The French Riviera is considered an expensive holiday destination. However, it’s quite possible to find affordable accommodation in Nice. The minimum you’ll have to pay is around 23–30 EUR per night for a local hostel. Such lodging can be found in the city centre, near the railway station, and in the northern part of the resort.
The cost of staying in a B&B or a one- to two-star hotel in Nice starts from 50–80 EUR per night. Most of these accommodations are located along the Promenade des Anglais, in the city centre, and to the north and east of it.
The majority of hotels in Nice have three to five stars and are typically situated along the seafront, in the central part of the city.
Accommodation in such hotels starts from 100 EUR per night, while prestigious establishments charge at least 220 EUR. The closer it gets to the holiday season, the higher the prices — often two to three times more.
The cheapest deals can be found at the end of January and the beginning of February. By March–April, most rooms in Nice for June–September are already booked.
