This is a great Hotel!! I went there with my wife on our honeymoon. We loved it. Hotel is very clean and conviniently located. The stuff is amazing. Very helpfull. Private beach is big plus! I would recomend this hotel to anyone.

We booked at lunchtime on the Friday through lastminute.com for the Friday and Saturday evening. We got a truly great deal on the room and when we arrived we were upgraded to a deluxe room without being told. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was great and came complete with good toiletries and fluffy bathrobes. Service was great too. We had the most comfortable night's sleep in a hotel for a long time... and all this in Cannes which is generally overpriced.
Very much recommended.

I stayed at the Gray d'Albion for 3 nights in December.
I was fortunate to stay in the new renovated rooms which are nice and modern, not very big but well equippred with nice amenities.Nice flat screen TV, nice bathroom products such as Hermes perfume and great soaps and nice fluffy bathroom.

Service I felt was cold..check in was smoothe, they took me up to the room but did not find them over friendly.
First night at 10:00 pm called for room service and they said they could not give me anything to eat..not what one expects from this caliber hotel..
Also was never greated by the hotel staff when going in and out of the hotel...there was never anyone at the front desk.

Only meal I had was breakfast in the room..nice continental breakfast great croissants.

All and all a good hotel if you get new rooms but staff could be better.

A very good well priced hotel 1 block from the main beach (La Croisette) in Cannes. I stayed at this hotel from Sept 7-10, 2007 on the 9th floor. After checking prices at several other premium properties that I normally stay at (Martinez, Intercontinetal, Carlton, etc) I found prices to be extremely high (450 Euros/night at Martinez for example). So after seeing much more reasonable prices at Gray D'Albion (140 Euros/night including breakfast), and looking at their web site I decided to give it a try. The hotel is 1 block from the beach and has 9 floors in one building and private condos in a 2nd building (which is right beside the beach). The hotel also has their own private beach on La Croisette which is a short walk from the hotel where they have a restaurant, comfortable lawn chairs and waiter service to your chair - so you can order food, drinks, etc right at your reclining beach chair. The private beach, like the hotel, is terrific. To be candid the other hotels (Martinez, Intercontinental, Carlton) are superior properties. But when you compare the price to the quality difference between these hotels and the Gray D'Albion there's a somewhat minor difference in quality, but a HUGE difference in price. Even when traveling on business and someone else was paying my bill I decided to stay at Gray D'Albion and was happy I did. The front desk staff is great, the room was good sized with modern furniture and another bonus is the bus to the NICE airport is immediately in front of the hotel. 10 steps out of the front door of the hotel and I was on an express bus to the airport.

I recommend this hotel for familes, people seeking a good quality to price and for those that want to be near shopping, the main beach and the business district.
