C027-Spacieux & Lumineux appartement – Centre de Cannes

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place? The light – and I mean that literally. The name says “lumineux” and they weren’t kidding around. Walking into this third-floor apartment on Rue Buttura, you’re hit with these huge windows that just flood the space with that particular golden Cannes sunshine. It’s the kind of brightness that makes you immediately drop your bags and take a breath.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in Cannes rather than just visiting it. Buttura runs right through the heart of the city center, so you’re basically surrounded by actual French life – not just tourist stuff. There’s this little boulangerie about two blocks down where locals queue up every morning (the pain au chocolat is ridiculous), and you can walk to La Croisette in maybe eight minutes if you’re not dragging luggage. The apartment itself is genuinely spacious – I mean, you can actually unpack your suitcase and spread out, which is rare for European city centers. The living area flows nicely, and there’s enough room to cook a proper meal if you hit up the Marché Forville market, which honestly beats hotel breakfast every time.

What I really appreciated were the details that show someone actually thought about how people live, not just sleep. The kitchen has real coffee cups, not those tiny hotel ones, and there’s decent counter space for spreading out maps or your laptop. The bedroom stays surprisingly quiet considering you’re in the center of everything – though I’ll be honest, during Festival season all bets are off for noise levels anywhere in Cannes. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this area, but there’s a public garage about three streets over that’s not too brutal price-wise. The 8.2 rating feels about right – it’s solidly good without being flashy. You’re not getting marble bathrooms or concierge service, but you are getting a comfortable base in an excellent location with enough space to actually relax. For the price point in central Cannes, especially if you’re staying more than a couple nights, it beats cramming into a standard hotel room where you’re tripping over your luggage every time you want to move around.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Cannes at least two months ahead of their visit to ensure availability and secure better rates, especially during the peak May festival season when the city hosts its world-famous cinema celebrations.

Reviews

• Monica from Ireland – 22 April 2025 (9/10)

  Location, cleanliness and comfort
  
  What could be improved: Only concern was the small lift because we had a baby with us and quite difficult to navigate the pram

• Row from United Kingdom – 12 October 2022 (9/10)

  We come here for an annual exhibition and this is a perfect location close to the Palais. Key pick up is very easy, though might be a problem very late as I think access to key boxes by Ma Nolans is locked after a certain time. I had a problem with a door jamming shut, but agents sent a man round with a screwdriver to help me. Lift also broke at one point but was fixed quickly.
  
  What could be improved: Bigger towels maybe – bath towels are quite small

• Tomasl from Slovakia – 26 December 2024 (7/10)

  Location

• Pavel from Czech Republic – 2 October 2022 (9/10)

  Clean room. Excellent location.
  
  What could be improved: The condition of the apartment – broken chairs, dirty (very used) sofa, no curtains, broken marquee in the bedroom.

• Vittorio from United States – 12 September 2022 (7/10)

  Amazing location and very spacious apartment
  
  What could be improved: The apartment was dirty and their service was below 0. Being a One Week vacation with kids, we asked for more towels and a crib several times, but we got no answers in return. Also the Elevator is so tiny that we were unable to fit our baby stroller.

• Grace from Philippines – 23 August 2022 (9/10)

  Very centrally located. Everything is within walking distance.Grocery just around the corner. Very near the train and bus stations. Easy check in and check out
  
  What could be improved: None at all

• Marvin from Netherlands – 13 February 2024 (6/10)

  Location was good, beds comfortable, wifi nice and fast
  
  What could be improved: One of the door handles was broken and locked us out of our room. All our stuff was inside and we had no access to it. The staff did not respond to our emergency messages and calls for more than 48h. We ended up unscrewing the door ourselves because we couldn't see any other solution. This is an unacceptable negligence.
  Also, the second toilet is like a cupboard without window or ventilation, practically not usable.
