The staff were very efficient especially Matt, the rooms very very clean and the beds super comfortable. Breakfast was a good mixture of hot and cold foods with plentiful supply, I really recommend this hotel for a trip to Nice.
It is a very convenient location for an overnight stay for the airport and there is a train station to the rest of Côte d’Azur and à tram stop to everywhere in Nice. The tram to airport is also free from that stop.
Amazing location near to the tram for the airport and the train station for getting into Nice and beyond. Lovely and clean, and friendly staff. Quiet and great air con. Breakfast was very basic but ok for our 3 nights stay.
Very comfortable. Everything modern and clean. Friendly welcome at reception.
I liked the 15% discount when I had dinner at the Crown Plaza.

Well located for easy access to main resorts.
Well postioned hotel easy to reach from the airport and then easy access to trains and trams to see all the main resorts of the area. The hotel is modern with good facilities and acceptable breakfast buffet.
The property was clean and well maintained. The breakfast was good and had lots of healthy options. However, the beds were uncomfortably hard and the water pressure in the shower was non-existant.
This was a one night stay as we had to catch an early flight. Fantastic hotel, had all we needed including a nice little breakfast to hold us over.
Location is a black from the tram to the airport, and also a block from the train stop.
Close to train station and airport. Convenient for one night. Bed was quite hard. Room was clean. Breakfast was basic and not very appealing. Staff was helpful.
Our stay at the Holiday Inn Express Nice ,France was excellent and the service too.The breakfast was very good considering it was included in the price of the hotel.

We stayed at Holiday Inn Express Nice – Grand Arenas by IHG, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The hotel is spotless, modern, and extremely convenient — perfectly located near both the airport and the train station, which makes it ideal for travelling around.
But above all, what truly made our stay special was the wonderful staff. A special shout-out to Aurora at reception — she is an absolute gem! She went above and beyond for us throughout our stay, always ready to help with a smile. When our tour operator didn’t turn up, she took the time to assist us, helped plan alternatives, and made sure we were okay at every step. Her kindness and professionalism made our trip so much more enjoyable.
We couldn’t be more grateful — highly recommended!
Perfect location frkm airport, the front desk staff is very friendly, professional and informative. The breakfast is the best and it's why i love holiday inn express.
