Did not take any breakfast as Terminal one (with all the cafes and bakeries) is just across the street. Location is great as 5 mins and across the street, is the local Terminal 1 and a half hourly shuttle also takes 5 mins to the international Terminal 2. Location is slightly outside the town of Nice and so it is convenient to visit Monaco and Cannes. Car park is great if you managed to park in the hotel's own car park for a reasonable 15 euros per 24 hours. It also allows you to go in and out for free within the 24 hours.

Not enough receptionists as you have to wait a while before you clear the line for your turn.

We have stayed in the Novotel Nice Arenas Aeroport for many years, and it never disappoints. It is very convenient to the airport -- has an airport shuttle to terminal 1 and 2 but quick and easy walk to terminal 1. You can hop on Bus 12 to the Nice city center or catch the tram into town. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and quiet. The staff is friendly, helpful and very professional. Easy check in and check out. Reasonable prices. There is an excellent breakfast buffet in the restaurant or the option of a petit dejeuner in the bar area. The restaurant has a good menu for lunches and dinners.

Location was perfect - across the street from airport. Tram and trains equally close to take into Nice or Antibes and beyond. Bar and restaurant open most hours day and for dinner. Room refrigerator small but adequate. Shower, room size, bed, very nice. Water refilling station on each floor was fantastic!

I was in the room two different times when Housekeeping entered my room without knocking even though Do Not Disturb sign was on the door knob. I didn’t appreciate that at all.

The hotel is good. Surprised to see friendly staff. Diner is available until 11pm. Room was good on the 9th floor. Toilets in separate areas within room.

The hotel is situated across the exit terminal. However there is a highway separating it. One has to wait for a free hotel shuttle or use an underground passage way that I never saw. There is no proper instructions as to where you would find this free shuttle service. People will misguide you and provide wrong information. My advice is once you find the free parking shuttle you must telephone the hotel of your arrival. Otherwise you are likely to spend hours waiting. Taxis do not ply to hotel as it is short distance.

I am really grateful to the hotel team for making our stay special by decorating the room for my husband’s birthday! The hotel is very clean, and the staff are friendly and polite. We also enjoyed the breakfast—it was tasty and had a great variety of food. The location is excellent as well; you can even walk to the airport.

However, I didn’t like the fact that there were no rubbish bags in the toilet or room. Since we were traveling with a baby, we had a lot of garbage, and she kept pulling everything out of the empty, lightweight bins. Another odd thing is that the hotel feels a bit plasticky, with not enough fresh air. Lastly, the window design was strange—our room had very small windows, and an empty wall was covered with curtains to make it look better. Maybe it was just our room, but it felt a bit off

The location was perfect for my needs—fly into Nic, spend the night(s), use the free shuttle to the airport, and catch a bus at Terminal2 to my final destination . Also in reverse—the bus arrives at Terminal 2, I spend the night(s) at Novotel Arenas ,free shuttle back to airport, and I fly back home. When I stay for more than one night, the Tram is easy to catch at the airport for travel to popular spots. So, the location is great for me, but it is second to the kind, professional staff who do what they can to accommodate every need. I will always stay at the Novotel Arenas when in Nice.

The only comment I would make is the confusion about the shuttle service to the airport. I spoke to 3 different people working at the desk and each had a different process. 1. Come down 5-10 mins before shuttle leaves (every 30 mins), no booking necessary 2. Book a time for the shuttle 3. Call before you come down The problem was, I came down for 4:30am, another client was waiting as well. We proceeded to the shuttle vehicle and when I told the driver I was to go to Terminal 2, he said no! To wait until 5 am shuttle. I was confused and asked the desk clerk and he just shrugged his shoulders. Please be consistent in your communication to ensure that clients can plan accordingly. Thank you.

+The location is a 3-5 minute drive, probably a 15-20 minute walk. +Private parking, 16 euros per day. +Double windows, non-existent noise (at least on the back side). +Comfortable beds. +Modern look, new furniture. +/-Minimalist breakfast, but with fresh and tasty products. -BIG minus: No slippers (available only for executive rooms). In my opinion, slippers are a hygiene necessity, not a fad. -The floor in the room is not washed/vacuumed. One more reason to have slippers. -No minibar in the room. -Relatively small room.

Very clean rooms. Ours was on the top floor with a great view over the sea and airport. Proximity to the airport terminals (10-15 mins walk to terminal 1). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy access to Nice city centre via tram line.

It's a minor thing, but the ridiculously tiny paper cups for teas and coffees. The fact that we were unable to access other floors with our key card. If you are travelling in a group or larger family with multiple rooms, you may want to ask for rooms on the same floor.

When I fly into Nice, I will always stay at this Novotel at the beginning and at the end of my vacations in France. The location is perfect for me. I really appreciate the free shuttle service to the airport, BUT, more importantly, the staff is friendly and accommodating. I had pleasant conversations with Anastasia (forgive possible misspelling). She was very compassionate when learning that my last vacation had suddenly turned from visiting close friends to supporting them through the sudden, unexpected loss of my friend’s husband a day before my arrival in Nice.) I left Nice to go to my friends for five weeks and when I returned to Nice to stay several nights before flying home, the staff was kind and interested in how I was doing. I’m grateful for the hotel’s help and attitude through a difficult situation. I look forward to staying there again and again in happier times.
