Ανακαλύψτε τη διαμονή σας σε Antibes

While everything was quite nice, somehow I don’t feel like raving about it. Maybe because compared with the experience, the price wasn’t good value. Lack of amenities. Lack of sense of hospitality. Also my room, although upgrade to a “junior suite?”, was north facing which was quite a bummer. I want the sun!

This is a great small hotel across the street from the beach. The ground floor has slightly larger rooms, while the ones upstairs all have balconies with a view of the beach. The rooms are comfortable with a refrigerator and safe. An easy walk to everywhere. Its clean, reasonably priced and convenient to town and many restaurants. If you are here to spend time at the beach, the public beach is across the street and a 3 minute walk from your room. I will be back here.

We spent fourteen nights here in a spacious ground floor apartment but felt the whole facility needed to be modernised and upgraded. Our room had excellent air conditioning but no working safe and a sliding entrance window that on most occasions refused to lock properly. We had to raise and lower industrial style metal shutters to make the place secure. It took more than three days before anyone came to look at the problem and even then the difficulty remained. The reception area is gloomy, old fashioned and open only for very restricted hours. Most of the time it felt pretty abandoned. We did like the tropical tree-planting which created a shady central garden area and the pool was inviting enough, albeit without any on-site catering apart from some vending machines. The rooms would benefit from having washing machines - we didn't much like the small washing room where one had to pay extra to wash and dry clothes. All in all, we felt that the residence was run by a penny-pinching management that was desperately trying to cut costs while trying to create the impression of offering a high quality service that simply wasn't provided.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Le Collier. It's close proximity to the Antibes train station is very practical when we travelled a lot along the riveria, and the Antibes city center was just 10-15 minutes walk away as well. The staff were very friendly and even remembered us when we came back to pickup the room keys. The hotel and room was very clean, beds were comfortable and they even supplied two type of pillows so you could choose the one that works best for you. What we would like to be improved is the breakfast and bathroom amenities. The breakfast consists of some bread/baguettes, ham, cheese, jams, some pastries and yoghurts. It's quite simple and good enough to start a day, but we really missed anything green, such as paprika, cucumber or similar. They also lack warm options, if that's of importance, though it was fine for us. The bathroom was overall clean, good standard, but for some weird reason missing handsoap - we're not sure if that was something they forgot, but it ended up with us purchasing our own. We have seen previous reviews of people complaining about street noise. Yes the street is noisy, but if you close the balcony door and turn on the AC, you won't hear the street except of a police siren sometimes. We didn't hang out on the balcony, but if you do you might be bothered by it.
