Les Cygnes was a lovely, small hotel. A very quiet venue which was perfectly cleaned, very nicely decorated and large room/ large bathroom and small balcony with enough room for two chairs and small table overlooking the interesting buildings and a distant view across the town.
Although no drinks were provided in the room, a small area in the garden basement was available with self service snacks and hot drinks to purchase. The continental breakfast, served in the garden, had an extra charge but was more than adequate with croissant/pastries, coffee and fruit. The host was a very pleasant and helpful lady, who sent several useful texts during our stay. The hotel was a fairly short but hilly walk away from the main road into town and the seafront.
A very pleasant and quiet hotel for a visit to Nice and nearby towns, including Monaco, with great, inexpensive public transport, including the tram linking central Nice with the airport.

perfect stay in an idyllic spot

the hotelier, Régine, made herself available to text messages and checked in with us daily to make sure the stay was going well and gave recommendations for dining and activities. coming from a tiny hotel room in paris, the room was roomy, beautiful, had incredible views + a balcony, and was well equipped with a fridge and strong AC. the hotel was a brief walk from the sea, and there were plenty of restaurants/boulangeries/grocers within a short walk. the nearest tram station was only a ~5 minute walk away, and provided rapid and cheap access to old Nice, Place Garibaldi, NCE airport, Nice-Ville train station, and really anywhere else you’d wish to go in town without needing to order an uber.

I’ll definitely stay here again!

What a fortuitous find!

The Hotel Villa les Cygnes is a small hotel, very well situated - the Musée des Beaux Arts is just down the road and the Promenade is a short walk away - and is kept impeccably clean.

A very friendly welcome was continued by attentive care, informed answers to questions and helpful advice.

I’ll definite Stay here again!

A hidden gem!! Close enough to the beaches (a 5 minute walk), but tucked away on a quiet winding street. The architecture around the hotel is gorgeous.

My room was huge and had a balcony which allowed me to take in the views of Nice in the morning and evening.

Highly highly recommend staying here. It feels like you’re in your own private Villa and the price is extremely reasonable especially considering the quality of the hotel. I plan to come back!

Relaxing stay at Villa Les Cygnes

Nicolas was very helpful in checking us in, and was so friendly when he welcomed us. We loved the room and, the bathroom. They were very clean, nicely decorated, and had plenty of space. The location was great, and within walking distance of the city center in Nice. Our favorite part was eating the breakfast Nicolas prepared for us in the garden, and visiting with his \"assistant,\" an adorable chubby cat.

Sweet little guest house in Nice

We had an enjoyable 3 night stay at Villa les Cynes in Nice. The staff were very friendly, offering help and recommendations. Hotel was spotlessly clean! Was a little further from the centre of town, perhaps a 30 min walk, but was very easy by bike, which are very cheap and easy to hire in Nice, so not a problem for us!

Very small hotel in a quiet neighborhood just a couple of street from the Promenade with easy access to public transportation. Since it does not have 24 hours service, I would not recommend it for needy guests. Our room was comfortable and very clean.

Comfortable small hotel in a quiet neighborhood

Villa Les Cygnes is a small hotel in a quiet neighborhood just outside the busier parts of Nice. It is a designated quiet hotel that lived up to its claim. We had a standard garden level room (1) with a view into the patio and breakfast area. The room was clean, comfortable, updated, and big enough including a large bathroom with shower. All flooring was tile. The air conditioning worked well, and there was a very small TV that we didn't use. There were few people, even for breakfast so there was no issue with noise. We did not eat breakfast at the hotel. I believe that at least some of the upper level superior rooms include a balcony and free parking but we were informed that there was no parking available with our standard room. Since we didn't have guaranteed parking, we returned our car to the airport before checking in and took a taxi (35 euros, 15-20 minutes) to the hotel. Since this was our last stop in France and we were flying out of Nice in two days, we didn't need a car, and returning early saved us some time on our early morning departure flight. On arrival, the friendly manager, who spoke English well, greeted us. He explained hotel policies, gave us a map and showed us the route to the promenade, beach, and restaurants. Note that this hotel is not staffed 24 hours, so check in times are restricted (until 8PM and closed for lunch), but you may be able to arrange a late check in. I definitely recommend this hotel but may consider a superior room upgrade.

