Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Nice
For most international travelers, Nice Cote d'Azur Airport (NCE) serves as the primary and most convenient gateway, located directly within the city limits and offering seamless tram and train connections. While Monaco Heliport (MCM) provides an ultra-fast, albeit premium, arrival experience in a neighboring city, it remains a specialized transport hub rather than a general commercial airport. The remaining options, including Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA) in Italy, Hyeres Airport (TLN), and Marseille Provence Airport (MRS), are located in neighboring cities and serve different regional needs. Travelers arriving at these distant airports should prepare for significantly longer transit times and higher costs associated with regional rail or coach connections. Choosing the right airport often involves balancing your flight schedule and carrier availability with your budget and desire for comfort. For those prioritizing efficiency, sticking to the primary hub is highly recommended to avoid the logistical challenges of cross-regional travel.

Nice City Center Nice|0.44km from city center
Fantastic hotel with great location. Rooms were lovely with a terrace. Lovely touch at night with a turndown service. Chocolate and gold eye masks. Spa and rooftop pool were great especially after a long day sightseeing. Rooms cleaned to perfection and all fresh towels and bedding. Staff were fantastic especially Samantha who checked us in. She was friendly and gave plenty of recommendations for eating and heading out on day trips. She also brought balloons and welcome champagne as it was a special trip with a lovely card from the hotel staff. She was amazing and is a credit to the hotel.
Location 7mins to the beach and 7mins to the train station. Perfect for exploring the coast.
Will be returning to the hotel in the near future. Thank you for a special stay.FromUS$577

I want to pat myself on the back for choosing this hotel; it was truly excellent. The location, service, cleanliness, and food were all impeccable. If you do choose this hotel, definitely include breakfast! You can see the ocean, and watching happy corgis stroll along the beach while you eat just makes you feel like a wonderful day is about to begin. The croissant was the best I had on the entire trip! The room had a bathtub, which was perfect for soaking away the fatigue after walking all over Nice. The bed was incredibly plush and guaranteed a good night's sleep, and if you're someone who hates being woken up by the morning sun, there are shutters on the window that you can close. The location is right in front of the sea; just cross the street and you're there. Place Masséna is about a 15-minute walk, and there's a laundromat about 5 minutes away. This is definitely a hotel I'd want to stay at again the next time I visit Nice!FromUS$259

The hotel is located near Place Masséna, a very lively area. There are many restaurants, cafes, and bookstores nearby. It's also close to the sea, perfect for walks and sightseeing. The breakfast was delicious, and the service was friendly and prompt.
Unfortunately, the streets were extremely noisy on the second night, making it almost impossible to sleep from midnight until dawn. Of course, this is beyond the hotel's control.
Overall, it was a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.FromUS$249

Superb hotel in a great location. Next to the old town and the port and less than a five minute walk to the main bus stops. Modern, clean and quiet bedroom with excellent facilities and a really nice breakfast offering. Staff are pleasant, friendly and very helpful. I stay in Nice regularly and often stay here and would recommend highly to anyone. All and all, great value in a very convenient location.FromUS$145

The room was quiet and had a balcony, but being on the fifth floor, the water pressure was a bit low. The breakfast was a standard continental offering, sufficient for a morning meal. A unique touch was the popcorn available in the lobby – very distinctive! It's a 10-minute walk to the beach and 5 minutes to Nice train station, located in a quiet area with restaurants and a supermarket nearby.FromUS$178

The room was pretty good by European standards; we could open two suitcases, and it was quiet at night. The partial sea view was quite layered and actually very beautiful. The drainage was a bit clogged, but the hotel staff handled it quickly. The front desk had basic professional etiquette, but by domestic standards, they weren't particularly warm. However, the room overall was nice, and the stay was generally acceptable.FromUS$600

The location is superb, right between Avenue des Anglais and Avenue du Théâtre. It's within walking distance to Castle Hill, the beach, the old town, the square, the flower market, and the food street. The room size is moderate, and the breakfast is simple but good, featuring smoked salmon. The service attitude is excellent. However, water wasn't provided daily. I was lucky enough to see the drone fireworks show for the World Ocean Conference, and Nice's beaches were packed with people.FromUS$266

