Appartement Cannes Centre – Palais du Festival

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first walked up to this place on Rue Louis Pastour, I wasn’t expecting much – I mean, it’s tucked away on this narrow street that most tourists probably walk right past. But that’s actually what makes Appartement Cannes Centre so perfect. You’re literally a three-minute walk from all the Palais des Festivals madness, but you can actually sleep at night because you’re not right on the main drag with all those late-night party crowds stumbling around.

The apartment itself surprised me – and I’ve stayed in plenty of these converted buildings in Cannes. It’s got that solid, lived-in feel that you want in a French apartment, not some sterile hotel box. The windows are decent sized (which honestly isn’t always a given in these old Cannes buildings), and if you lean out just right, you can catch glimpses of the Mediterranean between the buildings. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets once you close those heavy shutters – you know how sound bounces around these narrow streets, but somehow this place feels insulated from all that. The kitchen actually works too, which is a minor miracle. I mean, you’re in Cannes so you’ll probably eat out most of the time, but having proper coffee in the morning without hunting down an open café? That’s worth something.

Location-wise, this is where the place really shines. You’ve got the Forville market just a few blocks away – go early, around 8 AM, before the vendors start packing up the good stuff. The whole Suquet area with those winding cobblestone streets is an easy walk, and honestly, that’s where you want to be for dinner anyway, not down by the touristy waterfront restaurants. What really sold me though was how easy it was to duck back here during the day. Cannes can be overwhelming, especially during festival season or in peak summer, and having this quiet little refuge where you can regroup… well, it changes the whole experience. The 9.1 rating makes sense once you’ve been there – it’s not fancy, but it gets all the important stuff right. The check-in was smooth, the place was clean without that aggressive cleaning product smell some rentals have, and everything just worked. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need in a place like Cannes where everything else is trying so hard to impress you.

  The apartment was great.

• Philippe from Israel – 6 October 2023 (9/10)

  The apartment was great, the proximity to the old town and the beach was great, there is a parking just opposite but off season you can find free street parking nearby. Nothing was missing. We had some issues with the lock but the host was great and very helpful. This apartment is highly recommended and Richard was very responsive.
  
  What could be improved: Only take into account, the apartment is on the street level, so opening a window can unpleasant and noisy.

• Sam from United Kingdom – 20 March 2024 (8/10)

  The host was very responsive and helpful. Apartment used by work colleagues whilst attending an office event – good location close to Palais des Festivals.

• Tatiana from Moldova – 9 October 2024 (9/10)

  Квартира была чистая, без посторонних запахов. Все оборудование работало исправно (новый холодильник, плита, утюг, кофемашина + капсулы, воспользовались и стиральной машиной), санузел чистый, горячая вода, кровати очень удобные.
  Расположение нас очень устроило – удобно для работы, недалеко от вокзала.

  Fijn contact gehad vooraf met de beheerder😄. Echt een mooi plekje om te overnachten. Locatie is perfect en schoon! Je wandelt je deur uit naar de overkant en je bent zo op de boulevard. Winkels ,eetgelegenheden et cetera alles aanwezig. Voor ons was het apartement fijn, de keuken was compleet met wasmachine en vaatwasser. De nespresso was 🙏🏽 dan hoefden we niet op zoek naar een koffietentje. Grote koelkast met ruime diepvries. Vooral de wasmachine was fijn na 3 dagen roadtrip. We sliepen er 1 nacht maar komen weer terug bij een volgende roadtrip voor een langer verblijf.
  Voor de prijs is het echt waard. Mooie badkamer erbij en woonkamer met grote slaapkamer hebben airco. Parking ligt voor de deur en naar onze mening niet duur (12euro).
  
  What could be improved: Het apartement is natuurlijk afgeleefd, de mooie jaren zijn weg. Maar dat was voor ons niet een heel erg groot punt en drukte zeker niet de pret. Ligt aan de straat dus je moet wel tegen lawaai kunnen.
