Le Meridien Nice
Excellent location with amazing views. The room was well designed, spotless and spacious. The breakfast buffet had a wide array of options, all of high quality, and was regularly replenished. The staff do a fabulous job at keeping every element of the stay at an exceptional level.

OKKO Hotels Nice Aéroport
No privacy shower. The shower was bizar. It's not private except for shaded glass. In other words the shower was not inside the bathroom. We decided not to stay another night because this was so weird. But on a positive note, very clean, comfortable bed and walkable to the airport.
