Fantastic hotel! All the staff are very friendly and helpful.
My room was small however, it was sufficient for me. More importantly it was clean and well maintained.
The location of the hotel is very good as you have the train station, Gare De Nice Ville 5 minutes walking distance down the road. The Promenade Des Anglais is approximately 12 minutes walking distance.

Stayed here over the weekend for two nights with a friend while visiting Nice.
Hotel is situated 5 minute walk from main Nice train station - Gare villa. Which is reached by the No. 99 bus from terminal 2 at Nice airport (bus drops you right outside hotel or train station wherever you prefer.
We visited Monte Carlo for the day while here, and were able to jump on the train at main station near us and 25mins later we were in Monaco,
Hotel is about 15/20 min walk to main promenade/old Nice.
Arrived at hotel around 10am and was immediately introduced with a very friendly staff member on the desk who checked us in and showed us our room(which we are able to get into before the usual 3pm check in)
Room was quaint, with a jungle vibe decor. Good size and we had our very own balcony which got a lot of the afternoon/evening sun.
Staff were extremely helpful when letting us know where all attractions and bus routes were.
Did not partake in the breakfast as so many close restaurants nearby.
Beds were very comfy and shower was a power shower. Great.
Had a safe and fridge in room for you to keep everything you wanted in room.
Highly recommend this hotel for its location, very friendly staff and price. Completely worth the money.
Dear Claire M,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It is a great satisfaction for us that our services and our staff have met all your expectations, and have made you turn an unforgettable moment!
The Villa Bougainville is a Villa Nice of a former explorer, it is melted in an exceptional Belle-Epoque building typical of the Quartier des Musicians. The decoration cultivates a felted exoticism enhanced by this decoration inspired by botany and navigation for your stay under the sign of the escape. You are immersed in a universe Exuberant & Exotic which makes this hotel a unique place of its kind! The train station is located 5 minutes by walk from the hotel and the old city is located 15 minutes by walk from the hotel.We particularly wish to make the stay of each of our customers unique and unforgettable, it is one of our commitments. Looking forward to welcoming you again very soon to Villa Bougainville in Nice. Thanks again.
Amandine ESTEVE.
The staff at Villa Bougainville are really lovely; we were warmly welcomed and very pleased to hear that our room was ready on arrival (late morning) which was a nice surprise. We stayed for our wedding anniversary, so a special break for us.
The hotel has a really quirky layout which looks lovely, but the vintage lift often didn't come so we had to climb the stairs to the 4th floor. Good exercise I suppose!
The room was very tiny though with only one mirror inside the wardrobe so for myself and my husband getting ready in the morning, it was a case of constantly tripping over each other. The decor was lovely but there were some issues we had such as broken net curtains (as the curtain rail was fitted to close to the window so the hooks snapped every time the window was opened). We stayed during a period of warm weather and asked for our air conditioning to be fixed as it didn't seem to work on the first night (and being near the station/a main road it is too noisy to leave the window open, despite the kind provision of ear plugs in the room) only to be told that the air conditioning wasn't yet switched on for the summer. I did notice that it was working in reception when we left so perhaps just not in the guest rooms themselves? It meant for a hot and bad night's sleep every night, which was a shame.
The fridge in our room also didn't work, which we mentioned after the first night. It was eventually fixed the next day. Also the main light in the room didn't work, which was fixed but immediately broke again.
We didn't sample the breakfast so I can't comment on the food, but the coffee machine in reception was a nice touch.
Being a frequent travel (business and leisure), I sadly don't think this has the facilities of a 4-star hotel, but it does make a good place to explore Nice, if you're willing to over look a lot of small niggles!
We weren't asked if we had a good stay when we left, so I didn't feel we had an opportunity to share such comments, having that the previous feedback about the air con and the light being fixed before breaking again. Lots of potential for this little place but it needs work...

Thanks very much to the Villa Bougainville team for it's happiness and thanks to Hassen for his passion.
The room was amazing with a increable decoration and the breakfast was perfect.
The localisation, 5 minutes from the train station and the city center, it's really great to discover the city and take time to dinner in a famous Nice restaurant. Everything is close by walk.
I recommanded this hotel for a stay in Nice.
