Convenient location. Nice room. Ok bathroom. Good breakfast. Nice touch with coffee and cookies throughout the day. Should add decaffeinated coffee to their menu. Safe in the room didn't work. Helpful staff.

Your hotel had a unique vibe and we loved all the extras that were provided. The area and being to walk to the Promenade and feel safe was a plus. Also the train station was walking distance which was a Big Plus!!
Enjoyed our stay and loved the Decor!

Overall happy
Hotel is clean although no bedside table and worst of all NO INTERNET CONNECTION. STAFF very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is ok as long as you dont stay for more than 3 days as it is repetitive . Cappuccino was great.

Lovely room, terrible wifi
Lovely room but terrible wi-fi, the only English channel on the TV was Sky News and even that couldn't cope with the weak wifi - excellent breakfast, excellent staff, 24 hour service

Hotel/room was clean. Friendly staff. Separate bathroom in room from shower/sink was way too small. Knees touched the door while using the toilet. Very uncomfortable.

Lovely stay
Lovely stay, staff were really friendly, coffee, squash,water and biscuits available at all times. Plenty of choice at breakfast. Tiny gripe is no real milk at coffee station in your room or through the day as its milk powder but this is only a tiny thing. Hotel is 5 mins from train st so easy access to Cannes/monaco etc. 20 min walk to old town and the sea front!
