Pros: Great location, friendly staff, cute common area,…read morelarge kitchen, lots of areas that you can chill, close to a Momoprix. Cons: I can only speak for the 2nd floor private rooms, which are located in another building, 2 doors down from the main dorms. If you are a light sleeper and staying there from Wednesday - Sunday.....beware. The Hostile wall is shared with a Live Music club and their hours are 11P-5A. It was very loud.

We stayed here and absolutely loved it!! Quick summary below:…read more Hostel - Super organised/clean with everything you could need. I loved the security system and modern open plan layout. They spoke both English and French. Room - included the best ensuite bathroom I have seen in a hostel. Room was clean with enough plugs to charge items. Breakfast - such good value for money and thank you for including dairy-free milk. Location - so central (next to Place Messena) and within minutes to the beach. You have everything so close to you. Tip: Book directly through their website to save money.

This was the best hostel imaginable…read more The location is right by the beach but not right on it so it offers a bit of calm from all the touristyness. The rooms and amenities were clean and abundant. Very impressed that it is such an accommodating hostel. The staff is off the hook... super friendly, super helpful, and really just the best. I would absolutely stay here again, and recommend it to anyone coming to the area. In fact I recommend it more than any hotel or airbnb!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Always asking how we…read morewere doing, cracking jokes, giving us tips to help with our adventure planning, etc. Location: It's located about 3 blocks back from the beach, which was great. And it's a short walk from the promenades and main nightlife areas, but just outside of it all. So it's generally quiet at night. Of course this also depends on who is staying at the hostel at the time, but that's a risk you always take at hostels. When we stayed it was quiet a couple nights, and then loud one night. But staff was good about kicking out the drunkies towards midnight. Usually we were out, but the one night we were staying it, it got a bit noisy. Everyone was always lively and hanging in the common areas. Drinking and talking story at night. Accommodations: the rooms were very nice. We had a 3 bed room and it had it's own bathroom which is always a nice luxury in a hostel. Towels were also included. Only problem with the bathroom was the shower was TINY. So small, I had to contort my body into all sorts of positions just trying to bend over to get my shampoo bottle. Nice to have our own shower, but could've been larger. Rooms were well decorated and painted and looked very nice. There was a TV and some storage cupboards with loops for a padlock if you brought your own. I'm sure they would rent them too if you needed one. Breakfast was included if you booked through hostelworld: cereal, pasteries, muffins, toast, butter, jam, coffee, milk, etc. Pretty standard affair for an included breakfast. It was roughly 2 euro if you didn't. They also had beach items anyone could use, including beach towels and pads for laying on the rocky Nice beaches. Towels are cleaned, you take from the clean pile, return to the dirty towels bin. It was nice to have these things instead of using my bath towel on a rocky beach. Overall, this was a good hostel and I'd recommend it to friends and most likely stay here again. +bath and beach towels included +well decorated and kept hostel +breakfast included when booking through hostelworld +staff was extremely friendly and helpful -private/smaller rooms have ridiculously small shower

Stayed here for a week and it was perfect. I don't like to optimize for hotels while traveling…read morebecause I tend to spend so little time in them, but this means that you can really be rolling the dice as far as lodging is concerned. I booked a single room here and was not disappointed. First and foremost, the location is absolutely impossible to beat. You're walking distance from both L1 and L2 trams as well as a TER train station. Additionally, you're right next to Avenue Jean Médecin, which is a must-see. The Avenue also offers a direct walking (or short tram) route down to Place Masséna and Vieux Nice. The room itself was both clean and quaint. Free WiFi is offered. Towels are changed and trash is emptied daily. The staff was nice and helpful. Free breakfast is offered in the morning in the form of coffee and cereal, which I feel is pretty standard for most hostels I've been to. The hostel itself has a great terrace in between buildings where people like to meet, drink, and socialize. There are cool restaurants nearby, as well as a great bakery and a grocery store. The hostel also has a kitchen with shareable dishes, which we took advantage of for our wine. That being said, keep your expectations low: it is a hostel, after all. It's around 100 euro per night, so as long as you're not expecting the Hyatt or the Ritz, you should not be disappointed. Would highly recommend and definitely plan on coming back!

