HÔTEL EXCELSIOR * * * *
Cómo llegar y contactar
Para una estancia en un establecimiento construido en 1898.
Este establecimiento de estilo Belle Époque invita a viajar a través de su decoración: avión, tren, coche y barco. El ambiente es refinado y el confort moderno. Las habitaciones están impecablemente equipadas. Un jardín interior lleno de flores y una hermosa terraza con mesas de teca, ideal para tomar el sol, completan el servicio. Un bar al aire libre en el corazón del jardín está abierto entre abril y septiembre, donde se organizan veladas temáticas y afterworks. Un hotel boutique con encanto.

EDIT: Note that this is NOT a 4 star hotel based on the usual 5 star standard. I have learned that France has an agency that rates hotels on their own 1-4 star scale, which is essentially just a checklist of basic amenities. This establishment has achieved 4 stars on that scale. This scale does not line up at all with what one would typically expect when reading this is a "4 star hotel". The below was written when I assumed they were 4 stars based on the more international system that I'm used to. Since learning that, I've adjusted my review from 2 stars to 4. This should be more more obvious on Maps and other booking sites, as it's misleading to potential non-French guests.

However, for a place that bills itself as 4 stars, I am disappointed. I have been in motels in North America that were very nearly as nice, for a fraction of the cost. The AirBnB I stayed at (also in Nice, and near by) a week prior was cheaper and much nicer, offering complementary champagne, beach towels, a larger room, and a full kitchen. My gripe is that I expected a much more luxurious experience from a "4 star" hotel, but got very middling facilities. If they advertised as 2 stars, or maybe even 3, and brought prices down somewhat, I wouldn't be nearly as harsh with my rating.
The toilet being in a separate closet from a sink was odd at best, and unsanitary at worst. I do mean a closet, I'm 5'10 and if I was any taller I wouldn't have been able to close the door while sitting on the toilet.
Breakfast was offered for €19 (smelled good, but I didn't partake). The bar was closed the evening I was there (or didn't open until the night, unclear). The outdoor area with the small pool and bar was nicely decorated. If there was a proper restaurant for not-breakfast or room service, I was not made aware of it and didn't see it.
Frankly, I didn't experience anything outright bad, and I want to call out the staff again for being excellent. It's just that this is not a 4 star hotel despite advertising as such. It's not a bad place to stay, just poor value.
