This hotel is near INRIA and several other research facilities and businesses, and is best for people visiting them. If you have a rental car you can also get to Sophia-Antipolis fairly easily, and to the sea. It's a quiet hotel. The bar and restaurant are boxes with no atmosphere, but the organic salmon was good, and the breakfast buffet... More

After staying in the Hotel Omega the night before, I was surprised that this hotel, from a well-known chain was actually not that nice. Popular due to the fact it was a Novotel, but that shouldn't be seen as an indication of a good hotel. Reception never had enough staff to serve you, and the rooms although looking nice were... More

It has proximity to our office, that is where the goodness stops. Except the staff are very nice. Otherwise soul-less chain hotel. Bar - poor Restaurant - poor Room - average Hard to get taxis to come there So solid pillows More

Have stayed at the Novotel whilst on business. It's located in the middle of a business park in the middle of nowhere so would only recommend this hotel be considered by business people looking to stay close to their meeting location. I would not recommend this hotel at all for tourists - unless you really are looking to get away... More

Novotels being a chain are all very similar but the Sophia Antipolis stood out for us as having special appeal. Set in woods in a conference type area, I would definitely recommend a car, it was away from the hustle and bustle of Cannes. We stayed here three nights and very much appreciated the bar and restaurant. The staff were... More

I stayed at the hotel during a conference. The staff was friendly (spoke English) and the rooms were clean. The breakfast while not diverse, was quality. More

OK for both business and families. However rooms are quite small for 4 people, furniture is not exactly new (didn't know that old vacuum-tube TV still existed...) and the quality of interior material is quite poor. Air conditioning works fine though. Staff was friendly, but crockery was quite dirty... for me the overall value for money is somewhat below average. More

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. We based our choice on the reviews on tripadvisor and previous experiences with novotel. First the pro's: The pool was very nice. Also the surroundings are wonderful, with the pinetrees all around. There are facilities to make tea or coffee in the rooms. Ample parking. Double doors to the hallway, as is... More

used this as a base for Antibes and Nice. Quiet and away from everything, in fact, it seems to be in a super large office park. Was nice to be out from the chaos and traffic around Antibes. Rooms are what you'd expect from any Novotel - pretty standard, good size, clean but no character. Worked for us but probably... More
