We spent a warm late afternoon/evening here in early June. This hotel isdescribed on websites as being "elegant Belle Époque style". This grand old lady has seen better days. The entrance steps and door are rather shabby but once inside the air-conditioned Reception/Lounge/Bar area it has a definite charm. These areas were spacious and attractive especially the bar. The pleasant Reception staff spoke little English but were helpful with an extra pillow after resorting to our phrase book. The hotel was easy to locate and we drove there from Toulon (39Km).

We had booked via the Internet requesting a 'seaside room with balcony' as this was our first look at the Med and we wanted to savor it. Our room on an upper floor (there is a lift/elevator in this large hotel) did not present as nicely as the web shots portray but was spacious and clean. The bathroom was old fashioned and large. Our balcony had two chairs, a drop down table and a good view of the bay- just as we had hoped. The air-conditioning (unlike the Reception area) appeared not to cool the air only blow it around - perhaps not considered too essential early in the summer?

The room charge was 131e and unlike all our other Internet hotel bookings we paid for it immediately on booking in early May (no refund available) so be sure of your travel plans.

The hotel is well located only 100M from the beach and tourist office. The 'park like grounds' were a big disappointment and not 'park like' at all. They were however refurbishing some parts of the grounds so they may be more attractive soon. There was a large swimming pool. There was adequate parking near the hotel.
