Pierre & Vacances Residence L'Ange Gardien

Great location & friendly staff

The property has some good facility and was in a good location but had no air conditioning in the very small rooms. There were also no fans, which would have been great given it was so hot and there was no A/C. Our room backed onto the railway and since we had to sleep with the doors open due to the lack of A/C, we were woken up by the regular trains as well as eaten by mosquitoes. When booking we were unaware that the rooms were not air conditioned as this was not stated and the listing had photos of rooms with air conditioners in them and no delineation between the available rooms with or without air conditioning, the descriptions were all the same (bar size, beds, etc, but no mention of A/C), so as a basic room facility we were stunned to find the rooms were not air conditioned and consequently had an incredibly uncomfortable, sleepless night. We felt that there had not been full disclosure of information about the rooms and that we were therefore unable to make a fully informed decision about our stay and were misled about the rooms facility, we requested relocation to a room with A/C (which we were prepared to pay extra for) but none were available so we requested a refund on the residual of our stay so we could find alternative air conditioned accommodation. We were promised a refund by the Manager Krystina, but a week later are yet to receive this.

Good balcony and surroundings but room/studios could use an upgrade specially in bathroom. Pipes on show and smelly. Pool toilets dirty and smelly too. Gardens and pool very nice

Superb location walking distance to 2 beaches and local transport, very good pool and terrace (with a really good snack bar). Studios are quite cramped, but views from most are very good while still maintaining privacy, and reasonably quiet despite the adjoining train line. The complex was probably the height of self-catering family accommodation when it opened in 1987, still well-kept but rather dated now. Staff very helpful when they are there, but reception is closed more often than open. Despite its limitations, this is probably the best place available for a stay of a week or more - we'll be back!

When we got there at 20.30, there was no one at the reception and we could not get in.I had to phone a friend in Paris to speak to a number that was displayed.We got in 2 hours later. Got in the room and it was too small and two single beds.!! bathroom light flickering, shower head broken and dirty dishes in the dishwasher.I rang Expedia to complain and costing a fortune to be on hold for 20 mins. Nothing was done by you and on the 5 th day I paid an extra 100 Euros to change my room with a double bed. I will never use Expedia again.I had not used you for 5 yrs and my last 2 booking with you were a disaster and costly , let alone the stress.

We arrived quite late, we had been given a code to enter but it was wrong, thankfully there was a resident there to let us in. We were shocked at the size of the studio apartment. We had requested a double bed (which we didn't get) and the room was not air conditioned so it was very stuffy. We had to make up our own beds, they provide sheets and pillow cases but no duvet covers! As the room was so hot we didn't need the duvets. The positives of this residence is that the location is good (between Villefranche and Beaulieu sur mer), the bus for Nice and Monaco stops right outside the grounds and its close to some lovely beaches. It also has a lovely pool area overlooking the bay. There is a small bar which is open until 9 (later if it's anyway busy)serving cans of beer,a selection of spirits and sodas and house wine, they also do food until 4pm. If you are travelling with kids I would suggest you book a much bigger apartment as ours was far too small for 4 of us. Oh and bring your own toilet paper.....they only provide one roll!!!

we used it as a base for my son to participate in the iRONMAN fRANCE. Great for Monaco, Italy even Barcelona for the day. Great little place, Beautiful swimming pool. Not happy with the £2 per day sunbed charge so didn't use one. Had an item break in the room and it was repaired the next morning. would stay there again.

I stayed here two nights with my husband and daughter. We had a beautiful view from our balcony although the room was quite small even though we had a suite. The traffic noise from the road next to the hotel can be quite loud at night. The hotel staff was very helpful we were five hours early to check in due to our flight being so early in the morning and they still allowed us into our room. Free gated private parking was very convenient. The residence's lobby is not manned 24 hours a day so if you need something after 7 PM you're not going to be able to get it from them. Overall this hotel was fine for our first trip to Nice. If you're traveling on a budget and are only staying there a couple of nights it is worth it.

I'ts very convenient to go around the city of Ville Franche ,the transport to Monaco and Menton.I recommend hotels.com website should give better direction for newcomer how to get transportation from train station to the residence . And also what to bring, because this place close in the evening and nobody at the reception Answers your phone in case you need a service

This is a very basic standard of self catering, perfectly adequate for our week long holiday as we just used it for sleeping and breakfast. The location is great; between Villefranche and Beaulieu Sur Mer beaches, so you can choose which beach you prefer. The staff are friendly and helpful. Buses pass regularly and the train is nearby
