Cannes Elegance – Balcony & Quiet Near Shops

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to Cannes Elegance on Boulevard Alexandre III, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the unassuming spots surprise you, and this little hotel actually delivers on its promise of being a quiet refuge near all the Croisette action.

The location is honestly pretty clever. You’re tucked away on Alexandre III, which means you avoid the tourist circus that can make staying right on the Croisette feel like living inside a snow globe, but you’re still just a five-minute stroll from all those fancy beach clubs and the Palais des Festivals. I mean, you can literally walk to Rue d’Antibes for shopping without breaking a sweat – and trust me, after a day of wandering through those boutiques, you’ll appreciate coming back somewhere that doesn’t cost €400 a night. The balcony situation is legit too; mine overlooked a quieter side street where you actually hear birds in the morning instead of delivery trucks (well, mostly).

What struck me about this place is how it feels more residential than touristy. The building has that classic French apartment vibe – you know, the kind with those tall windows and little wrought-iron details that make you feel like you’re staying in someone’s well-kept pied-à-terre rather than a cookie-cutter hotel room. The staff speaks decent English, but they’re clearly more comfortable in French, which honestly adds to the authentic feel. Check-in was straightforward, though they do that very French thing where they explain everything very thoroughly whether you asked or not. The rooms are compact but thoughtfully laid out – I actually had enough space to spread out my stuff without feeling cramped, which is saying something for Cannes. The 7.2 rating makes sense; it’s not going to blow your mind, but there aren’t any deal-breakers either. Air conditioning works (crucial during summer), the shower has proper water pressure, and the Wi-Fi doesn’t drop every ten minutes. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this neighborhood, but there’s a public garage about two blocks away that won’t completely destroy your budget. One thing I really appreciated – and this might sound small – is how quiet it gets at night. Cannes can be pretty intense during festival season or peak summer, but this little pocket stays surprisingly peaceful after about 10 PM.

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

• Neil from United Kingdom – 15 September 2023 (9/10)

  Clean contemporary design with good kitchen and bathroom plus comfortable bed
  
  What could be improved: Check in is a bit of an issue. Know in advance you will need to collect the key from another location in town. The nearest location closes at 1945 and a personal greeter to let you is not always available.
  All works in the end – just need to plan ahead.

• Diana from Belgium – 20 August 2023 (8/10)

  Great specious apartment with safe parking. Really liked the location, not in the main center but all necessary is walking distance – shop, beach, restarants
  
  What could be improved: Only small issue with shower, water didn't go down fast enough.

• Alexey from Canada – 22 July 2024 (2/10)

  The apartment has a good location not so far from the city center and all necessary stores and services.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment cleaning was not done when we came there. The planning arrival time was 15 o'clock and we came at 17 o'clock but the guys were still cleaning and we were waiting in the hall for one hour till the cleaning was done but even after the apartment was not well cleaned. The garbage was still there and the bathroom was not cleaned well. Moreover A/C was not working at all. The garage key was not provided initially and we had to ask the management company for the key and we had to go back to the supermarket to pick up the garage key. We also ask them for A/C and they told us just the A/C should work the management company sent nobody to check A/C. We spent one night in an overheated apartment it was really hot there even my kid got a headache. On the next day I turned off and on the A/C breaker by myself and A/C got back to life. But after that we figured out the A/C drain pipe was leaking in the closet and our clothes were wet. I had to fix it by myself as well.
  The beginning of our vacation was affected by all this staff in a bad way.

• Mustafa from Saudi Arabia – 11 July 2024 (1/10)

  Space
  
  What could be improved: The building smell very bad and the apartment smell so bad also refrigerator smell was unbearable affecting the all apartment finally I discovered that they didn’t remove the garbage the bin was full

• Sara from Italy – 30 October 2023 (8/10)

  Appartamento spazioso e arredato con gusto. Situata in una zona residenziale e tranquilla, ma con un supermercato a pochi minuti a piedi. In casa c'era tutto il necessario per una permanenza lì. Assolutamente un punto in più per la vista del mare dalla sala pranzo. Alla prossima!
  
  What could be improved: Non c'è niente in particolare che non mi sia piaciuto. Cambierei però scopa e aspirapolvere e metterei una tovaglia e qualche piatto fondo in più.

• Yuliia from Ukraine – 5 August 2024 (7/10)

  в обох кімнатах кондиціонер, приємний дизайн, ліфт, гарний будинок, близько до пляжів. Великий розмір апартаментів.
  
  What could be improved: Дуже погане прибирання апартаментів, після минулих гостей не замінили постільну білизну і не винесли сміття. Дуже брудний душ, який мабуть ніколи не чистили.

• Michela from Switzerland – 22 July 2024 (8/10)

  Molto spaziosa e luminosa
  
  What could be improved: Non siamo riusciti ad accedere al parcheggio privato perché non c’era il telecomando

• Haddad from Brazil – 21 May 2025 (8/10)

  Tudo impecável!

• Daria from Poland – 22 September 2024 (8/10)

  Pięknie urządzony apartament. Wspaniały widok na morze. Piękne zamykane osiedle. Bliskość plaży. Duży stół. Długi i szeroki garaż podziemny. Klimatyzacja. Duża kuchnia.
  
  What could be improved: Pewnym problemem było przekazanie kluczy (mimo, że byliśmy na czas) ale problem ten ZOSTAŁ ROZWIĄZANY.
  Byliśmy zarejestrowani przez booking jako 4 osoby i troszkę szkoda, że kolejny dzień trzeba było rozpoczynać od biegnięcia rano do sklepu po kupno papieru toaletowego (bo jedna rolka przy 4 osobach, bidetu nie bylo) kapsułek do ekspresu (bo były dwie) i płynu do mycia naczyń i kapsułki do zmywarki. W dwóch innych lokalizacjach podczas wakacji 2024 nie musieliśmy tego robić. To są nieduże koszty więc możnaby nawet podnieść cenę aparanentu i nie trzebaby wtedy od tego rozpoczynać pobytu. Podobnie długości garażu w metrach nie udało się uzyskać przez kilka tygodni. Zależało nam bo musieliśmy zdjąć box Thule z dachu auta, gdyż z nim auto było wyższe niż 1,8m. Na miejscu okazało się, że garaż jest bardzo długi. DŁUŻSZY NIŻ POTRZEBNE NAM 4,8m+0,85m=5,65m. Więc super!
  
  Wszystkie rzeczy, które napisano w punkcie "Co ci się nie podobało?" są do pominięcia przy wystroju i lokalizacji apartamentu oraz komforcie w nim.

• Alain from France – 11 August 2024 (8/10)

  Appartement était très propre et très bien situé la climatisation est très utile nous sommes proches des plages et des commodités
  
  What could be improved: Ascenseur trop petit, écoulement de la douche obstrué.
