IMMOGROOM – Beautiful duplex – Sea view – Quiet – AC – Wifi – Garage

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name “IMMOGROOM” I had no idea what to expect, but this duplex apartment completely surprised me in the best way. You’re literally four minutes from the Palais des Festivals (I timed it), right on Rue de la Castre in the heart of old Cannes, but somehow it feels like you’ve escaped all the chaos. The building itself is tucked into this quiet pocket where you actually hear birds in the morning instead of just car horns and cruise ship announcements.

The duplex setup works really well – you’ve got your living space downstairs with these huge windows that frame the Mediterranean perfectly, and I mean, the sea view isn’t just some tiny sliver you have to crane your neck to see. It’s properly there, especially from the upper level where the bedroom is. The AC is a godsend during those sticky July afternoons when even the locals are hiding indoors, and the wifi actually works consistently (which, you know what, isn’t always a given in these older Cannes buildings). What really sold me though was the garage – finding parking in this part of town is basically a blood sport during festival season, so having your own spot feels almost luxurious. Plus you’re not dealing with those narrow medieval streets trying to find somewhere to dump your rental car.

The area itself is perfect if you want to feel like you’re in real Cannes rather than tourist Cannes. You’ve got the Marché Forville just down the hill for actual groceries and those incredible flowers, and honestly, some of the best people-watching happens right outside your door as folks head up to Le Suquet. The Castre Museum is practically next door – not exactly a must-see, but nice for a quiet hour when the beaches get overwhelming. And here’s something the guidebooks don’t tell you: this street stays remarkably calm even during the festival madness because it doesn’t really lead anywhere except up to the old town, so you get all the benefits of being central without the constant foot traffic. The 7.6 rating feels about right – it’s not going to blow your mind with luxury touches, but everything works, it’s clean, and the location honestly makes up for any minor quirks. I’d definitely come back, especially knowing I can actually park and still walk to dinner on the Croisette without breaking a sweat.

Reviews

• Very good – Jeremy from United States – 31 July 2024 (8/10)

  Located in the historic Le Suquet district of Cannes, way up on the hill, and an easy walk (downhill from property) to the Rue de Suquet which has many restaurants. Convenient to the Vieux Port terminals which go to Nice, St Tropez, Monaco, and the Lerins Islands. The key dropbox is an easy walk from the property, but if you're driving, it may be complicated to get the keys (there is a parking garage nearby the keybox I suggest going directly to it). The property itself is fairly well appointed and spacious with a full garage spot that easily fit our BMW Series 2 crossover (four doors with hatchback). The apartment is quiet at night even with a lot of tourists still roaming the area. The master bedroom is spacious with two single beds pushed together, and there is a second bedroom with a camp bed and a single bed. There are two shower areas, but one smaller bathroom. The upstairs living and dining area is spacious with panoramic windows. The nearby Place de la Castre provides fantastic instagrammable views of the city at the iconic "CANNES" sign.
  
  There is a nearby mini-mart on Rue de Pre that opens early in the morning for all your needs, and a 24 hour automat at Expressmarket on Place Bernard Cornut Gentille.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is located in a pedestrian district that is gated by bollards that raise and lower. There is no automatic device provided to open/close the gates. Exiting is not a problem, the gates open when you approach them and pause. However, entering requires speaking to someone (in French), and providing enough information that they will know that there is a garage waiting for you on the other side to park your car in (street parking is generally prohibited for non-commercial vehicles, except short periods). The first time that I tried entering the district I was unable to adequately communicate, and the entrance gate is in a tight area with a lot of traffic from tourist buses and the "little train," so panic rapidly set in for me. We were able to enter by drafting a vehicle ahead of us, but I wouldn't recommend this practice since those bollards can do a lot of damage to a vehicle when they raise. Later attempts to enter were simple when I specifically said there was a garage at the address we were staying at.

• Very good – Coleman from Ireland – 19 October 2022 (8/10)

  The apartment is very spacious and modern and is well equipped. There is a stunning view from theliving room area. The bed was very comfortable and there is plenty of towels. The location was fabulous. I was working at the Palais so was about 15 mins with alot of steps as it is on a big hill! Very central to Cannes but very quiet and peaceful.
  
  What could be improved: The 2 flights of stairs trying to manage with suitcase was hard. Also the stairwell entrance would be difficult with children. Check out was not clear ie leave keys behind however had to bring key to lock the door. And told to empty bins but nowhere to leave them so had to bring black bin
  Bags with us to agency.

• relaxing time in Cannes at a great house in a great location. – Andrew from United States – 12 August 2022 (8/10)

  incredible location perfectly situated with a water view.
  
  What could be improved: During check in there was no mention of the street barriers to arrive at the house. this proved very frustrating for us. also, instructions for the television and wifi would be helpful.

