Welcome to Hostel Smith a newly opened hostel in NICE south of FRANCE in the heart of the old town(vieux nice..).

The Hostel Smith is a friendly and comfortable hostel situated in one of the nicest streets in the heart of Vieux Nice just next to Place Rossetti, the Promenade des Anglais and the beaches with the Cours Saleya, the Port and the tramway station just a moment away all the tourist attractions of Nice and the French Riviera are on your doorstep and the best that Old Nice has to offer is just outside our front door!

The hostel welcomes you with a dormitory for 10-12 people or a separate private room for two people sharing. There are showers, a kitchen with cooking facilities and a large flat screen TV, free lockers and WiFi access as well as tea, coffee and chocolate included in the price.

The hostel is just off Place Rossetti, one of the main squares in the old town where you can sit and have a leisurely coffee or glass of local Provencale wine while taking in the colourful Mediterranean sights.

The Square is home to the Cathedrale Ste Reparate dating back to the 17th Century which is a hub of activity in the summer months with regular concerts and festivals. The Musee Lascaris is just opposite our hostel and the famous "Cours Saleya", Nice's main square and flower market is 2 minutes walk away and is brimming with the best bars, cafes and restaurants a perfect place to people-watch and make the most of France's café society!

The beaches which are just across the square, next to the Cours Saleya, offer all the watersports you could want with diving, parascending, jet ski and scuba diving all on offer. You have an excellent selection of public or paying private beaches.

The group that shared the big room was extremely noisy and dirty. Just our luck of the draw that we got to stay with them. The people were extremely friendly and everything was clean (before they took over).
Location is IDEAL and it is really good value for money.

This was easily the worst hostel I stayed in during my travels in Europe. The only good thing about it was the location, which is fantastic. It is located in the old town and is a short walk to the market and the beach/boardwalk. This hostel is basically an apartment that has been converted to a hostel, with 15 beds stuffed in each room. The bathroom was not clean and I elected not to shower while staying here because the shower was scary. There was a common room with kitchen facilities and a large TV. Internet was supposed to be free, but it did not work at all during my stay. The owners were very nice and tried to fix the problem, but it never helped. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it to others.
