B&B Hotel Villeneuve Loubet Plage

“Basic room, but good location when Nice is full”

We stayed here as it was a long weekend and Monaco Grand prix so there was nothing reasonably priced along the coast. Even the stay here was more than usual but we didn't expect more than a basic room, which is basically what we got. The check in was fine and the room as described. I would prefer… more

We stayed here as it was a long weekend and Monaco Grand prix so there was nothing reasonably priced along the coast. Even the stay here was more than usual but we didn't expect more than a basic room, which is basically what we got. The check in was fine and the room as described. I would prefer a shower screen and not a shower curtain as well as a shelf or somewhere to put toiletries on the shower. The hotel is basically in the back carpark of a McDonald's, but wasn't noisy and was a short walk from the train station for the train or bus. No unsavoury characters that we saw staying at the hotel, mostly just families. The room did the job, but did have to use the aircon on only a moderately warm day as it got very stuffy. A ceiling fan would be more energy efficient.

“Ok for the price”

We drove there late at night, thanks to the reviews here mentioning about this place next to a McDonald's, otherwise we would have a hard time finding it. The gate was closed by the time we drove in. We were a bit anxious being locked out but thanks to the review there I was able to check in usin… more

We drove there late at night, thanks to the reviews here mentioning about this place next to a McDonald's, otherwise we would have a hard time finding it. The gate was closed by the time we drove in. We were a bit anxious being locked out but thanks to the review there I was able to check in using the machine and open the gate and access the room eventually. The room is very basic, kinda dark, no phone no hair dryer no fridge but ok for the price. But it's modern design and clean and good for just staying a night. If you don't have much expectation this is not bad for a short stay.

“Basic but very Clean”

I stayed here for 2 nights for a friend's hrn-do. It was very close to train station, 5min walk, lovely patisserie shop across the road for coffee and croissants. The beach is less then 10mins walk around a beautiful marina. I wouldn't stay here a week but the hotel was excellent if exploring area… more

I stayed here for 2 nights for a friend's hrn-do. It was very close to train station, 5min walk, lovely patisserie shop across the road for coffee and croissants. The beach is less then 10mins walk around a beautiful marina. I wouldn't stay here a week but the hotel was excellent if exploring area by train, which was also excellent. The rooms are cleaned daily, towels provided, big enough for 3 people in quadrupole rooms (may struggle with 4 adults) I would definitely return.

“Spring Hotel/Hostel Experience”

Disclaimer: we are in our mid-70s. This hotel did not fit us well at all. Our conclusion was that it is 2 steps above a hostel in terms of location behind a McDonalds in a commercial zone, features like a real room desk, benefits of soundproofing, & required tech access to even get in the front door. The desk isn't manned well, outside access is by pin codes & room #, and the noise level after 6 pm is LOUD with all the late-comers going down the no-carpet corridors. I even saw 2 dogs in the lobby eyeing each other in a standoff. Same family had 4 kids who liked to run & dance through the halls. Mom & Dad just smiled as if this was cute. Like I said: hostel-level conduct with no supervision from the empty desk. The business model is very low staffing, all surfaces are designed for mop cleaning, few vending machines, only sugar-filled drinks in those machines, worktable-room had the lights off by 8 pm, so little light for my web work & paperwork. All in all - if you're backpacking the south of France, try it out. If you're visiting the sites with sore bones & want some peace from the tourist crowds, move along - move along.
