Stayed here with family and friends for one week during August. Booked directly with the hotel, who have good English speaking staff and are very helpful, so no problems. Taxi organised for 6 of us from Nice airport (66 Euros one way), took about 30 mins.
We stayed in 2 family rooms- 330 and 326, which were generally OK but a bit tired. Bathrooms were poor both in terms of size, water pressure and general decor and appointments. Rooms are typically French and fairly basic but clean. The rooms were on the second (top) floor and there is no lift, but this was not a problem for us. Best rooms are on first floor with large balconies facing the pool, and are very sunny.
While the rooms were adequate but needed some investment, the outside more than made up for any shortcomings. The terrace and pool are excellent, with plenty of sunbeds. Yes towels are provided and yes you do have to keep your towel and dry it every day but this was not a problem as there is a washing line behind the hotel, and the weather was very good. There is a table tennis table and petanque area, and the kids were more than happy as they did not want to leave the poolside. Only drawback for some with families may be the rules around the pool which do not allow jumping in or too much noise, but this is manageable and keeps the area relaxing.
Breakfast at 10 Euros was good value eaten on the terrace or in the room. Also guests are allowed to buy their own food and wine (from the excellent Spar nearby)and eat lunch on the terrace, as hotel is B&B only. Hotel provided a corksrew- no problem, and there is a fridge in the room to store food and wine. This was a great plus.
In terms of location the hotel was a 10 minute walk to the beach, and a very easy to walk to the station. Antibes was a 20 minute walk.
The Hotel Alexander next door was great for food with a changing fixed 24 Euros 3 course menu each night. You eat outside and the atmosphere is great - we ate there 3 out of 7 nights.
The lady owner is very direct, and always around, but I think that is a good thing- nothing was any trouble and she was very courteous and helpful at all times.
I would highly recommend this hotel, as overall it provides a great package and good value for money at 145 Euros for a family room in the high season.
