Hôtel Acanthe

Hôtel Acanthe is a small two-star budget hotel at 2 Rue Chauvain in the Carré d'Or district of Nice, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The Carré d'Or is the compact grid of streets between the Promenade des Anglais, Place Masséna and the Jardin Albert I, and the hotel sits a few minutes from Place Masséna and the seafront. The tram stop at Place Masséna gives access to Nice-Ville station and the airport, while the Old Town, the Cours Saleya and the Colline du Château are all reachable on foot in about fifteen to twenty minutes. The central position is the main attraction, since most of Nice's sights can be covered without public transport, and it offers a more convenient base than many budget options near the station. Accommodation is limited to Double Rooms and Twin Rooms, reflecting the hotel's small scale. A breakfast room and wifi are listed among the amenities, but there is no restaurant, bar, pool or spa, so meals are taken at the many bistros, bakeries and pizzerias in the surrounding streets. Service is informal and personal, suited to couples, friends and independent travellers who plan to spend most of the day outside. Rates typically run from about EUR 55 to EUR 130 per night, depending on season, which is low for such a central location in Nice. Rooms are simple, and rooms on busy streets may be affected by evening noise.
