Radisson Blu Hotel, Nice
Hotel was good, however if looking to explore Old Town you are a 40 min walk away so not ideal on hot days. Area in front of hotel is wonderful but the street behind is not the greatest and dirty. Breakfast was fantastic!

Hôtel Vacances Bleues Le Royal
LOVED this hotel. It was within walking distance to Old Town, shops and several restaurants. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The room was amazing! Updated and very clean. The view of the sea was incredible to wake up to every morning.

Le Meridien Nice
Room not as illustrated on Hotels.com. listing implied partial sea view...our room did not have this. Although described as City View pi tures on listing had sea view. Very misleading

Hotel Busby
Breakfasts were good, fresh fruits, nuts, kiwis, croissants and coffee, etc. a good continental breakfast. The building is quite old, but in line with the Haussmann store
