Hotel Idéal Séjour in Cannes

I'll start with the positives. Rooms are small
but are very clean and beds are very comfortable. AC worked great. Hotel owner is very nice and tried to accommodate all our requests.

The hotel is great if you want a remote hotel (means it is quiet and good for a nice sleep) but it is not as close to the main Croisette/beaches (25 min walk) as other reviews have said and it is quite an isolated uphill walk if you are walking alone at night, so we always took taxis.

The biggest let down of the experience was the breakfast, it is not like the photos advertised. Advertised at €15 a day pp, all you get is some toast, plain yoghurt pots and some supermarket cheese (slices) and ham, and croissants. For the price, you'd expect some hot food like eggs, bacon, and a variety of French cheeses and bread considering you're in France. There were not even baguettes, it was just dry toast and this was really disappointing as we really wanted an authentic French breakfast. I think, with more attention paid to a pricey breakfast, this hotel could be excellent. Due to this, we walked 15 minutes everyday to have breakfast at the nearest cafe and we spoke to a few other guests who had done the same; at the very least you'd expect some hard boiled eggs for €15. I have seen other reviews that have a much wider breakfast selection so it makes me wonder why this was not the case for my stay- consistency should be upheld. Breakfast is a huge part of why we chose to book this hotel and we really were so shocked at how basic the offering was. No one offered us omelettes (as seen in other reviews) or the bread basket I have seen in other experiences.

The hotel is good for a budget stay but the breakfast is way overpriced for what you get.
