I stayed at this hotel in early June of 2006, and found the room and service there to be some of the worst I have experienced in any of my trips to Europe. I was promised a room with three beds, but when we got inside there was one bed, a couch, and a roll away bed. That in itself wouldn't have been a big deal, except for the fact that the couch and roll away had no linens on them other than the dirty towels that were lying all around the room. When I went downstairs to explain the situation to the reception, they handed me a bag of sheets and told me to go make the beds myself.

The next day we came in the room to find that the towels hadn't been changed. I went back to the reception to get new ones, but the lady at the desk sneered at me and said, "we don't DO clean towels," whatever that's supposed to mean.

If you're planning on staying here you should also know that the reception closes at night. I had a problem with a suitcase lock one evening and tried to find someone that could help me break it, because there was no way to get it off. There was absolutely no one left in the hotel (this was about 10:00 at night), except for the bartender, and the only thing he could offer me was a butter knife. It would be nice to at least have a security guard around, because someone tried to break into the room beneath me in the middle of the night.

If you want bad service, dirty towels, the chance of having your room broken into, and a place located 45 minutes from Nice, this is the place for you. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

This is not a hotel but an aparthotel.

Complex itself looked OK - mid winter so couldn't really comment but pool/facilities looked OK for summer.

I booked this complex as wanted an apartment rather than a hotel - BIG mistake.

Lounge area was OK but bedroom was awful - all that was in the room was a bed - no room for anything else - not even a window - resembled a prison cell.

I realised my mistake after seeing bedroom and quickly checked out and into a nearby hotel.


Think before you book and check website carefully.

Stayed at the Open Hotel from 2/13 to 2/18 2005. We were there for a big tradeshow in Cannes, everything else was booked. This is really less of a hotel and more of tourist apartment. The room we stayed had a seperate bedroom, kitchen, and living room. Definitely not luxurious, but spacious. When you check in, they give you your bedding and towels. You have to make your own bed, no housekeeping...
The location is ok, but not on the beach. It has a small pool, but definitely no swimming in Feb, too cold. Their are also not many restaurants close, there is a Mcdonalds though...I did refuse to eat at a Mcdonalds in France, but then found it was the only restaurant open, so I ate there and it was a little different than US Mcodonalds.
This is a good bargain location, as long as you know what you are getting into..
