Résidence la Villa Léonie
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.
Best Western Hotel Lakmi Nice
My one-night stay at Best Western Hotel Lakmi Nice was absolutely delightful. The hotel is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from supermarkets and all major attractions. Breakfast was outstanding, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and featured a very comfortable queen-sized bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The staff went above and beyond: we were greeted with welcome chocolates and hot chocolate upon arrival, and it was always available whenever we wanted. They also kindly arranged a taxi to the airport the next morning—such a thoughtful touch. Every detail felt well-considered, making the entire experience exceptional. I’d highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.
Villa Saint Exupery Beach Hostel
Staying at Villa Saint Exupery Beach Hostel was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the beach and within minutes of the train station, making exploring Nice effortless. The surroundings are peaceful and beautifully maintained, with a charming, relaxed vibe that makes you feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—offering free hairdryers and 24-hour luggage storage without any deposit or coin-operated fees. It’s such a thoughtful touch, especially when you’re traveling light or arriving early. Everything felt clean, well-organized, and genuinely welcoming. This place truly delivers exceptional value for money. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nice—especially those who appreciate a quiet, authentic stay close to the sea.
Hotel Florence Nice
Staying at Hotel Florence Nice was an absolute delight! The room was modern, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable—definitely a great upgrade from older hotels I've stayed in before. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in smooth and even offering local tips that enhanced my trip. Best of all, the location is fantastic—just a 9-minute walk to the beach, perfect for morning strolls along the sea or enjoying sunsets with a cool breeze. It's rare to find such a well-located, clean, and welcoming hotel without the high price tag. If you're visiting Nice and want convenience, comfort, and charm, this place is a must-book. I’ll definitely be back!
Villa Bellabé
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!
Aparthotel Ammi Nice Lafayette
Staying at Aparthotel Ammi Nice Lafayette was an absolute highlight of my trip to Nice! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the city center and major attractions. What truly made it special was the kitchenette in the room; having the ability to cook simple meals like congee or light soups was perfect for our tastes, especially after long days exploring. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—especially the young guy who assisted with our luggage, always smiling and ready to help. It felt personal and welcoming. I was thrilled to win a bottle of champagne in their Christmas raffle—definitely a memorable surprise! This hotel exceeded all expectations and made our French adventure so much more comfortable and enjoyable. If I ever return to Nice, this will be my first choice without hesitation.
Ibis Nice Centre Gare
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.
Hotel Villa Rose
My stay at Hotel Villa Rose in Nice was absolutely wonderful. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help, making the experience feel personal and welcoming. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the train station, so getting around the city and heading to the beach was super easy. The room was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, with a great bed that ensured a restful night’s sleep. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and offered a good variety of options. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is calm and elegant, offering a peaceful retreat without being isolated. It’s clear that attention to detail matters here. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Nice who wants a cozy, reliable stay with excellent value. I’ll definitely be coming back.
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.
Residhome Nice Promenade
Absolutely outstanding! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach, and everything else you'd want—city center, airport, train station—is within easy reach. But what truly stood out was the rooftop terrace. Open, spacious, and offering stunning views, it’s the ideal spot to unwind with a drink in hand. We arrived earlier than check-in time, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly—they even upgraded us to a higher-category room at no extra cost! This kind of thoughtful service makes all the difference. If you're visiting Nice, this hotel is a must-stay. Exceptional value, warm hospitality, and a memorable experience from start to finish.
Aparthotel Ammi Vieux Nice
Staying at Aparthotel Ammi Vieux Nice was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The owner couldn’t have been more welcoming—offering local tips on must-visit spots and hidden-gem restaurants, plus helping carry our luggage upstairs. That kind of personal touch makes all the difference. Our room was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully designed with a full kitchenette, including a reliable fridge and microwave—perfect for preparing simple meals and saving money on dining out. What stood out most? They proactively moved us into the larger room we’d booked for the last two nights, without any extra charge, which felt like a genuine gesture of care. Initially it was a bit chilly, but the air conditioning warmed up the space quickly and efficiently. And the bedding? Absolutely heavenly. I swear I could’ve bought that duvet right there—it’s so soft and comfortable, I still dream about it. This place truly lives up to its 4.9 rating. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and authentic hospitality in the heart of Nice, this is it. 10/10 without hesitation.
Palais Hongran de Fiana
The location is absolutely unbeatable—right in the heart of Nice’s old town, just steps from a lively restaurant street and only 50 meters from the beach. The apartment was spacious, beautifully decorated, and immaculately clean. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality and helpfulness—always ready to assist with recommendations or local tips. We truly enjoyed every moment during our stay. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and charm. This place exceeded all expectations and definitely deserves a return visit.
