La Colline YourHostHelper

Hotel Description

You know what really struck me about La Colline YourHostHelper? It’s tucked away on this quiet little street – Rue Hibert – that most tourists completely miss, but you’re literally a three-minute walk from all the Cannes madness. I mean, you can practically hear the buzz from the Croisette, but when you duck into this place, it’s like finding a pocket of calm in the middle of everything.

The whole vibe here is refreshingly unpretentious for Cannes, honestly. It’s a solid 3-star that doesn’t try to be something it’s not, which I actually appreciate after dealing with some of those over-the-top places along the waterfront. The rooms are clean and comfortable – nothing fancy, but they’ve got character. Mine had this little balcony where I could see glimpses of the Mediterranean between the buildings, and there’s something really satisfying about sipping morning coffee while watching the city wake up below. The staff genuinely seems to care about helping you figure out the city, too. They pointed me toward this fantastic little bakery on Rue d’Antibes that I never would’ve found otherwise, and when I mentioned wanting to avoid the tourist traps, they actually drew me a little map of where locals go for drinks.

What really sells this place is the location without the location premium, if that makes sense. You’re close enough to walk to the Palais des Festivals in about eight minutes – I timed it during festival season when every street was packed – but far enough from the main drag that you’re not dealing with the noise and chaos at all hours. Plus, there’s actual parking nearby, which anyone who’s driven in Cannes will tell you is basically a miracle. The neighborhood has this lived-in feel with real shops and cafés mixed in with the tourist stuff. I spent half my mornings just wandering these little side streets, finding hidden courtyards and local spots that felt completely separate from the Cannes everyone sees in movies. And honestly, for an 8-rated hotel at this price point in this city? You’re getting way more value than you’d expect, especially if you’re the type who uses your hotel room for sleeping and showering rather than lounging around all day.

Reviews

• Excellent – Anton from Ukraine – 28 August 2022 (9/10)

  The apartment is really nice and comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: Checkin and checkout are automated. Not sure why there's a fee for late checkin.

• Within walking distance to the beach and town. A fun stay if you don’t mind noise from traffic. – Michael from United Kingdom – 8 July 2024 (7/10)

  We liked how the property was only a 5 min walk to the cleanest part of the beach and 10 min walk to the town centre. Was in the less “posh” end of Cannes away from the crowds.
  The main bedroom was spacious and had high ceilings.
  That there were two showers (although the overhead showers did not work in either only the hand held ones did).
  Was relatively modern. Had a coffee machine and a small, long balcony.
  They provided a welcome pack containing mini washing up liquid, sponge, 2 washing machine tablets, mini shampoo and shower gel.
  As they had no other guests the day of our check out they allowed us to check out 2 hours later than scheduled as we had an evening flight.
  The front of the property had natural light.
  The air conditioning was cool enough for us.
  5 minute walk to Aldi supermarket
  
  What could be improved: The key collection safe was a 22 minute walk from the property, or a 15 euro taxi ride, if you have your own car would not be a problem but we did not.
  The dishwasher was not working as the water did not drain we reported this to the agency and owner they said someone would come to fix it the next day but no one came. Then on complaining again the following day they sent someone to look at it but they did not fix it and it remained broken for the rest of our stay despite asking daily for it to be fixed or replaced.
  There was a lot of noise from the cars and buses on the street directly outside the apartment and on the main road that was the next street away starting from 5am and also from the bin men collecting the rubbish daily around 6am.
  There are no wardrobes in the property nor a full length mirror.
  Only some hooks in the hallway to hang clothes and a small rail with 3 hangers in the second bedroom.
  The second bedroom is very small it and would be too small for 2 people to move around in at the same time. However it was manageable for us as only our daughter slept in there. There is no
  external window.
  Some of the crockery was chipped.
  Probably not suitable for elderly or anyone with difficulty climbing stairs as is on the second floor of a narrow stair well and no lift. But was fine for us.

• Best accommodation choice, definitely a place to return to! – Razvan from Romania – 27 June 2025 (10/10)

  Excellent location, close to everything, beach, shops, restaurants, old town, market, very spacious, lovely balcony, equipped with all you should possibly need.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing at all

• facility was old and not value for money. – Anupam from United Arab Emirates – 14 August 2024 (4/10)

  Size of the apartment and proximity from beach
  
  What could be improved: key collection process, collected key approximately 2 Km away and at 4PM. we were tired, and it was very unpleasant experience. Kids room was dirty and three was see through from kids' upper bed it was kind of scary feeling for them, so they slept at our room. Building was very old and smelling like very old stuff. opening door was challenge.

• C'était super ! – Lisa from Switzerland – 28 April 2025 (9/10)

  L'emplacement est top, dans un endroit calme, à 2min de la mer, de divers commerces et à 10min à pied du centre.
  L'appartement est grand, bien équipé, propre.
  
  What could be improved: J'ai juste regretté qu'il n'y ait pas de micro-onde, alors que c'était dans la description … cela aurait été bien pratique.
  Rajouter quelques ustensiles de cuisine pourrait être bien, comme : des verres à eau (grands), une deuxième poêle, une deuxième planche à découper.

• Perfekter Kurzurlaub zwischen Stadt und Strand – Beate from Germany – 2 June 2024 (8/10)

  Die Lage ist perfekt. Die Wohnung ist hell, für 4 erwachsene Personen geräumig, da 3 Schlafräume und Balkon.
  Für einen 3-4tägigen Aufenthalt war die Ausstattung der Wohnküche wirklich gut. Für längeren Aufenthalt fehlen Schränke in den Zimmern.
  
  What could be improved: Die kleine Kammer mit Etagenbett hat zwar 3 Schlafmöglichkeiten, eignet sich aber nur für 1 Person, da sehr klein und nicht zu lüften.
  Die Kaffeemaschine (Kapseln) war etwas mühsam.

• Very good – Ivan from Italy – 28 April 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Non c’era il parcheggio.

• Très bon séjour , appartement très propre – Myriam from France – 21 July 2023 (9/10)

  Proche de la plage
  Très propre
  Bien climatisé

• Good – Daniela from Romania – 12 July 2023 (7/10)

  Daca doriti sa va cazati intr-un muzeu, daca va place sa simtiti pulsul orasului, apartamentul este alegerea perfecta!Apartamentul este dragut in sine, bine echipat!
  
  What could be improved: Cladire veche, accesibilitate grea cu bagaje, scara cladirii cam denivelata, fara lift, parcare greu de gasit pe strada sau in apropiere, se gaseste la pret suplimentar in zona. Tot la pret suplimentar este si check-in-ul, care este obligatoriu, altfel nu primesti instructiunile pentru accesul in cladire..Multa galagie noaptea!

• Very good – Delphine from France – 13 September 2022 (8/10)

  tres bien situé
  propre, rénovation récente
  
  What could be improved: stationnement compliqué
  manque une penderie et un miroir de plein pied
