Arriving early in Nice before hotel or Airbnb check-in: what to do with your luggage

Landing early at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) is common, especially with morning flights from Europe. But most hotels and Airbnbs only allow check-in from 3 or 4pm. 

What do you do with your luggage in the meantime?

Carrying bags around can turn your first hours in Nice into a struggle. Here are the main options and why luggage delivery makes your arrival much smoother.

Leaving bags at the hotel: not always possible

  • Hotels rarely accept early check-in, especially in high season.

  • Some may agree to keep your bags at reception, but only once you’ve gone there in person.

  • That means travelling from the airport to the hotel with all your luggage, then leaving again to start exploring.


City lockers: impractical on arrival

  • Lockers are available near Nice train station or in some shops.

  • You must go from the airport to the city lockers first, then later return to collect your bags.

  • This creates extra transport, wasted time, and more cost before you can even start enjoying your trip.


Airport storage: safe but not seamless

  • Nice Airport has official storage counters inside Terminal 1 and 2, operated by SafeBag.

  • It’s reliable, but it still requires you to return to the counter later.

  • For Airbnb guests, this often means another trip across the city just to retrieve luggage.
