    Read Google reviews before you book. I don't recommend booking it.

    rating06 Sept 2025

    We've stayed 8 nights. The room and entire hotel is in need of deep cleaning. This is beyond of what a housekeeper can do. You can see dirt or stains on the walls, around air conditioner frame, on the radiator, in the elevator. The bathroom had a sewage smell that they try to disguise by turning the air conditioner on to freezing cold and leaving the door open to the room. Once you shut the bathroom door the smell is quite strong. It is not a 4 star hotel. The breakfast was great. Staff was helpful. Location is OK, although I would not say Thiers Avenue seems very safe in the evening. It is close to Nice-Ville train station and Alsace-Lorraine tram stop. Nice and surroundings are beautiful. Villa Bougainville, Autre at Villa Bougainville by HappyCulture, responded to this review Dear, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed feedback following your recent stay with us.While we're pleased to hear that you found our breakfast enjoyable and appreciated the helpfulness of our team, we're truly sorry to learn that other aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations.

    A memorable stay on the sunny French Riviera

    rating13 Jul 2025

    If you'd like to stay in a gorgeous French boutique hotel, this is the place for you! Firstly, you are greeted by complimentary refreshments from the fridge, and a lovely team of staff who are super friendly to help make your stay a comfortable one. It was a great bonus that the staff/ receptionists knew Nice very well and can give you recommendations for just about anything related to the city or even the Riviera as well. After checking in, there's nothing to do but head upstairs to see your room. Now, as the building is nearly a century old (1928), you must be thinking if they have an elevator, and you're in luck to find out that they do! However, it's an experience of its own. The tiny elevator matches the vibe of the building especially in its datedness, and can only fit about maximum 3 people, where that situation will have you feeling like sardines in a can. Nevertheless, it never bothered my friend and I, and was part of the charm of the hotel which I liked a lot.Having an interesting introduction to the elevator, we found our room, and it was simply lovely. The beds were super comfortable, with ample amounts of storage in the desk and a built-in closet with four shelves. You even have a mini fridge to cool your foodstuffs with a provided tea/coffee set completed by a kettle. The bathroom, while may be considered small, is really cute and stylish with all the modern comforts of a hotel such as lotion, hand wash, shampoo, body wash, and conditioner with fresh towels as you wish when you place used ones in the sink for housekeeping. To top it all off, (as far as I know) every room comes with a balcony, and the street view makes for a nice opportunity to take in those cool mornings and bustling evenings. However, one of my gripes with the room on the first day was that the areas above the bathroom door and curtains were loaded with so much dust that you could weave it into a fabric. The desk was also slightly dusty but I quickly dealt with it by giving the areas a quick clean with my trusty wet wipes. As far as I know, the hotel will accommodate your requests in these situations and can clean it for you.Other than that, we had slept beautifully for our entire stay, with the sounds of trains braking into Nice Ville and the traffic from the streets below muffled nicely by the balcony doors (you can still hear the noises faintly but not so much that you'll be constantly disturbed). Our stay included a breakfast buffet every morning from 07:00 to 10:30 (totally worth to include), which offered a nice selection of croissants, mini crepes, fruit salad, white cheese, three cheeses (brie and some slices which I do not know of), cold meats, scrambled eggs, bacon, coffee, cereals, milk and a milk alternative, breads, salted and unsalted butter, jams, hazelnut spread, caramel sauce, and chocolate sauce. I liked how comfortable the leather seats were.Talking about the location, it's prime. Within the city centre, you're in the middle where there are some greats eats within walking distance. The Nice Ville train station is about a short 5 minute walk. The nearest tram station (Gare Thiers) is about an 8 minute walk, and there is an incredibly convenient bus stop (Gare Thiers / Poste) nearby that can take you to and from the Massena square.I can say I had a fantastic experience staying here, and you might too. 9/10. Recommendations and tips:- Those checking in: if you have large luggage or a lot of it, you will have to take more than one ride lifting the bags up to your floor. - Bring (antibacterial) wet wipes, it's not only hygienic but also can help you if you'd like a quick clean to your liking, otherwise the hotel can do it for you at request.- If you're a light sleeper, request a room facing away from the street.- Ask the receptionists for recommendations or anything, they know a lot! Villa Bougainville, Autre at Villa Bougainville by HappyCulture, responded to this review A huge thank you , Lohan , for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay, from our welcoming staff and comfortable rooms to the convenient location and breakfast offerings. We also appreciate your constructive feedback on room cleanliness — it’s very helpful for our improvement and has been shared with our housekeeping team. We’re so pleased your experience was memorable, and we hope to welcome you back soon to the French Riviera!Kind regards, Vera and The Villa Bougainville's team

    The best thing about this place is the reception ladies They are very friendly and helpful. We stayed one night in room 303. The room was very tired with a broken wobbly table.. The toilet is seperate from the shower room and is so tiny that you would have difficulty cleaning yourself after using it..The shower room is large but the waste trap was loose and the shower floor is very slippery. The air conditioning was very poor and stopped us from sleeping during a very hot night. It just can not cope with cooling the room. The room walls are paper thin. You hear neighbours talking, babies crying.. The lift opening and closing. There is simply nowhere in the hotel to sit comfortably and relax, including the room itself. We left for a flight too early to have the included breakfast. The reception lady assured us that a pre packed breakfast would be prepared for us by the night porter, but he did not fulfil this as we found him asleep behind his desk when we came down in the morning. We can not recommend this hotel. Villa Bougainville, Autre at Villa Bougainville by HappyCulture, responded to this review Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations.While we're glad to hear our reception team made a positive impression — especially our friendliness and helpfulness — we regret the discomforts you encountered during your stay. We take your feedback seriously and will address the issues you mentioned, including the condition of the furniture, the air conditioning, and the bathroom layout. Your comments about sound insulation and the need for more relaxing common spaces are also well noted. Please note that we are currently carrying out an acoustic study. We're especially sorry that the pre-packed breakfast was not ready for your early departure as promised. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we will be following up with our night staff to ensure this does not happen again.Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you experienced. We appreciate your honest feedback as it helps us improve, and we hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future.Kind regards,Vera and La Villa Bougainville's team
