Miramar

This hotel is very dated 80s decor. No plug for the bath although didn't look very inviting, not all windows opened in the room. Breakfast was expensive at 14 euros each. Staff not very friendly or helpful.

A family runs Hotel Miramar, and they are very charming and helpful. The hotel is like visiting your favorite grandmother's home, charming, quirky, and old. This is the real France, with its modest discomforts and idiosyncrasies. Excellent location to visit the area - we did several amazing hikes and visited Tourette sur Loup and Vence. We especially enjoyed the beautiful terrace with its fantastic views. We enjoyed a great dinner on the terrace of prepared food and ordered a few glasses of wine from the bar. Would happily stay here again.

There is far more to like about this charming, spectacularly located hotel, than the is to quibble about. The 270° view from the terrace is breathtaking and on a balmy evening with a chilled glass of wine from the adjacent bar, there are very few experiences to compare. The swimming pool is delightful and is cleaned scrupulously. The decor and furnishings are faded and are somewhat dated and are either ‘scruffy’ or ‘shabby’ depending on your perspective. We tended towards the latter and would be inclined to add ‘chic’. Vence which is a leisurely ten minute stroll away is a quintessentially Provençal town. We ate and drank some of the best food and wine available and every evening was different. Our hosts were delightful but their English is limited and I’d recommend that anyone visiting. who has limited French (as do we) should look up a few helpful phrases. Our visit unfortunately coincided with the hotel’s cleaner being taken ill. This meant the room wasn’t serviced every day for which the hotel owner apologised profusely. We enjoyed a very pleasant week in Vence and we hope the young couple running this charming hotel are successful and are able to make the changes that (we’re sure they know) are necessary. We look forward to that happening and would then keenly anticipate a return.

Our room was clean and comfortable, the staff were pleasant and efficient and provided a very good breakfast. Views from rooms and the spacious terrace (with a bar) we're just superb. Just sorry we didn't have time to use the pool. (Also reviewed in Booking)

This place was truly awful. We have been touring France and everyone we have met has been kind and helpful. The owner was aggressive and would not communicate in English. There was only one room left when we booked. This was room 6. It was dirty (eg a corner of the room was disgustingly full of spiders and I think I got flea bites from the carpet). There were no accessible electric points in the room. It was old and wallpaper cracked. There was a fan but it was huge and took up most of the room. Seems other rooms may be better but do not stay in this room and *******, please stop selling. We left why did not stay here.

We booked the last room in the hotel, not because of cost, because it was the last room. What a mistake! The room was filthy - there was a dirty gap in the corner where there were lots of spider. There weren’t any plug sockets - I bent down on the floor and came away with 7 bites which I think came from fleas. There was a huge machine which I think was a fan The decor is old and dirty and I felt grubby even walking into the room. I wish I had taken photos of the room but only have the front entrance. This is the fifth place we have stayed on this visit to France. Without exception, everyone before has been professional and friendly. Here the hotelier was aggressive from the moment we walked in and was only interested in making sure we knew the code to get back in at night as they wanted to go home. After a long argument, ******* and the owner agreed that we would be moved to another hotel. Be very careful of this hotel. This room should not be sold to anyone.

The property is very dated throughout. Carpeting should have been replaced a long time ago. There are also no fans nor any air conditioners available. When I turned on the faucet for the sink, a bunch of nasty stuff started bubbling out through the drain in the shower. I would not stay here again nor would I recommend this place to my friends or relatives.

Top rate service, Daniel is an accommodating host, when I needed to call upon him, he was always available and amenable. Things are a little tired in the hotel, but everything was clean. I guess like any small business, if you spend and invest money, the price point would be higher and the demands of the majority of clients would be higher too…. A catch situation! My recommendation is to pay more for a room and enjoy more space maybe something a little fresher. If you are on a budget, the basic rooms are acceptable though! One point I should have mentioned to him, and I’m sure it’s an oversight is that the Terrasse lights aren’t left on for customers at night.

Not luxury in a modern way, but what an atmosphere and a superb location! This old-fashioned hotel overlooks the montains and costal area of Vence / Nice. Enjoy your breakfast, a few hours with a book or a night cap at the quiet terrasse. A dip in the pool as a break. Take a walk to Vence for dinner or visit the adorable art museum Foundation Maeght nearby. What’s not to like?!
