It was a bit difficult as i arrived after the reception closed. I received an email with instructions how to get in the accomodation, in good time and a curtesy call to confirm that i actualy received the email which was good. However, the email was in French only which made it difficult. Apart from that and the very-very soft mattress all was good. The appartment was very clean and i enjoyed the balcony. Good transport links. The lady at the reception was very kind and helpful. Ioverall i enjoyed the stay.

Great value for money but you need a car

If you're spending a few days in Cote d'Azur and are looking for an economic option then this property is good. The check-in process was a bit unclear but once that was resolved everything else was smooth. I think the property is mainly a dormitory for students of nearby schools but the family apartment is quite spacious and well-equipped to pass a few days (maybe gets a bit limited for >1 week). It could be a little cleaner but again at the price point we found our room to be great. However I would not recommend to anyone without a car (roughly 20-30 minutes to both Antibes and Nice).

Research week in Sophia-Antipolis

Pleasant and burden-free stay at City Sophia. The residence is quiet, clean and well-equipped. The staff is friendly and helpful, including before the arrival. No issues during the stay and quick departure process. A very good choice for students/researchers given the great rate offered at this time of the year and the numerous schools/labs nearby.

The apartments have seen better days. Ok for a couple of nights but that’s it. Pool area was shut while I was there and apart from the room there wasn’t anywhere else to relax. Hard beds but a quiet night which is needed. Away from anything else so recommend a vehicle if staying here.

Sympa!

Facilité de parking et piscine qui ont rendu le séjour agreable, le tout dans un cadre naturel au milieu des arbres. L’appartement ne disposait pas de climatisation, et sentait le tabac froid. Accueil très correct à partir de 15h.
