Hostel was alright. It was just 2 nights so it\'d did the trick. Kinda small rooms, and the whole room stunk like rotten eggs if you left the bathroom door open. And the beds are terrifying. Try to get a top bunk, or you\'re going to spend the night thinking the person on top of you is...more Hostel was alright. It was just 2 nights so it\'d did the trick.

Being on the south of france obviously is a bonus during May - the crossover of Spring/Summer when it's nice and hot but not too hot! the beaches are golden and a great placer to pick up a tan on the sandy beaches. Recommended taking Flip flops or Sandels as the Sand is VERY hot. Bring some money for the Ice-cream van thats outside and for a drink to stay hydrated. For those of you that are more active or jsut to give the kids something to do, buy a bodyboard or snorkel with goggles - so that way they're entertained. They'll be able to see as the waters are fairly clear! highly recommended to do at one point or another. When your done - grab a bite to eat in a nearby resturant!close

I seriously miss being in Nice~ Almost to the point where I wish I hadn\'t gone. Not really, i\'d go back~ But, you get the point. It\'s amazing! The closest thing I can compare it to would be the Miami of Europe. The beaches during the summer (when i was there) are absolutely...more I seriously miss being in Nice~ Almost to the point where I wish I hadn\'t gone.

Looks very shabby around the Train station. People are friendly though. Met a guy on a corner of the street who noticed we were tourists and gave us loads of tips. He was from Essex who lived in Nice whilst his family have moved to Montriel in Canada. A lovely fella with a sad tale. My first...more Looks very shabby around the Train station.

Nice is a great place to spend a few days. For a little fun in an unusual way, head to the Carol de Roumanie park where you can catch a game of mini-golf, or climb the hill over-looking the port to see a great panorama and a giant cascade.

For a little fun in an unusual way, head to the Carol de Roumanie park where you can catch a game of mini-golf, or climb the hill over-looking the port to see a great panorama and a giant cascade. If the weather is great, head to the beach but be sure to bring a comfortable towel or rent a chair from the various "private beaches" because Nice beaches are made of rocks! If you tire of Nice, you can take a bus ride from the bus station to Monaco and Monte Carlo for just € 1,30.close

A huge chunk of its main attractions are currently overshadowed by this massive overhaul in the main streets. Barricades and inefficient transportation system can make for an unenjoyable time but do take in the beach. Take a day trip to Cannes, Antibes, Eze Village, Cap d'Ail or to other towns.close

Was really looking forward to visiting this area, but what a dive. Dog crap everywhere, extreamly rude people, drivers who refused to stop at crossings. Overrated and Overpriced! Sorry but the only thing going for Nice was its resturants - found a fabulous Indian and a Turkish resturant in the old part of the city, but all the glitz and glitter was very tanish and very tacky - made the Gold Coast at home (Aust.) look fantastic. If this is where the wealthy spend thier money - then thier wasting it! We stayed 3days in Nice (in pre-booked and paid for accom) and was glad to see the back of it and the coastal strip when we left - As for the rest of France - FANTASTIC - absolutely loved it !!!!!close

Other than clubs and restaurants there doesn\'t seem to much to see culturewise in the city however I\'d recommend going a bit out of the city to the province of Monaco for great sightseeing of the world\'s richest people.close

Nice has nice places to eat and a nice vibe. For those of us from countries with beautiful beaches, it may be a bit disappointing (limited space, pebbles not sand etc).

For those of us from countries with beautiful beaches, it may be a bit disappointing (limited space, pebbles not sand etc). Easy access to spots on the Riviera is a plus - e.g. Monaco, Cannes. Generally, all these places are a bit overrated - heaps of dogs, heaps of rich people, shops and tourists. Nothing to write home about - but pleasant enough to pass a few days. Visit some of the smaller seaside towns for a more authentic and enjoyable experience.close
