Staying at Villa le Nid was a delightful experience from start to finish. The apartment was spotlessly clean—something I always prioritize—and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Its location is perfect: just steps away from a tram stop and surrounded by convenient shops and restaurants. The only thing to watch out for is the Japanese-style staircase in the Jade apartment—be careful when navigating it. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, offering thoughtful suggestions on local attractions and hidden gems to explore. It’s clear they care about guest experience. This place has definitely earned a spot on my list for future trips to Nice. Highly recommended!
My week-long stay at Résidence la Villa Léonie from April 22nd to 29th was absolutely delightful. The property is perfectly located—just a short walk from the city center and literally steps away from the port, making it super convenient for exploring Nice. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby, and a bus stop right outside the villa, so getting around town is effortless. The apartment itself is cozy and well-equipped, though it would be nice to have a proper coffee maker in the kitchen. That said, the attention to detail and warm welcome from Clémence and her dad made all the difference. Their hospitality truly added a personal touch to the experience. This is definitely an address worth remembering—highly recommend for travelers looking for comfort, location, and genuine charm.
We came to Nice for my niece's wedding and were looking for a cozy place near family, something more personal than a standard hotel. A friend recommended Villa Bellabé, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The host, Christina, welcomed us with such warmth and a bright smile—immediately putting us at ease. Nestled among lush greenery and a peaceful garden, our room was pure charm: spotless, inviting, and thoughtfully designed with a small kitchenette and a stylish Italian shower in the bathroom. Everything was perfect—no complaints at all. They even provided shampoo, conditioner, body wash, coffee, tea, bottled water, and fresh linens that were soft and refreshing. Breakfast the next morning was an absolute highlight: fresh baguettes, croissants, chocolate croissants, chouquettes, butter, jam, multivitamin juice (perfect since I’m not a fan of orange juice!), cheese, and Nutella—just what you need to start the day right. But beyond the comfort and amenities, what truly stood out was Christina’s genuine hospitality. She goes the extra mile with little thoughtful touches and local tips that made our stay feel special. We loved it so much, we’re already planning to return soon!
My wife and I stayed for four wonderful days at this fantastic property, just a short walk from the city center and the seaside promenade. The location is unbeatable—perfect for exploring everything Nice has to offer. The hotel offers all the amenities needed for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. One highlight was the parking arrangement: we paid a small daily fee for a covered, secure underground spot, which made life so much easier—no more stressing about finding a place to park in the narrow streets of Nice. Plus, there’s a shared kitchen available for guests to cook meals, with a cozy dining area right next to reception. There’s also a free coffee machine offering espresso, cappuccino, hot chocolate, and milk—available anytime without extra charges. It’s such a thoughtful touch! Everything about our stay was excellent. Highly recommend this hotel for travelers who value convenience, comfort, and a home-like atmosphere.
Staying at Hôtel le Seize in the heart of Nice was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and all the shopping spots you could want. The hotel itself feels cozy and well-maintained, with a friendly staff who went the extra mile. It’s rare to find such a great blend of convenience, comfort, and charm in the city center. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Nice.
I highly recommend this hotel—I've stayed here multiple times and always leave feeling satisfied. The on-site restaurant is excellent, and the rooftop pool is a real highlight, perfect for sipping a refreshing cocktail while enjoying views of Nice. It's incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the Liberation tram stop and close to the main train station, making getting around town a breeze. Rooms are simple but spotlessly clean and comfortable. The staff are genuinely friendly and always ready to help. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this place offers great value and a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.
Arrived late at night and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the check-in process was—quick and hassle-free. The hotel's location is perfect, just a short walk from the city center and public transit stops. Rooms are clean, tidy, and tastefully decorated with a minimalist charm—nothing flashy, but everything feels well-maintained and comfortable. It’s rare to find such a quiet, peaceful stay so close to all the action. Highly recommend this gem for travelers who value convenience, cleanliness, and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely my go-to choice for future visits to Nice.
We absolutely loved staying at this charming boutique hotel tucked away in a quiet alley just steps from the city center and the Mediterranean Sea. The tram stop is only a few minutes’ walk away, and the peaceful surroundings mean zero noise disturbance—perfect for a relaxing getaway. Regine went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, treating us like family. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, the room was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the overall condition was excellent. With only four rooms, it truly feels intimate and personal. This is a standout choice for travelers seeking a quiet, authentic experience in Nice—highly recommended!
Staying at Hotel le Saint Paul was a great experience overall. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the city center and close to restaurants, shops, and tourist spots. The hotel itself is modern and well-maintained, with clean, stylish rooms. While the room size is modest and slightly smaller than shown in the photos, it’s still comfortable and functional. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the stay even better. The only downside is finding the entrance—it’s tricky if you’re driving. The main gate is on the roadside, but it’s set at an angle, and the narrow street has two large trash bins blocking the view, making it easy to miss. A small sign or slight repositioning of the bins would help a lot. Despite that, the hotel offers great value for money and is definitely worth considering if you're visiting Nice.
The Residence Share Inn by Regent delivers an outstanding value for money experience. The hotel is spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and offers all essential comforts—especially the fully equipped kitchen, which made daily living so much easier and more convenient. I particularly appreciated the complimentary luggage storage service on check-out day; it was a thoughtful touch that made my departure stress-free. Located right on a central pedestrian street in Nice, the hotel is perfectly positioned for exploring the city on foot—shops, restaurants, and public transport are just steps away. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to fellow travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and a great vibe.
This charming little gem truly has everything you need! The owner couple was incredibly warm and welcoming—always smiling, helpful, and genuinely interested in making our stay comfortable. What stood out most? A private parking space—an absolute rarity in the busy city of Nice. No more stress searching for a spot! The room was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully furnished, with all the essentials you’d expect from a well-run family-style hotel. It’s perfectly located—just a short walk to public transit and within easy reach of the city center. If you're looking for a personal, authentic experience in Nice that feels like home, this is the place. Highly recommended!
I stayed at Hôtel du Petit Louvre for six months, but unfortunately only managed to enjoy three of them. The staff were incredibly welcoming and always available whenever needed—truly a highlight of the experience. The hotel is remarkably quiet, making it perfect for studying or working on a project without distractions. The rooms are well-equipped with modern amenities and comfortable furnishings. I truly hope to return one day; this place has become a little home away from home. From the peaceful atmosphere to the attentive service, every detail contributes to an unforgettable stay. If you're looking for a serene and well-maintained base in Nice, this is definitely the place to consider.
