Hostel Meyerbeer Beach

Great Location, Mediocre Hostel
Meyerbeer Beach is perfectly situated about a fifteen-minute walk from the SNCF train station and five minutes to the beaches. They also provide beach mats, which are essential because the beaches are rocky. The room we stayed in was spacious, with a fan and a good-sized balcony. The bathroom was decently clean. There was even a kitchenette in our room, although we didn't use it. Also, the tv played British CNN which was nice. Nonetheless, they lack some of basics that make a great hostel. The staff was not particularly friendly or welcoming, the common area was very small, there were only two computers (one of which was not working at the time), no breakfast, and the reception is not twenty-four hours. So, while it isn't an amazing hostel, I would still recommend staying here because the prices are good and you really can't beat the location.

Great location!!! We paid to be in two six-person rooms and ended up in four-person rooms. And one night were given a single room for the two of us (myself and my best friend) I don't know about the big rooms but these were great. The four-person room had a beautiful balcony and the room was a nice size with a decent bathroom. The single room was nice and spacious but the bathroom was awful with very little water. We ended up washing our hair in the sink with freezing cold water. It was a great location and the man at the desk was extremely helpful. Great place to stay for a few days with a friend.

The staff are sort of a problem. One moment they're really nice and the next they don't seem to give a crap about the guests. The place REEKS of cigarette smoke; it gets into the sheets and everywhere else. The free Internet is good. Unless you plan to stay in a dorm, the smaller rooms are outrageously expensive. On the bright side, Nice is absolutely fantastic.... chill on the promenade at length because it's one of the best in Europe.

We stayed here in March 2005 and thought the location was excellent and the staff were very helpful. It is certainly more of a hostel than a hotel. The rooms were acceptable and overall it was value for money. Don't be put off by the entrance, as the hotel itself has its reception on the first floor.

Excellent hostel. The staff were really friendy and it was so nice to stay in a CLEAN, private and quiet place.

I really liked the location, the staff, and especially the kitchenettes in the rooms. I met lots of great people and we took turns cooking meals, which was a lot of fun. For the price you pay, this place was an absolute dream.

This place is okay. We stayed in the eight-bed dorm room and it was a bit shady. The room itself was WAY too small; four bunk beds all against the wall, and the only open area had a table blocking it. The bathroom was a bit yucky--the shower curtain had gunk on it. I'll admit, though, that the man at the reception was very helpful. Stay here only if you must, but I would opt for another place.

It was a pleasure to stay here. Very good location and clean. Well worth the money as you have your own kitchenette. My only complaints are the noise outside on the street. It is very loud with the cars and it was a bit hot in the rooms. Could do with some fans, but all in all it was one of the best I have stayed in.

Fantasically situated, clean and right in the center of everything. One of the best hostels I have ever stayed at.
