Reviews for Résidence Pierre & Vacances l'Ange Gardien
Review 1：Wifi poor English TV channels limited
Review 2：-Views from the balcony were great for sea view apt - good for catching bus 100 along the coast - Walking distance to Villefranche sur mer old town and it's beach
Review 3：The room we had was a bit dated, furniture / kitchen and bathroom had some damages, it was clean and acceptable enough for us the 3 day’s we were visiting.
Review 4：Property is nicely located between Nice and Monaco, you do need a car to travel, parking is secured and free of charge, this is very good. The staff at the reception is very helpful and nice. The higher rooms have sea view which is stoning, especially when you have breakfast on the balcony. The rooms are small and a bit dated but good for the 3 of us, we stayed for 3 nights. The rooms have a small kitchen with dishwasher so you can make a nice breakfast ore small meal. Reception is opened just for a few hrs a day, but you get your one key code to get in the building 24 hrs a day, this is very good Overall a nice location and good value for your money.
Review 5：One quick and easy suggestion - supply a toaster
Review 6：Stunning sea view - worth paying a bit extra to get a guaranteed view. Apartments are very small and could do with some refurb but ours was clean and had everything the spec promised. For the price and the location you cannot complain. As long as you know what to expect you should be satisfied. We would stay here again.
Review 7：The apartment was far too small for a family of 5 and there was no air-conditioning which made it impossible to sleep at night
Review 8：The location, the pool, the bar and the friendly staff
Review 9：No ventilation, DIRTY, No fans or AC, limited customer care, very limited Wifi, and EXTREMELY small space. The apartment was the worse accommodation I have ever experience! The apartment was so cramp with big and out-dated furnitures everywhere, we didn't even have enough space for our luggage! Awful...never again! Filed a request, letter & pictures, to booking & company but was ignored!
Review 10：Pool and view was great but everything else was less than satisfactory!
Review 11：The room doesn`t have any are condition and is necessary to have the windows wide open in warm nights. The street outside is noisy in the night and makes it hard to sleep. The appartments is small and lacks cupboards for luggage. The hotel is charging for sunbeds at the hotelpool.
Review 12：The location of the hotel is very nice. The view is nice and the beach is only a coulpe of minutes away.
Review 13：One of the dirtiest hotels I have ever been. Found hair of previous guests. Sand and dust in each corner. Disgusting. The room is so small and with bars on the windows. Claustrophobic. Wifi is practically not working. Very bad experience.
Review 14：location of hotel and swimming pool
Review 15：No air conditioner in room confirmed to have air conditioner. Room too small for family of 5 as requested on booking.com and we were crammed into tiny 20m room for 3 adults and 2 teenagers. Swimming pool closes very early (8:00 p.m.) as we were checked in at 6:00 p.m. and missed using the pool. One of the worst and most uncomfortable stay ever!
Review 16：Great location!
Review 17：Beds should be updated, they were not on the comfortable side, public toilets were closed, Train line is right in front of the hotel causing a lot of noise for holiday makers
Review 18：Fantastic location, beautiful views and pool area. Reasonably priced, probably the cheapest place to stay on the French Riviera. Excellent choice
Review 19：noisy train line at bottom of garden from 0530 to 2330 have to pay 4 euro per day for sun loungers
Review 20：good location and friendly staff, free wifi, easy to get to train station, buses and walking distance to beaches and port area
Review 21：No bad experience
Review 22：location was amazing, no need to hire a car. hotel on the route of bus no 100 that you can travel most places easily for 1.5 euros. Hotel is also very close to beach and train station. Villefranche restaurants are at walking distance. Two ladies at reception were amazingly helpful with good English.
Review 23：Lack of fire protection and fire evacuation procedures in the accommodation. The departure paperwork does not have an English translation whereas other information does (yes I know we were in France and the staff did help) On booking this accommodation I did not receive any answers to my e-mails which was disappointing.
Review 24：Very easy to find and check in was very fast. Staff spoke good English which helped as our French is not so great. Parking is fully secure and access to all entrances are key pad protected. Plenty of sun loungers. Bus stop right outside the complex and train station 20 minutes walk. Close proximity to restaurants - 10 min walk. Towels provided.
