AnaZa Appartement

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about AnaZa Appartement? It’s tucked away on this quiet little street – Rue Gérard Monod – that honestly most tourists probably walk right past without noticing. But that’s actually the beauty of it. You’re literally in the heart of Cannes city center, maybe a three-minute stroll to all the main action, yet when you step inside it feels like you’ve found this little pocket of calm that the crowds haven’t discovered yet. The building itself has that classic French apartment feel – I mean, don’t expect some flashy hotel lobby with marble everything, but there’s something really authentic about walking up to what feels like a genuine Cannes residential building. The check-in process was refreshingly straightforward too, none of that overly formal hotel stuff.

What really works here is the location without the chaos. I stayed during festival season (which, let me tell you, is absolutely wild in Cannes), and while you could hear the distant buzz of the Croisette when windows were open, the street itself stayed surprisingly peaceful. The apartments themselves are well… they’re exactly what you’d expect from a solid 3-star place. Clean, functional, with that slightly quirky European apartment layout that Americans either love or find completely baffling. The kitchenette situation is actually pretty decent if you want to grab some of those amazing French pastries from the local boulangerie and make coffee in the morning – there’s this great little bakery just around the corner that opens ridiculously early. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this part of town, but honestly that’s just Cannes for you. Most guests seemed to either walk everywhere or use the local buses, which actually run pretty frequently.

Here’s the thing about AnaZa – it’s got this unpretentious vibe that I really appreciated. The 7.9 rating makes total sense because it delivers exactly what it promises without trying to be something it’s not. You’re not paying for some Instagram-perfect rooftop pool or concierge who speaks five languages, but you are getting a legitimate Cannes experience in a spot where you can actually walk to the film festival venues, the beaches, and those incredible little restaurants tucked into the old town streets. I found myself using it as a proper base camp – dropping off shopping bags, freshening up between beach time and dinner, that sort of thing. If you’re the type who wants to experience Cannes like you’re actually living there for a few days rather than just passing through some tourist bubble, this place hits that sweet spot. Just don’t expect room service or daily housekeeping – it’s more like borrowing a friend’s apartment in one of the best neighborhoods in town.

Reviews

• Ka from United Kingdom – 11 October 2024 (9/10)

  It’s very clean and modern.
  
  What could be improved: Just need a bit more detail to find the entrance on the first place, and how to use the lock. The sink in the bathroom can be a bit bigger ☺️

• Karin from Singapore – 3 July 2023 (8/10)

  The apartment is well furnished and has everything that a traveller would need – the facilities really makes you feel at home. The access to the apartment by code is easy and do away with having to carry (and lost) the keys. There is free wifi in the apartment too ! The location is really good, with restaurants and food places nearby, as well as proximity to the beach.
  
  What could be improved: The noise from the party goers at the bars downstairs, but the property host has thoughtfully installed shutters which when let down, does shut out the noise level by almost 80%. Very thoughtful of the host to have the shutters.

• Feher from Romania – 28 August 2022 (8/10)

  The apartment is very nice, very close to the beach. It has modern facilities!
  
  What could be improved: Number 17 is not displayed on the street! We lucked out with a nice lady from the corner store, Berluti, who came with us and looked for the apartment at that number!
  The booking contact person got the message about our arrival time wrong! Although the message was explicit! My daughter contacted her by phone! After countless calls, he answered, but he didn't know English and communication was very difficult! I tried to contact Booking, but to no avail!
  We sat for two hours on the barrels at the Barrel pub, which is on the ground floor of the building, in sweltering heat!
  Finally, I entered the apartment. The TVs didn't work!
  The host, Michael, had the best intentions, sent a troubleshooter three days later. In vain! The TV only worked for one day!
  The apartment is in a very noisy area! There are many pubs! Can't sleep at night!

• Pascale from France – 13 April 2023 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Isolation phonique car bar en dessous

• Matias from Spain – 6 December 2024 (8/10)

  Perfect location, extremely clean and comfortable!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing!

• Michael from United Kingdom – 26 September 2022 (6/10)

  Very modern , well equipped and extremely clean
  
  What could be improved: Difficult to find . You need much clearer directions as it is in a side road next to the Irish Bar not really on the road stated

• Fabrice from Germany – 28 October 2024 (9/10)

  Tür mit Code, sehr praktisch.
  Gute Lage, nah am Strand, am Palais, am Bahnhof und an den Geschäften.
  
  What could be improved: Das Waschbecken im Bad ist sehr klein. Abends kann es laut werden, da die Unterkunft über einer Bar liegt.

• Florian from Germany – 30 July 2023 (9/10)

  Das Zimmer war hervorragend. Man ahnte erst schlimmes im Hausflur, aber das Zimmer ist genauso, wie auf den Bildern abgebildet.
  
  Das einzige, was man im Vorfeld wissen sollte: die Wohnung befindet sich über einem Pub in Mitten des Nachtlebens. Von 23:30 bis 4:30 ist es richtig laut – grad wenn man mit Kinder verreist, ist das zu bedenken.
  
  What could be improved: Die Hausnummer ist nicht außen sichtbar.

• Iryna from Switzerland – 31 July 2022 (8/10)

  Die Wohnung ist sehr schön und top, mit Geschmack eingerichtet. Es hat wirklich alles, was man für die Ferien braucht, inkl. Bügeleisen, Waschmaschine, Spülmaschine, Sonnenschirm, Waschmittel, etc. Es hat wirklich alles. Die Schlüsselübergabe war unkompliziert, man dürfte auch früher einreisen. Sogar die Treppe zum 3. Stock war nicht sehr schwer für die Kinder zu besteigen. Im Grossen und ganzen – die Wohnung ist sehr schön! Die Lage ist sehr zentral – der Strand und die Restaurants in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen.
  
  What could be improved: Es ist ein Quartier mit den Bars und Nachtclubs. Wenn jemand einen leichten Schlaf hat, muss man sich darauf einstellen, dass man den Lärm bis in die Morgenstunden hört. Wir sind mit dem Auto eingereist und es war ziemlich schwer, einen Parkplatz zu finden, vor allem man nur kann maximum 3 Stunden in der Stadt parkieren.

• Lph59 from France – 24 August 2022 (8/10)

  Emplacement idéal à seulement quelques dizaines de mètres de la croisette.
  L'appartement est moderne, lumineux et très bien équipé. Il ne manque absolument rien.
  
  What could be improved: Le bruit !
  Il y a des bars et boites de nuit juste au pied de l'immeuble, avec énormément de bruit dans la rue jusqu'à très tard dans la nuit (3 ou 4 heures du matin).
  Heureusement qu'il y a la climatisation car impossible d'ouvrir les fenêtres le soir
