- Qué tiene: Dorms and private rooms with bathroom · Air conditioning · Bar and gym · Next to Masséna

Large hostel in the heart of the city, two minutes from the beach and fifty metres from Vieux Nice, with dorms and private rooms, all with bathroom and air conditioning.

Where it is
On rue Sacha Guitry, a short street behind the Galeries Lafayette, a step from place Masséna. The hostel says it is fifty metres from Vieux Nice and two minutes' walk from the beach. It is a good base if you travel alone, with friends or on a small budget and want to get around on foot and by tram: the Cours Saleya, the Promenade des Anglais and avenue Jean-Médecin are just round the corner.
From the airport, take tram 2 at terminal 1 or 2 and get off at Jean Médecin; from there follow the tram line to the Masséna stop and pass the Galeries Lafayette. From Nice-Ville station it is about ten minutes on foot following the tram line, or two stops to Masséna. The hostel says trams run about every six minutes, from 6:00 to 2:00.
Rooms and dorms
There are private single, double, twin and triple rooms, and shared dorms of 4 to 10 beds. All rooms, dorms included, have their own renovated bathroom and air conditioning, and are cleaned daily. The dorms have lockers. Towels are not included: bring your own or buy one at reception. For groups of young people there is a separate space.
Services and atmosphere
It is a sociable, lively hostel, one of the big ones in Nice. It has a bar with a happy hour from 18:00 to 20:00, a gym, free wifi, free left-luggage, laundry service and access to a kitchen. They organise a free walking tour with a guide and a pub crawl, and sell diving and snorkelling excursions. If you are after silence at midnight, it is not your place; if you want to meet people and spend little in an expensive city, it is.
