Résidence Pierre & Vacances l'Ange Gardien

THIS PLACE IS A DUMP!! DO NOT BOOK. Dont be fooled by the pictures. Not sure why ********** is listing them. First it took forever to get into the hotel, no one was at the reception and we had to access a dropbox to get our keys, figure out the room. This looks like a hotel but facilities are worse than a hostel. No housekeeping. You pick up your trash and dump it at the dumpster. You clean your own room/toilet. You do not get extra towels/sheets, you have to beg for it. AC/vent unit was dusty and unclean. They give you a cleaning kit and laundry does not have washer, only dryer. Such an illogical setup. The desk is not helpful when they are available. You can see them sign when you show up to ask for help or questions. The pool area was advertised but sealed off and you could not even get a view from this area. We paid for an extra bunk bed. It was in such a small room that there was no way you could even stand inside the room. You had to just walk in and get into the beds. But because the room was so small that it could hold only the bunk bed, no one slept in that room. so we ended up sleeping on the couch outside. The bathrooms did not have towel hooks. so you had to keep your stuff including towels on the basin. dated appliances. So very small things that you take for granted, was missing here. It felt that the owners just want to hold on to this property and so they went ahead and decided to offer hotel space. Horrible experience for a vacation.

Bad experience Bad experience. I tried to contact them to let them know that I would arrive at 8pm and they never responded, I had to make a new reservation and spend some time with my family

Excellent location. An easy 15 minute walk to restaurants in Villefranche and Beaulieu, 30 minute walk to St Jean Cap Ferrat. The apartment block is jaded and needs a refurb. The apartments are also tiny, the one we rented slept 5 ( tiny double room, small bathroom, kitchenette with no oven just hob/dw/ microwave and two sofas that would serve as single beds and one bed tucked away which would take up the whole floor area. I have stayed in bigger mobile homes. The pool is lovely but we were charged 5 euros each to use it for a day. We were given coloured wrist bands but were the only ones there with them, apparently the whole business arrangement between Pierre et vacances and customers/owners/apartments sublet independently is a mess. We requested air con, having heard that not all apartments were fitted with it. We were told by phone there would be a charge of " about 10 euros a day". We weren't charged. The place was spotless, the pool bar great Nearest supermarket was 15 minute walk away towards Beaulieu port, a far better one was 20 minute away by Beaulieu train station (Super U). We got an Uber back for 12 euros and stocked up on heavies. Will definitely return but will require cast iron proof of A/C . Seaview apt is essential.

We were sharing a small apartment with another couple, good friends of ours. We found the location fantastic. A short walk to the beach and into Villefranch and Beaulieu. Close to bus stops and train station for trips into Nice and Monaco and further afield. The public transport system is brilliant and good value. By the way, the 100 bus is now the 607. The hotel itself is fine. Rooms are small but adequate. Everything is clean and tidy. There is a very nice pool. The only problem we had is that we didn’t realise that there is no one on reception on a Sunday, the day we arrived. However we managed to use the phone number on the front door which connected us to someone from the hotel and as a result we were able to open the key box and get into our room. If you are looking for a well situated, clean and tidy hotel this represents excellent value.

Nice place in Nice.

We used to stay here in the '80s but when our favourite hotel in Villefranche (the Welcome) was closed for a month in February 2022 we decided to return here. Nothing has changed since the '80s and it's been cosmetically damaged for repairs over the years leaving the building looking very shabby. However, we sort of knew what to expect and just wanted a large apartment for a balcony for a few days with easy walking access to Villefranche and Cap Ferrat. The criticism is meant in the spirit of being constructive and we'd very likely return for the space and the location but it's getting tired and this need not be the case.
