Westminster Hotel & Spa Nice
All lovely, I had asked for a sea view and hoped for a balcony but think I Had one of the rooms with sea view and no balcony. The hotel was lovely, breakfast good, bed comfy, receptionists were friendly.

Le Meridien Nice
The location was good, we had the beach view but most of the fifth floor was under construction with terrible non stop noise. For a high end hotel with high prices it was extremely disappointing.

Lovely hotel good location

Fairmont Monte Carlo
The room was spacious and comfortable. All the staff I met were lovely and helpful. There were some on site construction works happening, and I thought perhaps for the drilling to start before 9 in the morning was a little bit disruptive to guests.

The hotel staff were superb. My room was spotless and I especially appreciated the lady who came by each evening to see if I needed anything like tea, milk etc. the breakfast was wonderful and I enjoyed the restaurant on a couple of occasions during my stay. A lovely hotel close to everything.
