Meget enkelt, vandrerhjem kunne kanskje vært bedre
Meget enkelt, dusjkabin og vask avgrenset med skjerm. Men damen som leide ut var hjelpsom og prisen lav.

Good value for money.
This is a guesthouse not a hotel. My first instinct was to cancel my booking due to the initial shabby appearance, however after meeting the friendly, helpful owner I decided to persist. Whilst rooms are clean they could do with a make over, the bed is excellent and very comfy.
Breakfast is basically whatever you ask for, the owner shops daily and will keep feeding you till you are full ! !
The bus stops right outside, so getting around is easy, likewise the main station is 20 minutes walk.
Having stayed there for 6 nights I left with a good feeling and will definitely return to this establishment on my next trip to Nice.
PS The owner also speaks good English and is knowledgeable on most aspects of Nice, this was a great help.
De passage à Nice cet hôtel correspondait à mes besoins rapport qualité/prix rien à dire. J'ai aimé le charme de cet hôtel.
J'ai beaucoup apprécié l'accueil disponible, m'a bien renseigné sur les moyens de transport et les curiosités de la ville de Nice.

Mitten in Nizza wie bei Freunden!
Der Empfang durch die Besitzerin war sehr herzlich! Sie nahm sich Zeit für mich, zeigte und lieh mir Bücher und Karten über Nizza. Das Frühstück auf dem kleinen Balkon war für französische Verhältnisse sehr reichhaltig, die gesamte Atmosphäre zusammen mit anderen Gästen freundlich.
La propriétaire est très sympa et conseille bien
Malgré tout l'état de notre chambre était trop vieux voire dangereux. Le confort était moins que basique...
Bien situé cependant

The hotel is calm and comfortable enough. The host is polite and helpful. But my room was too small. Actually for one person it was normal in view of my short trip.

La Villa son habitaciones, con su baño y su cama. Y poco más. Lo justo para dormir. Pero mención aparte merece su propietaria, Anne, un autentico lujo. Siempre dispuesta a ayudar en todo.
Volvería sin dudarlo.
Une chambre si vous n'êtes (vraiment) pas exigent!
Nous avons retenu pour une nuit. Accueil agréable de la propriétaire, mais nous avions retenu une chambre d'hôtel, et ce qui nous a été proposé s'apparente plus à une chambre d'étudiant ! Donc, pas de service, pas de parking (places très difficiles à trouver aux abords), sur un boulevard bruyant, et ensemble plutôt très vétuste. Certes, le prix est attractif, mais je regrette ce manque d'informations. Vous êtes prévenus !

Ein paar wundervolle Tage in Nizza
Anreise: Vom Flughafen problemlos mit dem Bus möglich.
Die Haltestelle "Maison de l' Environnement" ist vor der Tür. Wer sparen will nimmt die Linie 23 statt der schnelleren 99. Dann umsteigen an Thiers/Gambetta in die 7.
Check-In: Wie beschrieben bis 18.30h.
Wenn man vorab einen späteren Check-In anfragt, ist das aber möglich.
Das Beste: Eine ganz herzliche Eigentümerin.
Von ihr habe ich die besten Tipps bekommen, die mich traumhafte Orte in der Umgebung entdecken ließen. Ich war schon oft in Nizza, aber ihre Empfehlungen waren top.
Ich hatte mein Handyladekabel vergessen und dir direkt eines kostenlos ausgeliehen bekommen sowie zahlreiche Bücher über Nizza.
Zwischenzeitlich konnte ich mir immer einen Kaffee zubereiten.
Großes Plus für nicht französisch-Sprechende: Englisch wird wirklich gesprochen und verstanden.
Klare Empfehlung: Das Frühstück mitbuchen.
Für den Preis lohnt sich das richtig und auf dem Balkon sitzt es sich schön.
Ich bekam sogar ohne Probleme auf meinen Wunsch Sojamilch.
Außerdem war immer gute Unterhaltung mit anderen Reisenden garantiert.
Nichts für: Klassische Hotelurlauber!
In der Villa Saphir ist nicht alles im piekfeinen Zustand.
Das hat mich persönlich 0 gestört.
Wer allerdings mit der Erwartung dorthin kommt, eine Sterneunterkunft geboten zu bekommen, der wird enttäuscht sein.
Mein Fazit:
Ich komme gerne wieder!
Je n'ai pa pu rester dans la chambre. L endroit était insalubre plei' de toile d araignee, bestiole de partt, chasse d eau bruyante.

impeccable, confortable.
La chambre est grande et donc bien pratique pour les bagages. Un frigo qui permet de maintenir la glace pour la glacière qui nous accompagne la journée dans nos excursions et un emplacement de stationnement juste devant. Tout ça pour un prix accessible.
Bei Annie fühlt man sich wie zu Hause! Sie kümmert sich mit Mühe für den Frühstück; sie bietet gleich einen Glas Wein oder Saft, wenn man ankommt; sie erklärt im Detail alles was man in Nizza und Umgebung besichtigen kann und leiht sogar ihre Bücher aus, wenn man sie gerne lesen will. Bei ihr war es wirklich einen erholsamen Aufenthalt.

Had a great experience staying at this hotel! Very helpful and kind staff. Located close to the city centrum with shopping areas as well as train station. Not too far from the beach.
Litt rotete og nedslitt, men med masse sjarm. Langt fra stranden, men med grei bussforbindelse ditt.
Veldig vennlig og hjelpsom personale. Herlig frokost med ost og frukt.
We waren eerst in de verkeerde kamer geplaats. De huisvrouw was hier erg boos om, al was dit niet onze fout dus dat voelde niet prettig. In de nieuwe kamer was het heel vies, wanneer je op blite voeten liep hield je er pikzwarte voeten aan over waardoor het bed ook vies werd. De douche viel haat uit elkaar dus erg relaxed hebben we er niet in gestaan. 3 overige nadelen zijn de vele muggen, het onbreken van verkoeling dmv airco oid en de herrie vanaf de straat. Ik raad Villa Saphir niet aan, slechte prijs kwaliteit verhouding :(
Impossible de se garer dans le secteur. Chambre d'une propreté plus que douteuse, lit pour 2 personnes composé de 2 matelas qui n'avait même pas la même épaisseur, rideau de douche crasseux trainant par terre, fenêtre impossible à ouvrir, et j'en passe. Nous nous sommes sauvés après avoir dormi sans prendre le petit déjeuner pourtant régler. 54€ c'est du vol. Il ne devrait même pas être sur un site de location.
