Albert 1'er Hotel Nice, France
Great hotel location. Everything is nearby. The hotel itself is really nice, the elevator needs an upgrade but other than that it was great stay. Loved my room and view.

Radisson Blu Hotel, Nice
Un séjour parfait. Les chambres sont très belles. J'ai eu la chance d'être surclassé avec vue mer, ce qui a rendu mon séjour vraiment merveilleux. Un grand merci a Pascal que j'ai eu lors de mon check in et qui m'a réservé un super accueil. Très agréable et très professionnel. Grave a ce surclassement ...