Review 25：The room was extremely tiny for 5 people and the beds for the kids were very uncomfortable. The room and bathroom were not very clean and we ended up with ants everywhere in the bathroom and kitchen. When I told the front desk about the ants they just handed me ant spray and said bring it back whenever. It was gross. There was no toilet in the lobby so whenever the kids were swimming and needed to go to the toilet, you had to go all the way back to your room for it, which was quite far. The weather ended up being bad so we had to spend some time in the room and since it was so uncomfortable, small and with ants we just left and went home.
Review 26：It was very inexpensive for the location and having the swimming pool was great. Not any views really but of the pool and garden but very lovely.
Review 27：Small rooms
Review 28：The property has a great location. Right next to bus stop Ange Gardien ( Bus 81 and 100 from Nice). Also it is 1 km from Beaulieu Sur Mer (BSM) SNCF station. So you can take a train from Nice Ville and then a bus from BSM or just walk. Great views and a awesome swimming pool. Do make arrange to for food. Supermarket is right next to BSM station and one near Villa Kréylos. Rooms are small and cramped but you will probably ignore it. They are cosy and balcony view will compensate from crampness. Friendly staff and a blazing fast wi-fi should you need it. Beach is just down the residence (a five minute walk). You can always take bus 100 to reach beaches of Petite Afrique or BSM Harbour.
Review 29：The pool looking tantalisingly pleasant but not open till may when our stay was at Easter, a popular holiday time for British people. An early close for reception so worry on arrival of how we would get in our room, despite emergency number where member of staff did not understand me.
Review 30：the location, the stunning gardens and the helpful receptionists when covered. Also the residents who live their were extremely helpful and obliging when we arrived to a closed reception and they went out of their way to help us.
Review 31：The beds were uncomfortable and the appartment was very small. There is no place for suitcases; we thought of bringing a portable baby bed, but there would have been NO place to put it (except for the balcony, where we had to place already the couch table in order to pull out one of the beds). In the 5-bed appartment, we had only 1 bedroom with a 1-blanket double bed, that we had to use for the children in order to clean up/use the table after they went to bed. The knifes in the kitchen were all blunt, better bring a sharp knife next time. For 1,5 days in our 1 week stay we had only cold water in the shower and kitchen due to a broken, central heater; the only action by the staff was to say "sorry" after we came to ask.
Review 32：The facilities in L'Ange Gardien and the flat's equipment are pretty good for an inexpensive place to stay at the Cote d'Azur. There are public washing maschines, a nice garden, enclosed free parking, short way to bus and beach. There is a dishwasher, microwave and a 4 plate stove. We did not have problems with ants. The medsea view was great.
Review 33：We felt The room was too small for the advertised six people it said it would accommodate. Not very pet friendly as there is practically no area to walk your pet within the property.
Review 34：The view of the Mediterranean was terrific. Front desk staff were very helpful. Good value for four or less people per room
Review 35：There were ants in the whole apartment and the staff could not offer another room. Since it is not a hotel (we were told by the staff it is a residence) there is e.g. no cleaning of the room. Not even toilet paper was added to the room. The whole place was really empty with a reception only open a few hours per day.
Review 36：There were cracks in the bathtub and on the bathroom floor. The coffee table had a broken leg and the top was so bumpy that you could spill a drink if you didn't set your glass down carefully. It took 3 trips to the front desk to get a new light bulb; the original was burnt out from the start. The room was supposed to be cleaned after 1 week of a 2-wek stay and it never happened.
Review 37：Location and grounds.
