But not mad about the steep hill climb to the hotel which, to be fair, can't be helped. Located really near the train station & the town it's a great base for travelling around. The room was clean & comfortable with a great little balcony to take in some of the sunshine. I'd stay here again.

This hotel is small, on the fringe of a residential area, with citrus trees and winding little streets, a self-proclaimed "naughty" but personable Frenchman (J.C.) as your host, and great walking access to the JLP train station, JLP restaurants and Old Antibes. Our room, on the lower level, was quite large and the bath was the largest we'd seen in our three weeks in Europe. A huge window let the morning sun and fresh air into our quiet room. J.C. served us our breakfast there - our choice, instead of out on the small patio. The walk to town doesn't start out to be scenic, as you travel a few blocks down a semi-industrial looking road and cross a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks, but then you soon come to the shops and cruise down the hill to the beach. The Astor was very comfortable, quiet and easygoing, not for the seeker of fancy.

J.C, the conciere was friendly after our long sweaty trip prior to arrival. He gave us a very large, clean room, great bathroom. We could walk to the ocean/beach in about 10 mins. Room had a fan and stayed rather cool. Train stop was about a 10 minute uphill walk away as well.

The hotel is overall limit ok. For the period, mid september, the price is quite high for the quality and position. Directly around there is not much, and to reach the beaches takes about 15 min by foot. Juan les Pins is a very nice place however.
The room is large, but not very clean, and pretty old. We had a studio with kitchen, equipped but not very clean. the towels should have been replaced once in the middle of the week, but they "forgot" to do so.
The owners are ok, but a bit agressive on the borders. Finally when we left, they promised the caution back by bank transfer, which never occurred, despite repeated emails.

All in all i would say you can find much better places in Juan Les Pins at this period of the year, and especially closer to the beaches and touristic areas. Hotel and service quality is mediocre.
