Friendly, helpful and competent staff. We really liked the location (leafy affluent suburbs). Free on site or road parking. Our room was small but comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful (15€ pp). Lovely restaurant next door to the hotel. Walking distance to the beach. Hotel restaurant served very overpriced Aperol spritzers (14€ each) 😳

“Nice little private hotel in a lovely area”

Beautifully clean. Rooms small but fine. Didn't use the pool but looked very inviting. Staff very aimiable In a lovely area and on a bus route. Quite a few steps. Nice restaurant next door Le jardin. Good for lunch.

“Some hick-ups”

The hotel is quite far away from Antibes, and it is a walk (nice, but a proper walk) to the next beach. We had booked a room for a family (2 grown-ups with child), but upon check-in it turned out, that they had mistead/forgotten/ignored the request, and we had a double bedroom (very small) with a d… more

The hotel is quite far away from Antibes, and it is a walk (nice, but a proper walk) to the next beach. We had booked a room for a family (2 grown-ups with child), but upon check-in it turned out, that they had mistead/forgotten/ignored the request, and we had a double bedroom (very small) with a double bed (a very small one), and ni option to change room. We also disn’t receive an apology, or help in any way, e.g. With a matress for our daughter. The room itself was tiny, but nice enough, with a nice balcony. Unfortunately it was turned towards their restaurant, and it was crazy loud until they closed - which was quite late. Swimming pool was nuce, so was the breakfast area. If you ask for a room away from the hotel, and double check if they really booked enough beds for you, it’ll probably be nice.

“Clean but very tired decor”

Our family of five sampled five different rooms in a six-night stay (we booked last minute so had to fit with what was available). This gave us a good overview of the rooms on offer here. They were last decorated in the 1980s or 90s, from the look of them: very dated and not charming in the slighte… more

Our family of five sampled five different rooms in a six-night stay (we booked last minute so had to fit with what was available). This gave us a good overview of the rooms on offer here. They were last decorated in the 1980s or 90s, from the look of them: very dated and not charming in the slightest, in my opinion. Fortunately the chambermaids do a very good job with what they have to work with, and the rooms are clean. Beds are surprisingly comfortable and also clean. Some odd smells though: my first room and its little backyard smelt (and were) damp: number 2 reeked of cigarettes and alcohol and number 3 seemed to have been perfumed with aftershave. All very off putting. Rooms are all very different in shape and size, no doubt because the building itself is old and rambling. Lots of stairs to drag your suitcase up and down Very difficult to get swimsuits dry, let alone beach towels. I would not come back because I found the place depressing.
