Provence Garden Hotel is a top choice, located just a 5-minute walk from Castle Hill Park. With its Mediterranean-style architecture, the hotel features panoramic terraces overlooking the Bay of Nice. Guests enjoy sunrise views over the Côte d'Azur and evening vistas of the city’s glowing skyline. Many rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, while select suites offer private balconies with unobstructed sea views.

Its rooftop terrace is renowned as one of the best viewpoints in the city, perfect for photography or romantic dinners. Both hotels provide complimentary shuttle services to downtown, ensuring easy access to restaurants, shops, and attractions. Ideal for travelers seeking charm, comfort, and breathtaking scenery.
The easiest way is to take Bus Line 12 or Tram Line 38, both stopping just steps from Castle Hill Park entrance—just a 10-minute ride to Cours Saleya Market and Cours Mirabeau. For a more scenic option, descend via Rue de la Mère de Dieu, a 15-minute walk to Place Masséna, passing charming cafés and art galleries along the way.
The park also features a free accessible elevator connecting upper and lower levels, ideal for seniors and strollers. Use the Nice Côte d'Azur Transit App for real-time schedules and optimized routing.
For a local experience, rent a Vélo'v bike from the station outside the park—just 12 minutes to the city center, passing through Rue Grasse and the Jewish Quarter, offering a vibrant taste of daily life in Nice.
Must-try activities include morning yoga sessions (held every Wednesday and Saturday on the viewing platform, led by certified instructors with sea breeze and city skyline views); nighttime light art exhibitions (annual summer event combining projections and ancient ruins for an immersive light show); and Mediterranean herb tasting tours guided by local farmers through the park’s medicinal garden, where you’ll learn to identify lavender, rosemary, and thyme.
The park also features a family picnic area and children’s interactive sandpit, perfect for kids. Every Friday evening hosts outdoor jazz concerts against the backdrop of Nice Harbor’s night lights and the Eiffel Tower-style lighthouse—a truly romantic setting.
Book tickets in advance, especially during peak season, via the Nice Tourist Office official website. Nearby workshops on ceramics and French pastries offer deeper cultural immersion into Provençal traditions.

Staying at this hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Nice! The view from the balcony is simply breathtaking—directly overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Every evening, I'd unwind with a drink on the balcony, watching the sun dip below the horizon while listening to the gentle waves. It’s peaceful, serene, and incredibly relaxing. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and close to public transport. The staff are friendly, the room is clean and well-maintained, and the overall experience feels like a true getaway. If you're visiting Nice, don’t miss out on a sea-view room—this place truly lives up to the 10/10 rating.
The breakfast was varied and plentiful—great for starting the day right. The tram stop is literally across the street, making travel around Nice super convenient. Staff were professional and responsive throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the hotel bar was closed in the evening during our Easter visit, so we had to head over to Novotel for dinner and ended up enjoying an excellent cocktail there—definitely a highlight of the night. One small downside: no toilet brush in the room. It’s not just inconvenient for housekeeping but also awkward for guests. A simple fix that would make a big difference. Overall, though, the location, service, and value are outstanding—definitely a place I’d recommend and return to.
The location couldn't be better—just a short walk from the beach and right in the heart of Nice. The apartment was well-equipped with everything we needed, including an iron and ironing board, which made packing and unpacking a breeze. I especially loved the rooftop solarium on the 8th floor—perfect for relaxing with a drink while soaking in the Mediterranean sun. There's also a laundry room, which is super convenient for longer stays. Everything about this stay was top-notch, from the cleanliness to the friendly staff. Highly recommend this property if you're looking for comfort and convenience in a prime spot.
This hotel is absolutely stunning! Located just a short walk from the beach, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring Nice.

I booked a single room, which isn’t huge, but every inch of space is used smartly—no clutter, everything has its place, so it never felt cramped. The shower worked perfectly, the air conditioning was efficient, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—great for a good night’s sleep. What really stood out was the front desk staff: friendly, attentive, and always smiling. They greeted me warmly every time I came in or left, which made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. It’s rare to find such a high level of hospitality combined with excellent value.

We stayed at this apartment for five days in September 2022 and had a wonderful time. The unit was clean, well-furnished, and fully equipped with all necessary appliances—including an iron and ironing board, which was a nice touch. It’s located right in the heart of Nice, just steps away from the pedestrian zone, making it super convenient for exploring the city on foot. There's a paid parking option nearby, which is great if you're driving. The bed was a bit too soft for my taste—maybe a firmer mattress would be better—but overall, the comfort level was still good. One small suggestion: adding an extra towel for the face would have been helpful. Despite that, I’d highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Nice. Great location, excellent value, and a truly enjoyable stay!
I initially booked just one night, but ended up extending to two because the price was too good to pass up. This hotel has quickly become my favorite stay in France so far. Located right next to Nice Ville Train Station, it's incredibly convenient for getting around—just a short walk to the city center or the airport. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with modern amenities. The bed was especially cozy, making for a great night's sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

The staff are friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. Whether you're here for relaxation or exploring Nice, this hotel delivers everything you need. A standout stay that I’d absolutely book again.
