2-Br City center near Croisette & Palais

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place? The address actually tells you everything – rue du Commandant André is one of those narrow Cannes streets where you feel like you’re in someone’s neighborhood, not just another tourist zone. I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from all the Croisette madness, but when you step outside this 2-bedroom spot, it’s quiet residential vibes with actual French people buying bread at the corner boulangerie.

The apartment itself is honestly what I’d call “practical chic” – it’s got that 3-star sweet spot where everything works without trying too hard to impress. The two bedrooms are genuinely separate (not like those fake “2-bedroom” places where one room is basically a closet), and the kitchen actually has real counter space, which… if you’ve stayed in European city centers before, you know that’s not always a given. What I really appreciated was the morning routine – you can make proper coffee while the person in the other bedroom is still sleeping, then walk two blocks to grab fresh croissants without dealing with hotel breakfast crowds. The building’s got character too, that old Cannes architecture with thick walls that keep things surprisingly quiet even when the street gets busy.

Here’s the thing about the location that the booking sites don’t really capture – yeah, you’re close to the Palais des Festivals, but more importantly, you’re positioned perfectly between the touristy waterfront and the actual city where people live. Walk toward the water and you hit all the designer shops and beach clubs within minutes, but head the other direction and you’re in those winding streets with local cafés where a coffee costs €2 instead of €6. Parking’s the usual Cannes nightmare (honestly, just don’t rent a car unless you absolutely have to), but there’s decent public transport connections, and everything’s walkable anyway. During festival season this area gets pretty hectic – I was there in May and the streets were buzzing until late – but the rest of the year it strikes this nice balance between lively and livable. The 8.2 rating makes sense to me; it’s not luxury, but it’s solid, well-located, and feels more like staying in someone’s actual apartment than a sterile hotel room. Perfect if you want to experience Cannes like you temporarily live there rather than just passing through.

Reviews

• Seba from Saudi Arabia – 8 November 2023 (7/10)

  very good location
  
  What could be improved: the stairs very tiring (on the 3rd floor) and only one toilet and one shower

• Tanya from Australia – 14 July 2024 (9/10)

  Perfectly located, cafes, restaurants and shopping at the doorstep and only a few steps to the beach. It was also a very close walk to the kids playground which was great for our daughter. The hosts are welcoming and helpful, we would happily stay again.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom and toilet could have done with a better clean

• Aiko from Italy – 14 November 2024 (9/10)

  Pozione ottima per andare in spiaggia e si trova in centro tra i negozi, ristoranti e stazione del treno.
  
  What could be improved: L’unica pecca è l’ascensore che non dispongono. Troppo difficile per quelli che alloggiano al 4• piano come è capitato a noi.

  localização
  
  What could be improved: Em geral tudo ok. Podiam ser um pouco mais flexíveis na saída ou ter um local para deixarmos as bagagens quando temos voo à tarde.