Review 38：Bedroom small and stuffy, if window open traffic noise, no fans or aircon, small layout but patio good size No staff on book in. caused a lot of headache one of residents finally helped we had driven from Turin and very tired after large storm and raining when we arrived WiFI not working When staff arrived next day very unhelpful. No second pillow and they refused to rectify Finally General manager moved us out to his new location near Italian border. Much appreciated
Review 39：Location and view
Review 40：Pieces of furniture in flat damaged and it needed a good proper clean broken dishes should be removed if flat is checked in advance However would still return as staff at desk very helpful
Review 41：Location excellent with convenient local transport Great local restaurants Wonderful beach for swimming
Review 42：We booked an apartment to sleep 6/7 people. This means that it's a 1 bedroomed apartment with bunkbeds in the hallway and 2 pullout beds in the tiny lounge. Not 3 beds...
Review 43：The so-called 2 bedroom apartment was a small room with two single sofa beds and a corridor with a bunk. There was literally no space for our suitcases - we moved the furniture around to make more space! It was tiny for the price! Also, there is a train line nearby so you hear the train noise - this stops at night. Restaurants and supermarket are a 20 min walk in Beaulieu or catch a bus to Villefranche...
Review 44：The view of the sea and the pool were great! The pool was lovely but a bit cold (to be expected as we were there in October). Close to bus which will take you to Monaco or to Nice.
Review 45：Did not get room we booked We arrived late and no beds made Double bed very uncomfortable and no room for luggage Floor was dirty Pillows smelt and cases unwashed No aircon - could not leave door open without being bitten! Unit is very very small. We booked a 2 room which sleeps 4-5 - struggles to take 4 No reception staff working on Wednesday - we had booked for 3 nights, tried to cancel after 1 night booking.com received no communication from the hotel until after our second night - then too late to make other plans No food outlets within walking distance
Review 46：Pool Lovely beach nearby but not really walking distance Access to Monaco
Review 47：Cutlery , crockery !.. Less than adequate . Television any smaller we would need a magnifying glass .My accommodation ( 6/ 7 pers.) with a fridge barely enough for 2.
Review 48：The location, tranquility,
Review 49：Coming home and the fact that I'm not there right now - dreadful :)
Review 50：Villefranche, Beaulieu, you can get up and just walk to the beach of either. Stunning location in one of the best parts of the world. Helpful friendly staff, great pool. Easy to park. Not 5 star but you get great value, good accomodation - we had a wonderful family holiday there - wouldn't hesitate to recommend it
Review 51：Next to train line but it didn't bother me much, just background noise now and then.
Review 52：The pool was great, close to two beaches and situated nicely between Villefranche and Beaulieu.
Review 53：The location was close both to Nice City Centre and Monaco both excellent spots for visitors, the facilities were simple yet clean and organised, the staff at reception were all extremely friendly and helpful in any regard without flaw, definitely worth another trip.
Review 54：Lack of access to WiFi! We had to pay for the sunbeds around the pool! There is one toilet roll for the week.
Review 55：Beautiful view from the apartment. Very nice pool. Sufficient equipment kitchenware. Good location between two pebbly beaches. In walking distance to the shops.
Review 56：The apartment was tiny but with careful management became very enjoyable. Because of the heat the bedroom window was open which meant the traffic was noisy.
Review 57：Primarily the location was excellent, mid way between the villages and beaches of Beaulieu and Ville Franche. Cap Ferrat also on the doorstep was lovely for walks in the evening. The 100 bus service outside the apartments meant it was easy to explore all along the south coast. The swimming pool and adjacent terraces were also lovely to use.
Review 58：Towels and linnen were missing, had to ask for it. Also quiltz (which we did not need though)
Review 59：Nice pool area. Very friendly staff. Good location, good parking.

Review 81：The view, the swimming pool and the location.
Review 82：* Seems to be a family orientated hotel so me and my partner were slightly disappointed to find our bedroom to have single bunkbeds. We were happy to sleep on the double sized sofa bed, however if we were a little older and less agile this might have meant we didn't have a great nights sleep. This might have been just our room but its definitely one to bare in mind. * In order to have such good connections to the coasts the train travels past the hotel. Sounds like a major no in theory but ask anyone who lives by a motorway/main road and after a few whiz past you completely forget. * As others have commented, it is a completely self catering hotel, so no maid service. I had no problem with this as we were happy to have same towel/bedding etc, however like others have mentioned only supplied with one toilet roll for the week. I am sure if you contacted reception they would have supplied more but we were clearly to British to ask and just bought our own supply. Not the end of the world, but just one to bare in mind when you're sat on the loo and open the cupboard to see they don't supply you with any back-ups. * Reception is unmanned weds and also 12-4 each day. We arrived at 12.30 and were happy to wait to check in, but there was literally no member of staff to be seen, so couldn't request to leave our luggage. We ended up sitting with it on the terrace as we only had one case between us. Might be hard if you are travelling as a family and have young kids who won't want to sit still (maybe pack swimming things in your hand luggage and change in the loo's?).
