The staff were super friendly & helpful but our superior room with balcony - not one you could stand or sit on - was pretty small with 3 coat hangers and a shelf each.
The hotel was a good 20 minute walk from the Promenade des anglais, and therefore the restaurants etc

Nice hotel, Villa Othero!
Nicely decorated and very clean and proper hotel in Nice. Very convenient too as it is very close to the station (Nice Ville) and a maximum 15 minutes pleasant walk down to the beach and promenade des Anglais.

A good hotel
We enjoyed our stay. The location was good and the room very clean; The bed was particularly comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Our only criticism would be that the shower was not working very well and a couple of things fell off the wall!

Property is well situated very close to Nice Ville train station which is very convenient.
The room was very comfortable and clean. The bed was cozy, the towels were soft and the shower was very nice (just wash your step if you use conditioner as it makes shower bed a tad slippery). They have water, treats and a drink available mid afternoon. You will not be disappointed staying here. It’s an easy walk to everything.
