Villa Otero by Happyculture

The hotel is located an 8 minute walk from the tram, a 10 minute walk from the city centre and 15 minute walk from the beach. It is in a good location with shops and restaurants located close by. The decor is nice, very quirky and staff are friendly and helpful. After check in we went to our room and found that the shower door was partially hanging off in the bathroom. We unpacked and after getting comfortable on the bed, a man opened the door and walked in. He said he was the technician to fix the shower. He had no regard for the fact that we were partially clothed in the room. The phone then rang and it was the hotel reception saying that a mistake had been made and we had been given the wrong room. We asked for someone to bring us the correct room key instead of going back downstairs like they had suggested. We asked to speak with the manager but no one came to speak with us about this situation. Overall the stay at the hotel was pleasant. There were ongoing roadworks taking place on the street outside the hotel which went on until late in the night too.

Good location, great price, large rooms (by European standards)

Comfortable, convenient for the station, quiet- i could not hear the trains. It has a very inviting lounge area, with coffee and soft drinks. I was travelling solo for business so i like to stay somewhere more homely.

Staff very friendly and helpful, good location, good amenities, clean room

Location was within walking distance of all attractions and close to train station. Loved our balcony.

Nice place. Helpful pleasant staff. Nice choice at breakfast.

Very enjoyable stay. Not very central to main part of Paris on foot but overall situated in good neighbourhood

We stayed here the night we flew in before heading further down the coast. Villa Otero was just what we wanted; great location, good rooms, and a lovely breakfast. The staff were welcoming and could not have been more helpful. The table football was a bonus!

Hotel reception staff was very polite and helpful. However, I would say hotel housekeeper was not well trained as my room was not well cleaned throughout my stay (e.g. hair/dirt on the ground remained at the same spot throughout my stay). When I just check in, there was no toilet paper in the bathroom and the two bottles of complimentary water were not given in the room (however the reception staff were helpful and quickly provided these to me when I told them). There were initially 2 big towels and 2 small towels on my first day, but everyday after housekeeping some of the towels would have gone missing and not being replaced (e.g. on my third day there was only 1 big towel left in the bathroom). Also, the facial tissue in the bathroom was never refilled/replaced by the housekeeper. The hotel is very close to the train station and suitable for people who consider travel a lot to nearby villages by train. However, it’s quite far from Nice old town and would take about 15-20 minutes walk there depending on your walking speed. Post office is nearby the hotel too and could be handy to mail post card. Some nice bakery shops are also nearby the hotel and good for quick breakfast before setting off to nearby villages if not taking breakfast in the hotel. All in all, it’s a good place to stay.

Very close to the train station - about a 5 minutes walk. However it is quite far from the rest of Nice - beaches, shopping area etc. But it is walkable - around a 15-20 minutes walk to the beach. And you have to walk to find the tram, bus station etc. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. On the lobby floor - which is where you also eat breakfast - after breakfast, they turn it into a refreshing corner with water, drinks and some snacks. The rooms are nicely decorated - however we found it a bit dusty and the bathroom door was very hard to pull and push.
