nice hotel with a perfect position on the croisette. Room is nice but the bathroom was not at the level of a 5 star hotel( i had a junior suite, 40m)
The plage 45 is really nice!

We choose this hotel because of it's restaurant and private beach . We stayed three nights . Much to our disappointment we were rather arrogantly told that both facilities were fully booked for (at least) the duration of our stay . No single effort was made to come up with alternatives or suggestions . Although the rooms are "ok" they are certainly not up to the five stars this hotel has . For a "Small Luxury Hotel" member we found it rather disappointing , also considering the price we had to pay .

We chose Le Grand as we had read on trip advisor that the location of the hotel is perfect. Indeed it is perfect. The central location is brilliant for going out in Cannes. Perfect for the beach... perfect for the nearby restaurants and bars.. perfect distance for the old town and all it has to offer.

However, other than that, I am not really sure what the hotel has to offer. No pool (major drawback especially as the Marriott is next door and you can see guests on the roof having fun in the pool) and you need to pay extra to sit on the beach (19 euros/per person or 35 per head if you want to sit in the front row). A day of doing nothing on the beach, with lunch, can cost you a 100 euros. It is lovely and certainly relaxing, but you can't help but question whether you are getting value for money?

Don't get me wrong - this is a comfortable hotel. Well furnished rooms and comfortable beds. It just lacks that 'je ne sais quoi'. If I were to go again, I would probably spend less money on a hotel that isn't on the sea front and spend my hard earned euros on going out in what is a ultimately a brilliant holiday destination.

I stayed here with my wife for three nights in July, and was disappointed. When we arrived the room was not ready (which was fair enough) so the girl at reception said she would call on my mobile when it was free. I never heard from her and that set the tone for the stay. The room was large and decorated in a minimalist retro style but smelled strongly of smoke, and the coffee table was stained and dirty. The bathroom was tiny and had more than a whiff of stale urine. We had breakfast and the cold section was fine, but the hot option was stone cold too and not appetising. In the evening we had a couple of drinks in the bar outside as the hotel is set back from the road in its own grounds, which is nice, but the service was very slow. The head waiter was busy bantering with the French speaking and more obviously wealthy guests, but we were ignored. One day we went to the private beach in the late afternoon, but spend 20 minutes being ignored by the staff so gave up. On the last day the room was not made up, and it took three (very polite) complaints to the reception before anything was done about it. When it was finally cleaned, various personal effects on the side stand had been knocked off and not put back. I was surprised to find there was no gym or pool, which you expect at this price (so don't assume, but check). The main advantage to this place is the central location and it being set back from the road, but that does not make up for its faults at this price. Basically, if you look rich and speak more than a few words of French you'll be ok if you can get on with the decor, etc. Otherwise, give it a miss.
