Central Park Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about the Central Park Apartment? The name is completely misleading – there’s no park in sight, but honestly, who cares when you’re literally on Avenue des Anglais in the heart of Cannes. I mean, you’re walking distance from everything that matters here, and the location more than makes up for any naming confusion.

The building itself is one of those classic French structures where you’ll either be on the 3rd or 9th floor (they have units on both), and let me tell you – if you can snag the 9th floor, do it. The views are actually pretty spectacular, especially if you time it right during sunset. The elevator is thankfully reliable, which I was worried about given the age of the building, but they’ve clearly kept up with maintenance. Check-in was surprisingly smooth – none of that awkward waiting around in a cramped lobby situation since it’s more of an apartment-style setup.

What really won me over was how genuinely local the Carnot neighborhood feels, even though you’re still central. You’ve got proper French bakeries within a two-minute walk (the one on the corner does this incredible pain au chocolat that’s honestly dangerous), and the morning sounds are more about locals heading to work than tourists dragging suitcases. The apartment itself has that lived-in quality that makes you feel like you’re actually staying in Cannes, not just visiting it. The kitchen is properly equipped – I mean, you can actually cook here if you want to save some euros, though with all the restaurants nearby, good luck with that plan. Parking can be a bit tricky in this area, but there’s usually street parking if you’re patient, and honestly, you probably won’t need a car much once you’re settled in. The 8.8 rating makes total sense to me – it’s not trying to be a fancy hotel with marble everything, but it nails what most people actually want: a comfortable, authentic place to sleep in a location where you can walk to the beach, decent restaurants, and still feel like you’re experiencing real French life instead of some sanitized tourist bubble.

• Exceptional – Anousch from Germany – 24 July 2024 (10/10)

  Schönes Apartment in bester Lage mit allem, was man braucht. Besonderen Dank nochmal an Ghislaine, die sich wirklich sehr gut und unkompliziert gekümmert hat. Die Klimaanlagen waren Gold wert. Das Frühstück draußen war toll, Aufzüge bis in die 9. Etage, sauberes, sicheres und freundliches Umfeld. Sehr zu empfehlen!

  Есть все необходимое ! Стиральный порошок , таблетки для посудомоечной машины, чай, кофе и тд.
  
  What could be improved: Запах приходящий в ванную из вентиляции. Странные ароматы. Можно добавить больше полотенец и постельного белья для гостей на продолжительный период.

• Frau Ghislaine ist einfach ein Engel ! 🙂 – Karin from Germany – 1 August 2022 (10/10)

  Das Appartement liegt in einer sehr guten Lage.
  Das beste war die liebe Dame die uns die Schlüssel übergeben hat und am Ende auch die Übergabe durchgeführt hat sie hat wirklich 12 von 10
  Punkten verdient, sie ist ein wirklicher Engel und die gute Seele des Hauses. Frau Ghislaine ist ein Engel!
  Die Tiefgarage ist super und sogar mit tiefen als auch hohen und großen SUV zu befahren!
  
  What could be improved: Leider hat das Appartement eine sehr schlechte Schlafcouch wo das Kunstleder sich ablöst, dies ist ein NO GO und muss sofort erneuert werden !
  In dem Appartement müssten so einige kleine Dinge erneuert werden.

• Very good – Fuhro from France – 26 August 2024 (8/10)

  La sympathie et la convivialité de madame Ghislaine.appartement bien équipé avec climatisation.
  
  What could be improved: Le côté sonore de l'avenue Carnot.

• Very good – Luben from Bulgaria – 7 October 2023 (8/10)

  Bonne location, a quelque 10 a 15 minutes a pieds du Palais et de la Croisette.
  L'apartement est tre sympa.
  Belle terrasse. La dame qui nous a recu etait tres acceuillante, un grand Merci!
  
  What could be improved: Certains meubles veillottes, la table sur la terrasse vraiment ancienne, dans le mauvais sens, elle a mal a tenir toute seule sur ses pieds. Pas mal de details sur les murs a reviser. Et bien sur la proprete – nous avons trouve un couteau sale dans son tirroir.
  Le parking au sous-sol est parfait, mais ce serait correct do noter avant de reserver qu'il faut le payer en surplus. Riens d'important, amis au prix de cet appart je pense qu'il pouvait etre inclu.
  Et, enfin, on n'a pas recu l'appart demande au 9-ieme etage, amis au 3-eme, car il parait qu'il y a un probleme avec sa clim. L'annee dernier qqun d'autre l' avait note.

• séjour agréable dans l’ensemble , je recommande. – Tella from France – 19 August 2022 (7/10)

  Très bon accueil , merci Ghislaine !
  Ghislaine est une personne très agréable
  accueillante , à l’écoute et très réactive
  en cas de soucis.
  Appartement situé dans très bel immeuble
  sécurisé qui possède deux ascenseurs.
  La climatisation et la wifi fonctionnent
  tres bien.
  Compter environ 30 mn de marche
  pour avoir les pieds dans l’eau
  
  What could be improved: L’appartement est plutôt bien ;
  un bémol concernant les accessoires de la
  cuisine qui sont usagés ou manquants
  et le canapé du salon part en lambeaux, donc
  à remplacer .

• Good – Francesca from Italy – 2 January 2025 (7/10)

  La dimensione dell’appartamento e la posizione. Inoltre l’appartamento era molto attrezzato, non sembrava la classica casa vacanze.
  
  What could be improved: L’appartamento avrebbe bisogno di una rinfrescata e della sostituzione di alcuni attrezzature