  What could be improved: only 1 toilet. Needs minor fixing on walls

• Urlaub mit Freunden – Micz99 from Austria – 24 August 2023 (7/10)

  Die Lage war ausgezeichnet. Das Appartment liegt sehr ruhig in einer Fußgängerzone am Hügel. Um die Ecke, eine Gasse weiter, gibt es zahlreiche Restaurants, sowie einen kleinen Supermarkt, der das Nötigste führt. Das Appartment ist sehr großzügig geschnitten und in allen Räumen mit Klimaanlagen ausgestattet. Der Parkplatz in der hauseigenen Garage kann gleichzeitig auch als Eingang genutzt werden.
  Der Blick aus dem Wohnzimmerfenster ist schön. Auch der Fernseher bietet mit Netflix ein gutes Unterhaltungsprogramm für schlechtes Wetter. Das Badezimmer des Masterbedrooms ist mit Regendusche und die Schlafräume mit ausreichend Ablagemöglichkeiten ausgestattet. In der Küche gibt es genug Besteck, Teller, Gläser und Tassen, sowie einen großen Kühlschrank. In wenigen Minuten, den Hügel hinunter, ist man auch am Plage du Midi. Was besonders für dieses Appartment spricht: Lage! Lage! Lage!
  
  What could be improved: In der Beschreibung des Quartiers wird darauf vergessen, zu sagen dass das Appartment in der Fußgängerzone am Hügel liegt. Für jede Einfahrt muss man an der Säule läuten und auf französisch dem Herren dort sagen, dass man ein Appartment in der Fußgängerzone gemietet hat. Der Satz wird zumindest von IMMOGROOM bereits zu Verfügung gestellt. Allerdings kann das für nicht französisch sprechende Gäste zur Herausforderung werden, es wird kein Englisch gesprochen. Doch man kann den Satz irgendwann auswendig. Der Empfang war etwas schwierig, da die ganze Zeit von einer Schlüsselübergabe via Schlüsselbox gesprochen wurde. Nach Anrufen und Nachrichten bei IMMOGROOM stellte sich dann heraus, dass doch jemand die Schlüssel persönlich vorbei bringt. Die Übergabe war dann sehr nett und problemlos, allerdings wären ein paar genauere Informationen zum Appartment (z.B.: bezüglich Mistkübel zur Mistentsorgung, Ein- und Ausfahrtszeiten,…) in dem Kuvert noch nett gewesen. Für Leute die nicht gut zu Fuß sind könnten die vielen Stiegen (von der Garage zur Appartmenttüre, von der Appartmenttüre in die Schlafzimmer und von dort hinauf in das Wohnzimmer) schwer sein. Das Appartment war ausreichend geputzt, bis auf ein vergessenes Pflaster in der großen Dusche. Wir haben keinen Besen oder andere Putzmittel gefunden, allerdings gibt es einen Staubsaugerschlauch zum Anstecken (wie in Amerika).
  ACHTUNG: Die Schlafzimmer sind nur durch Vorhänge voneinander getrennt! Das geht aus den Bildern nicht hervor! Daher sind die Zimmer auch nicht schallisoliert. (Man bekommt das Schnarchen aus dem Nebenzimmer, oder auch andere Aktivitäten ganz genau mit!) Auch die Türe zum WC könnte etwas schalldichter sein. In der Küche gibt es fast keine Kochuntensilien (1 Topf und 1 Pfanne) und nur einen rostigen Flaschenöffner. Leider fanden wir auch schmutziges Besteck in der Besteckschublade, das haben wir dann schnell gewaschen und gut wars. Geschirrspültabs und Mistsäcke waren auch keine vorhanden.

• Notre séjour à Cannes – Maryana from France – 14 August 2023 (7/10)

  Notre séjour c’est passé plutôt bien, même si nous avons eu quelques soucis techniques.
  
  Les « + » :
  L’appartement est vraiment très spacieux et bien équipé
  Un garage fermé était parfait, on a pu même charger notre voiture
  L’appartement se trouve dans une vieux ville, endroit très touristique et très sympa
  Une belle plage de sable à 10 minutes à pied
  
  What could be improved: Nous avons eu des problèmes de la plomberie (le robinet de la douche n’a pas fonctionné, remplacé par le propriétaire 2 jours plus tard ; l'évacuation de l'eau dans la douche etait bouchée, le probleme résolu 2 jours après; certains jours nous n’avons pas eu de l’eau chaude)
  
  Lave-vaisselle est très vieux
  
  L’appartement se trouve à la hauteur, il faut monter pour rentrer, ce qui est parfois fatigant

• Soggiorno a Cannes luglio 2023 – Hong from Italy – 10 July 2023 (8/10)

  Appartamento, vista mare luminoso con un soggiorno living molto ampia in zona traffico limiitato in centro storico. Aria condizionata in tutte le stanze .La comodità del parcheggio in garage sotto l' appartamento.
  Lenzuole pulite , asciugamani e prodotti per il bagno di buona qualità. Presenza di asciugacapelli e lavatrice con sciugatrice inclusa.
  Eravamo nella zona più alta di Cannes intorno alle mura con panorama esterno a 360 gradi vista sul porto e su tutta costa ..
  Consigliato
  
  What could be improved: Peccato aver trovato un po' polvere sui mobili ,pochi utensili da cucina come poche pentole senza coperchi ….
  Un solo mazzo di chiavi del appartamento .
  L ' appartamento bello nel complesso dalle grandi potenzialità ma non rifinito bene .con piccoli accorgimenti potrebbe essere una bellissima struttura
  Nel complesso un buon soggiorno piacevole e rilassante.
