Villar-d'Arene Holidays

Extremely satisfied. Will go back.

Great staff hospitality and location.

Great location, close to restaurants and shops. Quiet 5th floor with air conditioning. Be prepared to walk luggage up stairs before the elevator as well as a flight at the top - elevator doesn’t go to the top floor. Nice, helpful staff. Walking distance to the beach and beach clubs.

Great location, but the hotel seriously needs a rethink! Recently stayed at Hotel Aston La Scala in Nice, and I have to say It’s been mostly disappointment wrapped in a great location. Let’s start with the basics. We were told we’d receive a room upgrade.. that didn’t happen. The room itself is ok. Clean but with a TV that looks like it was installed during the early days of plasma screens. The bed is two singles awkwardly pushed together and feels about as comfortable as a park bench. Air conditioning? More of a suggestion than a feature. The WiFi is borderline useless, constantly dropping out, making it near impossible to do anything beyond refreshing the weather app (which kindly tells you it’s 35°C outside). You’d think that might warrant a dip in the hotel pool… until you find out it’s only open from 10am to 5pm. Yes, in the middle of summer. Apparently cooling off in the early evening or before breakfast isn’t part of the plan here. The rooftop bar does offer lovely views, but the drink prices are completely unjustified! more “luxury rooftop club” pricing, less “meh hotel bar.” Credit where it’s due: the location is excellent, close to transport, the beach, and the Old Town. But sadly, the hotel doesn’t come close to matching the charm of its surroundings. A stay that promised quite a bit, but delivered just enough to make you question your booking.

Little gem of a hotel, convenient to the train station yet set back from the street so private and quiet. Helpful attentive staff (special thanks to Emma). Short walk to the beach and a safe residential neighborhood.
