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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

We loved our stay......

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.

Perfect location near a tram station, so getting about was easy. Excellent host who was friendly and very helpful, and spoke fluent English, despite me wanting to practice my French!!! Only a small number of rooms so the host could be very attentive, and the excellent breakfast could be taken in the room if desired. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel.

The hotel is perfectly located in a beautiful boulevard and directly opposite a local park and the tram stop for the airport. A very short walk to the Promenade Des Anglais and the seafront . Very conveniently located for the main shopping area and close proximity to many, many restaurants . The hotel provided excellent service by Gillies and Cosette who were very knowledgeable about all aspects of travel, and questions related to our holiday there. The breakfast was really very good too! A comfortable room with all facilities including a small kitchenette. Comfortable bed, good air conditioning , TV and fast Wi-Fi. We enjoyed a very good 6 night holiday at the Victor Hugo and we would certainly choose this hotel again on our next trip to Nice.

The Victor Hugo is quite a quirky but historical Hotel. You do get some real benefits here…. Surprisingly beach towels which saves €7 Euro a day on the beach. A free breakfast is also very acceptable. The aircon is excellent for a 2* and the manager Giles is a mine of information. Tea and coffee making facilities were great and whilst the shower was commensurately tight overall this was an excellent stay and we would recommend the Hotel. The only slight down side is the latest arrival is 7pm so bear that in mind
