Hotel Cannes Croisette

Hotel Description

You know what? Hotel Cannes Croisette isn’t going to blow you away with luxury, but there’s something honestly charming about this place that gets under your skin. I mean, when you’re walking down Rue Bivouac Napoléon – and yes, it’s actually named after Napoleon’s old military camp here – you almost miss the entrance because it’s tucked between these typical Cannes buildings with their cream-colored facades and green shutters. But that’s sort of the point.

The thing about staying here is you’re literally in the thick of everything without paying Croisette prices. You can walk to the Palais des Festivals in about eight minutes (I’ve timed it), and honestly, you’ll probably end up taking that route every day because it cuts right through the heart of the old town. The hotel itself feels like it belongs in the neighborhood – the lobby’s got this lived-in elegance with dark wood and brass fixtures that have clearly been polished a thousand times. The staff actually remembers your name after the first day, which is refreshing when you’re used to those massive chain places where you’re just another room number. Check-in is usually pretty smooth, though during festival season (you’ll know because the whole city goes slightly mad), things can get a bit hectic.

The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid three-star – clean, comfortable beds, decent-sized bathrooms, and those particular French windows that open onto tiny balconies or courtyard views. Some rooms face the street, which means you’ll hear a bit of evening chatter from people walking to dinner, but it’s not the kind of noise that keeps you awake. Actually, there’s something kind of nice about falling asleep to the sound of Cannes winding down for the night. The air conditioning works well enough for those sticky Mediterranean summers, and the WiFi is reliable – important if you’re trying to make dinner reservations at places like La Petite Maison (which is about a ten-minute walk, by the way). Parking can be tricky since you’re in the city center, but there’s a public garage on Rue du Commandant André that most locals use. The hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant, but honestly, with places like Aux Bons Enfants just around the corner serving the kind of bouillabaisse that makes you understand why people move to the south of France, you’re not exactly suffering. What I really appreciate is how the location lets you experience Cannes like someone who lives here – you’ll find yourself picking up pastries from the boulangerie on Boulevard de la République for breakfast, or grabbing a coffee at one of those tiny cafés where the barista knows everyone’s order. It’s not perfect, but it’s real, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need when you want to feel like you’re visiting a place rather than just passing through it.

Reviews

• Conseils from France – 31 January 2025 (8/10)

  very central and efficient choice in terms of quality and price. Staff was happy and very helpful. Cleaning staff was very nice and always accommodating.
  
  What could be improved: rooms are a bit small and some like mine have side windows on the rear part of the building with few natural light coming in.

• Miguel from Switzerland – 9 August 2024 (7/10)

• Simon from United Kingdom – 17 September 2023 (7/10)

  What could be improved: The room was in an apartment not actually in the hotel but 50m away. Breakfast was pretty average.

• Oliver from United Kingdom – 11 April 2023 (6/10)

  bed was comfy, room was clean and tidy, bathroom was new and shower was very good (as long as you don’t like cold, which I don’t)
  
  What could be improved: the receptionist on duty when checking in was quite rude, and annoying, but he done the job I guess (beware photocopies of passports and credit cards are required when checking in), the ‘terrace/balcony was horrible, Tiny, and seat and whole floor area covered in bird poo, with the birds sitting above… breakfast was a joke, was barely anything to eat, not even an egg or any meats, or anything hot, just some cereal and yogurt, and bread, 1 small cup of cheap orange juice. if you don’t require a balcony or breakfast, the place is very good…

• Lorraine from United Kingdom – 29 September 2022 (8/10)

  Location excellent. Breakfast poor for the money.
  
  What could be improved: Selection at breakfast.

• Angela from Spain – 28 September 2022 (7/10)

  the location is excellent.
  
  What could be improved: I had someone come into my room in the middle of the night as the night manager gave the incorrect details to another person’s room card. That made me feel very uncomfortable.

• Susan from United Kingdom – 1 November 2024 (8/10)

  Warm welcome. Excellent location between station and sea. Nice shower room. Lots of good late opening restaurants near (we arrived at 10pm).
  
  What could be improved: Room quite small for two people. Extractor fans outside noisy during night.

• Defne from Turkey – 18 September 2024 (7/10)

  They had elevator. Offered breakfast buffet. Great location. Kind front desk receptionist.
  
  What could be improved: Room was too small but still enough. Next time I will book a bigger room. No kettle.

• Mathieu from France – 29 July 2024 (6/10)

  What could be improved: The air conditioner was not working and the staff couldn’t do anything about it
