“Disappointing and run-down”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

This hotel with a great reputation is a real disappointment. The hotel is of course well located, has history and the rooms are roomy. Yet, the whole place is totally run-down. This is NOT the 5-star hotel it tries to live up to, whatever the the number of great movie stars who might have stayed there decades ago. Everywhere the the paint is peeling. It even smells bad when you arrive. To aggravate things, you pay Euro 24.= for the worst and slowest wifi internet in the western hemisphere. No!

“Treated like royalty”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

This is my favourite hotel in Cannes, always have a junior suite on the front, just to enjoy the spectacular views

The Foie Gras is the best in the world, wish I could get that quality else where

I always use the helicopter in and out as its much quicker and cheaper than the taxis

“Overpriced but THE place to be during Cannes Film Festival”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

I would never stay here of my own accord and if I did, it would certainly not being during Cannes Film Festival. I am however, blessed in my job to be able to attend the festival annually and the Carlton is where we stay. This is decidedly 3 star if it's lucky and I'm tempering my assessment of the staff becuase it really is the craziest time of year there and I empathise with that, but this is overpriced in the extreme, unbelievably bad service, average food and unacceptable rooms. A colleague was mortified to find bed bugs on our second night - totally not cool. I would never recommend this place to anyone who was paying themselves or attending outside the Festival but you cannot find a more 'happening' place during those two weeks. The location is fab, and the atmosphere unbeatable. We are very relieved to here that the Carlton is closing down for a refurbishment - for a significantly long period. I hope that they use this time to not only overhaul the facade and the rooms but also to invest in some client services training for it's staff. I hope they use this opportunity and that in a few years time I'm writing an altogether different review.

Room Tip: For the best view, you want a room at the front but be warned NOISY! The quieter rooms are at the b...

“Super”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

Stayed over in March, great location over the sea and main street of Cannes. The staff are so friendly and helpful even though the hotel was full , stayed a night in a sea view room and another in the e bedroom suite , super luxurious, however the rooms need desperately renovation. Food for breakfast is great. Also thank you to Delphine from reception she is a star and great assets to this hotel.

Room Tip: rooms or suites at the same corridors of the elevators
