Top Nice Hotel Reviews

Albert 1'er Hotel Nice, France

8/10 Good

"Some had written about the small rooms and the smell from the bathroom. I experienced both of those. I was a solo traveler so the size of the room was manageable. The smell was not consistent nor did it keep me up at night; again, also manageable. The hotel was very convenient to walk into old town or to the beach. The hotel itself was clean and the bed comfortable."

Hotel West End Nice Promenade

10/10 Excellent

"Spent 4 nights at this hotel with my daughter. The room was larger than we expected and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and accomodating, and the breakfast was a great start to our morning! I would defintely stay here again without hesitation. The view was spectacular and the beach club associated with the hotel was also lovely. I was surprised when I got an email offering to help plan our itinerary. We used the service and found it to be very helpful when figuring out how to spend our time in Nice."

Campanile PRIME - Nice Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Cet hôtel m'a réconcilié avec l'enseigne. Un bon accueil. Une chambre assez spacieuse et rénovée très grand lit confortable. Télé immense. Nespresso. Restaurant correct. Cjambre côté arrière au calme. Parking 18€. Petit déjeuner plutôt cher."

Hotel Byakko Nice

8/10 Good

"Clean and well managed. Good central location near the railway station , the promenade etc. Bolt very useful for other places further afield."

Hôtel La Villa Nice Victor Hugo

8/10 Good

"Lovely Boutique Hotel in a Perfect Location! My sister and I stayed here in mid-September, and we had such a lovely experience! The hotel has a beautiful, intimate boutique feel, with elegant decor and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our stay. I highly recommend adding the breakfast buffet to your reservation. It’s a great value for the price, with a full breakfast and plenty of options. You’ll likely spend more eating breakfast at nearby cafés, so it’s definitely worth it. The terrace is also a beautiful spot to enjoy your morning. The location is one of the hotel’s biggest highlights. You’re surrounded by lovely restaurants, luxury shops, and local bakeries, and the beach is only about a 7–10 minute walk away. The neighborhood felt very safe, and it was easy to get around on foot or arrange Uber pickups. One thing worth mentioning is that the walls are quite thin, as some other reviews have noted, so you can occasionally hear noise from neighboring rooms. Since our stay was relatively short, it wasn’t a major issue for us. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! Between the beautiful ambiance, attentive service, excellent location, and boutique atmosphere, it felt like an elevated hotel experience without being overly formal. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Nice!"

Hôtel Aston La Scala

10/10 Excellent

"I booked this hotel because it has beautiful views of the park, is a 3 minute walk from the beach and has 24 hour concierge. The hotel was very helpful with my pre-stay requirements. On our stay, the hotel staff were knowledgable and helpful. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Nice."
