Top hotels in Nice City Centre
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.

Albert 1'er Hotel Nice, France
Perfect location for walking to explore city, room was very nice and staff very helpful with any request Only complaint was shampoo was a combo shampoo conditioner and didn’t feel like it rinsed well so left hair feeling heavy, I would stay again and just bring my own shampoo 😀

Hotel Busby
I had a really nice stay at Hotel Busby. The location is excellent — about a 7–10 minute walk to the Promenade and the beach, and roughly 10–15 minutes to the train station, which made getting around very easy. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff was friendly and very helpful throughout ...
