Where to stay in Nice
Nice hotels & accommodations
We stayed in room 22 and I’m glad I spent a little extra on it. The view is spectacular. There is a balcony and you can surely enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine!!! The rooms are spacious. The bathroom clean. The staff are very courteous. We arrived early however the very sweet lady at the reception let is check in early! The breakfast was good. The lady and the you...
It's the best one amongst our stay in South of France. Also the best rate and best view for last day of the trip because it's convenient to buy souvenirs from the old town. On the way back to the Nice airport, the bus stop is just in front of the hotel, superb!
The rooftop has panoramic views all around Nice. The hotel is well located, a bit back from the beach away from the awful tourist streets. After checking in we visited the rooftop bar for some salad. We were impressed with the view and returned after dinner (the staff had recommended an excellent restaurant in the old town). We met some Nice locals who had come to the ...
Really nice hotel in a great position for central nice and the old town. Excellent staff. My only criticism is that the indoor pool was not heated anything like enough. It needs checking daily and adjusting when necessary. It is not the point that it’s connected to the outdoor via a plastic cover and that’s why it cold. It simply needs turning up the heat to make like...
We spent a week in this hotel in august 2019 and had a great time. It’s location is excellent - 7 mins from beach, train station and main shopping street, and near to most main attractions. The hotel facilities - gym, spa, rooftop pool and outdoor jacuzzi were superb, a real treat and absolutely made our holiday! Design wise it’s a little more traditional and the bed...
Fantastic old Dame of a hotel, just a garden away from the Negresco but significantly less expensive. Nicely refurbished rooms, some with fantastic views. Staff all very efficient and kind. We were upgraded to a larger rooms as we had booked twin beds and originally assigned a queen. This was a corner unit, handicapped accessible with large wet bathroom. Some d...
This hotel is located near Rue de France where shops and restaurants are located. You can also walk to shopping centers from here.
Clean and cozy room at a very convenient location in the city center. Nice and helpful staff. If you arrive at late night, ask them in advance so they will instruct you how to get in the room even after their reception time is ended and you can officially check-in next morning. Some simple kitchen equipment, dinnerware and cutlery are provided in the room so you can c...
I booked this hotel because it was near to the place I am going to board a midnight bus nearby. I did not expect a high quality of apartment hotel since I have been travelling a lot but Appart'City was really surprised me with the clean room and kitchenette and toilet. I particularly like the kitchenette because got dish washer and even microwave though the place is sm...
It was an awesome view of the Nice rivera, worth all it takes to stay at Radisson Blu. It was a clean hotel and the front desk staff was very helpful in checking us in, giving an upgrade to a room with very good view. There is a tram station right behind the hotel from where airport and the old town are away just a 7-8 minutes ride. There was excellent breakfast and ...
We had a great 2 nights stop over in Nice. Check in is super quick. All staff was nice and friendly and spoke good English. Close to train stations but beware the taxis here is a rip off 25 euros for less then 15 min taxi ride from Nice Ville station to the hotel... Come on! Room was clean although the carpet could do with a good scrub. There's a lot of Halal butchers,...
The staff first struck me as nice and friendly. The rooms are comfortable with air-conditioning, a great plus in the summer when Nice is hot and humid. The lockers are also useful with many compartments to keep your items, though do bring your own padlock. There are curtains for your bed if you need a little more privacy. Space inside the room itself is rather tight,...
Overall we had a very pleasant stay. It started with a warm welcome at the front desk with well informed staff. We liked the location of the hotel convenient to tourist areas, old town, walking streets and restaurants. The good buffet breakfast and the free newspapers available in the lobby were a nice bunus. We understand that free internet is coming soon but we had t...
Great hotel in Nice, location is good just off the main strip so quite on an evening if needed. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
My first time at Nice, France. Wonderful beach, nice food, sun... And this goldstar hotel were perfect
The only bad thing I have to say about the Nice hotel was the fact that the air conditioing was off in the rooms. The room was stifling overnight and we had difficulty sleeping. Staff explained that is was off until mid May. They supplied a fan, however this was not at all adequate and we had difficulty sleeping. This is so poor for a 4 star hotel. Would not recommend ...
We checked in rather late, around 11pm,which was no problem at all, smiley hotel staff- the room is normal "small size" for this line of budget business hotels, fine though for a few nights only. At the same time, you could see the hotel was trying to bring design into a business hotel atmosphere, colorful rooms and lobby were appreciated. The bathroom and shower were ...
it is very close to train station. so you can easily find the location of the hotel. the hotel is recently renovated, so the facility and bed is quite clean and have good condistion. staffs were facing some problem in english communication, but tried to solve the problems at their best.
Funky and newly renovated hotel, so everything worked. Had a very serene and quiet feel about it the whole time I was there. I was kindly granted a room that faced the inner courtyard, so it was so quiet and perfect for a good nights sleep. Breakfast each day was good with enough continental choices available. Some may say it was repetitive, but at home I have the sam...
The hotel is located in a quiet street and next to a tram station which made it easily accessible to the beach area. There is a market outside the hotel too. The hotel is brand new. The staff are nice and friendly. Overall good value for the money.
Ideal for backpackers. You can use the kitchen to eat food, and surprisingly, there is a sauna and a gym in the basement. Conveniently located near department stores and Massena Square. And the staff responded well. It seems to be good at cleaning. When you travel from Nice to the suburbs, you have to find accommodation here. will have to pay for breakfast. And...
Our stay was great. A nice clean modern shower/bathroom and we loved the central location
my wife and i were on a road trip around europe so one of the points for choosing this hotel was that it had secure parking. parking is very convenient and is located directly opposite the hotel in a multi-storey with its own private section which can only be accessed with a key code. we also chose this hotel for its location and price. in fact we were visiting monaco...
This hotel is good location,5 minutes walk to promanade de anglais.And you can walk to Place Massena,it's have shopping mall and many restaurent.And staff,she's very nice can speak English very well.And we got the first room but we don't like,she try to find the new room for us.And it's very best room for us,very nice view from balcony.
It was a very good location, just 5min walking distance from the bus stop for bus 99(airport bus). Very good for transit hotel as they have Very comfortable bed and nice staff.. And also they willing to help us to store the luggage for overnight while we heading monaco for 1 day trip. We were extremely impress with this. Don’t hesitate to book this hotel.
We loved nice!!!. The location of the hotel is perfect only a 10 Min walk to the train station the beach and the shops and cafes are all around you. The rooms where big enough and always kept clean, when we first arrived the hotel staff where welcoming and helped us get a good understanding of the city, the only bad side of the room was that we had to keep the doors o...
Easy to access everywhere by foot. I should not forget to mention the reception is excellent service that he remember our face and name immediately after check-in hotel. Since then, he called us our name every time he saw us. What a fantastic service even though the hotel is 3 star.
We visited in late April as a group of 16 from Sheffield, UK. The apartments were ideal for our needs and very well priced. The building is a 2 minute walk from the beach and the centre of Nice is a 10-15 minute walk along the promenade. There are a number of supermarkets and shops in the local area. At the time of writing, the tram system is being extended past the fr...

