La Perouse hotel

Comment

'Sea view' from lower floors can be very limited- but fantastic from upper floors- particularly corner room 410- one window looked out to sea, one window looked straight along the Nice sea-front. slightly quirky hotel-lots of stairs/lifts, and the jacizzi is on the roof. great if you want a change from the 'multiple/chain' hotel. restaurant not cheap. get breakfast in your price if you can- or use one of the local cafes for your coffee and croissants in the morning. clean, confortable.

2 minutes from flower/antique/friut market in the 'old town' quater of Nice.(artists area) - the bit with real character/charm- narrow streets etc. Loads of restaurants- massive choice of sea food and other restaurants- often with well priced 'fixe-price'offers- but watch out for the cost of wine( 20 euros+) and beer( we paid 8 euros a glass!), if you choose this quaint tourit area to eat in.Hotel at the foot of 'castle hill'- worth the walk up for the site/remains of the medieval castle, site of a more recent chateau, and 360' panoraminc views of nice/coted'azur. 10 mins to bus station( 1 euro a trip), 30 mins walk to train station though. Taxi from the aiport cost us 30 euro- we are not quite sure if this was a genuine meter reading or not. the bus will take half an hour and cost 4euro. would stay here again , definately

bar and restaurant rather expensive and in-room mini bar prohibitive but can easily purchase wine/ water/snacks etc outside and put in the fridge.
