    Only pro was there were ants. Owner said he's been treating this but they came through at night and in the morning all through the bathroom.

    Very cute room. Bed is up stairs, narrow stairs. This didn't bother us. Bathroom is under the stairs. Staff were really nice. I didn't check out the pool area but a,walk to beach and town was not even 5 minutes. Really lovely town. I would stay again.

    The soundproofing is not ideal. The bed was located in an upper gallery, accessible by narrow and steep stairs. The front door/window overlooks the street, while the curtains are too light to provide enough privacy.

    I traveled off-season, and was looking for a cheap one-night stay. For the price I payed, the hotel was superb - clean, very close to the busy area of the city, and above all - with incredibly nice and helpful staff.

    Room was very small, pool could have been cleaner & more inviting with a few more umbrellas & newer loungers. We stayed for two nights but the room was not cleaned between. Don’t mind making my own bed but when paying for a room I expect the bathroom to be cleaned & bed made at a minimum.

    Great location to visit the old town & ferry to St. Tropez. Simple basic room with tiny kitchen. Very clean, senior concierge was great, very helpful.

    Our only minor complaint was the lock for the door. It was tricky to open even after we had been shown a couple of times how to open it.

    We really liked the location! The hotel is located in a residential area away from the busy promenade but within a 3 block walk to the beach.

    not bad, not great

    Pay attention the check in closes at 8pm, it is probably mentioned in the booking, I missed it. They are very inflexible with this. After several messages through booking telling them we are not able to make it they told us: sorry, we closed at 8 pm. Only after I called, the guy which I think is the owner made a concession to wait until 9pm. We took the highway to reach them, we couldn`t do our drive on the coast as we wanted to. I asked for alternatives: leave us the instructions and we will get in the room; get the key from a different location. The answer was no:)

    The location is around 10 minutes from the beach front. The rooms are pretty good, not extremely clean, but acceptable : you have a small garden in front for each room, inside there is a sofa, table, bathroom with shower and kitchenette. For the bed you have to climb the stairs. We didn`t take breakfast, but it was available for 10 or 12 eur. Free public parking was available on the street.

    Shower quite small and dark. Kitchenette little outdated, no microwave, but sufficient to make basic breakfast and lunch. Overall a little bit run down. Would still recommend if you look for a place with swimming pool close to the town of St Maxime including parking.

    Good location: 5 minutes walk to the town of St Maxime, 10 minutes to the beachfront and harbor, where you can take the ferry to St Tropez (14€ return, every 20 minutes). Parking available in the street. Nice outdoor seating area with comfortable sunbeds. Large pool, however water not spotless. Very friendly staff. Little outdoor terrace next to our room. Comfortable bed, large fridge.

    Parking in front of the hotel is an issue if you want your car very nearby. I personally would like to feel less disencouraged to take my own food and drinks to the pool by the Information flyer in the room.

    The owner and personnel are very friendly. English spoken if necessary. A walk into town is no more than 2 minutes. Everything you want or need is in short walking distance. Enough beds and parasols at the pool. The room was clean and has all necessary facilities. The shower was small but good for us.

    Even the owner does not know how to explain the origin of the hotel ))))

    5 min walk to the wonderful city beach, almost 100 years old hotel, extremely clean, new furniture, a private terrace in the room, and a shared pool in the backyard of the hotel. The entrance terrazzo with the hotel's name is a tiny piece of art. The shutters and the round window up to them are divine details. Thanks to the hotel the town of St Maxime is now our favorite place at Cote D Azur.

    nothing this place is lovely

    This is our second time staying here after loving it so much the first time round. This time we brought our parents with us and made special memories. They loved it so much they want to make it an annual trip Everything from the location, the cleanliness, the caring staff the poolside relaxation to the food is just what you need from a break in the South of France. Thank you and see you soon! xx
