OKKO Hotels Nice Aéroport
Amazing stay located close to terminal 1, tram and buses at a reasonable price. The hotel room is aesthetic and clean, but nothing beats their lobby lounge that serves unlimited fresh juice, coffee and cake 24/7. Staff has been super helpful. The only downside is trying to drop off or pick up luggage ...
