Central Cannes Loft – 15 min Palais des Festivals

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in my share of Cannes apartments, and this loft on Rue Guy de Maupassant honestly surprised me. You know how some places look great online but feel cramped when you walk in? This isn’t one of those – the space actually breathes, with those high ceilings that make you feel like you’re not just squeezed into someone’s converted studio.

The location is what really sold me though. I mean, everyone talks about being “close to the Palais,” but fifteen minutes sounds longer than it actually is when you’re walking through the old neighborhoods. You pass these little bakeries that smell incredible at 7 AM (trust me on the pain au chocolat from the corner place), and honestly, the walk becomes part of the whole Cannes experience. Plus, you’re far enough from the festival chaos that you can actually sleep – during the film festival, that’s worth its weight in gold. The building itself sits on a pretty quiet street, though you’ll hear the occasional scooter buzzing by in the mornings, but that’s just Cannes being Cannes.

What I really appreciated were the small touches that show someone actually thought about how people live in a space, not just how it photographs. The kitchen has proper counter space (you’d be amazed how many vacation rentals mess this up), and there’s enough closet room that you’re not living out of a suitcase the whole time. The bathroom’s compact but well-designed – definitely better than some four-star hotels I’ve been in. And here’s something you won’t find in the typical hotel reviews: the Wi-Fi actually works reliably, which matters if you’re trying to upload photos or catch up on work between beach days. The whole place has this lived-in feel that’s comfortable without being shabby, if that makes sense. During peak season you’ll want to book early because places like this – actually livable spaces in decent neighborhoods – get snapped up quick by people who’ve figured out that staying right on the Croisette isn’t always the dream it’s cracked up to be.

Reviews

• Exceptional – Angelika from Ukraine – 27 July 2024 (10/10)

  We stayed at these apartments in Cannes and were extremely satisfied. Firstly, the cleanliness was impressive – everything was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The apartments were fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay, which made our experience very pleasant and convenient.
  
  The location was excellent – it was easy to reach the main attractions and the beach. A special highlight was the private garage, which was a huge plus since finding parking in Cannes can be quite challenging.
  
  We would also like to especially mention the host. She was incredibly friendly and always ready to help. Communication with her was easy, and it left us with only the most pleasant impressions.
  
  Overall, we had a wonderful time and can wholeheartedly recommend these apartments for a stay in Cannes.

• Tolle Wohnung an eine tollen Ort. – Lukas from Germany – 12 August 2024 (9/10)

  Die Gastgeberin ist sehr nett und die Kommunikation war tadellos.
  Die Wohnung ist sehr gut ausgestattet, die Betten sind bequem und es ist sauber.
  Wir würden diese Unterkunft wieder wählen.
  
  What could be improved: Da wir von Klimatisierten räumen verwöhnt sind, sind wir kräftigere Klimaanlagen gewöhnt.
  Das ist aber jammern auf ganz hohem Niveau.

• Ottimo, comodo come essere a casa propria – Valerio from Italy – 29 April 2024 (9/10)

  Bellissima esperienza, l'appartamento era comodo da raggiungere, corrette le indicazioni. La guest ci ha contattato prima e durante il nostro soggiorno mettendoci a disposizione tutte le info necessarie. Decisamente è stato un ottimo soggiorno e lo consiglierei a chi volesse vivere un esperienza a Cannes come se si fosse a casa propria. Pulito, ordinato con tutti i comfort e soprattutto centralissimo. Abbiamo apprezzato molto la disponibilità del garage che in una città come Cannes è molto difficile da trovare.
  Bravi complimenti, voto 10 e lode
  
  What could be improved: Nulla e andato tutto bene.

• Very good – Cristian from Italy – 16 April 2024 (8/10)

  Appartamento molto carino in ottima posizione per visitare il centro. Dispone di molte comodità e spazi adatti ad una famiglia
  
  What could be improved: La pulizia purtroppo ha lasciato molto a desiderare e il divano letto in soggiorno dovrebbe essere sistemato o cambiato perché molto rumoroso

  Eine gute und ruhige Lage inmitten der Stadt.
