We loved our stay here for a number of reasons but some highlights were the lovely service and helpful staff, the complimentary coffee machine and filtered water which you could help yourself to at anytime and the afternoon snacks. We loved our stay so much and Nice itself that we ended up staying longer. The rooms varied in size but were fine for a short stay. They were also clean.

Near the central station is the positive point. The outlook convinced me to book the space but inside is not much to appreciate. As a budget hotel, it is ok. The lift and floor level are horrible.

Very convenient to the train station which was my purpose in staying here. The crowd is not touristy around here as a result. Found that I was able to take the lift up rather quickly. I ended up taking the stairs down often due to time. The sounds echo throughout which challenged and early bedtime. The water pressure was perfect and the staff was kind.

The staffs were wonderful! Vera and Alim were Super! Usually hotel does not allow for early check-in but Alim helped me for early check-in after long flight from Seoul, South Korea. I was deadly tired but his help was super! And hotel offered unlimited coffees and waters in the lobby. That was one of the best part of this hotel! I could get fresh sparking water all the time and so much loved it. I will visit Villa Bougainville for sure whenever I visit Nice again! This hotel was the face of Nice for me. Thanks for every staffs!

The property condition was average. More than average was the kindness of the ones I met at the reception in the night shift and the day shift. They did not rush you and the gentleman showed me how to open the door with the wifi card. He was kind. It was my first night of my European tour, and most things were new to me since my last one in 2004, an organized tour with a friend and with a big group. The next morning, I had breakfast and it was good: the egg and the potato round pieces, and juices of oranges and grapefruit, and coffee, coissant and bread. The woman desk manager was friendly and told me about her family. It was good to know because I could relate where they originally came from. Overall, I enjoyed my stay because of the kindness and friendliness of the hotel staff.

We've stayed 8 nights. The room and entire hotel is in need of deep cleaning. This is beyond of what a housekeeper can do. You can see dirt or stains on the walls, around air conditioner frame, on the radiator, in the elevator. The bathroom had a sewage smell that they try to disguise by turning the air conditioner on to freezing cold and leaving the door open to the room. Once you shut the bathroom door the smell was quite strong. It is not a 4 star hotel. The breakfast was great. the staff was helpful. Location is OK, although I would not say Thiers Avenue seems very safe in the evening. It is close to Nice-Ville train station and Alsace-Lorraine tram stop. Nice and surroundings are beautiful.
