Family Hotels in Nice – My Advice
- Nice is my favorite town along the south coast of France. Beautiful, family friendly, great food, fun atmosphere. The only drawback is it has a pebble beach (not sandy) – but the swimming is still great and there are good beaches within an easy train ride which make for fun day trips.
- The best hotel for families in Nice is Goldstar Resort & Suites.
- The best budget hotel for families is the Aria.
- The best apartment rental (kitchen, living room, washer/dryer) in Nice is Black & White (we stayed here last summer and loved it – great for families and perfect location).
