Very disappointed that it was cash only upon arrival without notification. My cost was 49.70 EU, and they said the didn't accept card - especially if it was under 50 EU (as if to suggest they would accept card if it was over 50 euros?) If they had offered me paying 0.30 cents more I would have done so. As a result, they sent me on a ~20 minute roundtrip to a recommended cash machine that charged a 13% upcharge on a poor conversion rate, costing me also 20% more.

Whatever you do do not agree to stay on n room 60. It is a cave where you are entertained night and day by the flushing toilets of the floors above. Nice people and convenient location but non social aspect whatsoever. Perhaps other rooms are better.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to stay here because of train strikes. However, when I explained this on the day of needing to check in, the hostel very kindly did not charge me for the night. They were very understanding. I can only imagine that it is a wonderful place because of this. Thank you!

Hostelworld says

The Antares Hostel is perfect for anyone looking for comfort on a budget. It's clean, cosy and has all the modern conveniences a traveller could need. This includes full kitchen facilities, free and fast Wi-Fi, and plenty of computers for those who don't have their own. The property is also well known for its friendly staff. Situated right in the middle of Nice, it's near both the beach and the old town, making it the perfect base to see the city from. It's right opposite the train station too, so no danger of getting lost on the way!
