Cannes Festival

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about the Cannes Festival? It’s tucked away on Rue Venizelos, which honestly feels like discovering a little secret in the middle of all the Cannes madness. I mean, you’re literally a three-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals, but the street itself has this quieter, almost residential vibe that most tourists miss completely. The building has that classic French facade thing going on – nothing flashy, but it fits the neighborhood perfectly.

The inside surprised me though. For a 4-star place, they’ve actually put thought into the details without going overboard. The lobby smells faintly of lavender (probably intentional, but not overpowering), and the staff genuinely seems to know what’s happening around town – like, they’ll tell you which beach clubs are worth the ridiculous cover charges and which ones are just tourist traps. My room was on the third floor facing the street, and honestly, I was worried about noise since Cannes can get pretty wild during festival season, but the windows must be decent quality because I slept fine even when there were people wandering around below. The beds are actually comfortable too – sometimes these boutique places focus so much on looking good they forget people need to sleep.

What I really appreciated was how they handle the whole Cannes experience without trying too hard. During festival time, the front desk keeps a stash of umbrellas because – and this is something nobody tells you – it actually rains quite a bit in May, and you don’t want to show up to the red carpet looking like a drowned rat. The concierge (well, sort of a concierge – it’s not a huge place) knows the back routes to avoid the worst crowds when the Croisette becomes absolutely impassable. Plus, there’s a little café around the corner on Rue d’Antibes where locals actually go for coffee, not just tourists paying €8 for an espresso. The hotel pointed me there on my first morning, which immediately told me they get it. Location-wise, you’re close enough to walk to everything that matters – the beaches, the old town up the hill, even the train station if you’re doing day trips to Nice or Monaco – but far enough from the main drag that you’re not dealing with drunk people singing at 2 AM. That 8.7 rating makes sense once you’ve stayed there. It’s not trying to be the Carlton or the Martinez, but it delivers exactly what you want from a Cannes hotel without the insane prices or the attitude.

Hotels in Cannes offer guests the perfect blend of French Riviera elegance and modern comfort, with many featuring red carpet concierge services and private beach clubs to enhance the authentic glamorous French experience.

Reviews

• Huda from Canada – 24 July 2023 (9/10)

  great location, very spacious, airy, quiet & convenient!! had most amenities needed & for what’s missing it’s conveniently located next to Monoprix where you can find everything from grocery to last minute shopping needs + it’s 100 meters from rue d’Antibes, main shopping street in Cannes 👍
  
  What could be improved: broken dinning chairs & used up sofa. if you’re staying for long you’ll need a change of bedding sheets. no parking available so you’ll need to park in one of the nearby garages for a hefty sum !!

• Prashanth from Finland – 15 January 2024 (7/10)

  Very central location.
  Spacious and comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: Outdated equipment, could not stream music or movies
  insisting on physical card matching that used on Booking.
  portable heaters were provided but could be larger.

  Exceptional in every way. Host very accommodating. Property perfectly located. So close to the train station and bus station and at the same time just a short walk to the promenade.

• Yashasvi from India – 19 April 2025 (2/10)

  The location of property was good. The flat is nice and have all the amenities.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment caretaker Viktoria is very disrespectful towards the guests, and charged 500 euros for the security deposit while it was clearly mentioned in the booking that the security deposit is 200 euros. At the checkout, she targeted us with false allegations that more people than the number in booking stayed at the flat which is total lie. She was very rude towards the kids, and tried to threaten us by saying that she will call police on us when we asked for our deposit. There was nothing mentioned in the terms and conditions that the flat needs to be cleaned, and at the checkout, she told that the flat was very dirty nd charged 50 euros for the cleaning from security deposit.

• Silviu from Romania – 6 June 2023 (9/10)

  The hosts were amazing people and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The apartment is very well located, within walking distance of the busy city centre and its local restaurants and pubs, but not too close to them to be uncomfortably noisy. The railroad station is across from the apartment. There are some quick drop-off places for the people coming by car; if you are lucky, you could even get free parking on the street on the other side of the train station.
  The apartment is well stocked with everything you need, has three separate toilets, nice furniture and is well maintained. The stairway is also clean and seems secure.
  Overall, we loved our stay here.
  
  What could be improved: There are only two things we could mention on the negative side:
  1. The cleaning didn’t seem very well done. Some of our bedsheets had a sour smell.
  2. The floors looked clean at first sight, but we gave them one more mop since our 2-year-old would run barefoot, and the water came out very dirty.

• Lita from Thailand – 19 November 2022 (9/10)

  What could be improved: The real thing didn’t look like the photos at all. It was old.
