How can I get cheap hotels in Nice?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Nice.

If you're looking to travel to Nice on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $57. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $294. Staying a short amount of time in Nice is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Nice, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
When booking cheap hotel rooms in Nice, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Nice, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.
For additional savings on Nice cheap hotels, be sure to check out Expedia Rewards. You may be eligible for extra discounts on your trip, and you can earn points for even more savings on your next trip. Becoming a member is entirely free.

Find cheap hotels in the most important neighborhoods of Nice and enjoy your stay.

Albert 1'er Hotel Nice, France
5/5 Excellent
"This is a great old hotel that has been nicely remodeled. We had a balcony room, and it was wonderful to be able to sit on the (small) balcony and look over the gardens across the street and the bay. Very helpful staff. The only problem we encountered during our stay in April was that the room was too warm, and the air conditioning was not on. We spoke with two other guests who had the same problem, and the staff said that the AC would not be turned on until May. I suppose that is eco-friendly, but it is not very guest-friendly. We solved the problem by leaving the door to the balcony ajar, so it was not big problem, but our neighbors did the same and were kept awake by street noise. Otherwise, we were extremely pleased with the hotel, which is located right next to the Old Town and just a block from the Promenade des Anglais. Highly recommended."
