HOTEL & APPARTEMENTS MONSIGNY, Nice

The hotel sits on a quiet, semi-pedestrian street right at the edge of the lively Libération district. The Nice-Ville train station is a 5-minute walk, and the Libération tram stop is directly outside. From there, tram line 1 takes you to Place Masséna, Old Nice, and the Promenade des Anglais in about 7 minutes. The beaches are a 15-minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is full of shops, the large Cours Saleya flower market, cafés, and bakeries. The Chagall and Matisse museums are within a 10-minute stroll. For those driving, the hotel is 20 km from Monaco and the A8 motorway is nearby.

All rooms are air-conditioned, heated individually, and fitted with soundproof windows, quality bedding, a safe, and free Wi-Fi.
