Carolina was very accommodating with my late check in (train delay). It is always pleasant to stay here and the restaurant downstairs is very good. Convenient location and a welcoming feel tot he hotel, more of a boutique hotel than a 2 star.

Economical stay in a great location
I'm incredibly pleased with my stay at Hotel Carolina. Prior to checkin, they messaged me via Hotels.com to ask about my arrival time. This was great so that I knew they were expecting me and I could give them details on my expected arrival time. I later realized this was because this is a family run business and they did not have someone at the reception desk 24/7 - they do have a sign with contact info. I agree with other reviewers that the reception area had a light smell of cigarette smoke. The 2 dogs are adorable, an older one and a much younger, more barky dog. Check in was efficient. My room wasn't yet ready as I was checking in prior to the official time, however within 20 minutes, I was allowed to bring my luggage to the room. There is an elevator, once you lug your bags up to the first floor reception area (2nd floor if you're an American). My bed was comfortable enough for the price. The a/c worked great - while it was mid October, it was still warm. There was a fridge in the room. I stayed in Room 11 - it overlooked the back of the hotel, so not much of a view, but the light was great. The shower door was fragile and took some care to open/close. Shampoo/shower gel combo provided, so bring your own conditioner at a minimum and perhaps your own shower gel and/or shampoo if you like higher end products. The soap bar for the sink to wash hands was a bit gritty. Cleaning forgot to leave me towels one day, but I reported it and towels were delivered.

Great value for money and location
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The thing was we didn’t know we were on a busy street with restaurants and bars and it can be loud in the morning and night if you are tired from a busy day out. Great value for money and very close to Cannes train station. I would recommend and definitely would stay again when I return to the south of France!

Nice customer service, but some concerns
The doors for the rooms on the top floor are difficult to unlock, lock, and open. Other guests and I both had issues getting into our rooms. There were also several ants in the bathroom.

Two nights in Cannes
Great location. Two star hotel so you need to expect two star and it is. However staff lovely, room was very small, it was clean but tired. Only stay two nights so it was fine as a base.

Hotel cancelled on day: rebooked at higher price
Poor experience. Management cancelled our booking on the day of stay with minimal warning and despite us calling multiple times (no answer) to try and answer their question re: check in time. Made us rebook on this site which we had to do at a higher price. They then would only charge the higher rebooked price, not the price we had originally booked. Great location, very tired hotel. But the hotel cancelling our booking then forcing us to rebook on the day, which was a huge hassle and stress while travelling and then forcing us to pay the increased price is just really poor.

Wonderful Location, Exceptional Service.
Wonderful correspondence from the moment I booked and the moment I arrived. Staff was friendly. Hotel was located well for the Cannes Film Festival. The room was nice and spacious for a boutique hotel, my room could have comfortably fit 3-4 people. The street in front of the hotel was quite busy and noisy, but with the double pane soundproof window eliminated most of the noise. Well worth the price, even during the festival and holiday weekend.

Very good deal for short and mid-term stay. Reception and staff very kind, attentive and available. Property in good conditions. All arrangements for check-in and check-out perfectly and kindly handled. Best area of Cannes center to stay. Even though the street is very live, hotel is quiet. Recommended.

Close proximity to everything
Wonderful trip to Cannes, the hotel was just like the pics located in a cafe district just mins from the beach. If you are bringing a car, please be prepared to pay to park. Also parking can be hard to find, we parked about 10 mins (walking) away from the hotel as there is no car traffic on the street the hotel is located on.

nice hotel right in the middle of downtown Cannes
the hotel is very close to the shopping section of high end stores and at the same time close to the downtown area. the room is very clean and has a well sized bathroom with clean towels (not too used as other hotels). it is also not too cramped.

clean and comfortable hotel
I stayed at this hotel in the middle of August, 2014. The hotel is very clean, new bathroom, sheets, towels, very comfortable beds. Air conditioning works very well. The location is ideal-5 min walk from the Cannes train station and public beach. Recommend highly and will return in the future.

Hidden gem in a great location
This hotel was exactly what we needed. It is in an amazing location, super close to the beach and the markets! The stairs up to the rooms are quite the workout so I suggest don't bring a huge suitcase (we had backpacks). They seem to be renovating some parts of the hotels, our door kind of scratched on the floor but that's fine it didn't affect our stay. Good shower pressure and very comfy beds (both big things in my likings of hotels). Location is in the middle of a lot of restaurants and right near the shopping street, but it was absolutely silent up in the room. If we were to go to Cannes again we would probably stay here.
