What to do in Nice
From Nice: Eze, Monaco, & Monte-Carlo Half-Day Trip
"The Busby hotel is very Centrally located in Nice making it easy to site see all over within 10min or so. They have amenities for going to the beach if you don’t. The staff is nice."
"The room was clean but very small, so keep that in mind if you’re traveling with a lot of luggage. The bathroom could use better maintenance, as there was visible mold in the shower grout. One important thing to know is that there is no elevator. I was only informed a few days before my trip, and I think this should be clearly disclosed on the Expedia listing. I didn’t have much interaction with the staff, so I can’t really comment on the service. Overall, it’s a good choice for the location...
"Great location and value but not a luxury property. Room had a strong odor upon arrival. Felt dated and tight fit. Staff was nice and gave you free croissants."
"An oasis in Nice! Good size and well appointed rooms. Great location close to the beach and old town. Easy to get to from the airport. All in all, it was an excellent stay and we would have liked to have stayed longer."

This isn’t always the case in Europe so we were very happy with our choice. The hotel is perfectly located, a two minute walk to the beach and just around the corner from upscale shopping and many casual restaurants. We...
"The hotel is nice and modern. Love the separated bathroom and shower area. Only one bath towel hook and hotel doesn’t seem to bother to fix. Found someone hair wax left there upon our arrival and no toilet roll left for us upon arrival"
