What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express - Nice - Grand Arenas by IHG, guests praise the walkable airport access, clean modern, well‑insulated rooms and generally friendly staff, while repeatedly citing basic or uneven breakfasts, confusing paid parking, and occasional air‑conditioning problems.

The immediate area offers little beyond transit, so some guests use the adjacent Crowne Plaza restaurant, sometimes with a discount. Comfort is solid for short stays, though mattress firmness varies and several rooms lack fridges. Overall, expect a convenient, no‑frills airport stopover.

This new property would get 5 stars except for the fact that it’s difficult to get to, difficult to park and hard to transfer your luggage from the parking garage to the hotel. There’s no where to park a car near the reception area to check in, you must park in the shared garage with the Crown Plaza next door. Nice facility, just inconvenient and exhausting.

Very difficult to drive the area. Only one parking spot available next to the hotel that was used when we arrived. Only option was to use the parking of the hotel. It is free for 5min which is obviously not enough time to check in the hotel, so we had to pay parking just to get it in. Not cool to start with that sort adventure. Rest of stay was OK

The parking area for this hotel was an underground garage not attached to the Holiday Inn so you had to walk outside and around the building to enter the garage for your car. Also it cost $22 E to take your car out to use it and then return to the hotel. The laundromat is a long way from the hotel, but it is very cost efficient, pay 1 e to park for 2 hours though.

Stayed two nights Nov 2023. Location near airport and train station is really good. Very easy to walk to hotel from Airport terminal 1, from terminal 2 you need to take free tram to terminal 1. The building holds two hotels, and entrance to Holiday Inn Express is on the right side as you approach from the airport. Check in was fine after a wait. Room was an average HI express room, not brand new, but not severely dated either. Breakfast was ok, but if you go after the first hour, not everything is restocked. Selection was fine for an included breakfast, but would expect more if paying extra. My room did not get serviced after the first night. I literally waited in the lobby after my HOHO bus tour as they were finishing. Reported it to the desk and they said everyone had already left, it wasn’t even 5pm, and they couldn’t do anything. They did not apologize in the least or just ask me if I needed anything. It wouldn’t have taken so little for me to walk away happy. Another rep didn’t even finish checking me out before helping another customer as I stood there. Some of the staff is likely new and needs customer service training.

Nice and comfortable stay. Room was a good size and clean as was the bathroom. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast and the staff continually replenished what was available and always kept the breakfast room clean and tidy. Good location as the hotel is next door to a train station which easily enabled day trips to other places on Cote d'Azur. My room was very quiet and could not hear outside despite being very close to the busy airport, next door to a train station, tram line running past the hotel and my the room being near the neighbouring hotel restaurant outdoor area. So the hotel room I stayed in was very well soundproofed.

A very long wait a check-in (+20 minutes). We had reserved a double room with a queen size bed but we were given a room with twin beds after it appears that the woman at check in decided that because we were two men of an obvious age difference that we couldn’t possibly be a couple (we are married). At least she should’ve asked. Later (before 22:00) I went to the lobby to buy water and the woman at the desk told me that they were closed and “besides I’m too busy checking people in.” NOT a good experience!

For an overnight near the airport this is great hotel. It’s a simple 300 metre walk on a pedestrian walkway to terminal one. Free accessible tram gets you there from downtown Nice and will get you to terminal 2 in 5 minutes. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room and beds were very comfortable. Breakfast exactly what you would expect from a chain hotel.
