Residence Aston la Scala

I liked the location. That's kind of it...

Toilet was dirty when we arrived (late in the evening)-photo. There were a couple of cockroaches in the bathroom-photo. Nobody at the reception at any hour (including during their schedule), one has to go to the reception of the hotel Aston la Scala (close, but not the same). It was cold, especially at night (stayed here in december) and the thermostat didn't seem to work. For some reason, a couple of unknown guys barged into our room during night (although there was a code at the building entrance and there was a keycard needed for he room door), then they got out and started knocking on our window (we were at ground floor). The faucet in the bathroom stops after 6 seconds, then you have to press the button again. While I understand ecological reasons, it could have stayed on for a bit longer (at least 15-20 secs) and, besides, I get this system in a public bathroom, but not really in a private one... It was frustrating.

Location, view, modern, character. Large space to hang out in. Nearby health food store. Walk to many sites of interest. Comfy bed. Good blackout drapes.

This one bedroom apartment with kitchen will appeal to couples wanting more space. It's location is good, overlooking Promenade Des Anglais. The building is distinctive, a classic flat iron shape and ornate. We had apartment 502 on the highest floor. In spite of some positives there were some disappointing negatives that means we can only generously give it 3 out of 5 stars. The high price for this unit is not justified in our opinion.On the plus side: it is roomy, recently renovated, with a great view from the rotonde windows, good bed, clean, comfortable furniture, well equipped kitchen, good water pressure and drains, good cupboards and closet space, good lights, reasonably quiet with windows closed even though it's a very noisy street below especially at night (motorbikes, yelling, partying, loud music, trucks...) The wifi is good. Comes with a washing machine but no drier (which is frustrating). Fridge works well as does dishwasher.Cons: the check in is confusing and requires that you walk about 100 meters to the lobby of the Hotel Anton La Scala, which is a different building from Residence Anton La Scala. There is a feeble attempt to pretend that there is a receptionist in the Residence but in our six night (October 2025) stay we never saw the person. The lift to the fifth floor works ok but is very tiny with room for only two people... Add your bags and it's almost impossible to get two people inside. The biggest disappointment during our stay was the very unpleasant sewage odor that hit us on entering the apartment. In spite of the unit being freshly cleaned and made ready, the smell really hit us. We immediately opened all the windows to allow a cross breeze to removed the stink. It is a bit of a mystery where the bad odor is coming from. The sewers here are old and maybe back-gassing comes up through the drains?

Centrally located. Spacious accomodations. Maid service every day! Every thing you need for a long stay. Very close to Vieux Nice. Most favorite accomodations!

Nice, clean, convenient location.

There was a sulphuric smell in the halls and elevator during our stay.

I had almost everything I needed at the apartment. The location was great; very close to town and the beach. The bed was super comfortable and the bedroom was quiet for the most part.

There was no soap in the toilet room, toilet paper seemed limited, and there was no one at the desk when I checked in. I figured out that you had to go around the corner to the hotel and it all worked out.

Good location

Filthy dirty!!! One of the worst places I have ever stayed in… I would have left but couldn’t find anything else

Location and apartment!

The cleaning was bad. The pool area did not open before 10:00 AM. Would gave been great if it opened 09:00AM.

The location is great, very central and walkable to a lot. It is easy to get into the building. The reception at the hotel side was very helpful. The washing machine inside the unit was great to have. There was plenty of closet space and two bathrooms was a bonus. Note that the hotel is around the corner, and not attached to the residences.

- The unit was not very clean upon checking in: You could see footprints on the floor, the dishes in the dishwasher were still dirty, the shampoo rack on the shower had wrappers from previous tenants and random items were in the closet. - Dishwasher tabs were provided but there were no cleaning pods for the washing machine. - The remote on one of the TVs did not work. - There is never anyone at reception, you have to walk to the hotel to get anything.- There was no hand soap in either washroom. When I asked the cleaning person about hand soap, she gave me a plastic bag of hand soap which looked like a refill bag for the shampoo bottle that was shampoo for the body and hands.- The "street view" is just of the alleyway, the windows look into the apartments across the street that look like hostels. - Every day the cleaner would leave additional footprints on the floor and she left a perfume bottle one time. - The hotel reception provided us with an umbrella and water when requested, however they do not have any beach towels or beach parasols available, as the listing mentions. - The layout of the shower unit was not well designed, the water would spill on to the floors after each wash.I am not sure what I expected. I expected perhaps a hotel quality stay, since it is associated with a hotel. However the quality of this place was not 3-4 star hotel quality. It was more like a somewhat cared for Airbnb where someone changes your towels and makes your bed every day. But even then, I have stayed at Airbnbs with better attention to detail and cleanliness.

Newly remodeled,, convenient, quiet and comfortable

The layout of room and the toilet was a very small room!

Laid out so tied room bedroom very spacious not toiletries no basic bathroom soap at least

Service was wonderful even if it’s the residence side of hotel scala. Particularly Barnardt I think is his name from front desk of hotel.

It was great !

Building is beautiful. Very good location, just next to the park, walk to tram station in 2 minutes, 3 mins to Place Massena Square by walk. Bedroom is good sized with a closet and a desk .Shower room is big. Toilet is separated from shower room. Living room is with sofa, chairs and a round dinning table.

No staff at front desk if check-in after 7pm.

Good location

The furnishings were very dorm like and durable. Not fitting with price. Only staff at nearbu

The best location in the city. Very close to everything you need. Beach, shopping, old town.

The property is new and clean. The bed was super comfortable to sleep. Calm room with a street view. A bit dark, but good for rest. There is an elevator which is a big plus.

Very clean, good location, wonderful helpful doorman. Highly recommended

fantastic for traveling with babies! they provided a nice crib and made sure we had plenty of towels… though the elevator is TINY. could only fit one of us in with the stroller.

we experienced a fowl odor in parts of the apartment which was not addressed by the staff though we mentioned it twice - but aside from this our stay was wonderful.

Clean. Professional staff.

Residence furnishing cold and uninviting.

How spacious, cozy, comfortable, with all the needed amenities, and also elegant. Also a big thank you to all the staff for their great courtesy and informative attention. We loved it!

Although there is a good washing machine, a washing/drying machine could have been better. Also for the purpose of preventing water splash from the shower that needs to be dried out after showering, a glass door could be installed. That could prevent frame door wood from getting wet.

The apartment is lovely, with windows on three sides to let air flow. The furnishings seem high end and the location was wonderful.

There was a note saying 4 coffee pods were included, however there was only one. We told the young lady at the front desk and she said they would deliver some “tomorrow”. They never came and the housekeeping staff who asked if we needed anything did not have any.

There were many restaurants and all u need around the hotel, the location was perfect. You can reach many places by walking.
