Staying at Hotel Victor Hugo was such a pleasure! Gilles and his doggy Marius were such amazing hosts, and were so much fun to interact with in the mornings. The location was perfectly close to many great attractions, and offered plenty of amenities. Our room was a great size, and even had it's own kitchenette which was very convenient. And the free breakfast is a huge bonus! Would definitely stay here again.

Loved our stay here in at Hotel Victor Hugo in Nice! The employees are beyond friendly and give tips on what to do/see in the area. It’s so close to the promenade (and the beaches) and even closer to a tram station (super easy if going/coming from airport). Rooms were clean and the area in general feels super safe. Totally recommend this hotel!

We had a great stay and appreciate the nice breakfast and helpful suggestions from Gilles. We booked the room with attached small extra sitting and kitchen space and that was perfect. The bathroom is small and shower a step up so not perfect if mobility issues. Location in the city is great with the tram to the airport right across the street. Appreciate the convenience of an ice maker. Located in a beautiful old building.

Staying at the Hotel Victor Hugo was an absolute pleasure. The building is lovely and quaint. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel owner, Gilles, is personable, friendly, fluent in English, and a great conversationalist. His little dog, Marius, is a joy and greeted my wife at our door every morning when we emerged for breakfast. In the breakfast room, there is a sign in French and English thanking you for feeding neither Marius, the dog, nor Gilles, the owner. Take note that the hotel is modest—if you are looking for opulence and all the amenities, this is not it. But if you want an authentic, human experience, good conversation over breakfast, and a taste of old-world Nice, you’ll love it. We did. We would absolutely stay there again.

This property is mis-represented. It is not a hotel. It is 4 rooms in an apartment block. The rooms are badly laid out. Shower was almost impossible to use. Bathroom sink and tap layout not fit for purpose. The breakfast are is effectively a large broom cupboard. There is no where to sit down comfortably. More than three people and it would be a squeeze. Don’t mention parking. There isn’t any. Terrible place. Stay clear. Go to a real four star hotel.

Very surprised when we got there we couldn't get in, walked right round the block to find a way in. Owner very friendly and his new dog, room very basic and clean, for the price it was fine. We did not realise he only has a few rooms on the first floor, the rest of the building is apartment's or offices, hence why we couldn't walk in. Breakfast was very basic but for the price it was fine.

Hotel V.H. is brilliantly placed for tramway and thus easy journey from airport, very doable walk into old town and access to prom . It is in a very quaint, quirky and beautiful building, occupying the ground floor.Once you become accustomed to this, it is actually VERY good value for money.Gilles, who runs the Hotel, is very pleasant and helpful, and has a great sense of humour. We were very happy with our stay, and wouldnt hesitate to return to Hotel Victor Hugo.