As a female solo traveler, if you're going in the winter (presumably during the hostel's less popular times), I would recommend at least booking a female-only room. I switched from co-ed to female only when I realized I was the only female in my co-ed room and there were a majority of older men. Social opportunities with young adults weren't as prevalent as other hoste...
I like the staffs, especially two housekeeper ladies! They are soooo friendly and nice, so does the receptionist Terry, he concerns every guest and tries his best to help. Location is perfect, 2 minutes to Nice Ville(FS) by walk, also can take bus number 99 to the airport ( timetable start from 7:00am, every 30 minutes)€6, 10 minutes to main centre by walk.
I highly recommend l'hôtel la Belle Meunière! The staff is very friendly and service minded and the room was nice and clean. I stayed in a room with three other people and we had our own bathroom. The room was cleaned every day. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom and shower worked very well and we had a nice air conditioner in the room. Me and my friend spend severa...
My stay was astounding. By far the BEST hostel in Nice! If you stay at Faubourg Montmartre Guest House--expect 5-star treatment, great facilities, provide guests with very good hospitality. You won't be disappointed if you book a bed here. Give them a try, see how you can experience NICE in a truly unforgettable time.
i stayed here for 4 nights and I would definitely come back. Even though we shared the bathroom (I was in the dorm), it was always clean and there was never timing issues. The room was comfortable and I had breakfast with sea view every morning. The breakfast was simple but I quite enjoyed it! Hosts were discreet and hardly ever around. The location is perfect for dis...
Our stay was great. A nice clean modern shower/bathroom and we loved the central location
First time visit to Nice for a couple for days, this hotel is really convenient as it is located about 10 minutes walk from the Train Station (we travelled via TGV from Paris) and about 20 minutes to the beach, or 15 minutes to the food street/ shopping street. Perfect location as long as you do not hate walking. The room is actually pretty nice and the receptionist wa...
Very nice hotel, lovely staff, We had problem with tobacco stench in room and pillows the first night but the staff happily moved us to better room next day. Good breakfast.
Clean and cozy room at a very convenient location in the city center. Nice and helpful staff.

We loved our stay at this hotel in Nice. The room was very small but the bed was comfortable, the shower hot with good water pressure & the bathroom was well set out. The location was great, close to the centre of Nice, the coast & the train station. The staff were lovely & accommodating & the breakfast was good. We would happily stay there again.
I was accommodated in Deluxe Double Bed Room instead of booked Single Bed Room, that was quite spacious and comfortable with all required facilities. Hotel is close to the main train station and central street. Very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommend this place.
Great location in terms of experiencing the city, close to public transportation and the promenade. Not all of the staff is good with the English language, but it was not an issue for us. The room was simple, but nice with a small balcony.
The room is nice although on the smaller size. The shower was small but shower room big. The hotel is near the beach which is great and about a 20 min walk to downtown. There is a great patisserie right near the hotel. The best feature of the hotel is the staff. The guy and girl who maned the front desk in the morning while we were there were amazing! Provided us with...
Quite nice, it is an bed and breakfast hotel. It was a 6~7 storey resident building and the one room apartment given to us was on the 6th floor. building had a lift, so no worries.. no breakfast or food menu available as you get a one room apartment on rent with some tea/coffee bags, however it is no big deal as the place is centrally located and there are so many rest...

