Hotel 66 Nice

Hotel 66 Nice

📍 6 Rue de Belgique, Nice
★★★★ 9.3 (211 reviews)

"I was so surprised to find a hotel in France that offers free tissues, disposable slippers, unlimited bottled water, and hot coffee! It's super close to the train station, just around the corner, which is perfect if you're planning to visit Monaco or other nearby places. The hotel breakfast was also delicious; every little pastry was perfectly crispy, and the yogurt was great. The only downside is that it can get noisy at night if your room faces the street, so it's not ideal if you're an early sleeper. Also, be aware that they require a deposit upon check-in, and you can only pay by credit card – no cash or Apple Pay. Finally, Trip.com customer service was excellent 👍"

Albert 1er

Albert 1er

📍 4 Av. Max Gallo, Nice
★★★★ 8.9 (125 reviews)

"We stayed at Hotel Albert 1er for six nights in June 2026. The location is excellent — close to the beach and an easy base for exploring, if a moderate walk from Nice-Ville station. On that front, I’d happily stay in the same area again. Unfortunately, the hotel itself fell short. The lift was out of service on arrival, and the lobby was under refurbishment for the duration — neither of which we’d been told about beforehand. Access was via a temporary side entrance surrounded by hoarding. The room was the bigger issue. Street noise was loud enough to disrupt sleep, the bathroom had no ventilation and steamed up within a minute, and the shower base leaked, leaving the floor permanently wet. We reported the leak on day one and were told it would be fixed the next day; it never was. The room also lacked basics we’d expect at this price — no coffee facilities, robes, or adequate storage — and the sink drained poorly and had loose, failing caulking. The TVs blocked streaming apps, and satellite channels were French-only with no subtitles. Breakfast didn’t justify the cost: buffet-only with no table service, and food quality was poor — the scrambled eggs left both of us feeling unwell, and we found hair on the pastries one morning. The staff were pleasant throughout. But the overall experience felt like a hotel refurbished to a budget rather than to its guests’ benefit — noticeably below the standard of every other hotel we stayed at along the Riviera. On value, I couldn’t recommend it, and there are plenty of better-run options nearby."

★★★ 8.8 (144 reviews)

"The hotel's location is convenient for getting to nearby towns and the airport, but we were given a connecting room with poor soundproofing. The window in our room was tiny, and we couldn't even shower on our first night because the showerhead barely trickled water. They only offered to repair it the next day and wouldn't move us to a different room."

Hotel 66 Nice ★★★★
"Great location and attentive service! The complimentary 24/7 coffee bar is a really nice touch. However, the ground floor room is next to the neighbors' backyard, so it can get a bit noisy at night."

"The front desk staff were super helpful, even assisting with luggage, which was great. The elevator is a bit small, but the room itself was very clean. The shower pressure was incredibly strong, almost too strong, making it a bit difficult to shower comfortably."

Ibis Nice Aéroport Promenade des Anglais ★★★
"The room was a bit small, and so was the bed, but it was perfectly fine for two girls. It's very close to the airport, and there's a subway station right behind the hotel, making transportation super convenient. The windows are very soundproof, so you don't have to worry about the noise from planes taking off."
