Hotel Le Negresco

8/10 Good

"The hotel is beautiful and has an amazing collection of art. The food we tried was exceptional as were the cocktails. The bars are stunning."

Westminster Hotel & Spa Nice

10/10 Excellent

"Beach view room was very beautiful. Room was surprisingly very large which was nice. Property is set in an excellent location that allows you to really explore the city. Staff was very helpful in getting luggage in and out of the building. We did not make use of the amenities but definitely would come back and stay here."

Hotel Busby

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel, well situated ( nr the tram station ascal Lorraine) so an easy , cheap @ 10 euros return & quick transfer from airport. The staff are all polite & helpful & work hard esp the maids. Big thanks to Faruque for listening & sorting our room out. The hotel has a nice outdoor small area which was pleasant to sit out listening to the birds sing. Rooms are very spacious & clean, best 3* we have stayed at in Nice, most are v v small. The large airy lounge was comfortable to read & rest in. We never used the bar( v v small) or had breakfast there- lots of patisseries near by. Air con was great, needed at 30 degrees most days. We are definatly returning & re booking with Hotel Busby next May 27’ . Many thanks."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Nice

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very nice with a great view of the Mediterranean Sea. The only small issue was that there was not an exhaust fan in the bathroom so after showering it took a while to clear the steam from the room. The breakfast offering was excellent- much to choose from. Private beach access as well as Rooftop pool was a real treat. The pool/bar menu was also great. Would stay there again."

Albert 1'er Hotel Nice, France

10/10 Excellent

"Great location just a short walk to the beach and shopping areas. A fantastic amount of restaurants nearby which made things easy to find great options for lunch/dinner. Aircon was a boon in the extreme heat when we visited. Could be noisy at night as near to a park which held a festival when we were there but not a real issue."
