Lovely hotel close to the beach and the city centre with shops and restaurants. Clean and comfy room with a comfortable bed and a nice good working shower. Good and tasty breakfast, but the best thing about this hotel is the wonderful manager Gilles and his sweet dog Marius.

Great host, excellent location
Gilles was an excellent host. Very helpful and a very comfortable stay. The hotel is conveniently located for those taking the train, and when we left for the airport the tram is across the street. Lovely neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and a short four block walk to the Promenade.

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!

Relaxing vacation in Nice
We loved our stay in Nice and should haves stayed longer! Giles and his pup Maurice were great hosts and really made us feel welcomed. Small but complete breakfast matched the room but in the best part of the city so worth it! So close to tramways and train station, ((when not on strike) but we walked everywhere which was so easy! Hope to come back again!!!

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.

Gill, the proprietor is a gem! So helpful during the months prior to my visit and once I got here. My luggage was lost and he accommodated me so I could be comfortable and get on with my visit to Nice. I absolutely loved my little room overlooking the beautiful tree lined boulevard. Breakfast was delicious. Great vibes at this place!

My 15 year old has declared this the best place we have stayed on our 2 week trip to France. Quaint with lots of charm, nice amenities (I was happy to finally have a place that provided wash clothes along with the towels!) yummy breakfast items, in a great location.
