Liked: Nice historic building, antic furniture in bedroom, tarrace, garden with kiwi and orande tree

Disliked: The bedding wasn't ironed, so it looked like somebody else was sleeping there, breakfast was very poor /I would suggest the owner to buy some cheese, yogurts and fruit/.

Liked: When I looked at where to book for my stay in Nice, I came across Villa Aramis and quickly noticed that the ratings are either 100% or 0%. I have originally booked the hostel for 19 nights and have now been here for almost a month. That probably says it all. But let me go into further detail: 1st: This is neither a hotel, nor a hostel. It's a Guesthouse. So there are no dorms, no bars, no party-events and all that. It's a cozy little house with 7 rooms, some are double beds, some single beds and one is a four bedroom with en suite bathroom. You got a nice kitchen with a huge fridge in where you can keep your stuff and really everything you need to eat in Nice quite cheap. Induction oven, Microwave, ... The owner is living here himself. And it rather feels like a big flat-/ houseshare. 2nd: The location is great. It's literally just two minutes from the tram stop. One ride with the tram costs 1,- € or 4,- € for the whole day. You can also easily walk into the old city and to the beaches (though that takes roughly 15 minutes) but it's really very central, however, not too central so you're not in the middle of a busy tourist street or so. Shops are nearby. Carrefour, Dia and even a Lidl (<- where you get your stuff really cheap) and Monoprix. 3rd: Nicolas, the owner, is a very friendly and kind person. For instance I came to Nice in order to get a job and a flat. He always helped me when I needed help. His girlfriend and he proofread my CV and covering letter. So that's all stuff that shows the atmosphere in this Guesthouse. 4th: The breakfast is great. You get fresh baguette, butter and a huge selection of marmelade, honey, nutella, cacao, milk and a huge selection of cereals (ever tasted Lion cereals?). Just perfect. I sometimes ate fried some eggs which I bought at the supermarket for breakfast. Which is no problem at all as everybody can use the kitchen whenever they want. 5th: There is really value for the price. Every room has a huge mirror and a flatscreen. Internet is available everywhere. There's no cost for a "lock" (which you often have to buy in hostels in order to lock in your stuff), no cost for the towels, no cost for the washing machine and dryer. Now, which hostel can beat that? After staying here for almost a month now, I can happily recommand Villa Aramis to everybody who likes to have a friendly atmosphere. In my opinion ideal for young couples or young families.

Disliked: I liked everything to be honest.

Liked: Good location, only 3 stops on the tram from the train station, costs 1 euro. Nice rooms and good breakfast of cereal, toast and coffee. Nicholas was very friendly and helpful although doesn't speak much English.

Disliked: The pets, 2 cats and a dog, had the run of the house including being on our bed one night when we got home late. The cat bowl was on the kitchen bench next to the dishes and toaster - not hygenic! Also there was only 1 shower for all the rooms as the upstairs bathroom is being renovated. Still, we never had to wait for the shower as this is a small hostel in a private house with only about 5 or 6 rooms.

Liked: This is the best hostel ive been in beacause it doesn't feel like one. This is a private house with 6 rooms. You have access to the whole house wich is very nice theirs a back garden and the room we had on the secound floor was very spacious. We had a flat screen with satellite and balcony with chairs table and a hammac to relax on its great.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: We liked everything about this property. It was clean and tidy. The rooms were very nice and spacious with a nice view out our window of the courtyard. There was also a T.V and DVD player in our room. Free internet and a very yummy breakfast included in the price. A kitchen with great facilities and a large lounge area and courtyard to relax in. We also liked that there were pets there too. The owner Nicolas was very friendly, accommodating and helpful. We would love to stay there again and recommend it to others.

Disliked: There was nothing that we disliked about this property, everything was great.
