Villa La Malouine is in a quiet area near the old port of Nice. The room was clean and quiet. The bathroom had recently been remodeled and more than met standards of 4 star hotel. The host was very good. We had a few issues... the Wifi did not function during our stay. Note also there is no AC.. and the night we stayed we had to leave the windows open as it 24C over night. Highly recommend a local restaurant Les Amoureux ... one of the best pizzas I have had in 3 years, truffle cheese.

Just what I hoped for!
Lovely! Stayed with my boyfriend here for one night, had room 7 with a balcony, view of the driveway but better than no view at at, could see the ocean if we looked right. The owner was a friendly gentleman, provided us with everything we needed, could purchase drinks with an honestly box 24hrs and breakfast was simple but very nice. Bed was comfy, fan in the room was a saviour! The decor was in keeping with the style of the building, the shower was nice and powerful however this did leave the floor a little wet! Would 100% recommend and stay again, felt homely and friendly! Very happy.

Out of the way but very comfortable
A small place (only like 10 rooms) with English speaking staff, on the other side of the port of Nice from the main town. Very walkable, comfortable, and friendly.

Old fashioned
This is an old boutique hotel, with some character. It could use a new hall carpet. Amenities are basic. It's on a busy street a 15 million minute walk from the old port or 25 minutes to the old town. The attentive and friendly manner of the proprietor left me with a warm feeling. And it's relatively inexpensive.

Perfect!
Perfect! Had a small room on this trip, (larger ones' available), which was very pleasant with views over the garden towards the sea. Great breakfast. Very quiet location considering the proximity of the main road. On main bus route. No hesitation in returning - great hosts made us very welcome indeed.

Not a Nice Hotel
We booked online and arrived at 6pm to find the hotel locked up and a note with a number to call. The staircase is narrow and steep and when the person appeared no help with luggage was offered. The room was very small and the bathroom, amazingly, had a window-like opening at the top into the room. The bed was uncomfortable. We could not see any evidence of a bar/lounge. When our room was made up the bed cover was left on the floor. The walk from the hotel to town is down a very steep hill to a small section of the old port, not the beach or town centre. However the hotel is quiet and we had a lovely view to the sea in the distance. Compared to other hotels in which we stayed during our three week trip this hotel was overpriced. On check out the so called helpful French speaking man claimed that the credit card payment that had been made at time of booking had not gone through so we had to pay again. I note that there was no evidence produced hat the payment had not gone through. Overall this was a poor choice and we could not recommend it

3 night break in Nice!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Villa la Malouine last week. We had a great room with two large windows and balconies. Typically French décor and the most amazing thing was that it was so quiet with no traffic noise. Considering the Hotel was on a busy main road. It was just set back from the road and this made all the difference.

The rooms are small, the mattress bad, the location has no free parking and the price for the room is ridiculously high. The hotel has a bad old smell and the bathroom has no privacy, it is open into the actual room.

The beach
It was a great stay with the hotel and the front desk/concierge was so nice and very accommodating to any and all questions we had. He also spoke great English. The hotel itself was over priced we stayed there for two nights and moved to another hotel with a higher star rating for half the price. If you are on a budget this is not the place to stay but it is in a beautiful area close to many nice restaurants and cafés. It took around 20 minutes by tram to get to the beach.

One has to understand a higher "ranked" hotel can be in the wrong part of nice , not by the sea and close to the beach and therefore cheaper.

This hotel has potential to be more then what it is. It's pretty out dated and needs some new carpeting in hall way. The rooms are small by European standards. The building and grounds are it's best quality. Also the location is walking distance to the port/old town.

Hotel Villa La Malouine is a charming, old Russian villa. It's perfect for people who are looking for a place with character and a nice rest. The location is peaceful since the hotel is surrounded by a lovely garden. The owner is also charming, helpful, shared good tips, and speaks absolutely perfect English. La Malouine is located near the port with its restaurants (and a little kiosque that sells the best pan baignat in town), and not too far away from place Garibaldi and the old town. Buses drive by and take to the best beach (sand, not pebbles!) nearby in Villefranche.

Publicité mensongère
J’ai choisi une chambre double supérieure sur la foi des photos du site (grande chambre, coin séjour, coin salon). À l’arrivee, chambre minuscule, aucun séjour ni salon, salle de bain de 3 m2 sans ventilation mécanique avec « aération » donnant dans la chambre, très agréable quand on utilise les toilettes. Réponse de l’hotelier quand j’exprime mon insatisfaction: toutes les chambres sont différentes, vous n’aviez qu’à téléphoner pour dire ce que vous vouliez. Un endroit à éviter

Chambre : Un climatiseur qui brasse de l'air ne sert à rien. Aucune performance de cet appareil. Je trouve que le responsable de l'établissement devrait mieux contrôler son personnel. Le carrelage de la douche avait des grandes traînées blanches de produit sur un carrelage noir... impossible de ne pas voir... La vaisselle au petit déjeuner n'était pas très propre. Il a fallu renvoyer quelques tasses/services qui étaient douteux. Si le lave-vaisselle n'a pas fait son travail convenablement il ne faut pas l'accuser car c'est à l'être humain de vérifier que ce qui en sort soit propre... et si les performances de la machine ne sont plus bonnes il y a lieu de réagir. Parking: peu de place pour manœuvrer mais content d'avoir une place. Sinon, l'endroit sympa, calme et près du port.

