Perfect base for a city break if you are planning not to be in the room for a great deal of time. Everything was clean, the bed was very comfortable, there were black out curtains and a safe. The hotel offered free water and tea, coffee etc to guests all day/night in the bar area and the staff were very friendly.

Hotel Otero was well located between the train station and the beach. We liked the neighborhood which had restaurants and bars and parks, away from strictly tourist areas. The hotel is charming with larger rooms and traditional decor. The breakfast space each morning was beautiful. Recommend this hotel for a good base in Nice.

The location is central and the water and coffee is a nice touch. But the hotel itself is just okay. The AC is weak and the building is older, hot and tight. At its price point, it was a little underwhelming.

The hotel is only 15 mins drive from the airport and 4 min walk to Nice train station - also trams are close by. Excellent location. Friendly staff and very cute boutique hotel. Twin room is amazIng size for a few days but if you were staying longer it’s a tiny bit small. But loved it !! Vanity area, fridge, chair, bedside table, good hanging area, spacious bathroom, kettle & tea/coffee bits. Breakfast was included in our price - great selection- continental & cooked. Tea / Coffee/ Water free 24hrs. Daily cleaning- excellent time spent - thank you.
