Top Nice Hotel Reviews

Hôtel La Villa Nice Victor Hugo

10/10 Excellent

"Clean"

Le Meridien Nice

8/10 Good

"Central location, big modern hotel. A staff member explicitly told us the pool closed at 1030 and when I brought my kid to swim we were told quite rudely that the pool closed at 6. The rooftop becomes a bar and restaurant after 6 and that is open until 1030. Just miscommunications but not handled with warmth or apologetically. Meanwhile, the sea was too rough to swim in (so it was not a substitute for the pool at that moment) and the rude staff in fact denied that the red flag meant that the lifeguards deemed it unsafe to swim. It was so bizarre and I felt like the focus of this hotel was not guests but perhaps the bar clientele? Sad because I wanted to love it."

Hôtel Vacances Bleues Le Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Great place"

Albert 1'er Hotel Nice, France

8/10 Good

"Bad!"

Mercure Nice Promenade Des Anglais

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent déjeuner avec de la variété Le personnel est courtois et gentil Par contre la chambre au deuxième étage plus sombre mais belle et propre Il faut demander un balcon mais je voulais 2 lits pour ma fille et moi et il n’y avait plus de balcon à la réservation Je recommande cet hôtel avec une super localisation près de la plage et de la vieille ville"

Nice Centre Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Un service à la clientèle irréprochable. Les chambres sont propres et la proximité de l'hôtel au transport public et à la ville touristique de Nice est un plus."

Nice Pam Hotel

8/10 Good

"Easy to anywhere breakfast is good!"

Hotel Busby

8/10 Good

"The staff are friendly, and the breakfast is basic but offers a few choices. The rooms are quite large, and the hotel provides easy access to the beach and restaurants, and they have a locker to leave luggage after check-out."

Hotel Du Centre, un hotel AMMI

10/10 Excellent

"Great place if you just want to sleep in prime location in between beach and the train station. Jean Médecin is where it’s all happening so this was very convenient location. No amenities really, very tiny elevator for 2 people max not including luggages. Has AC which is/was a plus as it’s very hot here in August. Staff were beyond amazing from reception, room cleaners to the cafe staff downstairs. Rooms are tiny for the price but again, can’t beat the location. Right next to the Notre Dame Cathedral of Nice. Lots of restaurants right outside. Stayed here with family of of 4 total. Deluxe rooms have a double bed and another twin bed. You can also book a 4 person room that comes with two beds which we are moving to next and they face the cathedral that lights up nicely at night. Nice is very safe, went for walks from the hotel to the ocean, people don’t sleep here, always busy."
