We spent one night in this hotel before moving into our villa. The room we were in was extremely small but this is pretty consistent with most French hotels in this price bracket. Really nothing too much to complain about. The breakfast was good and there was a nice ambience drinking coffee on the terrace amid the vines. Everything is... More

Villefranche-sur-Mer is the best town to stay in la cote d'azur. It's perfect, it's beautiful, it's close to everything, the people are great! With that, Hotel Provencal is a nice hotel. Yes the building is old and the beds are ok as far as comfort, but it's perfectly situated in the middle of town, it's clean, and the family was... More

The hotel is located in what we consider to be the best town in the Riviera. The hotel is quite old, although at the time of our visit (June 2011) the guest rooms had undergone a recent refurbishment. Our room was extremely well kept (thanks to the renovation), clean and spacious enough to be comfortable for my wife and I... More

We originally booked a hotel in Nice but inasmuch as we had a car found it inconvenient and decided to check out Villafranche su mer. We came into the town and came across Hotel Provencal. It is in a wonderful location with easy access to the bus going into Nice. We found the hotel slightly run down but the rooms... More

This charming older hotel has a great location - short walk to old town as well as public transportation. This is a great place to stay while adjusting to time difference. Breakfast downstairs, fruit around the corner and Pizza across the street. Tourist info office across the street as well. No good wifi that I could find. More

I first stayed at the Provencal as a child in 1961 when my Dad was with the U.S. Navy 7th fleet and the Navy put families up at hotels until we could find local rentals. I remembered it as beautiful and elegant, making me feel like a little rich girl. So it was nostalgia that led me to book at... More

The review sof this hotel scared me a bit to be honest before we went! I have stayed in several hotels in France and am not bothered about star ratings in terms of desks and trouser presses, and am also not really desperate for a sea view, particularly in Villefranche which is so beautiful you can see it all the...

Surprised how good this hotel is after reading Tripadvisor. Great location, close to centre, with friendly, helpful staff. Room was simple & minimalist; newly decorated (a mirror in the room & voile curtain would have helped). Great breakfast in a beautiful garden. Very happy. More

This hotel has a good location for bus connections and a comfortable lobby BUT that is where the good news ends. Once you leave this area the hallways are dark and the elevator barely large enough for two people with luggage. The room had no deadbolt and the connecting door to the next room had a latch that could easily... More
