This holiday was good in parts. We enjoyed the train from Paris to Nice. It does take a long time and by evening it was too dark to see the beautiful Mediterranean coastline. The walk to the hotel at 9 o'clock at night dragging suitcases wearied many. The hotel was a disappointment. The rooms were small, the curtains in our room were threadbare, the carpets in the communal areas were filthy. Breakfast was good. Cost cutting was evident in the number of free days and the holiday ending on a Friday not Saturday. Included meals were of a reasonable standard but taken in restaurants a 10-15 minutes walk away. Some of our group had to take taxis. Our guide, Alan, was genial and unflappable despite one or two problems. He shepherded us across Paris and delivered us to and from Eurostar efficiently. We enjoyed the excursions to Eze and St Paul de Vence. The visit to Grasse was not a visit but a retail opportunity at the Fragonard factory and a waste of a morning. We have travelled with GRJ before, to the Swiss Alps. This tour was, sadly, not up to the same standard.

It really is a very pleasant seaside place to visit but if we had the weather here in the UK I can think of several seaside places within striking distance that I would prefer to go to. The visit to Monaco and St Paul de Vence were particularly good and worthwhile but all in all there was too much free time in Nice itself.

Your good but “hotel” totally unacceptable. Located in a back street a long walk to Nice city centre, front or restaurants. No lounge, dining room or bar. Breakfast eaten in reception area on low tables and uncomfortable chairs. Insufficient seats for everyone. It was a poor quality bed & breakfast. Totally unlike any hotel stayed in on previous holidays. Barbara and Mike Partridge.

The hotel was too cramped with minimal guest facilities e.g. no lounge or bar and was too far from the sea front. It was realy not much more than a B & B.

Enjoyed the trip but found Hotel Otero disappointing. It is okay for a one-night stay but inadequate for a week.