Here is a text from my memory, which must now go back to the times in 1994…read more As a child I regularly visited this campsite with my parents and my brother, as campers and as a proud tenant of a bungalow. The 1200 km long journey from Germany all took in their stride, although without an air conditioning and navigation in the car, it not made the journey a pleasure. One of the first things that hit me in the head when I look back, is the incredibly intense fragrance of a streamed after go out from the car in the nose of conifers and olive trees in addition the whole place was cozy. The panoramic view from the mountain to the open sea makes the typical holiday feeling strong again. The two pools that were easily accessible from anywhere on the grounds were always well attended and my parents and we children were fast connection to other visitors. The small supermarket and the restaurant were a blast, also for the Framework Programme for entertainment (children's discos, night swimming, animation) I have good memories. As an camper you had all the comforts of home near the standing space of your tent, washing their own closeable refrigerator and flushing and showers. In the bungalow, of course, everything was integrated. At night you could hear the quiet chirping of crickets while still a comfortable 20 degrees. The surrounding area was easyly to reach in the car, like the beach, sightseeing the cities of Genoa and San Remo. Then 14 days were far too fast gone. In my opinion, be recommended if today has not changed much of the charm of the plant.

This place gets two stars because of the location but that's it. I was here over the summer and…read morefound it to be way too expensive for what you get. Sure, there's champagne parties and wine parties, but I'd rather the owner allocate his funds to making the accommodations better. I slept on a bunk bed that was falling apart. My bed was dipping so low that I looked at the underside and the metal rods are broken and only being held together by HAIRTIES. Also, the owner was very sketchy. He took up some 18 year old girls with some wine and sushi and they came down wearing his clothes. I tried to talk to the girls but they weren't having it. Overall it's a good location but STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE! Spend a bit of extra money for DECENT accommodations.

If you've ever read my reviews, you would know that I'm a crazed food whore with a drinking…read moreproblem. Because of that, I limit my reviews to restaurants and booze bars... HOWEVER, I recently went to Cannes and was amaaazed by this cute little villa-hotel and I feel it my unicorn duty to let the whole world know the magic of this place! When picturing Cannes, you imagine glamorous people chic-ishly cat-walking down the sparkling cote-d'azure runway-sidewalks wearing the latest garments newly created by the best fashinistas in the universe! Or you might picture an international gathering of film lovers discussing the latest indie film which they are SURE you've never heard of before. Amidst the fame stricken coast, you might imagine having to pay for accommodations with either your first born child or through precious gems yet to be discovered in the Himalayas. But wait.... How will you afford all the 30 EUR martinis while you're out dancing and trying to hook up with up and coming movie stars?? I wasn't able to justify paying for a hotel with golden bars, so I decided to free style my visit. Realistically there were three options: 1. Find someone rich to shag and sleep at their place 2. Get super wasted and "fall asleep" somewhere on the beach 3. Hope the travel gods favor me that day and find a random place to stay. Although #1 and #2 could have easily happened, while walking through the city that day, a ray of sunshine landed upon an establishment. I felt as if nothing else was visible and I was slowly being sucked in by this quaint and charming location. Where am I?? I thought.... And before I knew it, I realized I was in the Chanteclair. Oh the Chanteclair - I hope no one finds you so you can be all mine whenever I want to Cannes it up again. With your 15 well-kept rooms, each with their own style and design, I feel like I can be charmed by your sweet French je ne sais quoi 15 times. And what can be better after a night of absolute pleasure and comfort than a French breakfast with sun golden flaky croissants, warm welcoming baguettes and French press coffee sure to wake you up no matter WHAT kind of night you had. Suddenly I woke up from my dream and realized that a surely a place like this would charge me 1 liver and 6.8 fingers. But to my surprise, the rates were NOT going to drain my bank account! As soon as I realized I CANNES stay in this beautifully magical lodge in the middle of the city, I booked and never looked back. There is NO WAY I would stay anywhere else and the two guys that run this place are nothing short of completely hospitable and jolly unicorns!! I want to tell people not to stay here... but really... stay here!!!!

Great quality for a great price. We had a 3-person room, which came with a double bed and a single…read morebed. Great shower too; the water pressure is amazing. For three, the price came out to be around €19 per person, which isn't bad at all. Beds are comfortable, and there's heating as well. The reception is closed from 1PM-5PM though, so make sure to not come at that time! The guy running the place is super friendly. The location is pretty great too, super close to Rue Meynadier, the long shopping street. Highly recommend!
