Hostel Antares offers a great value if you are looking for a hostel in Nice, France.
The Location
Hostel Antares is on the same street as Nice’s railway station and the stop of the airport bus and both are less than two minutes away. The local bus to the airport, which is only a fourth of the price, has a stop only ten minutes from the hostel. Both buses run four or more times per hour and take up to thirty minutes. The hostel is located in the northern part of Nice’s city centre, a few steps from the main street Avenue Jean Médecin, with many shops. If you walk down the main street, you will reach the Old Town and the boulevard in about fifteen minutes. Even though the hostel is a big street, your sleep won’t be disturbed by noises from outside at night. There is a supermarket next door of the hostel, which is open till midnight.
Rooms and Bathrooms
Hostel Antares offers both dorms and private rooms. Rooms are entered by an electronic key, which you will get upon arrival. The rooms are neat, have small lockers to store your valuables and cages to store bigger items. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, and each bed has an individual light and socket. All rooms are en suite. While the bathroom is spacious, the actual shower cabin is quite small.
Common Spaces
Hostel Antares has several common spaces. When you enter the hostel, you may think that you are entering a hotel. Even the sign on the facade says “Hotel Antares.” However, when you walk further into the hostel you will actually feel like you are in a hostel. Hostel Antares has a great garden where you can hang out and meet fellow travelers. The garden is shared with Hostel Baccarat, which is on the other side of the garden. Inside there are also three common rooms. In one of them, a supplementary breakfast is served every morning from 8 to 10 a.m. There is also a common room in the basement with couches where you can hang out. Between the common room in the basement and the garden, there is a big kitchen where you can prepare your own food.
Summary
This hostel has several great common areas, including a garden where it is easy to meet fellow travelers, and the rooms are comfortable. The only issue is the poor Wi-Fi signal -- it is slow most of the time, if it is working at all.
