Hotel Otero was well located between the train station and the beach. We liked the neighborhood which had restaurants and bars and parks, away from strictly tourist areas. The hotel is charming with larger rooms and traditional decor. The breakfast space each morning was beautiful. Recommend this hotel for a good base in Nice.

Verified review

6/10 Good

The hotel room was extremely small. There was barely enough space to walk alongside the bed — it felt more like a bed with a room around it than an actual room. The soundproofing was also very poor. We could clearly hear noises and conversations through the walls. Fortunately, the guests in the next room didn’t stay up talking for too long, so it didn’t become a major problem. On the positive side, the lady who prepared breakfast was genuinely kind, cheerful and very helpful. I’m sure the other members of staff are equally nice, but we didn’t have much interaction with them, so I certainly have nothing negative to say about the service. Overall, it wasn’t just the room — the whole hotel felt rather cramped, with everything squeezed into a limited space. Having coffee available throughout the day was a nice touch and made up for the lack of coffee facilities in the room. If this were a lower-category hotel, I probably wouldn’t be this critical. However, considering that it is advertised as a 4-star hotel, my expectations were naturally higher. In my opinion, the facilities and overall experience simply do not meet the standard I would expect from a four-star hotel.

Helpful staff. We were also given free breakfast. Close to train station. Easy walking to every where. Hotel room is small but comfortable. We also took the train to visit Monaco.
Verified review

6/10 Good

We stayed for four nights. The first two nights were fine, however there was no hot water for the final two nights of our stay. Reception confirmed that the issue affected the building and unfortunately it was not resolved before our departure. To their credit, the hotel later provided a partial refund of €150 after our complaint. However, losing hot water for half of our stay significantly affected our experience. The room was otherwise comfortable and the location was convenient, but I hope the hotel takes steps to prevent similar issues in the future.
