Hôtel Gallia Cannes

It's a 3-star, so you can't have too many expectations. The staff was kind and helpful. I had an early check-in, and although they did let me in earlier, they had me wait an extra hour just for the cleaner to vacuum my room. I have family experience with tourism rentals, and with that size of a room, vacuuming takes 10 minutes max. The swimming pool area is a bit run-down and needs some upgrading, but the water was clean and at a good temperature. The AC in the rooms worked well, but from an ecological POV, they are old and not efficient, so the management would definitely benefit from upgrading them and saving a good amount on energy costs. Be careful with the open breakfast since it looks like it is included because you get free coffee, but you actually have to pay for it. Because it was not clear to me, one morning I had a yoghurt and a piece of bread with my coffee, and next thing I know at checkout, I was asked to pay $20 for that. I explained and refused, and the front-desk staff understood it and were kind not to charge me. The staff is probably the best part of the experience, and overall, I can recommend staying here.

The staff were super helpful with late check in and the bathrooms have clearly been remodelled with a great shower system. Would definitely recommend spending the extra for a superior room- lovely little balcony. Air conditioning worked great, good amount of storage cupboards which had actually been cleaned. The only downside is the decor in the hallways and stairway area is outdated, the lift is tiny, the curtains and room decor are also a bit outdated - great if you really like the old fashioned retro look. However that is very minor as it was good value for money and a great distance to everything (train station, centre, beach etc) be warned: an uphill walk to get there, but again this is not too bad as it’s easier in reverse. Area it is located in overall is acceptable.

Good size room and nice area to be in. Staff very helpful. Some nice touches like 24 hour coffees and pastries often left out for guests . Pool good for a dip too.

Very comfy, nice staff. Definitely staying again.

Excellent value for money, great location, lovely neighbourhood.
