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.

We stayed for four nights. The first two nights were fine, however there was no hot water for the final two nights of our stay. Reception confirmed that the issue affected the building and unfortunately it was not resolved before our departure. To their credit, the hotel later provided a partial refund of €150 after our complaint. However, losing hot water for half of our stay significantly affected our experience. The room was otherwise comfortable and the location was convenient, but I hope the hotel takes steps to prevent similar issues in the future.
