novotel nice centre hotel

hi all,

my family and i are staying at the Novotel Nice Centre this weekend for 6 nights. it was only supposed to be for 3 but with the Aer Lingus strike we have had to extend our holiday(shame). has anyone stayed there before?

is it ok?

i have 2 children (6 and 10)

i have found out its about 20 mins walk from promonade.

does anyone know the area the hotel is in?

is it ok? are there nice restaurants/bars within easy walking distance?

how much would a taxi cost from promonade to the hotel?

what about bus numbers and times?

any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

I stayed at the Novotel about 3 years ago and it was a typical city chain hotel, the hotel is by the acropolis, a taxi to prom was 10 euros then, so inflation and all that. not sure now.

Cafe du Turin(super seafood retauant) not far,about 5 minutes walk, the walk to the old town is about 5/10 minutes, loads of nice restaurants in the Old Town.

Airport to hotel was 35 euros,bus no. 98,from platform 4 is 4 euros each,although there will be a 10/15 minute walk from bus station.

With children i would say its 30min walk to promenade.
