Centre studio plage et festival

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to Centre studio plage et festival on Rue Lycklama, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the unassuming spots surprise you the most. This little studio hotel sits right in the heart of the Prado-République area, and I mean *right* in it – you’re literally a few minutes’ walk from the beach and close enough to hear the festival buzz during Cannes season (which, depending on your tolerance for crowds, is either fantastic or something to plan around).

The location is actually pretty brilliant once you get your bearings. Rue Lycklama is one of those quiet residential streets that locals use as a shortcut, so you’re not dealing with the tourist chaos of La Croisette, but you can still walk there in about ten minutes. I loved that I could grab fresh bread from the boulangerie around the corner in the morning – there’s something about that warm croissant smell drifting through the neighborhood that just makes you feel like you’re doing Cannes right. The studios themselves are compact but thoughtfully laid out (I mean, it’s Cannes, space is premium everywhere), and honestly, the 8 out of 10 rating makes sense. The place is clean, the wifi actually works, and the staff seems to genuinely care about making sure you’re sorted.

What really won me over was how the hotel balances that festival energy with actual livability. During the film festival madness, you’re close enough to feel the excitement but far enough from the main drag that you can actually sleep at night. The Prado area has this wonderful mix of regular Cannes life – families heading to school, people walking their dogs, that kind of thing – mixed with just enough glamour to remind you where you are. Plus, and this is key if you’re planning to stay during festival season, the prices here don’t go completely insane like some places closer to the Palais. I’d definitely recommend booking early though, especially if you’re coming in May or during any of the other festivals – this isn’t exactly a secret spot, and the combination of decent rates and solid location means it fills up fast. Just be prepared for the neighborhood to get a bit more energetic during events, but honestly, isn’t that part of why you came to Cannes in the first place?

Reviews

  Location and design, and the host is very very nice and flexible
  
  What could be improved: Sofabed is very uncomfortable for multiple nights stand, place is very little since the bathroom is huge in comparison, i thought it has a balcony by the photos but it has not (my mistake that i didnt look closer).

• Very nice – Dave from Netherlands – 25 September 2023 (9/10)

  Very nice host with good commication, very close to the station. Perfect place to discover Cannes. Tip: take the tunnel under the railway station for the fastest way to the center.

• Superb – Alenka from Ukraine – 9 August 2023 (9/10)

  Super location, nice and helpful host, close to the Railway station. Recommend this place. Next time stay here again.

• Cute tiny appartement that has everything you need. – Layana from Sweden – 29 July 2025 (9/10)

  I like the location very much even though I as a woman was a little nervös to go alone in the evenings, my friends walked me home daily. The facilities in the appartement were complete. Kitchenette & bathroom had everything you needed even make up remover pads, small and big towels, even shampoo and conditioner. The bathroom is very nice, seems new and clean. The sofa bed was easy to open and it was comfy to sleep in it. It is quite small but enough for me since i was alone. You could hang your clothes even with hangers 🙂 and I loved how they placed small little paper hearts everywhere, really cute detail. The host was very quick in responding and check in was very easy.
  
  What could be improved: The elevator is tiny, i got unfortunately stuck for 10 min or so, i called the number and they were quick to service.

• Good – Elika from Germany – 2 September 2024 (7/10)

  The location was good 10 minutes walk to the city center. Very good responsive host.
  
  What could be improved: I travelled alone for work and as I walked back to the apartment at around 22:30-23:00 strange people where standing around and mentioned different words. As it is mentioned in the description there is not bed just bed-sofa, which was comfortable but there were no blanket available just a very small sofa blanket and to be fair I did not ask the host but I am sure if you ask you will get it. In the apartment around 3-4 clock in the morning was a lot of noise in the hallway maybe because of other tourists whom were leaving or coming early in the morning.

• Fab – Sarah from United Kingdom – 25 June 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: NA

• Confortable – Paulo from Portugal – 31 July 2023 (10/10)

  Great location, hardly could be better. Very new, modern and nice apartment. Great to stay on if you want to be near the main points in Cannes

• Good value for money, would recommend – Sára from Czech Republic – 18 July 2023 (10/10)

  The location is walkable to the city centre as well as to the beach. It seems brand new. The apartment is just enough for two people, you find there everything you might need. The host is super nice.
  
  What could be improved: There is a very very small elevator, but at least there is one, haha.