A charming small hotel in a quiet neighbourhood.

We loved our stay at this charming, very small, hotel in a quiet neighbourhood, yet close to the Promenade des Anglais and the beach. It is around 20 minutes walk away from the old town but along the promenade by the glorious blue sea so not a problem. Lots of buses also run along the promenade which is around 7 mins from the hotel and bus fares are very cheap!

Cute boutique hotel

Lovely boutique hotel in a quiet residential area near the Beaux Arts museum. It's relatively close to a thoroughfare with restaurants and the Promenade, but a fairly long walk from Vieux Nice. About a 20€ taxi ride from Nice Ville station. Room was wonderful, with nice decor, twin luggage racks, comfortable bed, private balcony, and double vanity in the bathroom. The tub was nice but due to limited water supplies in this low-rain area, the plug is disabled to prevent drawing a bath. The only other problem is the folding shower door does a poor job keeping shower water off the floor, making it a little hazardous getting out sometimes. The front desk has limited hours, so check to make sure it will be manned when you arrive. We found it easier to communicate by email sometimes!

Quiet neighborhood

The host, Nicholas, is very attentive. This guesthouse is in a quiet neighborhood, very close to Musee des Beaux-Arts. Best to travel by car or taxi. We were only in Nice a very short time, but the room was confortable. The building is very old and there are doors and fixtures that are delicate and/or can't be touched. Wouldn't be comfortable for small children.

Beautiful hotel steps from Musee des Beaux Arts

I had a beautiful, quiet room overlooking a tranquil garden. The host is wonderfully kind and full of helpful information about the area. The hotel is located in a residential area about a 20 min walk from the beach--no problem if you enjoy walking. More accessible by car, but still pleasant on foot. Highly recommended if you want quiet and more residential charm.

Big clean rooms

Booked this hotel due to great reviews. It is more like a B&B, being very small, but it is very comfortable and well located for the city and beaches. Nicolas manages the hotel pretty much on his own from what I could tell and he does a very good job and his English is pretty good. I would recommend for couples looking for a clean above average sized room in Nice in a B&B/small hotel that is good value.

Outstanding!

I booked a two night stay at Villa les Cygnes after reading all the excellent reviews, but had to wonder...could it really be that good? It was, and more. From the warm welcome from Nicholas, to the large, comfortable, quiet room, to the excellent breakfast served in the beautiful garden, it was outstanding in every way. Nicholas was a friendly, enthusiastic host. The hotel is located in a quiet neighbourhood, just up the street from the Museé de Beaux Arts. It is a 5 minute walk down to the Promenade des Anglais, then a 20 minute walk along the Mediterranean on the beachfront promenade to Old Nice. When the day or night is done, you can escape the busy-ness and retreat back to the quiet oasis of the Villa.

En fantastisk oplevelse

Inden ankomst blev vi kontaktet af hotellet som via WhatsApp sendte en fin vejledning til hvordan vi kom fra lufthavnen til hotellet. Det gjorde det nemt at komme frem og gav en rolig start på ferie. Efter vi havde tjekket ind, fik vi anbefalinger til flere forskellige restauranter, dette var efter forespørgsel fra os. Der kunne tilkøbes morgenmad som blev serveret nede i gården, det var en fin og lækker morgenmad. Der var en rigtig god oplevelse at bo på hotellet og vi følte os virkelig imødekommet.

Kleines Hotel mit Herz

Wir waren angenehm überrascht von diesem kleinen, typisch französischem Hotelchen, das in einem ruhigen Wohngebiet umgeben von Grün liegt. Durch eine in der Nähe befindlichen Bushaltestelle waren wir in ca. 8 Minuten in der Stadt. Die Zimmer waren hübsch und sauber und verfügten über moderne, sehr geschmackvolle Badezimmer. Der Besitzer war freundlich und servierte uns am Morgen in der Sonne ein kleines Frühstück im Garten, wenn gewünscht mit Eiern und Pancakes. Sehr sehr schön. Absolut zu empfehlen für Menschen, die mal abseits vom üblichen Hotelstandard wohnen möchten. Nichts für Leute, die ein umfangreiches Frühstücksbuffet als Start in den Tag brauchen.
Wir haben unseren kurzen Aufenthat von 2 Übernachtungen jedenfalls sehr genossen!
