Hôtel La Villa Nice Victor Hugo 

We had a lovely few days here. Wonderful huge shower room, delightful room with windows on 2 sides and a huge comfortable bed. Plenty of storage and a little sofa, and desk, too. The lift is pretty rubbish, slow, tiny, usually filled with staff going up and down with sheets, but what’s 100 steps but good for you? Let down by confusing cafe. The staff are great but it officiously closes at 8pm just when you might want a nice drink outside, and it was never quite clear whether it was really part of the hotel or not. Certainly breakfast was an extra, should you want it. Attractively decorated reception hall and I guess, going by the other reviews, that we were lucky to mainly dodge the (necessary) inconvenience of renovations. If they don’t renovate, people only complain that places are ‘tired’ so I guess they can’t win.
