Staying at Ibis Nice Centre Gare was a great choice for me, especially since it's just a 2-3 minute walk from the train station. The location is unbeatable if you're planning to explore southern France by rail—convenient and stress-free. The room is compact, and the bathroom is on the smaller side, but honestly, for the price, it’s incredibly fair. I didn’t expect much given the budget-friendly rate, but the cleanliness, comfort, and proximity to transport made up for any lack of space. It’s perfect for travelers who prioritize location and value over luxury. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m passing through Nice.

I was initially hesitant after reading some mixed reviews, but considering my TGV departure to Paris at 8 a.m., being close to the train station was a top priority. Opting for a well-known chain hotel gave me peace of mind, so I booked four nights— and it turned out to be one of the best decisions. The room was quiet and clean, exactly what I asked for in my booking note, with no disturbances throughout my stay. Every morning, I easily walked to Antibes and Menton without needing transport. The train station is literally just a few minutes away on foot—super convenient. A straight path leads directly to the beach, making seaside access effortless. I didn’t experience any of the negative aspects mentioned by other guests—everything felt safe, welcoming, and well-maintained. Despite its central location near the station, the area feels secure and peaceful. For travelers who value convenience, comfort, and good value, this hotel is an excellent choice.

This Ibis Nice Aéroport Promenade des Anglais is an absolute gem for travelers visiting Nice. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the airport and within easy reach of the city’s main attractions, including the famous Promenade des Anglais. Public transportation is literally right outside the door, making it super convenient whether you're heading to the airport or exploring the vibrant city center. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and offers great value for money. Rooms are simple but comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Staff are friendly and helpful, providing a warm welcome and useful local tips. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a smart, hassle-free choice for any traveler.

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 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.

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.
