16 Quai Saint-Pierre

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to 16 Quai Saint-Pierre, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place right in the thick of Cannes. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in understated packages. This little gem sits right on the quai overlooking the old port, and I mean *right* there – you can practically reach out and touch the bobbing sailboats from some of the windows.

What really got me was how the staff actually seemed to care about the details. The guy at reception (I think his name was Philippe?) knew exactly which café down the street made the best croissants and warned me that the fish market gets pretty lively around 6 AM if I was hoping to sleep in. The rooms aren’t huge – this is Cannes, after all, real estate doesn’t come cheap – but they’re thoughtfully laid out with these lovely French windows that let in all that Mediterranean light. I stayed in one facing the port and honestly, watching the morning light hit those pastel buildings across the water was worth the early wake-up calls from the seagulls.

Here’s the thing about the location that most people don’t realize until they’re there: you’re literally a two-minute walk from Rue d’Antibes (that’s where all the good shopping happens, away from the tourist traps), and the Palais des Festivals is close enough that you can hear the buzz during festival season but far enough that you’re not drowning in crowds every single day. Plus – and this matters if you’re dragging luggage – there’s actually decent parking nearby at the old port, which is sort of a miracle in this part of town. The 9.3 rating makes total sense once you spend a night there; it’s not trying to be the Carlton or the Martinez with all their pomp, but it nails the fundamentals while giving you that authentic Cannes neighborhood feel. The breakfast room overlooks the marina, and there’s something wonderfully civilized about starting your day watching the yacht crews prep their boats while you’re sipping proper French coffee. Sure, you might hear some street noise if you’re sensitive to that sort of thing, but that’s just Cannes being Cannes – and honestly, it becomes part of the charm pretty quickly.

Reviews

• Andrew from United Kingdom – 14 July 2024 (9/10)

  Location on Vieux Porte is brilliant, with a view across Cannes. Much better view than the one from the moored motor yachts, so it does feel very luxurious! Apartment is spacious and equipped for simple food preparation. Window can be opened completely, so you are instantly in the Cannes vibe. All equipment worked, air conditioning great and LED mood lighting great fun.
  
  What could be improved: Apartment is exactly as advertised, so no complaints. Music from restaurant below is loud and plays until 1.30am, so be prepared. Keys needed to be chased but were eventually delivered later than planned.

• Neil from United Kingdom – 1 January 2025 (9/10)

  Lovely clean spacious flat, great location and very clean. Safe location.
  
  What could be improved: Communication was hard in the lead up to the stay, I struggled to get confirmation that my arrival time was ok and how to collect keys, so arrived at apartment and didn't really know if I could get in.
  
  Couldn't get TV working, but I am sure it was ok.

• Maarit from Finland – 1 October 2024 (8/10)

  Erittäin siisti ja valoisa huoneisto. Makuuhuoneet sijaitsivat kaupungin hiljaisemmalla puolella ja kummassakin makuuhuoneessa oli toimiva ja tehokas ilmastointi. Sijainti kerrassaan loistava.
  
  What could be improved: Erillisessä wc:ssä ei ollut käsienpesumahdollisuutta eikä bideetä.
