The team at Le Riviera Collection—especially Noreen, Isa, Diame, Claudia, David, and Charles—went above and beyond with their warm hospitality. They didn’t just offer excellent service; they genuinely took time to share insider tips on local gems, from hidden cafes to the best times to catch the sunset along the Promenade des Anglais. Their thoughtfulness made our stay feel personal and memorable. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach and the vibrant heart of Nice. Every detail, from the welcoming atmosphere to the thoughtful touches, made this a standout experience. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nice.

Just a quick walk from the tram stop that picked us up at Nice Airport—super convenient. The front desk staff greeted us warmly and professionally, setting a great tone right away. Our apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, stylishly decorated, and incredibly comfortable with well-maintained amenities. It felt like a home away from home. We’ll definitely be returning here on our next trip to Nice—highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxed, high-quality stay in the heart of the city.
Hôtel Nice Beau Rivage
Staying at Hôtel Nice Beau Rivage was an absolute highlight of my trip to Nice. The location couldn’t be better—it’s perfectly situated between Promenade des Anglais and Avenue de la Grande-Motte, putting me within easy walking distance of Castle Hill, the beach, Old Town, Place Masséna, the flower market, and the bustling food street. I loved how central everything was—no need for long commutes or taxis. The room was just the right size, clean, and comfortably furnished. Breakfast was simple but satisfying, especially the smoked salmon—fresh and delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to help. One small note: water wasn’t replenished daily, but that didn’t detract from the overall experience. What made the stay unforgettable? I got to witness the drone light show during the Global Ocean Conference—a breathtaking display of synchronized drones painting the night sky with vibrant patterns. It was magical. Of course, the beaches were packed with tourists, which is part of the charm in Nice—vibrant, lively, full of energy. If you’re looking for a great base in Nice with unbeatable access to everything, this hotel is a top pick.
Best Western Plus Hôtel Massena Nice
I ended up staying for two weeks—truly couldn’t bring myself to leave! The location is unbeatable: just a short walk from the train station and right in the heart of Nice. I was initially hesitant to book a 4-star hotel, having mostly stayed at 5-stars before, but this place completely exceeded my expectations. The room was spotless, with fresh linens, modern decor, and excellent air conditioning. Everything felt clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful—going above and beyond by assisting with restaurant reservations and offering local tips. There’s free Wi-Fi, a small fitness center, and even a self-service laundry area, which was a pleasant surprise. Despite being a 4-star property, the quality rivals many 5-star hotels I’ve stayed at. For the price, the value is outstanding. I’ll definitely be returning next time I visit Nice.
Nemea Appart'Hotel Riviera Nice Aéroport
This was an excellent stay overall! The apartment-style room was spacious, clean, and very well-maintained—perfect for a short trip or even a longer visit. Located just minutes from the airport and close to the Mediterranean coast, it’s ideal for travelers who want convenience without sacrificing comfort. I loved how easy it was to walk to the beach and enjoy the sea breeze in the evening. There are plenty of dining options nearby—great for everything from casual meals to authentic French cuisine. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. One small note: a deposit is required, and while the website mentioned it would be refunded, the refund process took longer than expected—it took a full day to confirm. Still, this minor delay didn’t take away from the great experience. With its unbeatable location, good value, and warm service, I’d definitely book here again if I’m returning to Nice.
Mercure Nice Promenade des Anglais
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. The room faced the sea directly, and every morning I woke up to the stunning view of the Mediterranean—pure magic. The balcony is a real highlight, even though it has a layer of soundproof glass that slightly reduces the open-air feel. However, it doesn’t take away from the breathtaking ocean views. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the entire room was spotlessly clean. I especially appreciated how quiet the space was, thanks to the thoughtful design. Located just steps from the Promenade des Anglais and close to public transit, getting around Nice was effortless. It’s rare to find such a well-balanced mix of comfort, location, and value. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to fellow travelers.
Hotel la Villa Nice Promenade
Staying at Hotel la Villa Nice Promenade was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the sea, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere that makes you feel like you're truly on vacation. I loved how easy it was to get around; the city center and main attractions were just a short walk or quick metro ride away. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night's sleep. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered, from the modern amenities to the thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and local treats. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality—always smiling, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. I especially appreciated how smooth the check-in and check-out process was. And of course, the beachfront setting is perfect for morning strolls or sunset views. Whether you're here for relaxation or exploring the vibrant city, this hotel delivers everything you need. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience. I’d happily return in a heartbeat.

Complimentary drinks and light snacks were always available, and all the essential amenities were provided without hassle. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. They even shared local tips on hidden gems around Nice. The location is perfect: just a short walk to the beach and a quick metro ride into town.

The staff went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable and memorable. A special thanks to Elizabeth Ilyina for her incredible support—she was always there to help, handling every detail with professionalism and warmth. Her dedication truly made a difference. Every aspect of the stay felt thoughtfully designed, from the cozy rooms to the welcoming atmosphere. This is definitely a top choice for anyone visiting Nice.
Résidence Aston La Scala
Staying at Résidence Aston La Scala in Nice was a highlight of our trip, mainly thanks to the unbeatable location. Right in the heart of the city, it’s just a short walk from Old Town, the beach, and all the local shops and restaurants — perfect for families exploring on foot. The apartment was spacious and well-equipped, comfortably fitting our family of four with plenty of room to relax. That said, check-in wasn’t smooth — despite arriving after a long overnight flight with kids, we were told the unit wasn’t ready at 4 PM. We had to keep checking back with front desk staff, who weren’t particularly welcoming or helpful, which added stress to an already tiring arrival. Still, the excellent location and quality of the accommodation make this a strong choice for travelers wanting a central base in Nice. It’s definitely worth considering if you value convenience and comfort.
Student Factory Nice Gare Sud
The check-in and check-out process was super simple and quick—no waiting, no hassle. Being just a short walk from the train station made getting around town effortless. I really appreciated the straightforward service and the overall value. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for convenience and comfort without the stress.
Adagio Nice Centre
I was really happy with my choice of staying here! The one-bedroom apartment comfortably accommodates up to four guests, perfect for a family trip. Right across the street is a Carrefour supermarket—super convenient for grabbing groceries and cooking our own meals. It’s a bit of a walk to the beach, but Nice is small enough that it only takes about 15 minutes on foot, and the neighborhood is wonderfully quiet. My daughter mentioned the bathroom is a little far from the shower area, but honestly, it didn’t affect our stay at all once we got used to it. Cleanliness overall was good, though no housekeeping service came during our visit—so we took care of cleaning ourselves, which worked fine as long as you bring your own supplies. The staff at reception were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Everything we needed was well-maintained and functional—the facilities are excellent. All in all, this place offers great value, comfort, and a peaceful atmosphere. Definitely recommend for travelers who appreciate a home-like feel with easy access to local amenities.
