Nice, France, Hotels or self catering?

[holidaysarenice]

hey all,

i am going to Nice in June for a long week/end 4 nights with my mum! i am looking for a nice hotel, or apartment to stay in, would anyone have any recommendations? Hopefully it shud be pretty central, and ideally I have about 400-500 quid to spend which i know in Nice may not go far....

all suggestions loved!!! xo

We have booked the Hotel Suisse for 3 nights in Sept for our 10th Wedding Anniversary. It gets good reviews on Tripadvisor and the sea views look amazing.

I am also planning trip to Nice with Mum and two kids in June for 4 nights. Any recommendations for decent, close to beach, family resorts/hotels/apartments not too far away from Nice? We don't plan on hiring a car so will have to organise transfers from Nice airport. And if it wasn't in Nice, it would have to be westwards - we don't want to go towards Italy as we are there to visit family who live near Cannes.

I can recommend Hotel Suisse too. Close to the Cours de Saleya/old town/chateau and that end of the beach.

Doyourworst - Antibes/Juan Les Pins are lovely and have lots of beachy type apartments. 15 mins in a taxi from Nice airport.

I live near Nice so don't have experience with hotels, but just wanted to say that it is a lovely place for a long weekend with your mum, OP

Hotel Suisse is very near the old town of Nice (Cours Saleya, pedestrian streets, restaurants, little shops) and the beach, but I've always wondered if it is not too noisy to sleep in, because it is right on the road.

doyourworst - Juan les Pins is indeed very nice, with lovely beaches. Antibes is a bit too big and doesn't have much of a beach (known for its large marina).

Why not stay in Cannes? It is a great place, with beautiful beaches. Small town but very vibrant.

Portofino.. have you stayed at the Hotel Suisse, have we made a good choice??!!

I have booked a priveledge room and requested one on the 5th Floor, I thought the traffic noise might be better from there and I really wanted a balcony!!

It was a few years back - but we enjoyed it.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Unfortunately, the Hotel Suisse is booked out for the days I'm looking at. Any more specific family accommodation recommendations I could look into please in the Nice/Cannes area?

We booked an apartment in the old town, it was ?450 for 4 nights, I will see if I can find the link...

Here it is. It was really lovely, enjoy Nice, its my favourite place in the whole world!

Oh have just seen its for a family, the old town might be too noisy for you. Villefranche Sur Mer is wonderful, I don't know any other bits of Nice as apart from trips to Monaco and Villefranche, we stayed in the old town....

melodypondering, thanks for the link. I found a place on that website, so it's all worked out well. It's 500m from the beach in Mandelieu and has three bedrooms and a shared pool, so ticks all the boxes.

Starting to get excited now!

Oh fabulous you will absolutely love it!

i LOVE Nice, although gets very busy in the summer

Thanks everyone, for the help. Leave next week and soooo excited.
