We booked a triple room for 3 nights for a family of four (two small children). The front desk attendant refused to allow us to check in because it was a triple room and there were four of us. The front desk person was telling us (almost forcing us to book a second room claiming it was not legal to let four of us in to the room). We had to call Expedia to help us resolve the situation with the hotel. Expedia was unable to resolve after speaking with the attendant directly. We asked for a cancellation and refund so we can go to another hotel. The front desk attendant had to call her manager who was telling her we need to book a second room. After over an hour of negotiation with the front desk person and her management over the phone they finally allowed us to check in. We have never experienced anything like this at any other hotel and we travel frequently. Hotel location is great on the main shopping street. It is a 5 minutes walk from the nearest beach and 10 minutes from the old town and numerous restaurants. Parking is available in the nearby parking garages. Hotel doesn't have their own parking. Parking garage Lemy is closest and cheaper than Gray Albion which is where the hotel staff sent us. Location is excellent. Hotel was clean. Beds were ok. Bathroom needs updating.

The location is great. Although the staff was absolutely terrible, worst atttudes I’ve ever experienced in the hospitality business. On top on that, arriving to our room we found a cockroach crawling around on the floor. We brought it to the front. They said we had to wait for the manager in the morning. Once we spoke with the manager they said we had to contact Expedia.

Location fabulous, Hotel decor dated
This hotel gets five out of five for location...right in the heart of Rue'Antibes but it is very dated inside. We had a triple room on the first floor which opened directly into the breakfast room!! Very odd. our window did not shut properly therefore air conditioning was not effective and heat was unbearable at night. The roof top terrace was very basic Nothing like the photos the hotel have on their web site. We had breakfast which was extremely basic and were not informed that it would cost an extra thirteen Euros Fifty per person. Not worth it at all. We discovered this bu accident on the second day so ate out after tat. Much cheaper and more fulfilling.

Great location and friendly staff
This is a well located hotel in central Cannes. It's not flash and could do with an update here and there but its perfect (and affordable), for a business trip or short stay. The staff are very friendly and mostly speak English (for us poor French speakers). Go for a room on higher floor to avoid noise from the street.

Didn't use the bar or continental brekkie, Cannes has too much to offer! Everything else was just perfect,Room 307 at the back, nice and quiet. Room facilities were good and the terrace on the roof a lovely view with a cooling breeze. Great position on the Rue de Antibes, handy for bars and the Croisette

Great little hotel
This hotel was a pleasant surprise. Location was great and reception staff were very helpful and friendly. We arrived early and didnt expect our rooms to be ready (we booked two) so was a good surprise to fine one of them was so we could use that until we could have access to the other one. Rooms were very clean and surviced everyday. Also had fresh towels and hairdryers available (added bonus when travelling light!) Air con was also great as it was over 30 degs when we visited. The fridge in the rooms were also a bonus to keep drinks cool throughout the day. I would defintely go back!

So pleased with this hotel
We were so pleased with this hotel, middle of shopping area (good to window shop!) staff were friendly, the buffet breakfast very good (although only had it once as we found cheap cafe near the harbour for the rest of our stay!). It was an easy stroll to the promedade and there were many bars and restaurants just minutes away. We loved the roof terrace where we sun-bathed a couple of days, it would have been even better had there been a drinks bar up there (there was a vending machine but it didn't always work). We'd have no problem staying there again.

very expensive breakfast
The location is very central. My room wasn't large but it was big enough. I arrived late at night and the room was suffocatingly hot - I didn't notice the air conditioning system until the next morning. However, there were doors I was able to open onto a balcony. My only complaint was the cost of the breakfast and I don't remember the price being publicised anywhere. It was Euro13 which I consider excessive.

La camera piccolina ma senza moquette, il letto e i cuscini li abbiamo trovati molto comodi. Ottima la posizione centrale. Ci siamo mossi senza dover usare la macchina. Non posso dire nulla sulla colazione perché abbiamo preferito andare in giro e provare posti nuovi. Lo consiglio come hotel merita le sue tre stelle.

Fed placering men ucharmerende hotel
Den bedste placering, man kunne ønske! Midt på en shoppinggade, to gader væk fra vandet, 5 minutter væk fra togstation. Helt fænomenalt placeret. Personalet talte rigtig fint engelsk! Rent hotel men slidt og gammelt, værelserne lidt ucharmerende og ikke velholdte. Dejligt med aircon på værelset. Ingen minibar, bare et tomt køleskab. Forvent ikke meget af morgenmaden - Det var kun brød, ost, skinke, yoghurt og en croissant. Savnede æg, bacon, pandekage eller andet lækkert. Tagterrassen havde den smukkeste udsigt men den lignede ikke billederne, var til gengæld helt "forladt", puderne var væk, ingen parasoller, ingen planter, var helt vildt trist. De tilbyder parkering, som var helt vildt dyrt men dejligt at muligheden var der. Det var dog meget kaotisk at checke ind, når man kommer med bil, da det som sagt er midt på en shoppinggade med alt for mange mennesker og biler. Vi tager nok ikke dette hotel igen men finder et andet i samme område, da placeringen var det eneste rigtig gode ved hotellet.

Hotel centrale ed essenziale. Abbiamo preso 2 camere non molto grandi ma confortevoli e pulite, così come il bagno (uno con vasca da bagno e uno con cabina doccia). Personale disponibile e cortese. Rapporto qualità prezzo molto buono. Una splendida vista dal terrazzo dell'ultimo piano. Abbiamo rinunciato al parcheggio del hotel perché gratuito sulla strada (Pasqua).
