Finding A Place To Stay In Nice

By: Gaizka Pujana

Tourists to the area can stay in accommodation ranging from budget hostels to luxury hotels. They can also stay in a number of different areas in Nice from the waterfront to inland or in the old city area of Nice. Tourists must decide on the area that they wish to stay in, the type of accommodation that would suit their needs at the budget that they have to spend on accommodation. Once these choices have been made, you can then look into booking somewhere to stay on your trip.

Hotel accommodation in Nice ranges from two to five stars. A two star hotel is likely to be a budget hotel with the minimum of amenities. A five star hotel is a luxury hotel and a number of these can be found, especially along the waterfront. Five star hotels in Nice are regularly quality assured and due to this you can trust that these hotels will maintain the highest standards. There are over one hundred hotels near the Nice city center that tourists can choose from.

Tourists to Nice can choose to stay in a spa hotel. These combine the best aspects of hotel accommodation with relaxing spa treatments and a peaceful atmosphere. Nice is also known for its romantic hotels. Honeymoon packages can be booked at these. Nice also offers business hotels that cater for those who are in the city for business purposes. They offer all the amenities that a businessman could need such as business meeting facilities and conference planning needs.

Typically, while the more up market hotels can be found along the waterfront, budget accommodation options are generally found inland. The Windsor is a hotel with artistically decorated rooms and it is known to be somewhat stylish. If you are after something small and quaint, the Felix hotel is a small hotel that is owned and run by a couple. It has balconies that overlook the rue Massena.

Holiday apartments are also available in many areas of the city and these may prove to be more within many visitors' budgets. These may be particularly well suited for groups or families who are visiting the city. They offer more space and privacy than the hotels. It is also possible to get a better feel for the city staying in a rental apartment as they are self-catering so visitors will have to become accustomed to shopping and cooking the local food.

Hostels are available around the city. You can find both youth hostels and backpacker hostels and they tend to be more competitively priced than other accommodation options in the city. Many discounts can be found for hostel bookings, particularly if you book them over the Internet so it is worth looking into them before you arrive in the city. Some hostels, however will not allow to you to book in advance and you will have to arrive in the morning to receive a number if you want to ensure yourself a bed. They may also only allow you to stay a minimum number of nights.
