Staying at Hotel le Saint Paul was a great experience overall. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the city center and close to restaurants, shops, and tourist spots.

Overall, considering the location, comfort, and pricing, this hotel offers solid value for money, especially for short stays or transit travelers looking for a reliable base in Nice.