Review 83：* The hotel was very clean throughout. Everything was sparkling and you really can't fault it. * The bus stop is literally ten steps from the front of the hotel. Here you have cheap (1.50 euros) means to travel into Nice, Monaco or even further afield if you want to. If you aren't looking to hire a car then it really is such a convenient option. Buses are very reliable and speedy. Also very close to the train station situated by the beach itself (15 min max walk). No need to book an airport transfer or fork out for a pricey taxi, take the no 98 bus from the terminal (6 euro p/p) get off at the Nice Le Port stop, cross the road and hop on the 100 bus (1.50 euro p/p) and get off at the Ange Gardien stop. * The hotel swimming pool terrace is breath-taking. It's situated very well so it is a sun trap and gets the sun all day long. The pool itself is cold (so everyone was saying!) but very clean like the rest of the hotel. Another + to this hotel as it is nice to take a breather between sightseeing and get some sun. * Only a 10 min walk to the Villefrance-sur-mer beach/restaurants/convenience stores. My partner and I are relatively fit and didn't find the walk a problem, but as you will know if you have visited here before it is sort of mountainous therefore there are steps down to the sea front. The hotel however, seemed to be in the perfect spot to reach the beach and we'd have had to walk past it to get to the other hotels.
Review 84：Public toilet Could be cleaner and more close to the pool
Review 85：Loved the pool and snack bar. Of course the beautiful setting in front one of the most beautiful places in the riviera also.
Review 86：Absolutly filthy. Clenliness is the minimum when staying in any accomodation. Bunk Beds (Not specified when make the reservation), as a couple this is not exceptable.
Review 87：Nothing
Review 88：Apartment to sleep up to 5 was confortable for 2 people, but would have been a bit cramped with 4 adults.
Review 89：Lovely pool area with comfortable sunbeds. Would have been nicer if pool had been heated. Apartment was clean with large balcony and lovely view. Kitchen area was well appointed even though we didn't cook.
Review 90：The lack of comfort of the accommodation, the outdated building and bathroom. The misleading of the Booking.com website resulting in an extra charge for the accommodation and a very stressful first evening. The security of the sliding doors leading onto the balcony. The noise level of the residence and the lack of staff on site for emergencies. A detailed letter of complaint to follow this review.
Review 91：The facilities of the kitchenette and the free parking.
Review 92：pillows and matress bit uncomfortable , pool closed but was not hot weather, a welcome pack with a few bits like a dishwasher tablet and coffee filters would be good for short stays.
Review 93：location, cleanliness, views, parking free, quiet, well equipped, easy access to beach and restaurants within walking distance, easy access to airport and monaco, nice, riviera by car, stunning setting
Review 94：I thought the size of the place very small and was disappointed it was advertised as having two bedrooms when there was only one plus divan beds in the living area. There were chipped plates in the cupboards and i think that is a very slack standard, no after what the nightly rate.
Review 95：Loved the view, overlooking the swimming pool and out to the bay. We could see the lights twinkling in villefranche at night. The kitchen was compact and functional. The bus stop was outside which made transport around the area very easy. We could easily walk to Beaulieu, which we did one evening and we felt safe.
Review 96：Kitchen lacked a few amenities but this was not a problem. We just asked reception when we needed something.
Review 97：The location is fantastic. Close to beaches, lovely villages and good walks. Swimming pool. Reception were helpful in setting up wifi.
Review 98：The bedroom in the 1bed apt was very small.
