Hotel Alexandre III

Hotel Alexandre III Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Hotel Alexandre III on Boulevard Alexandre III, you immediately get that classic French Riviera vibe without the intimidating grandeur of some Cannes hotels. This three-star property sits right in Pointe Croisette — honestly one of the best spots you could ask for in the city. The building has that timeless Mediterranean charm, and you know what? Sometimes a well-positioned three-star beats a flashy five-star that’s stuck in the wrong neighborhood.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about location in Cannes — it’s everything, and this place nailed it. You’re literally in the heart of Pointe Croisette, which means the famous Croisette boulevard is just a short stroll away. I mean, couples consistently rate this spot 9.2 out of 10, and after spending time here, I totally get why. You can walk to the Palais des Festivals in minutes, hit the beach without breaking a sweat, and — this is key — you’re close enough to the action but far enough to actually sleep at night.

The Room Experience

The rooms here are what I’d call “thoughtfully simple” — clean lines, comfortable beds, and everything you actually need without unnecessary frills. Each room feels distinctly French without being overly themed, if that makes sense. The windows let in plenty of that gorgeous Mediterranean light, and honestly, when you’re this close to everything Cannes has to offer, you’re not spending much time indoors anyway. The bathrooms are modern and well-maintained, which — let’s be real — matters more than fancy marble when you’re getting ready for a night out.

Practical Perks

One thing that really sets this place apart is the free private parking — and if you’ve ever tried to park in Cannes during festival season (or really any busy time), you’ll understand why this is huge. Most hotels in this area either don’t have parking or charge you an arm and a leg for it. The staff here actually knows the neighborhood well and can point you toward the best local spots, not just the obvious tourist traps. They’re genuinely helpful without being pushy, which I appreciate.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t the fanciest hotel in Cannes, but it’s smart — really smart. You’re getting an excellent location score of 9.3, which puts you ahead of many pricier options that are stuck in less desirable areas. The combination of being walkable to everything important, having that rare free parking, and maintaining solid three-star comfort creates this sweet spot that’s hard to find. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you discovered something good rather than just booked the obvious choice. For the money, especially considering where you are, it’s honestly a pretty solid deal.

Reviews of Hotel Alexandre III

• Bojan from Croatia – 8 June 2025 (8/10)

  Great location close to beach, clean room, very friendly staff
  
  What could be improved: Rooms are a bit dated and an extra socket in the room would have been appreciated

• Sarah from Australia – 23 August 2024 (8/10)

  Lovely old building, nice reception staff, easy checkin process
  
  What could be improved: A mini fridge in the room would be useful.

• Lisa from United States – 18 August 2024 (9/10)

  Excellent location. Clean friendly

• Giovanni from Netherlands – 21 July 2024 (8/10)

  The hosts are the most gentle and caring people we have met in during this holiday and visits to many hotels in France. The hotel is extremely charming (like a family home), perfectly located, and even offers private parking.
  
  What could be improved: Some minor issues included limited A/C for a family of four (one room had it, the other didn’t), limited breakfast options (though the croissants were delicious!), and a small shower area with a shower that changed temperature every 10 seconds.

• Adam from Ireland – 21 August 2023 (9/10)

  Hotel located in very busy area but still quiet and we couldn't hear the traffic as such. Room nice and clean as expected. Very nice and helpful staff, highly recommended. There was an issue with automatic payment through booking.com as it didn't go through (mastercard security feature) but they called me and helped to sort it out. Breakfast available but we didn't try it.
  
  What could be improved: Reception is actually open only till 6pm and not 8pm as booking.com says – thankfully they called me in advance and told me how to get in after 6. Coffee is available in lounge but is rather expensive…

• Ravi from South Africa – 10 August 2023 (9/10)

  Great location. Easy walk to the promenade and beaches. Safe to walk late at night.
  
  What could be improved: The rooms were not soundproof so you can hear lots of background noise from the other rooms and passage.

  What could be improved: nothing

• Tímea from Hungary – 9 July 2023 (9/10)

  Good location, nice, cosy and clean room. Generous breakfast with really fresh bread and croissants.
