Anzur YourHostHelper

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to Anzur YourHostHelper on Rue Meynadier, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in unassuming packages. The building itself has that classic French charm without trying too hard, and the entrance is actually pretty welcoming once you spot it among all the other storefronts.

What really got me was the location – I mean, you’re literally in the thick of everything here. Rue Meynadier is this fantastic pedestrian street that locals actually use for their daily shopping, not just tourist stuff. There’s a fromagerie two doors down that smells incredible every morning, and the covered market at Forville is maybe a three-minute walk if you’re moving slowly. The staff seemed to get that too – they’d casually mention which bakery opens earliest (it’s the one near the corner with Rue Louis Blanc) or where to grab decent coffee before 7 AM. These aren’t things you find in guidebooks.

The rooms are… well, they’re exactly what you’d expect from a solid 3-star in Cannes, but honestly that’s not a bad thing. Clean, functional, with decent WiFi that actually worked when I needed to upload photos. The AC was a lifesaver during those sticky July evenings, though the walls are a bit thin – you’ll hear your neighbors if they’re having animated conversations late at night. But here’s the thing about staying right in the city center: there’s always some street noise, especially during the morning market setup around 6 AM. I actually found it kind of charming after the first day, like you’re really living in a French town rather than hiding away in some sterile hotel bubble.

What surprised me most was how the place manages to feel genuinely helpful without being pushy. The front desk folks actually knew their stuff about getting around – not just the obvious tourist spots, but practical things like which bus gets you to the train station fastest (spoiler: it’s easier to just walk) and the fact that parking near the Palais des Festivals is basically impossible during festival season, but there’s a decent public lot about ten minutes inland that nobody talks about. They even had restaurant recommendations that weren’t just the expensive places that give kickbacks to hotels.

I mean, let’s be real – this isn’t luxury accommodation, and it’s not trying to be. But for the price point and that location, it’s actually pretty solid value. You’re paying for the address more than anything else, and in Cannes, that address matters. You can walk to the beach in about eight minutes, hit the fancy shopping on La Croisette when you feel like pretending you’re glamorous, then duck back to Rue Meynadier for actual food at reasonable prices. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re staying somewhere authentic rather than in a tourist bubble, but you’re not sacrificing basic comfort to get there.

Reviews

• Great apartment in the centre of Cannes. – Joanna from United Kingdom – 11 May 2025 (8/10)

  Fabulous location near the beachfront, the old town and a whole range of shops and restaurants. Comfortable and well laid out apartment with all the facilities you need.
  
  What could be improved: Not a didn’t like but worth noting it’s three floors up without an elevator. Busy street can be a bit loud but it’s okay if you shut the windows. Bathroom door may need some oiling!

• Good stay – you need to be in good shape if you are in an out multiple times in a day. – Samantha from United Kingdom – 6 December 2024 (8/10)

  Location is great.
  
  What could be improved: There are more than 80 steps up to get to the apartment and as it’s a spiral staircase the treads are not very wide. Very challenging to manage luggage up and down. The shower room is perched at the top of stairs and it doesn’t feel safe accessing the room. The images did show that it’s an attic space however you don’t realise how low some of the beams are.

• Great view comfortable beds lots space – Monika from United Kingdom – 6 July 2024 (9/10)

  Lovely view, comfortable beds, lots space for two, had iron and washing machine very handy. Lovely small tea coffee bits gift on arrival lovely touch, clean
  
  What could be improved: Long way up the stairs with heavy suitcases not easy, as no lift , noise from street early morning and late night, the picking up the keys not easy better if they can install the box outside for the keys rather than going first 20 min each way to pick them up if you don’t get on time mgs to go there first and taxi will not take you it is a lot hassle form one side to other when you tired after the flight. Not clear what to do with rubbish when full to take it and when?

• Nice place, with excellent location. – Teona from Georgia – 5 July 2024 (8/10)

  The location is excellent. The apartment is very comfy and clean, equipped with everything required.
  
  What could be improved: People with heavy luggage shall consider that there is no elevator and the stairs are really tricky, so it was quite hard to climb to the last (third) floor.
  
  Would have been better to have more towels, it was one per person for 4 days.

• Great spot in a great location – Ross from United Kingdom – 31 May 2024 (9/10)

  Amazing location, spacious apartment
  
  What could be improved: Air con was temperamental

• Great location, modern and perfect for friends or a small family. Only 1 toilet & no elevator but the apartment layo – Vaughn from United Arab Emirates – 16 April 2024 (9/10)

  The location and apartment amenities & appliances
  
  What could be improved: That there was only one WC/ toilet & no elevator

• Could be the perfect appartment to except….. – Jon from United Kingdom – 28 September 2023 (8/10)

  Location was superb, great size apartment and was very clean.
  
  What could be improved: Check-in process was a pain. Lack of privacy in one bedroom and the living area which is overlooked by neighbours and no blinds or curtains. Made a woman feel vulnerable. Light pollution in bedroom was unfortunate. Give us privacy and it's ten out of ten.

• Lovely stay in Cannes. Please get better at responding to messages sent through booking.com – Rob from United Kingdom – 29 July 2025 (7/10)

  Great location, great roof terrace, well designed for the space it has.
  
  What could be improved: The sofa wasn’t very comfortable. There weren’t enough cups for tea/coffee. The communications from the host weren’t very good.

• Good except for the noise and the hassle getting the keys. – Charles from United Kingdom – 30 September 2024 (8/10)

  A good two bedroom apartment for what we needed. Also clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds etc. Nice to have a balcony with a view of the harbour too. Though read my comments below on noise.
  
  What could be improved: Great location except incredibly noisy. Builders were working on the apartments opposite and one morning started work loading a lorry with rubble at 5am. On most mornings deliveries for the restaurants and shops nearby would start from about 7am. Delivery lorries would sometimes block the road and those behind would start hooting their horns.
  A great flat for the deaf or for early risers! But it is in the centre of town, so some noise has to be expected.
  Also, we had to collect the keys from an agency keybox about 15 minutes walk away from the apartment, which was a pain as we had to carry our luggage there and back.

• Overall location was brilliant and it was a good find. – Grania from United Kingdom – 20 June 2024 (8/10)

  Location was great, comfortable apartment.
  
  What could be improved: One of the bedrooms didn't have a blind on one of the windows. Ants paid a visit. 2 bathrooms but only 1 toilet.
