We stayed at Holiday Inn Express Nice – Grand Arenas by IHG, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The hotel is spotless, modern, and extremely convenient — perfectly located near both the airport and the train station, which makes it ideal for travelling around. But above all, what truly made our stay special was the wonderful staff. A special shout-out to Aurora at reception — she is an absolute gem! She went above and beyond for us throughout our stay, always ready to help with a smile. When our tour operator didn’t turn up, she took the time to assist us, helped plan alternatives, and made sure we were okay at every step. Her kindness and professionalism made our trip so much more enjoyable. We couldn’t be more grateful — highly recommended!

Why did the maid only leave us with one bath & face towel? We had to ask reception for more which was prompt. Why put us in a room opposite the lifts when one of them screeched when in use? Why didn't the kitchen staff not understand my request for gluten-free bread (meantioned in French) then did not understand & said no?

Close to aeroport, quiet location. We felt its cold in the room, and asked to switch off air-conditioner, cleaner was switching it on everyday, I felt that our message wasn’t heard, after long day out, I wish to comeback to comfy room and bed but didn’t feel like this.
