Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Cannes Vieux Port? It’s not trying to be something it isn’t. I mean, sure, it’s got that four-star polish, but when you’re standing on the little balcony looking out at the old port with all those classic fishing boats bobbing around, it feels authentically Cannes – not the glitzy festival version, but the one locals actually live in.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to feel like you’re staying in a real Mediterranean fishing village that just happens to be in one of France’s most famous resort towns. You’re right on Quai Saint-Pierre, which sounds fancy but it’s actually this charming waterfront street where you can grab your morning coffee at the little café downstairs and watch the fishermen sort their catch. The Palais des Festivals is maybe a ten-minute walk if you want the glamour, but honestly, I found myself spending way more time wandering the narrow streets of Le Suquet (that’s the old town climbing up the hill behind you) than bothering with the Croisette crowds.

What really sets this place apart – and I think this explains that 9.5 rating – is how they’ve managed to keep the character of an old port hotel while actually making everything work properly. The rooms aren’t huge (this is France, after all), but they’re thoughtfully designed with these lovely Provençal touches that don’t feel forced. The air conditioning actually works well, which you’ll appreciate in July and August when Cannes gets properly hot. The staff genuinely seems to know the area too, not just the tourist spots – they pointed me toward this incredible little wine bar on Rue Saint-Antoine that I never would’ve found otherwise.

I’ll be honest, parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this part of town, especially during the summer months, but the hotel works with a nearby garage and they’re pretty helpful about it. The one thing that surprised me was how quiet it stays at night – you’d think being right on the port would mean noise, but these old stone buildings are solid, and the harbor activity winds down early. Actually, the sound of the rigging clinking gently in the evening breeze is kind of lovely.

If you’re the type who wants to roll out of bed and onto a beach, this probably isn’t your spot – the nearest decent beach is a short walk away. But if you want to wake up, grab a pain au chocolat from the boulangerie around the corner, and feel like you’re discovering the Cannes that existed long before the film festival made it famous, then this is exactly where you want to be. The whole experience feels genuine in a way that’s getting harder to find along the Côte d’Azur.

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • Najla from Kuwait – 22 June 2024 (8/10)

    I liked the location of the apartment which was very central and overlooking the old port. The apartment has a spacious balcony.

    The A/C was good and the host was super responsive and friendly.

    What could be improved: The apartment is on the Third floor and the elevator is a one-person elevator, super tiny and is not suitable for those who are claustrophobic like me. It is also available after climbing one floor using the stairs.

  • Alexandra from United States – 27 May 2024 (10/10)

    Fabulous property. Amazing terrace with wonderful view. Sat outside all the time.

    What could be improved: Loved everything

  • Anja from Austria – 18 October 2023 (8/10)

    Amazing view and wonderful Livingston

    What could be improved: Bedrooms small and no closet in the room, elevator very small

  • Rachael from United Kingdom – 29 August 2022 (10/10)

    Great location, lovely terrace/view, well equipped

  • Victoria from United Kingdom – 15 August 2024 (10/10)

    Fantastic location with a stunning view of the port. We spent a lot of time out on the terrace.
    Spacious well equipped apartment with air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The host was excellent and communication regarding checking etc was easy. The apartment is surrounded by restaurants, minutes from beaches and close to a mini supermarket.

    What could be improved: The only thing that could be better is the bedding.

  • Charlotte from Norway – 30 June 2024 (10/10)

    Super beliggenhet og fin leilighet

    What could be improved: Vi skulle gjerne hatt enkelt dyner istedenfor dobbelt dyner på to av rommene

  • Patrico_sz from Poland – 29 April 2024 (10/10)

    widok z apartamentu jest boski. wielkość tarasu jak i salonu zachwyca. parking podziemny 200m od obiektu

    What could be improved: faktycznie winda jest malutka (ale jest :)) i zawsze można użyć schodów 🙂

  • Beate from Germany – 9 April 2023 (10/10)

    Die Wohnung entspricht den schönen Bildern. Sandrine war sehr freundlich und hat uns empfangen. Check in und Check Out absolut problemlos. Die Schlafzimmer und Bäder sind sehr klein, aber es ist alles da. Die Lage und der Ausblick sind fantastisch und alle waren begeistert. Wir waren zu viert hier. Der Aufzug ist sehr schmal und eng und wir haben die Treppen benutzt. Wir würden wieder hier übernachten. Wir waren 8x begeistert von den Sonnenaufgängen und haben sehr oft auf dem Balkon gesessen und uns sehr heimisch gefühlt.
