apartment 50m from historic town 5min Beach Palais Croisette – Free private parking

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place? The name is basically the entire selling pitch – and honestly, they’re not overselling it. This apartment really is about 50 meters from Cannes’ old town, maybe a 5-minute stroll to the beach, and yes, there’s actually free parking (which, if you’ve ever tried to park in Cannes during festival season, you’ll understand is basically finding gold).

I stayed here last spring when the Croisette was doing its usual circus act, and this little spot on Rue des Suisses felt like having a secret base. The street itself is pretty quiet – you’re close enough to hear the buzz from the main areas but far enough that you can actually sleep without earplugs. The apartment has that lived-in feel that’s way better than sterile hotel rooms, though I mean, don’t expect luxury resort vibes. It’s a solid 3-star setup, but the location does most of the heavy lifting here. You can walk to Marché Forville in the mornings for those incredible tomatoes and olives, then be on the beach before the sun gets too brutal.

The private parking thing is actually a game-changer – I watched people circle blocks for 20 minutes looking for spots while I just pulled right in. The host was pretty straightforward during check-in, no fuss, just handed over keys and gave me the WiFi password. The 9.6 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re getting for the price point in this area. Sure, the apartment isn’t going to win any design awards, and the shower pressure could be better (welcome to old French buildings), but when you’re spending most of your time exploring Cannes anyway, you just need a clean, comfortable place to crash. Plus there’s something nice about having a little kitchen – grabbing fresh bread and cheese for breakfast beats hotel continental spreads any day. If you’re the type who needs to be walking distance from everything but doesn’t want to blow your budget on Croisette hotels, this is honestly one of the smarter picks in Cannes.

• Lovely apartment that feels like home – Halford from United Kingdom – 7 June 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was really very, very clean (my Wife is a stickler for such things, and she was very impressed!) .
  
  The location was spot on, very conveniently located, and secure private parking was a bonus for us in our road trip. There was some cold drinks eft in the fridge, which was a godsend, as was the air conditioning.
  
  The personal welcome from the owner was great, he showed us where everything was and how it worked.
  
  What could be improved: A very, very minor thing, but there weren't plug sockets by the bed, didn't really bother us.

• Great – Milena from Germany – 20 May 2025 (9/10)

  Very nice place

• Amazing apartment close to all main attractions in Cannes – Natalia from United Kingdom – 28 August 2024 (10/10)

  We were a family of 4 travelling to Cannes for 2 weeks holiday. The apartment was great having everything we wanted to see. Large double bed, sofa bed for the kids, super large TV running on Netflix, fully equipped kitchen, separate toilet and bathroom, air-conditioning in every room. There was ALDI store 10 min walk away and Casino supermarket about 15 min away, so no issues getting the stuff we needed for our stay. Additionally, the area was great with just a short walk to the old town, the castle, the Midi beach, bars and restaurants nearby. We also took the train to Monaco and other beaches, which is a great alternative to traveling by car with the main train station not too far away. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in the apartment and would like recommending it to others.

• Exceptional – Alperen from Netherlands – 26 July 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was really clean and Triet was a great person. He is amazing host. He told us everything we could do in Cannes. About city, beach, restaurant and he explained other cities for us… The location also very good. It is very close restaurant, beach and city.
  We were very pleased with everything here. The place is higly recommended.

• Fantastic! – S from Italy – 24 May 2024 (10/10)

  Triet is a lovely host! He was there to greet me as soon as I arrived and he even texted me halfway through my stay to check that everything was ok.
  
  The flat is clean and spacious and very good value for money. It also has everything you may need, from towels and bedding to hairdryer, kitchen appliances and more! The bed and sofa are comfortable and there is a MASSIVE tv. I also felt safe because the door has two different locks.
  
  I went for the festival and it's a bit of a walk, especially on the way back as you need to walk uphill, but considering how in demand the whole city is during the festival, it was still very close (about a 12 min walk to the Palais). There's a supermarket around the corner and also one in Rue Menadier, which has so many shops you might need and even bakeries, cafes and restaurants. It's also very close to the beach. If you're going for the festival, there's a bus stop right outside the flat that takes you both to the Gare and the Cineum, so that's perfect too.
  
  Thanks for a wonderful stay! Would absolutely recommend!
  
  What could be improved: I had some noisy neighbours playing super loud music for hours on my first day there, but on all other days they were quiet so I'm sure it was just a random occurrence 🙂 It didn't affect my stay at all.

• Superb – Christopher from Germany – 24 April 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment is very well equipped with all the described comfort. It is also close to city center and the beach. We had a good time with our one-year-old daughter.

• Perfect lodging and location in Cannes – Hhkkg from Germany – 31 March 2024 (10/10)

  The location is great – you're a block away from old town Cannes, 5 min walk to the castle, 7 min walk to the beach, less than 15 min walk to the harbor and building where the Cannes film festival is held. We were in Cannes for 5 evenings which was our base for visiting St. Tropez, Port Grimaud, Antibes, Nice, and Monaco. Triet, the host, greeted us at our arrival and helped us locate parking, which was on the premise, for our 7 passenger van. The apartment is spacious and very clean. The kitchen had all the amenities and there were a few condiments and seasoning in a cupboard which was helpful and eliminated the need for us to purchase small things like cooking oil, sugar, salt, pepper and such. Plenty of groceries stores are nearby which was important since we prepared breakfast daily and a few dinners at the apartment. Triet also left us bottled water and a bottle of Provence rose which is a sweet gesture. I mentioned I would need to do laundry (family of 4) and while I knew there was a drying rack mentioned off his Booking page, I was grateful to find there were actually 2 drying racks. Too often we've stayed at locations which made it challenging drying laundry for 4 with only 1 drying rack. Little details like this that he provides is key. It was very obvious he takes pride in his apartment and goes out of his way to ensure his place provides everything his guests would need. He is thoughtful and would message us from time to time to see how we were doing and gave us suggestions on places to visit, even on the 1 day it rained in the French Riviera. His apartment is very well stocked and he even has apartments in Nice and Grasse. This place is highly recommended from our 5 night experience.

• Superb location and place – Kourosh from United Kingdom – 13 September 2023 (10/10)

  Great location and decorations like walking into art gallery. Everything you can think of is provided in this classy place.
  
  What could be improved: perfect everything
