they turned off the electricity for our ENTIRE floor...

This hotel is very outdated and needs a total makeover. Spent 2 nights there in June of 2012. Unfriendly staff, room keys have to be turned into front desk whenever you leave premesis. At night the keys are left on desk counter, to be picked up upon return, no ID required. Was travelling with EF Tours. 2 guest were robbed... More

Ma & Pa hotel with an excellent location for access to the beachfront of Nice, around 5 minutes walk from the water. Room interior very dated and service fairly patchy; don't bother with the breakfast offering, take a short walk and find something tasty only a city block or 2 away. Wifi strong, constant and only 5 euros for 24... More

We were due to stay at another hotel nearby who "apparently" had an electrical issue with our rooms (2 couples...both rooms?) so we were asked to locate to the Hotel Busby for one night. 1st impressions are not good. Reception area is ok but hallways are very unwelcoming and dark and the rooms are very old fashioned. Reminiscent of the... More
