Radisson Blu Hotel, Nice

10/10 Excellent
"The property is well maintained, clean and centrally located, with friendly staff. It is directly across the road from the water and they have a private area with loungers and umbrellas. Outside the backdoor the tram can easily and cheaply take you very close to old Nice. If you gamble, there are two casinos within a 30 to 40 minute walk. I wouldn't necessarily include their breakfast as there are numerous restaurants, bakeries and cafes within 5-15 minutes on the street in back of the hotel to the right (Californie). There are plenty of dinner options on this same stretch, many open late. We especially liked Casa Lasagna and LA Maganan."