Our 1 night stay at Apogia hotel was ok. Location was good. We travelled for almost 3 weeks with stays at many different hotels, mostly 3-star. Apogia rating themselves as 4-star but is the only hotel during our trip that does not provide free-wifi access to guests, abit disappointing. It may not be a must, but definitely a plus to have this service included for conven...
Very good location. Close to the Main Street and train station. Tram line very close by to take you towards the promenade. Nice stroll straight down to the promenade either. Staff very friendly and rooms cleaned and fresh towels on a daily basis. Not noisy at all. Beds very comfy. Only negative is the lack of English tv channels, very wet one morning and would have be...
Recommended for the people who visit Nice, hotel located in good location, and the owner is very friendly. The only cons is the lift might be small which only can squeeze 2 people inside. Overall still highly recommended.
We stayed here in Aug 2010. The hotel was clean with friendly, helpful staff. We had a double room on the top floor. (Thankfully, the lifts were of good quality and efficient!) The room was on the small side - but this is typical for France. The bathroom was adequate and clean as was the rest of the room. The bed was large enough and comfortable. The complementary tea-...
GoOd service, nice location, and near the beach. Very close to the riviera beach and the train station so we can easily walk to the hotel, also the bus stop is just about 15 minutes walk. Therefore, we can catch the bus to monaco very easily. It is very convenient when we travel with no car. I recommend this hotel. Even it's a two star hotel, but the service is good a...
The hotel could be described as a small bouquet hotel, i.e.,small, compact but very pleasant. The rooms are a little on the small size for the business traveler for whom this stay was simply one leg of a multi-leg journey, and if I had been travelling together with someone ....very cramped! I can't comment on the location vis-à-vis the seafront and the town's attractio...
We have visited the hotel in June 2019 for 5 nights. The hotel is located in main street - 15 minutes by walk to the beach and the old town, with easy access to all attractions in Nice and costal area (Monaco, Eze, etc.) - very close to the train station and bus stops. The breakfast was excellent and various. There have scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, sausages, bacon, ham...

Location is excellent, within walking to distance to bus stops from airport. Easy walk to waterfront and shops around the corner. There is a KFC within 5 mins walk if you need break from kebabs or the local food. Supermarket is 2 mins walk. Full European Breakfast came with the room. The room had a balcony with a sun chairs and small table for 2. Room was roomy f...
I was unable to use the shuttle from airport to hotel as I did not have an international phone sim which was a problem as taxis refused to take me as the hotel was nearby - not an easy walk as it was confusing, hot and difficult with road constructions. I also had need of a doctor but reception seemed unable to organise this. Otherwise the staff were helpful, giving...
This is our first time staying in this hotel in Nice and really really recommended. We really surprise with the big rooms and especially free wireless high speed internet is a must for foreign travelers like us. The business facility is also very good. There is a printer that we can use to print important stuffs. It's really worth the money!!!
The staff at this hotel was the friendliest and most helpful that we had experienced in France, especially the older gentlemen at reception, unfortunate i didn't get his name. They allowed us to check-in when we arrived although it was only 10:30am which i thought was pretty awesome. The decor is chic, and they have a lift! Rooms were spacious compared to our other st...
The hotel is very close to the main train station in Nice and you can get dropped off outside if you get the shuttle bus from the airport, so perfect for what we wanted. It is a 5-10 minute walk to seafront and the old town, so again really good. Staff were super friendly and helpful, and the rooms were wonderful, really beautifully designed and very comfortable.
Hotel situated at a good location.Kids love the nice and beautiful scene of coastal beach line
conveniently located hotel in easy walking distance of the railway station and the old city/beach front. although the outside looks a little tired, a warm welcome was forthcoming with detail information on the attractions of nice. we were offered a choice of rooms on either the first or fourth floor. our room on the fourth level had been painted and was clean. the room...
I had a wonderful stay in Nice and was glad that I booked Hotel Univers. The location of the hotel is great - airport shopping beach and dining. Everything was walking distance and the staff were very helpful when especially I misplaced a luggage. They went beyond their call of duty to help locate the luggage. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and would ...
We stayed 4 nights and we had dinner in the hotel restaurant on the last night. A little oasis in Nice away from the city noise eating under rubber trees in a beautiful garden. The food was of a very good standard. Have stayed in a three star hotel in Nice just down the road from The Windsor and The Windsor is by far superior. Will return definitely.
i stayed here for 4 nights and I would definitely come back. Even though we shared the bathroom (I was in the dorm), it was always clean and there was never timing issues.

We had an enjoyable 4-nights stay at the hotel. The staff was very welcoming and shared with us the great restaurants to try during our stay in Nice. The hotel is within walking distance to the city centre and old town and has a public carpark nearby to cater with guests with rental cars. Loved the city!

We are seasoned Nice travellers and this has been the best hotel we have stayed in by far. The position is great for everything Nice has to offer. Location is great to get to the train station to go exploring. Beach fantastic (at Rhul Plage) Loved would go back.
