Grand Studio Cannes Centre

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Grand Studio Cannes Centre? The name makes it sound like some massive place, but it’s actually this intimate little gem tucked right on Rue Georges Clemenceau – and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work so well. I mean, you’re literally a three-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals, but you’re not dealing with the chaos of staying right on the Croisette where tour buses idle outside your window at 7 AM.

The location is sort of perfect if you think about it. Clemenceau is one of those streets that locals actually use – there’s a decent bakery two doors down where you can grab proper croissants without paying festival prices, and you’re close enough to the old port that you can wander over for dinner without calling a taxi. The studios themselves have this clean, unfussy vibe that I actually prefer to some of the fancier places along the waterfront. Sure, you’re not getting marble bathrooms or champagne service, but the beds are comfortable, the AC works (crucial in summer, trust me), and everything feels fresh and well-maintained. The kitchenettes are small but functional – I managed to make coffee and keep wine chilled, which is really all you need when you’re spending most of your time exploring the city anyway.

What really sold me on this place was how quiet it gets at night, even during the film festival madness. Clemenceau isn’t a party street, so you can actually sleep, but step outside and you’re immediately in the thick of things. The staff seemed to know their stuff too – they directed me to this little wine bar on Rue Meynadier that I never would have found otherwise, and when I mentioned I was trying to avoid the tourist traps, they actually gave me honest recommendations instead of the usual rehearsed spiel. Parking can be tricky (it’s Cannes, what do you expect?), but there’s a public garage about a block away, and honestly, once you’re settled in, you won’t need your car much. The whole city center is walkable, and the train station is close enough that you can easily hop over to Nice or Monaco for day trips. It’s not luxury, but it’s smart – like staying with a savvy friend who knows the city well enough to put you exactly where you need to be without the unnecessary frills.

• Fleur from United Kingdom – 15 November 2022 (9/10)

  I loved everything about this apartment, I can't recommend it enough. Nataliya was incredibly helpful and always responsive – giving amazing reccomendations for restaurants and activities. The balcony had a gorgeous view, the bed was really comfy, the kitchen was well equipped and the toilet/shower was really clean. There is netflix provided, free wifi and a really helpful manual that Nataliya had kindly put together. She even left a complimentary bottle of wine – which was yummy!! 11/10!!

• Cormac from United Kingdom – 6 August 2022 (9/10)

  The small touches went a long way . Extremely clean .

• Dermot from Ireland – 14 July 2022 (9/10)

  Ideal location for those visiting Cannes but with the intent of leaving the car at home – it is 3 mins from the beach, 4 mins to Aldi, 10 mins to the market and every type of restaurant you can need. The host could not have been nicer pointing out both attractions but also events that were happening during our stay – stuff we would have missed without her great advice. All in all an excellent experience – we'll be back next time we are in Cannes.

• Chad from United States – 18 October 2024 (9/10)

  Location – amazing
  
  What could be improved: Sofa bed uncomfortable
