Hi can anyone help i am looking for nice hotel in good location for a good price, i want to explore the coastline but would like to be based in Nice any help would be great!!! thanks....
Nice is fantastically expensive - what do you mean by 'a good price' ie how many € per night?
Ballpark figures for Nice:
Hostel: 20-30 euro a night
1 star: dont!
Two star typically: 50-80 euro a night
three star typically: 120-150 a night
four star@ typically: 250+ euro a night
The new top floor suite at Majestic Barriere, Cannes: 30,000 euro a night
Which of these would you consider a "good price"?
Iam thinking 3* at around £100 per night...
Have a look at Le Vendome, rue Pastorelli,Nice, for the dates you want and numbers per room, to fit your price. Location is great and it has a little French style. I have used it to put up family and its been absolutely fine.
Ignore reviews - every hotel whatever the price sometimes has a surly waiter, a receptionist who has an off day, and guest expecting four star service at three star prices, and a proprietor who posts fake positive reviews. I find they are really no help at deciding anything.
Its fine.
I enjoyed Villafranche...quick bus ride from Nice and right on the water. Stayed at Hotel Welcome. Train stop right there to Monte Carlo...etc. local bus takes you into Nice. Lots of good places to eat right on the water.
Yes don't disagree The Welcome is in a fantastic position, in Villefranche, but the high-season prices are 200 euro plus - 50% over budget.

The principle is simple: do you want to spend your money on a fancy address, or a modest room and spend what you save on hotel charges on travel and eating out. I have no problem with either approach.
Or perhaps like Oscar Wilde - my needs are simple, I am simply satisfied with the best.
This is probably the most famous part of Nice. For more than a century, people have been flocking here to walk along the famous boardwalk des Anglais.
The seashore is also lined with an impressive selection of luxury hotels, the most prestigious of which is the Négresco.
The Negresco is the unique landmark of Nice and the Promenade. Designed in the best Belle Epoche style by architect Edouard Niermans it opened in 1912, and remains Nice's most luxurious address.
Inside it boasts a chandelier that is twin to one in Moscow.. and its restaurant, Chanteclair is almost certainly the most expensive in Nice.
Photographed countless times by every visitor, it still raises the spirits every time you see it. Pictured here a little unusually, when its night time illumination bulbs were briefly changed over to mimic the tricolor of the Italian flag.
Even if you only know a few words, do try and speak in French when addressing people. I always think it's only polite to atleast give it a go, even if you are only quoting from a phrase book! You'll find that people are much more willing to help you than if you just presume that they speak English. More often than not they will realise straight away that you can't speak French and will switch to English anyway!
go to the bus station and pay for a rt ticket to monte carlo. it's cheap, buses arrive every 30 minutes or so, and it only takes 25-30 minutes to get there. if not just to see the spectacular homes along the way, the view is also stunning because the bus takes a coastal route and winds through the town of eze.
i hear eze is worth stopping for along the way...but i have never been.
This "Off the beaten path" tip needs more than a little shoe leather - more like 50 minutes on the 400 bus out of Gare Routiere, Nice, to the picture postcard medieval walled village of St Paul de Vence, and then a kilometre walk to this fascinating world class centre for modern art and sculpture, the Fondation Maeght.
Ferdinand Leger works are in abundance, along with many other "modernist" artists and sculptors. The building is a work of contemporary art in itself, turning the gallery inside out with its surroundings on a wooded hillside.
Dont miss the Braque pool with mosaic fish pattern on its floor, the poignant purple stain-glass bird window above the crucifix in the chapel, and some really quirky and thought-provoking contemporary sculpture and art.
Not everyones cup of tea, but if you like this sort of thing, you will find here a lot of things you will like.
