In the hart of old Cannes – Place du Suquet – 2 Min Walking distance from Palais de Festivals and Beaches

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from a place with such a long-winded name, but this little spot on Rue du Suquet completely won me over. The location is honestly ridiculous – and I mean that in the best way possible. You’re literally perched up in Le Suquet, which is Cannes’ old quarter with those narrow cobblestone streets that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The building itself has that weathered Mediterranean charm where you can tell it’s seen decades of festival-goers and beach lovers come and go.

What really gets me is how they’ve managed to nail the sweet spot between authentic and comfortable. Sure, it’s a 3-star place, so don’t expect marble bathrooms or a concierge in white gloves, but honestly? The rooms are clean, the beds are actually decent (I’m picky about mattresses), and the whole vibe feels genuine rather than trying too hard. The best part is stepping out your door – you’re two minutes from the Palais des Festivals, which means during festival season you’ll hear the buzz of activity, but you’re tucked away enough that it doesn’t feel overwhelming. I mean, you can literally walk to the red carpet area faster than most people can get an Uber.

The walk down to the beaches is pretty much effortless too, though fair warning – coming back up those medieval streets after a long day in the sun will remind you that Le Suquet sits on a hill. But that’s exactly why the views are so good, especially if you snag a room facing the right direction. The neighborhood itself is where locals actually hang out, not just tourists. There’s this great little café right around the corner where I grabbed coffee each morning, and the evening light hitting those old stone buildings is something else. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle if you’re driving – the streets up here weren’t exactly designed for cars – but honestly, once you’re settled in, you won’t want to drive anywhere anyway. Everything worth seeing is either walkable or a quick hop on the local bus. For the price point and that 8.8 rating, it makes total sense – you’re getting authentic Cannes character without the premium hotel markup, and sometimes that’s exactly what a trip needs.

Early hotels booking in Cannes is essential during major events like the Film Festival, as accommodations fill up quickly with visitors eager to experience the city’s renowned glamorous atmosphere and luxury shopping.

Reviews

• Exceptional – Tautvydas from Lithuania – 27 July 2025 (10/10)

• A wonderful stay in a beautiful location. Thank you! – Alicia from United Kingdom – 2 October 2024 (9/10)

  Fabulous location, check in process very easy. Large double bedroom and bathroom with balcony. Comfortable and clean.
  
  What could be improved: Quite a climb up the stairs to reach the property and difficult to tell the difference between a light switch and a doorbell! Fine for us, but may be a challenge for some. The property is simply perfect for a couple, but as friends not sharing a room the loft with two single beds was unusable. You have to climb a drop down ladder and it really doesn’t feel safe or comfortable up there. Fortunately there is a comfortable sofa bed which we used but I would suggest the loft should not be listed as a bedroom.

• A fantastically-located apartment with everything you need for a short stay. Marjan was the perfect host – she met us on – Andrew from United Kingdom – 16 March 2023 (9/10)

  The apartment is amazingly located for the restaurants of the old town and has lovely views of Place Suquet and over the rooftops.
  
  What could be improved: Quite a lot of stairs to climb – it’s on the third floor. And the ladder to access the second bedroom requires some agility. The ceiling height of the second bedroom is very low too – best for children. We used the sofa bed in the living room, which was very comfortable.

• tres content – Guillaume from France – 22 August 2024 (10/10)

  la localisation de l’appart est idéale, quartier plein de charme et central. L’appartement est grand, propre et bien équipé, avec une super vue sur la place du Suquet et un super balcon pour prendre le petit déjeuner.
  
  What could be improved: ras

• Perfekte Wohnung für 1 Erwachsener (oder 1 Paar) mit 2 Teenagern – Blunier from Switzerland – 11 August 2024 (9/10)

  Perfekte Wohnung für 1 Erwachsener (oder 1 Paar) mit 2 Teenagern. Super Lage inmitten der Altstadt und trotzdem ruhig (kein Verkehr). Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe. In 7 min zu Fuss an der Plage du Midi (dieser Strand und das Wasser sind übrigens sauberer als die Croisette und es gibt dort mehr frei zugängliche Strandabschnitte).
  
  What could be improved: Nicht zu empfehlen für ältere Menschen und Kleinkinder, da etliche Treppen im Haus und 1 steile Treppe in der Wohnung (zu den 2 Einzelbetten) zu überwinden sind. Für uns war die Wohnung aber perfekt.

• Superb – Judith from France – 18 June 2024 (9/10)

  Emplacement idéal
  Quartier central mais appartement très calme
  
  What could be improved: 2eme chambre accessible par une échelle (mais ce n’est pas un problème)

  What could be improved: RIEN A SIGNALER

• Un grand merci à notre hôte qui nous a mis tout de suite à l'aise et s'est montrée très disponible. – Anne from France – 31 December 2022 (9/10)

  Appartement très agréable et bien équipé, placé idéalement dans le quartier du Suquet. Le petit balcon est très appréciable pour prendre son café au soleil !
  
  What could be improved: Les couchages dans la mezzanine sont à déconseiller aux enfants de moins de 8 ans, car l'échelle d'accès est raide.

• Bel appartement dans quartier typique – Olivier from France – 15 March 2025 (8/10)

  L’accueil du propriétaire par échanges de messages
  La situation dans ce vieux Cannes populaire et artistique
  La taille de l’appartement et les equipements
  Le calme
  
  What could be improved: Juste un point de vigilance la « deuxième » chambre est en mezzanine et on doit passer par la première chambre pour y accéder. Donc très bien pour une famille avec jeunes enfants car mezzanine bas de plafond et moins pratique pour deux collègues mais ça se fait bien aussi.
  Également, la salle de bain n’a pas de chauffage donc en temps hivernal c’est un peu dur après l’été ça sera assurément un plus.

• Superb – Vladimir from Serbia – 21 September 2023 (9/10)
