Hotels in Nice, France

Which neighborhoods in Nice should I stay in if I want access to public transport?

Most of Nice’s transportation is provided by busses and trams. You can also purchase bus tickets to the neighboring towns in the Cote d’Azur, such as Cannes or Antibes. Although public transport is affordable and accessible from most places around in the city, if you want to stay in a neighborhood that is central to all the main attractions so that you won’t have to travel far, we recommend staying in Jean-Medecin, or New Town, where you’ll find various attractions. Another great neighborhood to consider is Gambetta, which has loads of open-air plazas and great coffee shops. Both neighborhoods have ample access to public transport, including busses and light rail trams.

What neighborhood in Nice should I stay in based on why I’m traveling?

If you’re looking for hotels in Nice that are near all the nightlife of the city, then we recommend booking a hotel in Jean Medecin. You can book a room at Nice Massena, which offers clean, comfortable rooms in the heart of the city. However, if you want to find Nice hotels that are close to the Promenade des Anglais, the Radisson Blu Hotel, Nice is right on the seafront and has its own pool. Budget travelers who are looking for cheap hotels in Nice that are still central should consider Hotel Du Centre, which is clean and modern, with free Wi-Fi, or the homey Chez Brigitte Guesthouse.
