The four-floor, 49-room Best Western Hotel
Roosevelt is a contemporary mid-range property. While it doesn't have the
nearby Boscolo Exedra's luxury or facilities like a pool, fitness center, and
spa, the Roosevelt offers relatively affordable rates, a breakfast buffet (for
a fee), and clean and surprisingly modern guest rooms with free Wi-Fi. Its location in the
heart of Nice offers close proximity to the main train station, and it’s a short
walk to Old Town, the beach, and the Promenade des Anglais.

Scene
Small hotel with colorful and stylish interiors
The Roosevelt has a look that’s colorful,
stylish, and modern. Visitors enter the hotel to a small lobby done largely in
white and featuring ornamental stone walls, a large orange urn, a striped
orange sofa, chocolate brown armchairs, paintings, sculptures, and flat-screen
TVs. Guests tend to gather here and in the bright and cheery breakfast room, with
orange walls and contemporary furniture. Rooms have a similar look, with bold
colors and a modern aesthetic. Because of its location, the property attracts
both tourists and business travelers alike.
Location
Central Nice location that's a five-minute walk from Old Town, among other sights
Best Western Roosevelt is located on the
Rue du Marechal Joffre, surrounded by restaurants, bars, and designer
stores like Armani, Louis Vuitton, and Hermes. It's an excellent central
location, although the area can get a little noisy because of the street traffic,
especially during the summer. Massena tram station is a five-minute walk east
while Gare de Nice Ville train station is a five-minute drive or 10-minute walk
north of the hotel. The Promenade des Anglais, Old Town Nice, a bicycle path, and
the beach are all a short stroll south. Old Town offers a maze of narrow
streets with public squares, shops, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, the Cours
Saleya flower market, and Baroque churches. For business travelers, the Acropolis
Palais des Congres convention center is a five-minute drive northeast of the hotel while Nice Cote d'Azur Airport is a 12-minute drive southwest.
Rooms
Contemporary rooms with free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, and flat-screen TVs
The Roosevelt's 49 guest rooms are on four
floors, accessible by stairway and elevator. Like at many older European
hotels, the elevator is small and slow, so it may entail a long wait to get to
the rooms. The 100% non-smoking units are contemporary, neat, and clean, featuring
vibrant hues like red, teal, fuchsia, and chocolate brown. All rooms come with
hairdryers, in-room safes, tea/coffeemakers, bottled water, mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs with international satellite channels. Most bathrooms are
shower only. Standard rooms can be quite small and mattresses aren’t
particularly high-quality. Limited closet space is another issue and some
spaces need refurbishment, particularly to address minor damp smells and mold
issues. Rooms on lower levels facing the street may experience noise as well.
Features
Ample breakfast buffet, free afternoon pastries, and meeting room for business travelers
As a
small city hotel, the Best Western Roosevelt has few on-site facilities, with
no swimming pool, fitness center, sauna, bar, or restaurant. The hotel's
highlight amenity is its ample breakfast buffet, with a fee for guests 12 and
over. The spread features hard-boiled eggs, hot sausages, cold cuts, cheeses,
baguettes, hot pancakes, madeleine cakes, tarts, fruit salad,
yogurt, coffee, juice, and more. Free pastries and hot drinks are served in the
lobby in the afternoon. The Roosevelt also has a 24-hour front desk, and the
multilingual staff can help plan excursions and offer tour advice. A Mac
computer is available in the lobby with a printer and free Internet access, and the
front desk can perform business services such as photocopying and faxing. The
hotel also provides local and international newspapers, board games and toys,
nearby public parking (for a fee), and town car service (for a fee) to the
airport. Business travelers also have access to a small,
well-equipped meeting room.
