We’ve stayed at this hotel 4-5 times over the last few years. It has an amazing location right by the beach. The staff are very pleasant and professional and it’s kept very clean. Two things that could be improved: 1. The hotel should be helpful in beach chair reservations since they own the beach 2. Rooms could use renovations; our bathroom vanity door was falling off and there were several other pieces of furniture with lots of wear and tear. For 4 stars these issues should be addressed.

You see à Nice sea view on the website where as regular and classic rooms will face a wall where technical machines and sound of an alarm to fly away pigeons and birds will keep on all night and all day putting any person on edge. We wanted to change room well note the sea view is has triple the room surcharge. We just wanted a room without a sound of an alarm. We left. Breakfast was nice reception staff were nice but powerless.

Dear Khaled,Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. I am sad to read you did not enjoyed the view from your room. It is true that you can see on the main page of the website the view of our different rooms category. However, you can clearly see the view you will receive when you start to proceed with your booking. I am really sorry you were disturbed by a noise coming from a neighboring building. Our team offered you the possibility to change room but you did not wanted to move to the same room category. Once again I am sorry that your stay was not up to your satisfaction, and I really hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you back @ the Royal Antibes.Best regards,Valentin Foucault - Front Office Manager

HORRIFIC. Please do yourself a favour and read the reviews for this property. It is a run-down, disgusting apartment hotel. It is not luxury by any means. It’s like staying in a student apartment. Extremely noisy also to the point where we got maybe 2 hours of sleep. They have hideaway beds with a wire frame. The lobby turns off the lights in some areas at night and it’s probably a 2-3 star property at most. This is the most misrepresented place I have ever stayed at and if you look at many of their photos they are black and white to hide how awful it is. DON’T STAY HERE if you are looking for a normal hotel stay.

I had been dealing directly with hotel because of change in plans. Before Expedia change deadline I emailed them to change from 1 room for 3 to 2 rooms. They didn't answer until deadline had passed and refused the change. I ended up paying over 2x as much for my now single room as my friends paid for their double, which was reserved that day. My room had damage from an a/c leak and the white privacy curtains did not close all the way. I feel they ripped me off because they were not full on a Sunday night.

Nothing close to 4 stars. The most run-down hotel on our trip. The room was in terrible condition. The bathroom door wouldn’t close, the hotel room door wouldn’t close, the bathtub drain was broken, there was toilet paper wrapped around the smoke detector. The staff were rude and not helpful at all. I’ve stayed at 2 star and 3 star hotels that far surpassed this hotel. There are much better hotels for your money than this. They really should be embarrassed for the quality of their rooms & staff.

Generally we are very satisfied of the hotel. Only a few points which you would expect from such a high class hotel were to be paid. For example, privat beach, perfect, but very expensive to book a chair on the private beach, this should be free for hotel guests. Same for the parking, to be paid (20€/day!), should also be free of charge for hotel guests. But this couldn't prevent of having a very nice stay !!!

Good afternoon dear Luc, We really thank you for your feedback. You just have to know that you are waiting offers that you could find only in a Resort. On the French Riviera, you won't find any hotel where the sunbed & the car park are for free (expect specific offers) This is just a tip. 20€ for a sunbed and also the same fee for car park is certainly the less expensive on the Côte d'Azur. However, we are very delighted that you liked your stay as it should be and we will be very happy to welcome you back. Warmest regards,

Nice apartment hotel close to the Beach. The Apartment was big and comfortable. Housekeeping did a great job every day. Although I would not recommend visiting their beach club, the service was horrendous both times I were there, and paying 30€ per beach bed just to be ignored/not get any service is a waste of money and time