Dejlig nærhed til den gamle bydel i Nice.
Villa La Malouine ligger dejligt tæt på havn og den gamle bydel. Værten Nicolas er super imødekommende og følger med i hvordan gæsterne har det. Meget hyggelig fyr. Hotellet er gammelt og det ville højne standarden hvis selve entreforhold og gangarealer fik en overhaling, men ellers et hyggeligt sted at tilbringe nogle dage i Nice.

Mysigt boende med personlig service och omtanke
Vi bokade med kort varsel det sista och minsta rummet på hotellet. I minsta laget för två personer men att döma av övriga rum vi såg kan man bo väldigt bra och mysigt här. Utmärkt, personlig och tillmötesgående service. Tillträde till rummet ordnades smidigt trots att receptionen hade sin ordinarie eftermiddagsstängning när vi kom. Bra läge nära hamnen och bussförbindelser till både centrala Nice och utflyktsorter österut.

Boheemielämää Nizzassa
Tämä boheemi ja hieman erilainen hotelli oli sympaattinen kokemus. Perusranskalainen aamukahvi patiolla oli mukava ja nukuimme ikkuna auki rinteeseen, jossa satakieli herätti meidät aamulla. Ikkunoista on hieno näköala merelle ja vanhaan kaupunkiin ja lahdelle. Mutta hinta on hieman korkea, koska hotelli on kaikesta huolimatta hieman syrjässä (ei ylivoimainen hyväjalkaiselle) ja huoneet ovat siistit, mutta vaatimattomat. Asumista eivät haitanneet käytävien imuroimattomat kokolattiamatot, mutta tuleehan siitä vähän nuhruinen yleisvaikutelma.Mutta nukuimme tosi hyvin, kun yöllä tuli syyskuun viileää ilmaa ikkunasta.

Vi kom fram før kl. 2100 om kvelden. Dette var annonsert. Det var lagt nøkkel til oss i resepsjonen, men det var mørkt der, ingen til stades for å informera oss om hotellet eller til å evnt. hjelpa med bagasjen som vi måtte bera opp 5 etasjer då det ikkje er heis i bygningen. Lukt av støv og innestengt. Dei teppebelagde trappene hadde trengt støvsuging. Litt langt å gå att og fram frå sentrum i varmen, men for nær til at det var busssamband if. ein av innehavarane. Fin uteplass bak hotellet som burde vore meir fokusert på.

Kann man buchen, muss man aber nicht.
Wir waren für 3 Tage in Nizza. Es war sehr heiß in dem Zimmer. Pro: Ventilator stand bereit, und der Rezeptionist war auch sehr freundlich und engagiert. WLAN war prima und der Parkplatz auch wie versprochen. Lage ist OK um zu Fuß in den Hafen zu gehen. für die Altstadt sind wir immer mit dem Auto reingefahren. Busse verkehren ab 20 Uhr nicht mehr wirklich. Contra: Unser Zimmer lag ganz oben, und musste nach dem wir im 2ten Stock waren noch zusätzlich über eine schmale Außentreppe "erklommen" werden. Das Bad ist sehr klein, In der Dusche drehen war nahezu unmöglich ohne den Vorhang zu öffnen. Somit auch nach jedem Duschgang Wasser vor der Duschwanne. Wenn man wie ich um die 1,90 groß ist passte man kaum auf die Toilette, da ich mit den Knien schon am Waschbecken anstand.Hier wurde jeder Quadratzentimeter ausgenutzt, mit etwas mehr Planung wäre es aber geschickter gewesen.

Erinomaisella paikalla
Erittäin siisti ja viehättävä hotelli vaikka vanha rakennus. WC-tilat ahtaat. Huoneiden äänieristys olematon. Vastaanotossa ei ollut päivystystä jatkuvasti. Ei tallelokeroa. Huoneessa tornituuletin. Aamiaisen olisi toivonut kuuluvan 100 euron yöpymishintaan. 9 eurolla sai patonki-tuoremehu-marmelaadi-kahvi/tee aamiaisen. Kohtelias palvelu. Sijainti erinomainen sille, joka haluaa hotellin hiljaisesta ympäristöstä keskustan reunalla 10 min kävelymatkan päässä kaupoista ja satamasta. Parin sadan metrin päässä hotellista aukeaa upea näköala Välimerelle ja Nizzan kaupunkiin.

Personalet ringte rundt til verksteder, oversatte og var veldig behjelpelig. Om du ikke bestiller suiten er rommene noe små og enkle men renslige og funksjonelle. Suiten er meget fin.

We adored the place ,it s such a pretty,unpretentious hotel full of charm.As you walk in the tiny entrance ,then leads you to the staircase and the bedroom,as if it was a private house,Which as a time was a Former Russian villa.The owners took us on a ride with a speedboat and it s spectacular indeed!In the morning one smells the coffree and fresh croissants.It was a bit early to enjoy the terrace but I CAN imagine in spring and sommer!The hotel was almost fully booked but nevertheless quiet as walls semeed thick!thank you to the team running the place.

Je pense que hors saison c'est un bon compromis car prix correct en rapport aux chaines style Etap hotel mais avec quand meme bien plus de charme. Le petit dej sur la terrasse est vraiment top!
