Had a really enjoyable experience at this hostel! Rooms and bathrooms were nice and clean, with good sized lockers. Beds all had curtains, lights and a electric plug which was great. Really fun vibe at night. Location was good, close to the main street and it was a nice walk to the old town. - Australian Girl
What sets them apart?
This self-described "stylish hostel" is exactly that. With plenty of nice features including custom designed bunk beds and some fantastic common spaces, any budget traveler would be quite comfortable at the Ozz Nice.
Hostel Personality
Who's staying here?
Mostly younger budget travelers stay here. Even some of the private rooms have a dorm-like feel to them, so the travelers here are younger backpackers, solo travelers, students, and long-term travelers. However, it's not uncommon to see some older budget travelers here, as some of the private rooms are more like budget hotel rooms.
Insider Tip
Bring your own padlock and towel if you're staying in the dorms, otherwise you'll have to rent them at the front desk.
Hostel OZZ
With a convenient location and plenty of great amenities, including a bar, the Ozz Nice hostel offers a lot for guests. The common areas are very social, particularly in the busy summer months. The on-site bar flows into the seating area and the lounge area, so guests are all able to have a great time here. The rooms have plenty of custom features to them, too. It's worth checking out if you're looking for a good time in Nice.
The Facilities
Dorms
Dorms at the Ozz are modern and have some nice custom features. The bunks are all custom made. Many of them go up 3 levels, while some have 2 levels (you may want to request to not be on the top.) All of the bunks have privacy curtains, lights, and plugs for each bunk. Plenty of natural light comes in through the large windows. Some of the rooms have small balconies, too.
Female-only rooms are available.
Also, the dorms have some very large lockers for each guest (bring your own lock). These lockers are not just large enough for your backpack or suitcase, but also have shelves for other items, coat hooks, and more.
Dorms here also have ensuite bathrooms and air conditioning.
Private Rooms
Private rooms at the Ozz Nice come in a variety of sizes. While it's possible to book a larger dorm room for a group of friends, it's also a good option to book a smaller room. This is good for a couple or a pair of friends that want some privacy and quiet time. With ensuite bathrooms, they are comfortable and relaxing. Private rooms here also include towels, soap, and shampoo.
Bathrooms
The bathrooms at the Ozz hostel are modern, comfortable, and all are ensuite to their respective rooms. Plenty of hot water and water pressure is available, too.
Bar
The bar at the Ozz Nice hostel is loads of fun, especially during the high season of summer when plenty of other guests are around. The bar area merges into the other common room areas of the hostel, which allows guests to either sit at the tables or have fun in the game and TV room.
Restaurant
The main common area of this hostel is also a seating area for the cafe. This is where the great breakfast is served, and it's a nice spot to mingle with other guests or just get some work done on your laptop.
Common Areas
Other than the previously mentioned seating area for the restaurant and bar, this hostel has some fun and relaxing common areas. A game room with a large ping-pong table is set up here, as is a TV area.
Outdoor Space
A small rooftop terrace can be found on the top floor. With a few comfortable seats, this is a nice spot to unwind, enjoy the warm sun of Southern France, and read a book or chat with some friends.
