Marijane, Green Valley

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Clearly a work in progress. No one there when I arrived and no one answered the call bell. I found a sign that said to register at the red box. Found a red machine by the door that resembled an atm. Figured it out and it gave me a key. The front door was jammed into a partially opened position. The door at the end of my hall was wide open. I’m a solo female traveller and this gave me pause. Wifi is terrible. No plug by the bed to charge phone. Slept ok. Excellent AC and shower. The manager and I had words which I’m sorry about. The night guy was really great and helped me order a pizza and figure out the vending.

The hotel is very tired and dated, definitely not a 3 star, I would class this as cheap and cheerful, The breakfast for €10 wasn’t worth it for a couple of croissants and coffee which I couldn’t drink.

The view was spectacular because the hotel is on top of a mountain, so we had a wonderful sleep. There’s limited dining places in walking distance. The breakfast was good. The issue here is that it’s a work in progress. They are still building and ironing out the details.

An inexpensive hotel for through travellers

The hotel is located in a largely residential neighbourhood in the hills above the Var. It is quiet, clean and serves an excellent buffet breakfast. Reception was quick, friendly and efficient. Rooms are good, with a small balcony. Bed was comfortable. Bathrooms are a bit dates and be refreshed. There is a very good restaurant 1 minute walk away.

Waste of money!

I arrived early and they allowed me to check on early which was great. On arriving at my room, The door had been left wide open so anyone could have walked in ( which as a young female on my own I found worrying) checking out the room I found a stain on bedding and the room was very basic! No Tea and coffee facilities, no iron etc! I paid for breakfast but felt it was extremely basic and not worth the price! If I’d known that was the selection I would have just gone to the local shop! The staff were friendly which was nice but the last straw was the WIFI which was completely RUBBISH and kept cutting out continuously was annoying so had to waste my own data just to do simple things like arrange an Uber! Wouldn’t recommend or stay again!

It's far away from the city, at top of a mountain. We arrived after dark and wondering many times if we were on a wrong way, because nothing suggested there could be a hotel there. 1. Location: terrible 2. Quietness: the location of the hotel is quiet. 3. Quietness in room: bad sound proofing, you can hear your next door is brushing teeth 4. Bed: not comfortable 5. Bath: hot water flows in dribbles
