Reviews of Hôtel Miramar 3 stars

The location and character of the old villa, a quick.walk into the centre for restaurants. Nice terrace for breakfast or drinks.. We have been here on more than one occasion

Oh...the endless stairs, with cases! But to be fair we.know there is no lift! Next time I will ask for a room on a lower floor!

Lovely old building, great swimming pool with stunning views of mountains. Nice continental breakfast but €14 pp is expensive for what you get.

No aircon, rooms were too hot and uncomfortable with just one floor fan. The lady who ran the hotel and clearly the staff’s boss was extremely rude and didn’t speak any English. When we first arrived she only gave us one key for two rooms and insisted that was all we needed. She probably didn’t understand me saying that one key was not enough surely for 2 rooms on two different floors for our family of four. When she finally realised after us trying the one key for both locks she didn’t apologise and just gave us another key. She was very friendly to other French guests but didn’t smile at all to us. How can anyone running a hotel not speak English? She had to use a translation app on her phone. She also charged us city tax on arrival and departure and later acknowledged just before we left that that was a mistake and gave us cash back thankfully. No smiles, no pleasant welcome. No feeling that we were welcome at all. She told us the code for the main front door only after we got locked out and didn’t apologise for that either. We feel the staff need to speak English.

The hotel bulding is beautiful and we've a good vue. The swimming pool is good.

We don't have the aircondition in room, it was very hot more than 35. we can't get to sleep in night, it was terrible. We booked a room for three as the description in Booking, but the property would like to invoice 10 euros per night for my son's bed, after a conversation finally she remove this additional unreasonable fees. However it caused the confusion and unpleasant feeling.

Really noisy people partied until 4 in morning with no consideration

Views were amazing

The place is located in a beautiful setting and the views are amazing.

Staff didn’t speak English. Our dog wasn’t allowed to be left on her own in the room. That is quite ridiculous.

Clean, beautiful

No restaurant, no bar until evening , no possibility to even order a coffee

Terrace, pool, breakfast

Pool area not very clean

Great pool. Beautiful views and close to the old city. Parking was great.

Check in was quite late, would be nice to have an early check in option. No mosquito netting on the windows, coupled with a very noise air con made not a bad night sleep.

The views from the patio and our room on the top floor are fantastic breakfast is very nice. With a good choice of meats, cheese fresh fruit and pastries. There is off street free parking and it’s a short walk to the center of town and the old town of Vence. Quiet and serene

It’s difficult to get to the hotel from the parking lot if you have trouble walking. There’s a steep cobblestone path with many uneven steps. Also there is no elevator for the higher floors. It’s 22 steps per flight. The top floor where we stayed in room 24 is 88 steps. The manager is only there in the morning and leaves after breakfast. Check in is remote and there is a password for the front door lock which we had to get from a guest as we arrived in the afternoon when no manager was there. . There is also an unseen step just inside the front door which can cause a nasty fall if you’re not prepared for it. Rooms are comfortable but furniture shows its age.

I loved the hotel Miramar. I loved its refreshing, rarely-encountered-now simplicity, the yellow walls and terracotta-coloured simple furniture, and I still remember the "Ah!" when I walked through the door and saw the view, which is even more beautiful from the terrace. It was a lovely room to stay in. The hotel offers a lavish, varied buffet breakfast for 14 euro, very good value. The Miramar is for people who can appreciate this combination of basic comfort and cleanliness with simplicity.

It’s an older hotel but beautifully furnished. Rooms are spacious. Lady at reception didn’t speak much English but she was incredibly friendly. The panoramic view of my room was so beautiful. Walking downtown is about a 6 minute walk. It’s my 2nd visit and I recommend staying here.

Perfect location as a home base to explore Vence and its neighboring villages, the historical vibe of the hotel and the decoration. The hotel owners are very attentive and friendly as well.

I don’t have anything that I disliked.

I had a very nice room with a balcony and wonderful views of the valley and mountains.

There were a few things I didn't like that really ruined my experience of the hotel: 1. The bathroom was dirty. When I filled it with hot water, it smelled bad. 2. The sink had a clogged pipe and the water didn't drain well (it took a minute for the sink to fill up, so it was hard to even wash your face). 3. When I opened the lid of the table in my room, there was someone's long hair and trash... 4. The pool was closed. It was early November and the weather was fine. I would have liked to sit by the pool (or maybe even swim). And the fact that it was closed was unpleasant. 5. The hotel advertised a bar and that it was possible to order a glass of Aperol or wine... And there was a menu with prices in the hotel. But the bar area was empty, there was no one there during the day... That is, there was no opportunity to sit on the hotel terrace (for which I stayed in this hotel) and order an Aperol to drink it with a view of the mountains... just an empty hotel, an empty bar, an empty terrace (which was also not always open) 6. Breakfast at the hotel for 14 euros is the worst (look at he photo). Poor. Apart from a cup, saucer and teaspoon there were no additional utensils. I had to eat muesli with milk with a small spoon. The choice of products is super-poor. A big disappointment.

Perfect location, wonderful panorama, breakfast on a sunny terrace, room with a view, swimming pool, Vence old town in walking distance, super friendly and helpful management!

The location is great. Amazing view from the balcony. Easy to park.

The service was non existent. Bathe day before arrival we were informed in French that nobody would be in the reception upon arrival. The code functioned and we found our key and room. We met the staff the next day, they did not want to speak to us at all. No welcoming at all. The staff seemed hostile towards us - we are danish - but seemed friendly to the French guests. Very very unpleasant. It was not possible for us to get breakfast, we couldn’t even have a cup of coffee. The breakfast room - that we obviously did not use was covered we negative notes like: only 3 cups of coffee per person. Only for breakfast. Don’t bring the service to your room etc. very hostile attitude. The flush mechanism in the toilet was broken so we were worried if it would work. There wasn’t enough toilet paper for a two night stay. No extra left in the room. The bathtub could not be used as they had removed the lid in the bottom so it couldn’t hold the water. Very little pressure in the shower, took ages to get warm. The door to the balcony is in the bathroom. It works but not perfect. The price for this double room should be no more than euro 100.

Wonderful view from the terrace and pool. Only 10 mins flat walk to Vence from a quiet area. It is next to the football pitches so some kids noise on Saturday afternoon but nothing to worry about. Breakfast was excellent and the newish owners are doing it up, so not everything is super modern yet, but that's part of the charm. Wifi was good too!

Very little. All good.

Position, mountain/valley view.

Maintenance slightly run down. Rooms very basic, obsolete bathroom. Breakfast, poor value for money.

The terrace.

The beds, the size of one of our rooms and the lack of heating!

Great pool and great view

The room lacked aircon and no fridge. The room was so hot we didn't sleep. The bar was only open from 5pm in the evening, and during hot summer days they could have provided cold drinking water.
