C078-Superb apt in Cannes – Sea view – 6 people

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about this place on Rue des Dozols – it’s one of those apartments that actually delivers on the sea view promise, which honestly surprised me given how many “sea view” listings turn out to be a sliver of blue if you crane your neck just right. This one’s different though. You wake up and there’s the Mediterranean spread out in front of you, and I mean really in front of you, not some distant glimpse between buildings.

The location is what sold me initially – Rue des Dozols puts you right in that sweet spot where you’re close enough to the Palais des Festivals that you can walk there in maybe eight minutes (I timed it), but far enough from the Croisette chaos that you’re not dealing with the constant buzz of traffic and tourists until like 2 AM. The apartment itself sleeps six comfortably, though honestly if you’re planning to cram six adults in here during festival season, just… don’t. It works great for families or maybe three couples who actually like each other. The 3-star rating seems about right – it’s clean, functional, has everything you need, but you’re not getting marble countertops or a concierge service.

What I really appreciated was how the place feels lived-in rather than sterile. The kitchen actually has proper cookware (not just the sad collection of mismatched pots you usually get), which matters if you’re planning to hit the Marché Forville and cook some of that incredible local produce. And you know what? Sometimes you want to stay in and make dinner while watching the sunset over the water instead of fighting for a table at some overpriced restaurant down on the port. The Wi-Fi held up fine when I needed to work, and the shower pressure was surprisingly decent – small things that make a difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a quick weekend.

The 7.2 rating makes sense to me. It’s solidly good without being spectacular, and I suspect some of the lower scores come from people expecting luxury resort vibes at apartment prices. The building’s older, so yeah, you’ll hear your neighbors sometimes, and the elevator is… well, it’s very French, meaning tiny and occasionally temperamental. But honestly, these are minor quirks that come with staying in the real Cannes rather than some sanitized hotel bubble. You’re a five-minute walk from Plage du Martinez if you want to splash out on beach club prices, or you can head the other direction toward Plage Macé for something more low-key.

I’d definitely stay here again, especially outside of the crazy festival periods when prices go absolutely mental and the whole city feels like it’s vibrating with stress. During normal times, it’s this perfect base for exploring the coast – you can day trip to Nice, Antibes, even Monaco if you’re feeling ambitious, then come back to your own space with that view waiting for you.

Reviews

• Marielena from Belgium – 13 May 2023 (8/10)

  The view and the shared spaces, very well implemented kitchen and living room.
  
  What could be improved: No replies on my texts, automatic reply only. I normally don't like using my personal phone for communication.

• Iryna from Ukraine – 14 November 2023 (8/10)

  Very beautiful view from the window. There is a station in 5 minutes from which you can get to any of the neighboring resorts.

• Roshni from India – 25 June 2024 (9/10)

  Spacious and cosy apartment. We had everything we needed for our stay of 7-8 days. The view from the balcony is absolutely amazing. Walking distance from the beach, and good connectivity via bus.
  
  What could be improved: – Toilet needs to be cleaned a bit better between stays.
  – finding cabs can get difficult if you are visiting for crowded events such as Cannes Lions

• Anonymous from United Kingdom – 28 October 2023 (8/10)

  Great location – very spacious

• Elvira from Sweden – 30 September 2023 (8/10)

  Fantastisk lägenhet med underbar utsikt. Fin promenadsträcka in till Cannes och nära till tågstation.
  
  What could be improved: Det var en del saker i boendet som var trasiga vid ankomst och det var svårt att komma i kontakt med värden angående detta.

• Kateryna from Ukraine – 1 August 2024 (8/10)

  Місцерозташування ідеальне- 10 хв пішки і ви на пляжі.Вид з балкону це головний плюс цих апартаментів.Достатньо велика і зручна квартира.Ми відпочивали сімʼєю (4 людей) нам було дуже комфортно.В квартирі є все необхідне для перебування.Постільна білизна і рушники чисті і якісні.
  
  What could be improved: Хотілось би,щоб власники приділяли більше уваги чистоті.В квартирі треба помити вікна,кухонні меблі,і протерти добре шафи від пилу.Один стілець був надламаний,кришка унітазу не добре закріплена ,і ще деякі дрібниці можна підкорегувати.

• Enri from Albania – 27 June 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Es war gut

• Medini from France – 6 May 2023 (8/10)

  La vue sur la mer et le calme de la résidence
  L'appartement est sympa et bien situé par rapport au centre-ville il y a la gare juste à côté et le bus qui vous emmène au centre ville
  Et vous avez aussi une place de parking
  Je n'hésiterai pas à le louer de nouveau pour un prochain séjour
  
  What could be improved: Une voisine du 2eme étage qui passe son temps à tout surveiller une commère. Mais après l'avoir remis en place gentillement elle nous a foutu la paix
  Elle nous a soûlé pour la place de parking et nous lui avons dit que la place faisait parti de la location de l'appartement ou nous étions

• Agnieszka from Poland – 30 July 2022 (8/10)

  przestronny apartament
  
  What could be improved: cieknący brodzik i brak reakcji ze strony obiektu oraz komentarze na końcu o zmyciu naczyń i pozostawieniu aprtamentu w przyzwoitym stanie szczególnie w aspekcie pobierania 120 euro za Sprzatanie przy ok 60 metrach apartamentu

• Sabine from France – 6 April 2024 (8/10)

  L appartement est au dernier étage avec une belle vue. Il est spacieux et très calme. Il y a une place de parking réservée tres appréciable. L appartement est très bien équipé. Beaucoup de livres et des jeux de sociétés 👍 super soirées Scrabble en famille.
  Le gestionnaire est très bien, à l écoute en cas de besoin. Nous relouerons sans problème.
  
  What could be improved: Le balcon paraissait plus grand sur la photo. Les chaises de la salle à manger ne sont pas confortables une est à changer.
  Toiles d araignées dans les toilettes , traces de doigts sur les portes.
