Lonely Planet Review

Quotes Handily situated near the train station, you'll find Chez Patrick above the Faubourg Montmatre restaurant, on the first floor (importantly, not the fourth floor, which also houses a separate hostel that's received more than its fair share of complaints). Inside you can chill out in the air-conditioned, tiled, French-washed common room, or in the high ceilinged rooms, which have stacks of space, hand basins, brand new beds, and double-glazed windows. The small guest kitchen has no oven, but there's a microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster. Both double rooms share bathroom facilities, but one (room 5) has its own microwave, fridge and table. Outside, you'd be hard pressed to count the surrounding Internet cafes on two hands; and there's a laundry a few doors up at 22 rue Pertinax.

How To Get There

From the GARE SNCF/ railway station, please turn left after coming out of the main gates of the railway station, walk up to Avenue Jean-Medecin and cross the street - you will see KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) and turn right, then continue walking on the left side of the avenue up to the second street, which is the Rue Pertinax. On the corner of Rue Pertinax you will find a Pharmacy, to the opposite on the right side is the McDonald's. Turn left into Rue Pertinax and the first apartment building is Backpacker's Hostel Chez Patrick. The door number is 32. Press the button 'Backpacker's Chez Patrick' to open the door and go one floor up from the ground door. If you are flying in to Nice Côte-d'Azur airport, take the regular bus number 23 (ticket 1,- EUR) or the Express Navette 99 (ticket 4,- EUR) which leaves the airport Terminal 1 and 2, every 30 minutes. Both the buses will bring you to the GARE SNCF/railway station. There is no bus services from the airport to the GARE SNCF/ railway station after 22:00 hours so you have to take a taxi (approximately 25,- EUR) or the Express Navette 98 which leave the airport Terminal 1 and 2 to the GARE ROUTIERE/bus station. From GARE ROUTIERE/bus station take the tram in the direction of Las Planas, get off at GARE THIERS SNCF (4 stops). Then turn right, you will see KFC ?

Author Tip

Head to Patrick's picks for cheap, quality eats: Euro9 menus at Le Mets & Café in rue Assalit, or an entire half chicken with salad, roast spuds and a soft drink or wine (Euro6.50-7.50) on the terrace of La Broche - Patrick has copies of menus on hand.

Curious Fact

Doing your Tour de France? Bring your bicycle upstairs inside the hostel - Nice isn't a dangerous city, but theft is rife, so leaving it on the street isn't advised.
