“Beware - This is not a hotel!”

We booked this trip to Antibes at the last minute and due to a large convention in Cannes, all the good places were already taken. The Residéal is not a hotel. It is a place that rents out studios and apartments. We had to "rent" funky sheets and towels. You have to buy expensive minutes in order to use the wi-fi. By the time you pay for parking, pay for linens and pay for internet, you could get a lot nicer room with better service. The women working the front desk were not helpful at all – when we checked in, they did not bother to ask if we needed linens and told us we would have to go to the tourist info center about a mile away to get a local map and any info. Who would even think that you have to ask and pay for linens?! Even worse, you have to clean the room yourself at the end of your stay or they charge you an additiional amount which is more than one nights room rate! In that there are no cleaning supplies other than a broom in the room, just how clean do you think someone can or would leave it? Gross! On the upside the building is conveniently located a short distance from the train station and also the bus stop where the bus from the Nice airport drops you off. With so many charming options in Antibes, I would not recommend the Resideal unless you are looking to rent an apartment for a long period.
