Hôtel Ligure

Hotel Description

You know what? Hôtel Ligure isn’t going to blow you away with Instagram-worthy lobby shots, but honestly, that’s kind of the point. This little three-star sits right on Place de la Gare – literally facing the train station – which sounds terrible until you realize it’s actually brilliant. I mean, you step off the train from Nice or wherever, and boom, you’re already checking in. No dragging luggage through cobblestone streets or hunting for your hotel with a dead phone battery.

The location is what really makes this place work. Sure, you’ll hear some train noise, but it’s not like you’re here to sleep in anyway, right? You’re a five-minute walk from La Croisette and all those fancy beach clubs, but you’re paying about half what you’d shell out for a seafront room. The staff actually seems to care – they’ll give you proper directions to avoid the tourist traps on Rue d’Antibes and point you toward where locals grab coffee. The rooms are… well, they’re European three-star rooms. Clean, compact, decent shower pressure. Nothing fancy, but the air conditioning works (crucial in July), and the WiFi doesn’t cut out every ten minutes like some places I’ve stayed around here.

What I really appreciate is how it feels authentically Cannes without trying too hard. The building has that slightly worn French charm – you know, the kind where the elevator is tiny but has character, and the breakfast room overlooks a little square where you can watch the morning hustle. Speaking of breakfast, it’s simple but solid. Fresh croissants, decent coffee, nothing revolutionary but it gets you going. The whole vibe is refreshingly unpretentious in a city that can feel pretty show-offy. You’re not going to run into movie stars in the lobby during festival season, but you will meet actual travelers who chose substance over flash. Plus, and this matters more than you’d think, there’s a Monoprix basically next door for grabbing snacks, sunscreen, or whatever you forgot to pack. The 7.4 rating feels about right – it’s not going to be anyone’s dream hotel, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any nasty surprises.

Reviews

• Very good – Fatima from Australia – 28 May 2025 (8/10)

  I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Lights! The room was spotless and exceptionally clean, which made settling in very comfortable. One of the best things about this hotel is its location , just a short walk to the train station, shops, and the beach. Despite being in such a bustling area, the room was beautifully noise-proofed, allowing for a peaceful and restful night’s sleep. The service was also delightful, warm, professional, and always happy to help. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!

• excellent location – Milán from Hungary – 11 August 2024 (7/10)

  staff, and the bathtub was great. we had a beautiful breakfast and the bed was comfortable to sleep during the day and at the night as well. the location is super cool, near the beach, the center and the travel options.

• Nice – Iva from Slovenia – 19 September 2023 (8/10)

  The location of the hotel is perfect for train travellers and the main attractions are really close by (in a walking distance). The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was appropriate. The staff was really kind and the breakfast was tasty.
  
  What could be improved: Since the hotel is right next to the station, it can be hard to sleep with the window opened. The bathroom was quite small. There was something plastic under the sheet of bed. The breakfast could be better stocked.

• For the price and location you can’t say much but don’t get expectations high – Patrick from Ireland – 6 August 2023 (7/10)

  Location was good
  
  What could be improved: There was a buzzing noise from the air con . Very loud, hard to sleep with . Mentioned it to staff that didn’t really want to know about it .

• Great facilities, poor cleaning – Sanjana from India – 15 June 2023 (7/10)

  Hotel has a lot of good facilities, rooms are spacious, and the Executive Double Rooms have kitchenettes with utensils (don’t think the description mentions it).
  
  What could be improved: They don’t offer any room service and expect you to clean the property before checking out. Unclear instructions on what they mean by clean. Utensils provided in rooms were dusty, and the lobby looked unkempt. Seems like the hotel does not invest in cleaning. Room was clean though.

• Good clean hotel in a very convenient location. – Jamie from United Kingdom – 9 July 2025 (8/10)

  Good location right next to the main train station and a 5 minute walk from the beach, restaurants and shops. Super helpful staff on the front desk.
  
  What could be improved: Aircon could have been a little cooler – it was certainly effective, but just slightly cooler would have suited me.

• The hotel was overall good, but, to be honest, overpriced for the quality we received. – Smilyk from Ukraine – 7 March 2025 (7/10)

  It was clean
  
  What could be improved: Small room, bad view from the window, the light from the one side of the bed was broken. The breakfast had a little choice.

• Good – Thomas from Australia – 3 November 2024 (7/10)

  Location was excellent. Room was comfortable and clean . Staff were helpful and friendly.
  
  What could be improved: The room was smaller than what we saw on line.
  Bathroom was tiny and had to ask for the hot water to be turned on. They tended to this very promptly.

• Pleasant – Alice from United Kingdom – 5 October 2024 (6/10)

  Location
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast very basic

• If I will travel again to Cannes, I will increase the budget and choose a better hotel. – Gabriel from Romania – 30 September 2024 (6/10)

  Location is good, but there is no free parking around.
  
  What could be improved: I do not recommend taking the breakfast at the hotel, there is a small room with a few things (2 fruits, 3 croissants and coffee)
