Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Castle Hill

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.

Another standout is Château Hill Villa, a historic property nestled in Old Town Nice. 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.

Château Hill Villa is the top choice for honeymoons, featuring private terrace suites with panoramic views of the Bay of Nice and the Monte Carlo lighthouse. At night, candlelight and starry skies create a dreamy atmosphere. The hotel offers custom wedding packages, including outdoor ceremonies, champagne welcome, and dedicated butler service.

All rooms come with whirlpool bathtubs and French mattress beds, plus complimentary handcrafted chocolates and rose petal arrangements.

Another excellent option is Provence Garden Hotel, whose honeymoon sea-view suites feature smart lighting systems that adjust to your mood, paired with double spa baths and 24/7 room service. Both hotels are within a 5-minute walk of the Promenade des Anglais, perfect for morning strolls and sunset dinners.

Reserve at least three months in advance to secure preferred rooms and special amenities.

Hôtel la Pérouse Nice Baie des Anges

Staying at Hôtel la Pérouse was a delightful surprise! The ambiance is truly elegant and peaceful, and the actual property looks even better than the official photos—seriously, the pictures don’t do it justice. The breakfast spread was fantastic, with an impressive variety of fresh options, and the homemade pastries were exceptional—rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. One minor downside was the attitude of one of the breakfast servers—a very thin staff member who seemed distant and lacked warmth, which stood out slightly in an otherwise excellent experience. We also left a jacket behind, but given the high shipping cost, we decided not to go through with retrieving it. That said, it would be helpful if the hotel had a more accessible lost-and-found process. Overall, this place offers incredible value, beautiful surroundings, and a memorable stay. I’d definitely return.

Novotel Nice Centre Vieux-Nice

I was pleasantly surprised by how convenient this hotel is despite some mixed reviews online. Even though I arrived late at midnight, the location felt safe and accessible—just a 15-minute walk to the old town and beach, which is much closer than I expected. Yes, there were a few people sleeping near the parking lot, but it didn’t affect my stay at all. The room was clean, spacious, and surprisingly comfortable for the price—yes, some fixtures looked a bit dated, but everything worked well and the overall condition was excellent. Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially during breakfast when they went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast spread was generous and tasty. Public transport access is easy too—just a short ride to the city center. Overall, this place offers great value, comfort, and convenience. A solid choice if you’re looking for a relaxed base in Nice without breaking the bank.

Novotel Nice Arénas Aéroport

Arrived in Nice late at night and chose this hotel since it's the closest to the airport—definitely a smart pick. The free shuttle service made everything so smooth: after landing, I just called the front desk through the platform, mentioned which terminal I was in, and they arrived within 10–15 minutes. For departure, the shuttle runs every half hour—just show up at the front desk 10 minutes before departure, no stress. The room was spacious with a separate toilet and shower area, very clean and well-maintained. There’s a water dispenser on each floor near the elevator, which is super convenient. Plus, the hotel is incredibly quiet—perfect for a good night’s sleep. Getting into Old Town Nice is a breeze: just walk to the nearby train station, buy a ticket, and take a one-stop ride. Super easy, fast, and affordable. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value and great convenience, especially for travelers with early flights or late arrivals.

Hotel Villa Victoria

Staying at Hotel Villa Victoria in Nice was an absolute delight from start to finish. The moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and attention to detail—especially the heated towel rack in the bathroom, which made drying clothes almost instant. When checking in, I hesitated to mention the two young kids, hoping to sneak by with just a double room. But the front desk staff handled it with such kindness and understanding. Instead of pushing back, they happily added an extra bed at no extra charge, emphasizing their commitment to guest comfort. That small gesture truly stood out. We even enjoyed a little croissant during our afternoon check-in—a lovely touch. The hotel also provided a private storage room for our luggage, perfect for early arrivals or late departures. Best of all, it’s just a 5-6 minute walk straight to the beach—no detours, no hassle. The area is packed with great restaurants, cafes, and shops, making everything super convenient. For families traveling with young children, this hotel offers exceptional value and genuine hospitality. A top choice, without a doubt.

Hôtel Mercure Nice Marché Aux Fleurs

Staying at Hôtel Mercure Nice Marché Aux Fleurs was an absolute delight. Right outside the door, you're greeted by the sparkling Mediterranean Sea—just a short walk to the lively square and easy access to public transit for exploring the city. The room was spacious and bright, with a clean, modern feel. I loved the Nuxu toiletries—they gave off a subtle, fresh scent that left my hair feeling soft and naturally voluminous after washing. Since we visited during the shoulder season, the value-for-money was outstanding: no crowds, great rates, and a peaceful atmosphere. The breakfast buffet was fantastic—plenty of variety, from fresh pastries and local cheeses to seasonal fruits and made-to-order omelettes. Everything felt fresh and thoughtfully curated. If you're looking for a relaxing yet central base in Nice with genuine charm and excellent service, this hotel is a must-try. Highly recommend!

Hôtel Univers

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely unforgettable! Every single detail was perfect. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, and we were truly touched by the thoughtful surprise they prepared for our anniversary—such a sweet gesture that made our trip even more special ❤️❤️❤️. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast spread was delicious and abundant. The staff went above and beyond—they were warm, welcoming, and even spoke French with me to help me practice, which I really appreciated. From check-in to checkout, everything felt personalized and genuine. This place isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience. I can’t wait to come back again!

Hotel le Saint Paul

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.

Residence Club Inn

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.

Hotel Villa les Cygnes

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!
