Florella Croisette Apartment

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to Florella Croisette Apartment on Place Général de Gaulle, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in unassuming packages. This little spot sits right in the thick of Cannes’ action, and I mean *right* there – you’re basically a two-minute shuffle to La Croisette if you’re feeling fancy, or you can duck into one of those tiny side streets where locals actually grab their morning coffee (try the place on Rue Louis Blanc, trust me on this).

The thing about staying here is that you’re genuinely living like someone who actually lives in Cannes, not just visiting it. The apartment setup means you’ve got a proper kitchen – which honestly saved me a fortune because eating out every meal in Cannes will drain your wallet faster than you can say “festival season.” I actually loved wandering to the morning market at Marché Forville, maybe a seven-minute walk, and coming back to make breakfast while watching the city wake up. The soundproofing is pretty decent too, which matters because Place Général de Gaulle can get lively, especially when there’s something happening at the Palais des Festivals. Though honestly, the buzz kind of adds to the whole experience – you feel connected to the pulse of the city without being overwhelmed by it.

What really struck me is how the staff actually knows the neighborhood. When I asked about avoiding the tourist traps, they pointed me toward this incredible little bistro on Rue du Batéguier that I never would’ve found otherwise. The check-in was smooth (they’re pretty flexible about timing, which is clutch if you’re dealing with train delays from Nice), and the place itself has that lived-in comfort that makes you want to stay longer than planned. Sure, it’s not going to win any design awards – the décor is more “practical French apartment” than “Instagram darling” – but there’s something refreshing about a place that prioritizes function over flash. You’re steps away from both the glitzy Croisette scene and the actual Cannes where people live and work, and honestly, that balance is pretty hard to find. If you’re the type who wants to experience a city rather than just check boxes, this place gets it right.

Reviews

• Absolutely Fabulous – Stephen from Ireland – 25 July 2025 (10/10)

  Amazing!! Stay here if in Cannes

• A well located and spacious apartment – Anna from United Kingdom – 7 July 2025 (8/10)

  The apartment is in a fantastic central location — just minutes from the beach, restaurants, and shops. It was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay, which made it a comfortable base for exploring Cannes.
  
  What could be improved: Communication around check-in was frustrating. There was no reception at the property. Despite paying the deposit in advance, we didn’t receive check-in details until calling staff multiple times due to an issue with the link to pay city tax — while delayed and standing outside in the heat with our luggage. The upstairs shower was unusable due to a strong drain smell and water overflowing from the tray, which also affected the comfort of the adjoining bedroom. For a group of 8, having only one key was inconvenient.

• Exceptional – Sarah from United Kingdom – 5 June 2025 (10/10)

  the communication was not 100% and there was a very high deposit to pay – higher than I've paid for some 5 star properties in the past. but we got this back with no issues.

  location

  What could be improved: – Huge variation and difference between the two bedrooms apartments ( some are small / some are so good )
  – The pillows are really bad. I have seen this comment before and seems to be they didn't change. It is very small and uncomfortable.
  – Queen bed is actually two single beds. ( unfortunately ).
  – They don't provide simple things to make the stay better ( like slippers for bathroom use, extra tissues ).

• Superb – Paxton from United Kingdom – 11 July 2024 (9/10)
