I had a pleasant stay at Hotel So'Co By Happyculture, with a welcoming atmosphere and very friendly staff making me feel at home (special shoutout to the cheerful guy in the kitchen!). My room was comfortable and clean, and the hotel’s proximity to the train station was a big plus for day trips. However, I did experience a few hiccups with the air conditioning and cleaning schedule, which affected my overall enjoyment.

My room was well-maintained and cozy, with a comfy bed that promised good nights of sleep, although I found it quite small. The bathroom was nice and had good amenities, but it was a bit noisy at times.

The staff was friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I might need (even carrying my luggage!). They made me feel valued during my stay, though there were a few moments where I had to follow up on room cleaning.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is fantastic, just a short walk from the train station, which makes accessing nearby attractions or the beach very convenient. However, the 20-25 minute walk to the old town might be a bit much if you're not up for it.

Breakfast was a bit hit or miss; while there were tasty items like fresh pastries, there were days when the scrambled eggs were cold. I appreciated the availability of coffee and drinks throughout the day, which added a nice touch.

Facilities

The hotel offered many amenities like in-room kettles and access to a free water fountain, which were very convenient. However, the tiny lift made getting to my room a bit cumbersome at times.

My stay at Hotel So'Co By Happyculture was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The location near the train station was excellent. so convenient for day trips. However, the service at breakfast left much to be desired with limited options and slow refill times. While I appreciated the cleanliness and decor of my room, the overall experience was marred by inconsistent service from the staff.

I really liked the Hotel So'Co By Happyculture for its clean rooms and super friendly staff, which made my stay enjoyable. The location was fantastic, just a few minutes from the train station, making it easy to explore Nice. However, the breakfast options could use some more variety, especially for those with dietary restrictions, which was a bit disappointing.

Rooms

The rooms were clean and well-maintained, but definitely on the smaller side, which is pretty common for hotels in France. Overall, the quality was good, though there were minor quirks like the light switches that required removing the key card.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful; they really went out of their way to assist me during my stay. However, I did have a less than pleasant experience with the night shift staff, who didn't seem eager to help with my issue.

The hotel is in a perfect spot, only a 3-4 minute walk from Gare de Nice Ville, which made getting around so convenient. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, so I was able to grab food easily.

Breakfast was satisfactory, but I wish there had been more choices like eggs or vegetarian options. There was just bread available for gluten-free, which didn't accommodate everyone in my party.

I found Hotel So'Co by Happyculture to be a mixed experience. The location near the train station was a huge plus, making it easy to get around. However, the area itself felt a bit unsafe at night. The staff, especially Laury, were friendly and helpful, which made my stay more enjoyable, but the room size was quite small and I had trouble with temperature control.

My stay at Hotel So'Co was a mix of charm and challenges. The hotel’s location right by the train station made getting around super easy, but the room was surprisingly small, and I struggled with temperature control throughout my stay. While the staff were friendly, some areas, like the breakfast service, left a bit to be desired.

Rooms

5.0

The room was clean and modern but extremely small. I could barely move around, and with one luggage open, I didn't have space for the other. It felt a bit cramped for more than just sleeping.

Service

6.0

The friendliness of the staff was a highlight, though some experiences felt lacking, like when I asked for help with an issue and no one was able to assist adequately. Overall, they had good intentions, but the follow-through was lacking.

Location

8.0

The location is a major plus—right across from the train station and only a short walk to the beach and other key spots. I loved how convenient it was to explore Nice, but I wouldn't want to be out alone late at night due to some dodgy vibes around the area.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was basic and a bit hit or miss. I noticed some food wasn’t replenished during service, which was disappointing. Though the coffee and refreshments were available throughout the day, they weren't enough to replace a more substantial breakfast experience.

Facilities

6.0

While the hotel had nice amenities, the overall service, especially with getting rooms ready, could be improved. I liked the cleanliness and modern feel, but the lack of attention to some issues dampened my enthusiasm.
