“Not worth staying here - there are many better alternative options”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

If you want luxury and class, you won't find either at this hotel. The staff was unfriendly, the management was rude, and the male receptionist (Jaque) did not know what he was doing. I would highly recommend you find an alternate hotel. This place is not worth the amount they charge.

Within in the first 15 minutes of arrival, we were overcharged by 280 euros due to calculation error by the male receptionist (is math calculated differently in France?). My money was never returned. He also blamed us for making a mistake when booking the rooms. Rude.

Our rooms were decent, at best. Clean, nice bathroom, but very dingy and run down. A few critters (small lizard, bees, moths) made their way into our room occasionally, but the staff did help to escort the bugs out.

Looking for a nice view of the beach? You won't find it here. Multiple trees block the water down below, along with a gigantic crane to the left of the hotel.

The location of this hotel is very inconvenient. It is up a hill and far from the main road, and walking is not really an option. If you plan to go to the Saint Tropez port area or Ramatuelle beach, then don't bother staying here. It is 35 euros each way to/from the hotel that you are MUCH better off just paying slightly more to stay at cleaner, nicer, and more conveniently located hotel.

Our check out process was also a nightmare. We had an early bus to Saint Raphael and needed to leave the hotel promptly at 6:45am. Unbeknownst to us, the front desk does not open until 10am AND they hold on to your passport at check in. Meaning, I had no way of getting my passport back. Finally, the manager showed up (after the night guard was blatantly rude to us).

The manager is HORRIBLE. He pretended not to understand anything we were saying, very unfriendly, not helpful, did not care that he had my passport hostage. Even when we voiced our concerns, he could care less.

IF THE MANAGER DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE GUESTS AT HIS HOTEL, THEN HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE SERVICES HE PROVIDES. And that was made evident by the staff and receptionist.

Les Capucines should be your LAST RESORT...trust me, there were much more amazing hotels in the area.

Room Tip: Don't bother staying here

The problem, during your arrival, is due to the fact that you had reserved a family room for 4 persons but, then, you wanted another room in more.
You said that your money never returned !!! I think that, on the whole stay, you paid only what you owed and NOTHING MORE.
Contrary to what you say, the hotel is very well situated... In the middle of a big pine forest, it is very quiet... Exactly, we do not see the main road and it is very well. It is indicated everywhere that the hotel is more than 2 km of St-Tropez thus, it's true, it is a little bit far to go on foot there... But you were warned.
For the check-out, the reception opens in 8pm (AND NOT 10pm). For a morning departure, it is enough to say it the day before and to make the check-out at this moment.
For the manager, be reassured, he takes care of his customers and his services as demonstrates it very great majority of satisfied customers.
Best regards.

“Beautiful, relaxing, close to town and great food!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011

The pool and food at this hotel were so good we opted to spend a day here instead of trekking to the beach. The staff were very sweet as well.

“Great Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2011

Really the find of the St-Tropez area. Great people that look after you and you can have fun with. Central location , quite, but 5 min drive and you are in the port of St -Tropez. Poolside was great, room large , ample parking, good breakfast and a great price for where you stay. Love it and will be back!!
PS: they need internet in the rooms :-)

“Nice Easter break in a beautiful environment”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2011

Few words to comment a nice hotel like Les Capucines.
Well placed in an area overcrowded of hotels and b&b, this hotels offers a great view, a wonderfully maintained garden view with a warmed pool + a small jacuzzi.
Restaurant of average level, nothing special (and avoid the pasta there....), but quite expensive.
Rooms are comfortable, but would need a strong refurbishment to be at the same level of the rest of the structure (at least the ones around the # 23 and above). A bit noisy - I have the doubt that in the Eastern time, with families around, the place is quite calm, but in the summer I am afraid will be more noisy...
Finally, the service is more than good, people are friendly and serviceful, committed in helping guests.
Prices are a bit high for the overall treatment (a dinner for 2 has cost 95 Euro without wine) and the room was 150Euro per night. We were looking for something better thn what we had in Liguria recently, and we got it.
A big minus for me: no wireless connections in the rooms

“Away from the crowds”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2010

Set in lovely grounds in a quiet location, this hotel is handy for town which is a very short drive or 15 to 20 minute walk away. We had a small, ground floor double room which was totally adequate but could benefit from improved lighting – only sheer curtains at window but external shutters – good, bright bathroom. The poolside bar & restaurant prices are very high but this is St Tropez. Did not have breakfast or dinner there so cannot comment although dining room looked very pleasant. Staff OK. Would I go back? Probably, but off season for the more realistic price and fewer crowds in town.
