Le Cavendish Hotel 4 Étoiles Cannes — Hotel in Grasse

Given the reviews, we were expecting a friendly welcome, it wasn't, it was business-like and to the point, not very friendly at all, verging on grumpy sadly, it felt like we were checking in to a chain hotel. Also, we weren't expecting the 200 euros charge to cover incidentals. We put cash down, but changed it to card towards the end of our stay as we didn't want to change up more cash. There is also a city tax, which was around 40 euros for the week. ||Our room was OK, not many power points, no mirror in room near a power point, to use hair straighteners etc, no power point in bathroom for them either. One power point only worked if you had the light on!||Shower leaked profusely on to the floor (I think the drain needs cleaning out), no shelves to put your showering stuff. Shampoo supplied, but no conditioner.|Limited tea/coffee, dried milk powder, no sugar, although there is a fridge, so we bought fresh milk from the local shop.||Bedding of good quality. Also, very good air conditioning. Great view from our balcony, very interesting watching life go on in the streets of Cannes - we would have liked a couple of chairs on the balcony though! Rooms are well soundproofed (if your immediate neighbour doesn't bang their door shut late at night)||TV had UK channels, but buffered a lot - forgive me if I'm wrong, but we just couldn't find the volume button on the remote, to either turn up, or down, which was irritating - don't know if this is meant to be, in order to reduce noise or not? Annoying either way.||This hotel does have it's charm, the lift is lovely, but we found the décor very dour, particularly in the stairway - don't know if this is meant to reflect the era or not?|Breakfast was OK, but on three of the seven mornings, we had to ask for plates as there weren't any. Breakfast appears to be run by young staff, although entirely pleasant, despite not being busy, they weren't on the ball.||We skipped the 'free wine tasting' as we're not really wine drinkers - it's a nice offering though. However, there isn't a bar or restaurant at the hotel, to wind down after a day or night out.||The walk to the private or public beaches is a good 15-20 minutes. 5 minutes to the train station.||I would consider this 'hotel' more of a Bed and Breakfast - as there are no other facilities, other than - bed and breakfast!||The breakfast staff were always very friendly, but the stand out staff were Marie (incredibly helpful and friendly) and I think a young chap called Oliver (?) Perhaps had Marie been at reception, on our arrival, our first impressions would have been much better.||Don't get me wrong, this is an entirely acceptable place to stay, within easy reach of Croisette, marina, beaches etc, so long as you don't expect many amenities and don't mind a...

People looking to book this hotel should know that it is very basic. There is a tiny reception area so there is no privacy if you’re trying to speak to the front desk or checkin/out. The double bed is like a queen or a full size. There are no blankets just sheets. There are limited amenities in the room (one very worn looking bath towel, no slippers, no conditioner, no water bottles). The door has no extra locks or bolts. Its a very simple and insecure lock that frankly makes me feel uncomfortable because there is no security in the hotel. There are stairs that anyone can take up to the rooms and the hotel keeps it’s main door wide open even into the night. The hotel is on a busy noisy street in the old part of town. The balcony isn’t cute. There’s nothing to look at. Just run down roads and buildings. The room is very small but that is expected in France. The hotel lists that it has air conditioning in the rooms but it is rather hot and stuff in the room, likely because the system is very weak and doesn’t support a range of temperatures. The wifi is rather weak too. I would not recommend this hotel for people who are looking for a convenient location as it is a 25 minute walk from the nicer areas and the better beach clubs. This hotel is an okay choice for people looking for a budget option in the area but unfortunately the price of the hotel is hardly that. The hotel rate is about $220 and is advised as four stars but in reality is it is no more than a 2 star place. It feels run down overall and very insecure given the lack of security in the hotel and locks on the door. Overall it doesn’t meet expectations is really not worth it staying if it’s anywhere near $200. I would only stay here for a rate of $100-150 tops if I had to face the choice again. That said, most of the nicer hotels are much more expensive in the area but at least they have security. It doesn’t feel good to worry about things being safe in your room or if someone could break in during the night...
