Hotel des Orangers - Cannes, France 

The minute we arrived we were welcomed by the very friendly staff that worked there. The hotel was very clean and despite it being near to a main road we found it to be very quiet. The location was great, taking only 10 minutes to walk to the 'Palais de Festivals' in the centre and right beside a steep little street called 'Rue de St. Antoinne' which contained lots of small liitle restaurants and a few pubs (all you need). However elderly or less able people may find that this street up to the hotel will be quite hard going especially in the heat in the afternoon! Our room was fairly small but more than adequate for the week we spent there, was bright had a nice bathroom and a view of the sea (which we had requested when booking). Some of the superior rooms I think had a small balcony too. Would recommend to anyone to use as a base to see the surrounding areas

This hotel is adjacent to the dual carriageway and some unattractive apartment blocks, although some rooms have a view of Le Suquet and the sea, as their website suggests. The rooms are tired, the plumbing in mine was a little dodgy and the staff are mostly indifferent. Certainly not a place I'd rush back to.
