Villa La Tour

“Great location and price.”

The hotel is located right at the edge of the Old Town so every kind of food and shopping is available with some right below the hotel. It has a beautiful tower that is lit up at night.

The hotel is located right at the edge of the Old Town so every kind of food and shopping is available with some right below the hotel. It has a beautiful tower that is lit up at night. The rooms are not big but fairly standard for European hotels. We had 3 different rooms and they were all spotless. Yes, you need to go up narrow stairs to the rooms so I would not recommend if that would be a difficulty. Some rooms have balconies (very small, just enough for little table and 2 chairs). I would recommend if you want to stay up late and people watch below but if you would like a quieter room ask for one not on the street (I stayed in room 207 and has a quieter night than my friends). It is on the tram line and maybe a ten minute walk to the beaches (through the Old Town). Check out was at 10:30 am. The staff was pleasant.

“last minute booking over very busy period of grand prix and Cannes”

When planning this trip we did not realize that our dates were over Monte Carlo Grand Prix and end of Canne film festival. We could not book hotel in advance as we did not know our arrival date or if we would get on the flight (airline standby). We literally did the booking when we landed in Nice. … more

When planning this trip we did not realize that our dates were over Monte Carlo Grand Prix and end of Canne film festival. We could not book hotel in advance as we did not know our arrival date or if we would get on the flight (airline standby). We literally did the booking when we landed in Nice. Anyway. Location was PERFECT for us. Hotel is in Old Town among charming alleys, shops and restaurants. (one at hotel too). It is in an historic building, and as such there are no elevators. We literally got the last room which was quite small, but common for the area. I was nervous in later reading reviews about cleanliness etc, but found our room to be very clean. Yes, there are narrow stairwells, but we took our time going up and down with our bags. Staff could not be more helpful and gracious. I apologized for not speaking very much French and they all conversed with us in English. Their English was way better than my French and I appreciated their efforts! We did miss having coffee or even a kettle in the room, and the very small shower were our only cons. Had the staff not been so nice and helpful to us, I would have rated lower. Price was a little over 200 Euro per night but that was due to all that was going on in the area. lower at other times of the year. If our "cons" are not a big deal to you, I would recommend staying here as the service more than makes up for our cons.

“Good budget option.”

Good location for the vieux ville and port. You can walk everywhere easily.Hotel is in former convent near the tower. Basic but clean and staff very pleasant.The old building needs a refurb, and a few extra touches would make it much nicer.But good price during the ironman weekend and we were made … more
