2chambres 2 salles de bains Palais des Festivals

Hotel Description

Okay, so this place threw me for a loop at first – the name “2chambres 2 salles de bains Palais des Festivals” basically tells you exactly what you’re getting, which is refreshingly honest for Cannes. It’s tucked on Rue du Maréchal Joffre, and I mean literally a five-minute walk to the Palais where all the film festival madness happens. You know what struck me first? How quiet it actually is for being so central. I was expecting tourist chaos, but this little street has this sort of residential pocket feel to it.

The apartment itself is pretty much what it says on the tin – two proper bedrooms, two full bathrooms, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re traveling with friends or family. No one’s fighting over shower time, and there’s actual space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase. The setup feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a typical hotel room, which I actually loved after bouncing between cookie-cutter chain hotels. The kitchen area isn’t massive, but it’s functional enough if you want to grab groceries from the Monoprix down on Rue d’Antibes (maybe a ten-minute walk) and avoid those brutal restaurant prices every single meal. The furnishings are clean and modern without being sterile – sort of that European minimalist thing that actually works.

Location-wise, this is where it really shines, and I don’t just mean the obvious festival proximity. You’re walking distance to everything that matters in Cannes without being right in the thick of the Croisette madness. La Malmaison is practically around the corner if you’re into art, and honestly, some of the best little bistros are scattered through this neighborhood – places the cruise ship crowds never find. The beach is maybe a seven-minute stroll, but here’s the thing: you’re close enough to pop back if you forget sunscreen or want to dump your beach gear before dinner. Parking can be a nightmare during festival season (well, parking’s always rough in Cannes), but the train station’s walkable if you’re coming from Nice or Monaco. The 8.4 rating makes total sense to me – it’s not luxury, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. Perfect for people who want a real base in Cannes rather than just a place to crash.

• Bring your own pillow but everything else was great – Williams from United States – 19 September 2023 (10/10)

  Everything
  
  What could be improved: except the master room mattress caves in in the middle, so it makes it almost impossible to sleep on side. The pillows are way to hard and big.

• Cannes perfection! – Alicia from South Africa – 28 June 2023 (10/10)

  This apartment was absolutely amazing and we can't recommend it enough! It's like stepping into a beautifully decorated haven right in the heart of Cannes. Surprisingly, despite its central location, it's not noisy at night, allowing us to sleep like royalty. The thoughtful gesture of leaving coffee for us made our mornings even more delightful. Julie, the host, went above and beyond to accommodate our early check-in, showing exceptional hospitality. Communication with Julie was a breeze, making our stay even more enjoyable. We had such a wonderful time that it was hard to say goodbye.
  
  What could be improved: I gotta mention a couple of minor quirks. So, there's this one flight of stairs, no elevator, but honestly, we were three gals hauling around mammoth-sized suitcases, and we easily managed to get our suitcases up the stairs. Then there's the toilet, oh boy, it's tinier than a leprechaun's shoe closet. If you're a tall drink of water, you might struggle to take a seat, no kidding. And brace yourself, the toilet door swings open right into the living room. Talk about a surprise entrance! It could make for some hilarious moments, or maybe a tad awkward, depending on your audience.

• Utmärkt – Emma from Sweden – 23 July 2025 (9/10)

  Väldigt centralt och lätt incheckning.
  Stor lägenhet men en väldigt liten toalett.
  Sköna sängar.
  
  What could be improved: Har inget att anmärka på.
