SOS.....I need to know of a good hotel in Nice...thanks! Marilyn
Accor hotels, a far-flung chain, has a nice mid-level hotel, the Ibis Nice Centre Gare, for 81 Euro per night for 2 people. It's next to the railway station. Clean and comfortable accommodations. See http://tinyurl.com/yv5h7l for details.
I'm booked to stay at Hotel Grimaldi in July, it was within my budget, close to restaurants, the Promenade Anglais and the beach.
Check out TripAdvisor.com for recommended hotels, go online to their websites, then it's a matter of how much you're willing to spend and the amenities you want.
When are you going? That makes a difference in availability and price, as August is vacation time for a lot of the French people and I've read that it is very difficult to get accommodation near the sea at that time.
Bonne chance!
In his 2005 guidebook RS describes the Hotel Le Clemenceau as a "spacious two-star hotel that feels like a three-star." My wife and I and our adult daughter spent five nights there in 2005 and we would agree. The hotel is located between the Nice Ville train station and the beach. See www.hotelclemenceau.com.
