“GOOD VALUE”

The hotel does not change linen (although they give you replacements weekly) or take out garbage. I give them an excellent review because they tell you that up front and otherwise the accommodation is top notch. The place is extremely clean and security is A1. The furniture may not be extravagant but it is functional - dishwasher, full size fridge, rangetop, cutlery and dishes. The balcony is enormous. You are within a 5 min walk from the marina restaurants and a grocery store. The pool is olympic sized.

“GREAT EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE”

The hotel does not have a restaurant or bar and they do not make up your room...BUT the accommodation is EXTREMELY clean and very friendly. The pool is well maintained. The neighborhood is quiet. You are a 5 minute walk from the Mediterranean. Also a 5 minute walk from buses and a grocery store. Th… more

You are a 5 minute walk from the Mediterranean. Also a 5 minute walk from buses and a grocery store. The rooms are spacious and the balconies are huge. They also don't nickle and dime you ... no charge for wifi or safes. Would gladly return.

We stayed at The Heliotel Marine for the month of October in an apartment that was quite spacious, and is ideal for families as there were bunk beds in the alcove, plus two sofa beds plus our double bedroom. Our unit did need updating, but we saw many on our floor were being painted. Valentina, Sandra and Nicolas at the front desk were quite helpful, even with the language difference. Wifi was sporadic in the room, but great outside in the hallway. Our favourite part of the unit was the awesome balcony which had an awning for sun or rain, and we enjoyed daily. When we left the parking area, the sea was just across the street as well the tourist information centre. The laundry facilities were updated with new machines, the newer elevators worked flawlessly, and the grounds held many trees and flowing plants to enjoy. Great stay!

“I wouldn't go back”

The price of the room is excessively high for the conditions it offers. Close to the beach, located on the edge of the port of Saint Laurent du Var.

The price of the room is excessively high for the conditions it offers. Close to the beach, located on the edge of the port of Saint Laurent du Var. The beach with stones and a steep entrance to the sea. The bus station is close, the airport 3 km away, quite far from the train station. There are no terraces and no restaurant where you can eat. Supermarket very far. You have to go to the nearest at Cagnes sur mer to find terraces, supermarkets and shops. The staff at the reception are very kind, the reception is only open after a certain schedule, if you arrive earlier outside the schedule, there is no one there to help you or check in earlier. The rooms are quite outdated, the rooms are not cleaned at all during the stay, no one picks up the trash, you have to take it out yourself, there are no bathroom products and no toilet paper, no hair dryer. I found the toilet dirty, the bathroom and the windows the same, I don't know how the cleaning is done before the next tourists come, it's clear that everything is done superficially. A hood would have been necessary in the kitchen, otherwise there is all the equipment you need. There are two bathrooms, but poorly thought out, one with a bathtub and sinks but no toilet, and the toilet is separate without a sink. The interior of the hotel looks terrible, the walls are dirty, it needs major repairs. Parking, swimming pool, tennis court and ping pong. I would definitely not come back here!!
