Hotel des Victoires – Restaurant

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Hotel des Victoires? It’s actually tucked away on Avenue Francis Tonner, which honestly most tourists never even notice – they’re all rushing toward the Croisette or getting lost in the old town maze. But that’s exactly what makes this place work. You’re literally a five-minute walk from all the Cannes madness, yet when you step outside in the morning, you’re on this quiet residential street where actual French people walk their dogs and grab coffee at the corner café. The hotel itself has that slightly worn-in charm that three-star places do when they’re family-run and actually care – I mean, sure, the lobby isn’t going to wow your Instagram followers, but the woman at reception remembered my name by day two and gave me the real scoop on where to eat (spoiler: not the tourist traps near the Palais).

The restaurant downstairs is honestly where this place shines. I’ll be straight with you – I almost skipped it the first night because hotel restaurants can be hit or miss, but locals were actually eating there, which is always a good sign. Turns out they do this incredible bouillabaisse that’s better than what I had at some fancy place on the Croisette for twice the price. The dining room gets this warm golden light in the evenings, and you can hear the gentle clatter of real conversation instead of people posing for photos. Rooms are… well, they’re European three-star rooms, which means clean and functional but don’t expect a huge bathroom or brand-new everything. The air conditioning actually works though (crucial in summer), and the beds are surprisingly comfortable. I stayed on the third floor and could hear a bit of street noise in the mornings, but nothing that kept me awake – just the pleasant sounds of a neighborhood waking up.

Here’s the thing about this place – it sits in that sweet spot where you feel like you’re staying somewhere authentic without sacrificing comfort. The 8.3 rating makes perfect sense because it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. Parking can be a bit tricky since you’re in a residential area, but there’s a public lot about two blocks away, and honestly, you won’t need your car much once you’re settled. During festival season, this location is actually genius because you avoid the insane crowds right on the waterfront but you’re still close enough to walk to everything. I found myself coming back to the restaurant bar most evenings just to decompress – they make a solid gin and tonic and the bartender, Philippe, knows his local wines. It’s the kind of place where you might actually end up chatting with other travelers instead of everyone buried in their phones. If you want authentic Cannes without the tourist markup and you don’t need marble bathrooms and doormen, Hotel des Victoires gets it right.

Reviews

• Bora from United Kingdom – 8 May 2025 (7/10)

  The rooms was clean. There is a free parking.
  
  What could be improved: There is no hair dryer in the rooms. In this era a bit weird.
  
  And there is only one towel for shower no hair towel. And towels are looking very poor.
  
  There is no toilet paper hanger in the room. When you are sitting on the toilet to turn back and take the toilet paper can hurt you its very hard.
  
  The breakfast : It could be good if you have some tomatoes and cucumber , cheese and olives.

• Andrea from Hungary – 7 May 2025 (9/10)

  Nice hotel next to Cannes airport. It is not noisy because big planes do not land or take off from here. Drive to Cannes center takes about 10 minutes. The hotel has a big parking lot but the places are too narrow. The staff is nice and helpful. Breakfast was alright. The room was spacious with a nice bathroom.
  
  What could be improved: All was OK.

• Noriko from France – 19 April 2025 (9/10)

  The location is amazing. Parking is easy to park and security. Check out is until 12:00! That’s really useful.

• Madhumanti from France – 26 February 2025 (9/10)

  The rooms were very big and comfortable with lots of spaces. Free parking.
  
  What could be improved: The toilette was smelly, the price was a bit higher given that it was february and outside weekend, far from the city.

• Anastasia from Bulgaria – 17 February 2025 (9/10)

  We were passing by Cannes by car and needed to sleep overnight – the hotel met our expectations perfectly, immaculate cleanliness, 24h reception, super swift check-in/out process, and the parking had plenty of spaces , secured by cameras and a barrier.

• Elisabeth from Luxembourg – 2 January 2025 (8/10)

  The room was spacious and clean. It looks like the property was recently renovated. It doesn’t seem sexy from outside but inside it is nice. The breakfast is good too! The Ukrainian receptionist was very kind and attentive. The water quality in the shower and tap is good too (not everywhere in Cannes the water is sweet). The specious parking lot, many facilities are nearby. Various international tv channels. The AC that is essential for the winter time in Cannes worked properly.
  
  What could be improved: The toilet door handle in the room 210 needs to be checked, I am afraid it is broken. We didn’t like the windows much as they seemed to have holes on top so one can hear everything that is happening outside. My partner had a difficulty to fall asleep as the camper nearby was having a party till 3 am. And the toilet seat is sort of broken as well.
