ニース・ヴィル駅周辺のホテル厳選8軒 — コート・ダジュールの拠点

Hotel Mercure Nice Centre Notre Dame sits on Rue d'Italie, just 200 m from Gare de Nice-Ville and a 3-minute walk from the platforms, which makes it the closest hotel to the station on this list. The 200 rooms follow the current Mercure look in brown and grey, with a king or twin bed and double-glazed windows that keep the train and street noise out. There is a basement gym and a lobby bar, and ALL - Accor Live Limitless members shave 10% off. It scores 8.4/10, rates start around $154 a night, and it suits anyone arriving by TGV or running day trips along the coast — Monaco in 20 minutes, Cannes in 30 — by regional train.

Best Western Plus Nice Cosy is a 38-room boutique 3-star on Rue d'Alsace-Lorraine, just 350 m from Gare de Nice-Ville — a 4-minute walk with your bags. The look is grey-and-brown with fabric-padded headboards and marble bathrooms, and it reads far more expensive than the rate suggests. The 8.5/10 review score is the highest of any 3-star on this list, and rooms start around $111 a night. Tram L1 from Gare Thiers (a 3-minute walk) reaches the Old Town and Place Masséna in 8 minutes, and the coastal trains put Monaco 20 minutes away. It is the pick for couples and solo travelers who want a boutique feel near the station without paying 4-star money — the small lobby bar and the friendly front desk are what reviewers keep coming back to.

ibis Styles Nice Vieux Port sits on Boulevard Raimbaldi, 450 m from Gare de Nice-Ville and a 12-minute walk from Port Lympia, the colourful old harbour lined with seafood spots. The 119 rooms run bright and playful in the ibis Styles style — art on the walls, red-and-yellow headboards, pale parquet floors. The thing that sets it apart at this price is that breakfast is included in the rate, a big buffet with French and international plates. Rooms are compact at 14-17 sq m, which is standard for ibis, but a Family Room sleeps four and kids under 16 stay free with two parents. Reviews score it 8.2/10, and rates start around $91 a night with the breakfast folded in — which is what makes it the best-value pick on this list for families and couples watching the budget.

Holiday Inn Nice sits at 20 Avenue Jean Médecin — the main shopping street that runs from Gare de Nice-Ville down to Place Masséna — 250 m from the station, a 3-minute walk. The 131 modern rooms run 26-32 sq m, the biggest in this station cluster and roughly 60% larger than the 3-stars nearby. The real draw is IHG's Kids Stay & Eat Free policy: children under 13 sleep free with two adults and eat free too, breakfast plus lunch and dinner off the kids menu. There's a full gym and an all-day Open Lobby that rolls the restaurant, bar, coffee shop and work space into one. Score is 8.3/10 and rates start around $137 a night. It's the pick for families who want space right by the trains.

Hotel Vendome Nice is a 4-star boutique set in an 1870 building on Rue Pastorelli, right in the Carre d'Or — the most upscale district in Nice. The 56 rooms mix Belle Epoque with modern touches: 3-metre ceilings, tall windows, original parquet floors. The thing that sets it apart is a private garden inside the hotel — shaded by olive and other big trees, with benches, the kind of quiet retreat you rarely get in a city centre. It sits 600 m from Gare de Nice-Ville, an 8-minute walk and the farthest on this list, but the Carre d'Or address is why most people pick it. Place Massena is 5 minutes on foot. It scores 8.4/10, from about $126 a night. Best for couples and solo travelers who want the real Nice at a 4-star price.

Hotel Liberté is a small 3-star boutique of 45 rooms on Rue de Belgique, 400 m from Gare de Nice-Ville — a 5-minute walk. The decor runs modern in brown and grey, with soft beds, big windows and a small balcony in some rooms. The lobby bar has a warm feel and stays open all day, and reviewers keep calling the staff friendly. It scores 8.3/10, rates start around $97 a night, and it works well for solo travelers and couples who want a boutique near the station without paying a premium. Place Masséna is an 8-minute walk and Promenade des Anglais 12, so the beach and Old Town are both close on foot.

Hotel Splendid Nice sits on Boulevard Victor Hugo — 600 m from Gare de Nice-Ville and a 7-minute walk to Promenade des Anglais, which puts you within easy reach of both the station and the beach. The 127 rooms run cream and brown tones with marble bathrooms, but the real draw is the 8th-floor rooftop pool with views of the city and Castle Hill, plus a small spa with a hammam, sauna and jacuzzi that guests use free. There is a full gym, a lobby bar and a garden restaurant on site, and the staff handle English, French and Italian. It scores 8.5/10 and starts around $166 a night — higher than some station-area choices, but it buys you a pool and spa the other 4-stars nearby don't have.

Hotel Excelsior Nice is a 42-room 3-star in an 1900 building on Avenue Durante, sitting 150 m from Gare de Nice-Ville — a 2-minute walk, basically across the street and the closest hotel on this list. The interior mixes Belle Epoque with newer touches: 3 m ceilings, tall windows, cream-and-gold tones, and a real garden terrace where breakfast moves outdoors in summer. It scores 8.0/10 with rooms from $80 a night, which makes it the best value here. Tram L1 at Gare Thiers is a 2-minute walk and reaches Place Masséna and Old Town in about 8 minutes, and the coastal trains put Monaco 20 minutes away. Best for backpackers and budget travelers who want to wake up next to the station and use Nice as a base for the Côte d'Azur.
