6 Rue Coste Corail

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about 6 Rue Coste? It’s tucked away on this quiet residential street that feels completely removed from the Cannes chaos, but you’re actually just a few minutes’ walk from all the action. I mean, you step out the door and it’s all typical French apartment buildings and locals walking their dogs – then five minutes later you’re dodging film festival crowds on the Croisette. It’s honestly the perfect setup if you want to experience Cannes without living in a tourist fishbowl.

The hotel itself is solidly three-star territory, but in that good way where everything works and the staff actually seems to care. My room was clean and comfortable – nothing fancy, but the bed was decent and the shower had proper water pressure (you’d be surprised how often that’s not a given in older French buildings). The breakfast area is small but charming, and honestly, the coffee was better than I expected. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night. Even though you’re in the city center, Rue Coste Corail doesn’t get the late-night party noise that some of the streets closer to the port deal with. The family running the place clearly knows their regulars too – I watched them greet returning guests like old friends, which tells you something about the kind of experience they’re creating.

Here’s the thing about the location that the booking sites don’t really capture – you’re perfectly positioned between the train station and the beach without being on top of either one. Need to catch a train to Monaco or Nice? Easy ten-minute walk. Want to hit Plage du Martinez or just stroll the famous waterfront? Same deal, but in the other direction. And if you’re planning to explore the old town (Le Suquet), you’re actually closer than most of the beachfront hotels. Plus, there’s this little boulangerie around the corner on Rue d’Antibes that does incredible pain au chocolat – I ended up there every morning by day three. The whole area has that lived-in French feel where you’re staying where people actually live and work, not just where tourists sleep. For the price point and that 8-rating it’s earned, 6 Rue Coste delivers exactly what you’d hope for – a comfortable, authentic base that lets you experience Cannes like someone who belongs there, rather than just passing through.

Reviews

• Superb – Liya from Switzerland – 7 October 2024 (9/10)

  The best place to stay in Cannes! Felt so homey. It's close to anywhere. Definitely would stay again when I visit Cannes. Audrey was really helpful and caring. Thank you so much for that lovely apartment!🫶🏼
  
  What could be improved: Nothing! Everything was perfect!

• It was comfortable – Saeed from Turkey – 25 October 2024 (8/10)

  Clean and big rest room
  
  What could be improved: So many stairs to reach the apartment

• Great Location but Lacking Air Conditioning and Security – Francesco from Norway – 21 July 2024 (7/10)

  Apartment in the heart of the historic center of Cannes. Equipped with everything except air conditioning.
  
  What could be improved: The fans are noisy and unfortunately do not solve the problem of the summer heat, especially in the loft where the bed is located.
  
  The check-out day, a thief tried to enter through the window. Obviously, the owner has nothing to do with it, but remember to never leave the windows open.

• Best location to stay in Cannes and feel the city like a local – Kateryna from Ukraine – 1 July 2024 (10/10)

  The most I liked about this apartment is the location. It’s in a very cozy district close to the sea and all necessities like cafes, restaurants and shops. You literally have all you need within 5-10 min walking distance. You really have lots of stairs to get to the apartment, but I was ready for it and have no regrets. Because this gives the charm to that location and feeling that you’re like a local.
  The apartment itself is very cozy with all amenities you need, even more like washing machine , iron , etc. It was very clean in the apartment, the bathroom looks like new. The view from the window is in a very cozy inner yard which also adds a charm to the apartment.
  The communication with the host was really good. Audrey was always in touch and very welcoming. She let me to check in earlier and that was really nice from her. And she gave really nice recommendations about the places to visit nearby.
  Definitely recommend this place ♥️

• Exceptional – Zuze from United Kingdom – 23 June 2023 (10/10)

  I love this apartment it was perfect for me. It's in a beautiful location and was no more then a 10 minute walk to the festival. It was clean, and modern. I'd definitely book again next year.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing is depending on which way you access the apartment there a loads of stairs. I certainly got my steps in for the week! Also to access the bed you have to climb a small ladder. I didn't mind this too much, just had to be extra careful after a few drinks!

• Good communication pre and during stay. Ideally equipped studio. – Anonymous from United Kingdom – 6 October 2022 (7/10)

  Great location for the main conference area. Well equipped.
  
  What could be improved: Very steep winding staircase down to this basement studio. No option of staircase lighting when leaving the studio up to ground level which is not great at nighttime.

• Tolle Unterkunft. – Linda from Luxembourg – 3 August 2024 (8/10)

  Die Lage ist perfekt! Für 2 Personen ist die Wohnung ideal. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und nett eingerichtet. Die Inhaber sind sehr zuvorkommend und lassen keine Fragen unbeantwortet.
  
  What could be improved: Es ist sehr warm in der Wohnung. Trotz der 2 Ventilatoren war es vor allem im Schlafbereich sehr unangenehm. Eine Klimaanlage würde dieses Problem einfach beheben.

• Appartement très sympa et pratique. – Mickael from France – 12 August 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Il fait un peu chaud, une climatisation serait un plus.

• Good – Rosolino from Italy – 2 December 2022 (7/10)

  Posizione strategica anche se arrivarci non è semplice
  
  What could be improved: non mi è piaciuta l'accoglienza con delle chiavi lasciate in un box (molto fredda) la pulizia è assolutamente da rivedere si può fare molto meglio ed inoltre, considerato che c'era la macchinetta del caffè, mi sarebbe piaciuto trovare anche le cialde.

• Exceptional – Dorothée from France – 19 August 2024 (10/10)

  Proximité de la gare et du centre au cœur des ruelles animées et typiques.
  Petit appartement fonctionnel et propre.
  Excellente communication avec notre hôte