The most obvious advantage of the hotel is its location. You can see the sea right outside, which is quite comfortable. There are also many restaurants to choose from around. There are no minefields in the room. The price-performance ratio is ok. I went there during the off-season. The front desk also asked if I wanted to upgrade to a sea view room at a discounted price.FromUS$768

Perfect location for exploring Nice. Our room lacked basic maintenance, the bathroom extractors did not work, the overhead shower did not work and the heated towel rail was stuck on maximum making use of the toilet beneath uncomfortable. The breakfast was good value with plenty of choice. The staff were mostly great except the women at the pool bar in the evening who was very rude and condescending. I would stay here again purely based on location.FromUS$256

Nice Waterfront Nice|0.22km from city center
Great hotel and location but not necessarily a 5 star service for reasons as follows:
1. It took 6 hours for our luggage to be taken to our room (it was only 2 rucksacks) which we would have happily carried up to our room ourselves but they insisted on check-in for us to leave for them to do.
2. The rudest restaurant hostess Valentine we have ever met in our many years of travelling and dining - when my husband asked to book a table for dinner, she failed to look up from her notepad and barked loudly and aggressively the words ‘WHAT?’ at him.
3. Restaurant clearly understaffed in the evening and being carried by a few superb waiting staff, namely Ken, whilst others swan around busy with little impact. Food was great and timely (once you could order it).
4. Tried to order a bottle of wine with dinner - Two of the four white wines on the menu were out of stock.
Clearly some teething issues with this new hotel, understaffed and poor communication and training. A few excellent staff too. But seemed to lack any meaningful or visible leadership in key client facing areas, which the brigade seemed to need.FromUS$850

Nice Old Town Nice|1.07km from city center
Firstly, I'm rating all my recent hotels together, so I've completely lost faith in Ctrip's hotel rankings. I'll mention other hotels later, but this one truly deserves its title as the number one in Nice. After rejecting numerous beachfront hotels, I booked a room with a large arched terrace. Beautiful sunset, a bottle of Grand Cru white wine, a comfortable balcony sofa, chatting with my daughter – it was unbeatable! However, in these room photos, there are actually three suites with sizes around 55-75 sq m or even larger. I think this one is definitely the best, but on the day of check-in, we were given a terrace room with a significantly different view and no sunset. The room itself wasn't particularly special either. Even though it was the off-season, the hotel gave us our dream room at 5 pm on the first day. So, you need to confirm before and after booking. Staying here was perfect for Nice. Picture one is the balcony from the first day; it might be comfortable in summer with the grapevines providing shade, but it's not very useful. Picture two is the one I highly recommend; the balcony is connected to the room. Furthermore, as a hotel enthusiast who appreciates various unique and luxurious hotels, most of the hotel staff were incredibly attentive.FromUS$850

We had a truly wonderful stay at Maison Albar Hotels Le Victoria.
Upon arrival, we were thoughtfully upgraded to a single-occupancy room for our 3-night stay, as the twin room category was fully booked — a gesture we really appreciated. The room itself was exceptional. The mattress and pillows were among the most comfortable we’ve experienced, ensuring a great night’s rest throughout our stay. We also enjoyed the balcony, which added a relaxing touch to the overall experience.
The service was outstanding — attentive, warm, and consistently professional. The team truly made us feel well taken care of.
Location-wise, it is perfectly positioned in the heart of the city. Luxury boutiques such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Balenciaga are just a few steps away, with many other shops and attractions within easy walking distance — extremely convenient for both shopping and exploring.
The only area for improvement would be the gym facilities, which are relatively limited. However, we easily found a well-equipped local gym just a 2-minute walk away, offering a great alternative with a more complete setup and lively atmosphere.
Overall, a fantastic stay with comfort, service, and location all coming together beautifully. We would definitely return. ✨FromUS$932
