Hotel Carlone
My uncle booked this hotel for us because it was close to his apartment, and honestly, before arriving, I was really nervous about the cleanliness and staff attitude based on some of the reviews I’d read. But I was pleasantly surprised—everything was spotless. I even walked barefoot around the room, which says it all about how clean it was! It definitely feels recently renovated. The front desk staff was nothing like what the descriptions suggested—despite our late arrival, the gentleman was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely approachable with a warm smile. I rarely leave reviews, but this time I felt compelled to share my experience. If you're hesitating due to the mixed feedback online, don’t be—this place is absolutely worth staying at. You can go in with your eyes closed and expect a great stay.
Apart-Hotel Riviera Old Port
Staying at this apartment hotel was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Nice, just a short walk from the Old Port, shops, restaurants, and public transport. Despite being so central, it’s surprisingly quiet and peaceful. The layout is smart: three spacious bedrooms across two floors, plus a bathroom on each level—perfect for families or groups. The kitchen is a real highlight—fully equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, and plenty of counter space. We cooked most meals here, which saved us money and gave us more flexibility. The only thing to note is that there’s no elevator—just stairs—but we were aware of this before booking, so it wasn’t an issue. Overall, this place offers comfort, convenience, and great value. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone 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.
Hôtel le Seize, Nice Centre
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.
Hôtel & Appartements Monsigny
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.
Bristol Nice
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.
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!
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 Share Inn
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!
Hôtel du Petit Louvre
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.
OKKO HOTELS Nice Aéroport
I stayed in Nice for three days and was really impressed with this hotel. The price is significantly more affordable than hotels in the city center, making it a great value option. Located just a 10-minute walk from the airport and not far from the train station, it’s incredibly convenient for travelers planning day trips to nearby towns or needing easy access to transportation hubs. The room design is modern and cozy, with excellent cleanliness throughout—felt very comfortable and relaxing. Breakfast was consistent over two days: a simple but delicious croissant that stood out. I also adopted a budget-friendly habit by packing in extra fruits and vegetables each morning—great way to stay energized without overspending. Overall, considering the location, comfort, and pricing, this hotel offers solid value for money, especially for short stays or transit travelers looking for a reliable base in Nice.
