Answer 1 :
Do you really want to worry about a laptop while on holidays? If you read the information about the hotel you'll see the Wifi is in the lobby, not in the rooms, so you won't have any privacy and might annoy other guests and/or hotel staff. Playing games and chatting at all hours could be a problem. All hotels, from cheap to really expensive, warn people about leaving valuable items in the room. So you need to work out what to do with the laptop when you go out. My advice is leave it at home.
Answer 2 :
No problem with your laptop here,just like any hotel in Europe you may get charged to access the internet through their wi fi, Can;t tell you about that particular hotel, There are quite a few intwrnet cafes here,so if you just need to pick up e mail etc that option maybe good for you. Have fun and enjoy yourself here, it is a beautiful part of the world.
Answer 3 :
Get a netbook. I picked up an Acer Asprie One (Linux vesion is fine for checking emails etc) on ebay for 120 euros. Weighing in at just 900 grammes (2 pounds), it doesn't add too much to your baggage so makes an excellent travel computer. Even though Nice is a great place (I go there regularly to visit the in-laws), it's good to be able to check your emails and get the English news. I find that hotels are evenly split between providing wifi free of charge or charging extortionate rates. You cannot usually tell from the hotel web site which is the case. But you can also generally find free wifi in cafes, so you can check your emails and chat on Skype while having a drink.
