Croisette 1 min palais des festival/ plages /FIF

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The name is basically a mouthful – Croisette 1 min palais des festival/ plages /FIF – but honestly, it’s dead accurate. I mean, you literally walk out the door on Rue des Belges and you’re practically bumping into festival-goers heading to the Palais des Festivals. During Cannes Film Festival season, I watched people in designer suits rushing past our window at all hours, which was actually pretty entertaining.

The location is honestly the star here. You’re right in that sweet spot where the main action happens but you’re not paying those insane Croisette hotel prices. The beaches are genuinely a minute away – I timed it because I’m that person – and you can grab your morning coffee at one of those tiny cafés on Rue d’Antibes before the crowds wake up. The building itself is classic Cannes, sort of that faded elegance thing that grows on you. It’s a solid 3-star, nothing fancy, but the rooms are clean and actually bigger than I expected for the city center. The AC works well too, which matters more than you’d think during those sweltering July days.

What I really appreciated was how the staff seemed to get that most guests are here for the location, not the amenities. They’re helpful without being pushy, and they know all the shortcuts around town. The woman at reception told me about this amazing little market on Rue Meynard that I never would’ve found otherwise. Parking can be tricky – well, it’s Cannes, so parking is always tricky – but there’s a public garage pretty close by. The noise level is surprisingly manageable considering you’re in the thick of everything. Sure, you’ll hear some street activity, but it dies down after midnight most nights (festival season is obviously different). The 8.7 rating makes total sense to me because this place delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. If you want to be steps from the beach, walking distance to all the restaurants and shops, and you don’t need a rooftop pool or marble bathrooms, this is actually a really smart choice. I’d definitely stay here again, especially during the quieter months when you can really enjoy having this prime location mostly to yourself.

Reviews

• Ferit from Turkey – 8 December 2024 (9/10)

  Karim was very hospitable. Superb location that is 1 minute away from Palais Des Festival.
  
  What could be improved: I wish it had elevator. Only when you arrive and leave, you need to be prepared to walk up 4 flights of steps.

• Uendi from Albania – 26 September 2024 (9/10)

  Great location!Staff was incredibly welcoming as well.🌟

• Cagri from Turkey – 22 August 2023 (9/10)

  Location was really perfect. One minute walk to beach and even half distance to main streets and restaurants. All houseware were functional and easy to use. Its very clean and super silence despite been very heart of city center.
  
  What could be improved: The distance between beach and the door from the apartment entrance is almost same :). Take care if you have heavy luggage since its in 4th floor . You will have 82 steps to climb to reach relax but dont worry you will forget since the location is very very good .

• Aurélie04 from Switzerland – 26 February 2024 (9/10)

  L'appartement est super bien situé, à même pas 5 minutes de la gare et juste en face du palais des festivals et de la mer. Il est au dernier étage d'un immeuble donc très silencieux pour dormir. La cuisine est parfaite pour se faire à manger pour un court séjour. Je recommande ce logement pour un séjour à Cannes.

• Vaimauri81 from Italy – 2 January 2024 (9/10)

  Posizione
  
  What could be improved: 4 piani senza ascensore

• Amel from France – 11 October 2023 (9/10)

  Au top rien à redire, super bien placé, apparemment mimi et agréable, et surtout un hôte qui vient vous accueillir à votre arrivée et vient vous voir pour votre départ, à l’écoute et agréable cela fait du bien
  
  What could be improved: Alors je ne vais pas dire ce que je n’aime pas mais un truc a améliorer, et de mettre une télé un peu plus grande dans la chambre, pour les personnes qui comme moi on une vision médiocre comme la mienne on n’a plus du mal à regarder le petit écran
