Viatges a Freissinières

Location was ok, need a car to get to the good parts of Antibes. I gave everything 5 star because I don’t speak French and didn’t know what I was rating! The room was really nice, the staff were friendly and helpful. The only downer was kids outside screaming til midnight and the windows didn’t muffle the sound at all. We had no phone to call reception so I had to get up, get dressed and go ask reception to please ask the families to quieter their children at midnight. The guy on the Friday night at reception told me asking guests to keep noise down was not his responsibility! The other 2 staff were very helpful, lending me an umbrella when it rained.

Great value. We asked for a twin room, but got given a queen bed. In the end this didn't matter as it was large enough, and also a nice bed. The bathroom room could do with some improvement, as there isn't space to hang things. However the shower was good. Staff changed the towels everyday. Staff were helpful in sourcing an iron & board for us when needed, from reception. I think prior guests had smoked either in the room, nearby, or perhaps this is the cleaners? It wasn't overly strong, but some of our clothes caught this scent until we washed them upon returning home. It wasn't a big issue, within 30 seconds of entering the room, you'll adjust and no longer smell the smoke. The area was perfect if you want to be situated within walking distance of everything that is convenient. You have a tram stop less than 5 minutes walk away, which can take you to the airport. Also Old town is an easy stroll. The A/C doesn't seem to get as cold as it's supposed to. My theory is that the window isn't properly sealed when it's closed, and maybe this means warm outside air enters the room. It does eventually catch up, but takes a long time. You need to leave the A/C on 24/7. At least this was the case for Room108, I can't speak for others. If you keep it turned on, then returning to the room gives you a pleasant relief from the hot streets of Nice (summer time). Check-in & check-out processes were super easy. The toilet has a swivel seat, which is ideal in a small room.

Great location!

Value for money was relatively good. We booked at short notice due to alternative plans falling through. The room was very basic but had a really nice bathroom, air conditioning, blackout blinds and was really accessible. If you are looking for luxury, probably avoid. But for convenience at a reasonable price it’s definitely worth considering.
