Good hotel in a quiet spot
Quiet and secluded spot in the heart of the busy Riviera.
The building is a little dated but the location and service make up for this.
Parking is easy, but a car is necessary.

Free parking and a warm welcome from staff at check in. Breakfast options was also very nice. However the hotel itself is a little outdated once you start heading up to your room. But if you are looking somewhere near Cannes (as Cannes hotels are expensive!) and you are not fussed too much about the room, this is a good option.

Good but needs some renovation
The staff is friendly, the restaurant is rather good and breakfast is excellent with a good choice of cakes and pastries and cookies.
The hotel needs a bit of renovation (the walls, the light switches, the bed). The rooms are large enough but feel more like an Ibis hotel than a Novotel.
Internet connection is good and hassle-free.

Nice hotel out of the way
The hotel is in an out of the way location. The pool was very clean. Outside terrace very nice. Children’s playground with tennis courts and table tennis . Reception area very child friendly with pool and football table. Books and games table. Our room was clean but decor very dated and smelt of smoke .

The room was not clean (hair on the floor and wall) when I checked in. Food was below standard I would say, compared to my past experience staying in the hotel.

A first real experience in a beautiful setting
Like most places we've stayed in the Novotel chain, this one is really first rate. It's immaculately clean, well appointed, and staffed by people who are uniformly pleasant easy to deal with. The buffet breakfasts are varied and of high quality. The restaurant has both outdoor and indoor seating and offers a nice array of options. The outdoor portion is well shaded and on a terrace that looks out at the swimming pool and at a vast array of lovely greenery. The bar is well stocked and staffed from around 10 a.m. until 11 in the evening. We have stayed here three times before and will certainly do so again the next time our travels bring us anywhere near Valbonne.

Average and good hotel - with basic features
This hotel is generally acceptable and for £85 is not too bad. The hotel room is pretty basic (no atmosphere) but has a kettle and tea/coffee and also bottle of water complimentary. Novotel's use of brown carpet with some squares or patches makes it look not very clean. Although it has air circulation but no a/c. I tried to use a/c but had no luck. Staff - good and courteous - restaurant good and decent food. Nothing is excellent but good - hence the average mark.

2 star hotel (at best)
Horrible, horrible, horrible. I used to come here about ten years ago, and loved it. Now EVERYTHING is awful! Ceiling leaking, restaurant is a joke, air conditioning does not work, and the hotel itself needs to be totally remodeled/rebuilt. It looks like 2 star hotel, and Ibis down the road (same Accord chain) is MUCH BETTER, for 1/3 of the price. Just a really awful hotel...

Room as expected, as I stayed here before already. Only downside (didn't see the option while booking) that the room was facing the streets. As this hotel is located on a hill, the car lights during night always shined into my room.
Also, the roombadges are very (and when I mean very, I mean very very) sensitive. Had to go back every day to have the badge reconfigured. I never have this in other hotels.