Review 99：Freindly staff at reception, Pool and Cafe/Bar area was excellent the staff were really friendly and very helpful.
Review 100：We would of liked reception to be open for longer hours/as it is in the hotels/ and to have engineer available every day-we had a problem wiyh the front door lock and had to wait until friday for the engineer to com and fix it.
Review 101：Very good location-near the bus stop,sea and shoping.
Review 102：No on-site supermarket (though bread can be ordered the night before for each day) . £28 taxi fare from train station to Residence. (Would be 1E50 on bus from Nice...google Lignes d'Azur)
Review 103：Great views over the bay and from the very pleasant pool. Definitely worth going for a high floor apt with a balcony. Free sun loungers set back from pool. Nice calm feel at end of June. Interior fine - 4/5 person apt was like a large mobile home in terms of space and layout (1 double bedroom and living-area sofas doubling as single beds - see photos) - but with dishwasher! For groceries you can walk/bus (1E50) to Beaulieu (20 mins on foot along footpath beside quite busy road to v good Super U), or Villefranche (5 more pleasant minutes walk along beach into Old Town for tiny Casino supermarket (closes lunch time) . Good walking route (down steps) from gate at bottom of Residence garden to beach and town. (If fit and prepared to walk adventurously on arrival, the reverse of this walk would be an economical route from the station - you'd need to walk on up a bit up to main road for entrance though, prior to check-in as garden gate is code protected). Free car parking though if not using public transport.
Review 104：We had a one bedroom apartment for 5 people (4 of us) and it was tiny -the bedroom was so small the double bed touched both walls and we had toclimb in from the bottom - we couldn't close the door of the bedroomas it got stuck on the bed. No room to store 4 pieces of hand-luggage.Everything is extra - no towels provided - basic bathroom towels had tobe hired; no kitchen cloths or towels (can be hired); one roll of toiletpaper for the week! Charge a little more and provide these items as partof the price. This is a nice complex in a lovely location but the onebedroom apartment we had was not big enough - the bedroom was just abroom cupboard.
Review 105：Staff were very friendly and the pool area was lovely with nice sunloungers and umbrellas. We paid for a sea-view apartment (top floor -it's worth specifying) and the view was magnificent across the bay -day and night. The common areas were clean if a little dated. Very quiet- no bar or restaurant which we liked.
Review 106：The staff is horrible. If you choose to vacation with this chain call them directly. We had read reviews on here about hidden fees so I called the company. They assured me linens, towels and cleaning were included. Towels were not and part of the cleaning was. They told me I should have called them directly and not the company. Also, problems with smoke. Smoke was vented into our room through air vents and through drafty doors.
Review 107：The location was great! Parking was free and was safe.
Review 108：The rooms were in poor condition, not well maintained,heating was notworking, and bathroom in very bad state. This hotel is not fit to belongto P&V chain.
Review 109：On arrival there was no receptionist on duty and we needed to make two phone calls, using our own phone before we were finally able to get a key to our room. However, only half our reservation had been processed, the suggested alternative was my friend sleep in a recently vacated, but not cleaned unit. The on-site shop was closed for renovations, but no alternative arrangements had been made. Would not stay again, nor recommend it.
Review 110：Great view from the balcony, easy access to the water, Nice and Monaco.
Review 111：It was cold outside and the heat didn't work in our room, so we allslept very poorly due to being so cold. By the time we realized the heatproblem, the reception was closed. When we arrived, they initially gaveus the key to an occupied room. Once we got in the right room, wecouldn't find the third child bed (our two bedroom meant a bedroom,bath, and main room with table, kitchenette, two sleeping couches plus atrundle under one). On my third trip to the reception desk, they told mewhere to find the trundle and when I asked gave me sheets for it. Once Imade up all the beds (you have to do that yourself), I realized therewas one single and one double blanket for a double and 3 single beds, soI made one more trip up, after closing time, to get more blankets so 2kids didn't freeze. They also charge 6 Euro each to rent bath towelsinstead of providing them. They also had to change our originalreservation when the room we booked through booking.com was notavailable.
