Hotel Villa Rivoli

The hotel is in a perfect position situated a quick 5 minute walk from Promenade des Anglais and the decor of the rooms can only be described as quirky! A plus and very unusual for France is the addition of a tea tray in the room - a nice touch when staying during the winter months. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and we look forward to staying again when visiting Nice.

The Hotel Villa Rivoli was just perfect for us. It dates from the Belle Epoch and has so much charm and character. Every member of staff was so helpful and went out of their way to give, or find out, useful information for us. We had the breakfast option, which was more than ample and unhurried. Hotel location was just off the sea front, near the Musee Massena. Tram stop Alsace-Lorraine was less than 5 minutes walk away, so very easy to get to from the airport. We where in Nice during the Carnival which really added to the whole holiday experience.

Nice older hotel. Previously had been a private residence. Loaded with charm. No elevator, so you get your cardio workout by climbing the stairs. Breakfast is available, or if you prefer, there are restaurants and patisseries within walking distance. Located two blocks from the beach. The staff are very nice and helpful and most speak English.

We came to Nice in winter for the fourth time and have finally found the hotel we will come back to next time! The location is good, just a short walk to the seafront, we had a beautifully decorated room of good size and we really liked that it has character and a style. The people were very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed breakfast dans la salle. The wifi was not great, that's all.

A lovely boutique hotel with lots of French charm. It’s conveniently located a couple of blocks from the Promenade des Anglais and about a block from Rue de France, which has lots of great restaurants and shopping. The tram and the train station are both a short walk away as well as Gambetta bus stop, which will get you pretty much anywhere in greater Nice and beyond. My daughter and I loved our stay here & highly recommend. Breakfast every morning was delicious. Beds were comfy, bathroom large, air conditioning which was so helpful in the recent heat wave. The staff is very kind and helpful.

My friend and I stayed at Hotel Villa Rivoli 10 nights during the 2023 Christmas season & both of us loved it. The staff is uniformly kind and helpful – they really want you to enjoy the hotel and Nice. The Hotel Villa Rivoli staff knows the territory & obviously cares about their guests. It’s a small hotel experience that you simply can’t get in a modern rental unit/Air B&B. What could be better than the smell of freshly baked croissants? Les petits déjeuners (breakfasts) were memorable, and the staff is happy to prepare a hard or soft-boiled egg to accompany the buffet of meats, cheese, cereals and fruit. Breakfast is served in a special breakfast area adjacent to the sitting room with the fireplace. There’s a garden just outside. The hotel is very well-located & it's safe to walk around both day and evening. Hotel Villa Rivoli is close to the shopping district, only a few blocks away from the Promenade des Anglais, and about a 10–12-minute walk to the train station. Monaco & Cannes are a short train ride away. A few cultural tips: the hotel is a block and a half away from a charming old movie theater that shows a variety of artsy films in various languages. It’s within walking distance of the Old Nice Opera, which offers world-class performances (tickets can be purchased in advance, online, from anywhere). One consideration for those who are noise sensitive: this hotel was formerly an old home and the rooms are not sound-proof. We didn’t have an issue with this because our neighbors were considerate. The rooms are very nicely appointed and immaculately clean. We would be completely delighted to stay at Hotel Villa Rivoli again.

Hotel Villa Rivoli is a beautifull Belle Epoch historic hoten. We had some trouble with heavy noise from the room next to us. So we dident sleep that night. We complain to the Hotel and they immedialy gave us a fulll refund. Thank you for beeing such a nice and helpfull staff. All the Bedst from Ole Pihl and fammily from Denmark

We really loved staying in this beautiful Belle epoque house a short walk from the Promenade des Anglais in a wonderful old neighbourhood packed full of similar houses reminiscent of the grand old days of Nice! We are very interested in art and architecture and this was our perfect holiday. The walls were decorated in a lovely toile fabric. Comfortable bed. Neat, clean, tidy. Had a kettle in the room so we were able to have tea which was important to us. The room was just warm enough. Pleasant and friendly staff. Would absolutely stay there again. It felt like a home away from home. I felt I was back in the 1920's and didn't want to leave ! That has never happened anywhere else, even in Paris. Thank you so much xx

A sweet hotel with very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Room was on the small side, but fine for our 2 day stay. Close to the tram link to the airport, and to the beach too. Decour a little on the tired side, but this did not detract from our enjoyment. Would book this hotel again in the future.
