Hypercentre – 5mn croisette – Palais – Plage – CF

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about this place – when I first saw the name “Hypercentre – 5mn croisette – Palais – Plage – CF,” I thought someone had a meltdown on their keyboard. But honestly? That mess of a name actually tells you everything you need to know about why this little 3-star gem works so well.

The location is genuinely ridiculous in the best way possible. You’re literally on Rue Pasteur, which means you can stumble out the front door and hit the Croisette in about five minutes if you walk at a normal pace (three if you’re rushing to catch sunset). I mean, you’re basically in the beating heart of Cannes without paying those insane beachfront prices. The Palais des Festivals is right there – during festival season, you’ll probably bump into someone important grabbing coffee at the corner café, though let’s be real, you might not recognize them without the red carpet lighting. What I love is that you get that authentic Cannes neighborhood feel on Rue Pasteur. There’s actually a fantastic little boulangerie about thirty seconds away that locals hit up every morning, and the guy behind the counter will remember your order after day two.

The hotel itself feels more like a well-maintained apartment building than your typical tourist trap – which is exactly what you want in this part of France. The rooms are clean and functional without trying too hard to be Instagram-worthy, and honestly, who cares when you’re spending most of your time exploring anyway? The 8.2 rating makes total sense once you realize what you’re getting: solid basics, zero pretension, and staff who actually know the area. They’ll tell you which beach clubs are worth the splurge and which ones are just expensive sand. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare around here (welcome to Cannes), but you’re so central that you really don’t need a car once you’re settled. The neighborhood gets pleasantly quiet after the dinner crowd disperses, though during festival weeks all bets are off – but honestly, if you’re in Cannes during festival season and expecting peaceful sleep, you’re doing it wrong anyway. One thing I really appreciated was how quickly you can hop between the fancy tourist stuff and actual French life. You’ll grab your morning coffee with locals heading to work, then fifteen minutes later you’re walking past mega-yachts that cost more than most people’s houses. It’s that weird Cannes magic where real life and complete absurdity exist side by side, and this place puts you right in the middle of it all.

Reviews

• Sinead from Ireland – 10 February 2025 (8/10)

  Good location, good value for money, nicely decorated, lovely balcony to sit out on, good self catering facilities
  
  What could be improved: Second bedroom a little small, not great for a couple but good for single person

• Emma from United Kingdom – 14 November 2024 (8/10)

  Location was AMAZING, very easy check in check out, the BATH was divine I literally would come back just for that. Beds comfy.
  
  What could be improved: It absolutely STANK of cigarette smoke, even the bed sheets. And we smoke but NEVER inside. So if you aren’t a smoker you would not have been able to stand it I don’t think. It was also extremely cold, the air con just didn’t work. Cheap lumpy pillows.

• Caroline from France – 26 August 2024 (8/10)

  Emplacement proche Croisette top

• Virginie from France – 22 October 2024 (8/10)

  La situation entre rue d’Antibes et Croisette

• Svetlana from Kazakhstan – 11 October 2024 (8/10)

  Было все необходимое для хорошего проживания , стиральная и сушильная машина , что было очень удобно . Не все варианты размещения предлагают сушильную машину. Удобный балкон , современный дизайн квартиры. Новый духовой шкаф тоже был в отличном состоянии .
  
  What could be improved: Не было мыла для рук , в ванной был только гель для душа . Не было таблеток для посудомоечной машины, поэтому мыли посуду без них. Ну и самая большая засада это то что в одной спальне не было жалюзей , поэтому ночью было светло как днем из за уличных фонарей , штор тоже нет , заснуть было невозможно . Ну и конечно квартира довольно подуставшая , отваливается штукатурка и в целом требует ремонта .

  Die Lage ist perfekt
  
  What could be improved: Die Wohnung ist extrem verschimmelt und dreckig. Ich frage mich woher diese guten Bewertungen kommen.
  Zudem lagen überall Haare auf dem Boden und in der Dusche!
  
  Es hat extrem nach Rauch gerochen und der Boden war klebrig, dreckig und die Küchen Utensilien haben nach kotze gestunken. Es war der schlimmste Aufenthalt den ich je hatte. Bevor wir eine schöne Zeit verbringen konnten, mussten wir die Unterkunft erst einmal reinigen! Zwischen den Fugen waren richtige Schmutz Einlagerungen.
  
  Als krönender Abschluss wurden mir noch Kosten für Beschädigungen in Höhe von ca. 270 in Rechnung gestellt, da anscheinend die Küche beschädigt wurde. Diese wurde nicht einmal genutzt!
