L’attique des Artistes YourHostHelper

Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from L’attique des Artistes when I first climbed those stairs on Rue d’Antibes – the name sounds a bit pretentious, right? But you know what, it actually lives up to the whole “artists’ attic” vibe in the best possible way. The place feels like someone converted their creative grandmother’s top-floor apartment into guest rooms, complete with quirky artwork and those slanted ceiling beams that make you duck in certain spots. It’s got this authentic bohemian charm that most places try way too hard to manufacture.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in Cannes rather than just visiting it. You’re right in the thick of things on Rue d’Antibes – I mean, you can literally walk to the Palais des Festivals in about ten minutes, and the beach is maybe seven minutes if you don’t get distracted by all the boutiques along the way. But here’s the thing locals know: this stretch of the street is far enough from the Croisette chaos that you can actually sleep at night, even during festival season. I stayed there in May (yeah, during that madness) and was shocked how quiet it got after 11 PM. The building has these thick old walls that seem to swallow sound, which is basically a miracle in this part of town.

What really got me was the attention to detail – and I don’t mean fancy stuff, just thoughtful touches that show someone actually cares. The hosts leave these handwritten notes about where to get the best coffee (there’s this tiny place on Rue Meynadier that only locals know about), and they’ve got this collection of art books scattered around that you can actually flip through without feeling like you’re in a museum. The rooms have this lived-in comfort that’s hard to fake – soft linens that have clearly been chosen for sleeping, not just Instagram photos, and windows that open wide enough to let in those pine-scented Mediterranean breezes. Sure, the shower in my room was a bit cramped, but honestly, when you’re spending most of your time exploring Cannes, who cares? Plus, that 9.7 rating isn’t just inflated review nonsense – I’ve stayed at plenty of three-star places that felt more like two-and-a-half, but this one punches way above its weight. The whole experience feels personal, like staying with friends who happen to have impeccable taste and know exactly how to make their city feel like home.

Hotels in Cannes offer guests the perfect blend of French Riviera elegance and modern comfort, with many featuring red carpet concierge services and private beach clubs to enhance the authentic glamorous French experience.

Reviews

• Wonderful apartment! – Boyanova from Bulgaria – 27 May 2025 (10/10)

  The location of the apartment is amazing! Definitely where you want to be, especially if it’s your first time in Cannes! The staff was very nice and allowed us to check-in earlier.
  
  What could be improved: The stairs to the 4th floor are a bit tough, especially if you have a lot of luggage. Anyway we had an amazing time and stay so we would definitely come back!

• Wonderful Stay WILL BE BACK! – Jan from United States – 9 May 2025 (10/10)

  The location was incredible definitely where you want to be! Very spacious apartment with wonderful kitchen and lounge area with A lot of natural light. Bathroom great size with double sinks and very comfortable for two people. Very nicely remodeled and decorated inside with modern amenities. Very quiet despite being in a populated area. I see a lot of comments in other reviews about the 4 flights of stairs and no elevator…we didn’t mind at all and found it a good way to get our steps in and a good “exercise”! Especially after eating at some pretty wonderful restaurants! We would definitely come back to Cannes AND would stay here again!

  Clean spacious apartment

• It was great stay in Cannes – Tanaka from Ireland – 24 September 2024 (10/10)

  It’s a beautiful place and is located in the the central of Cannes, everything is easily accessible
  
  What could be improved: 1. The property is on 4th floor and there is no elevators so it’s a hustle going up and down
  2. After I made my booking and payment I received many messages from unknown sources and almost got scammed an amount of €645

• Very enjoyable stay – Hoa from United States – 1 August 2024 (10/10)

  Location is ideal and apt is large and comfortable
  
  What could be improved: No elevator

• Wonderful stay in Cannes – Miranda from Netherlands – 25 May 2023 (9/10)

  Perfect location in het heart of Cannes in a beautiful building and the appartment is stunning. Very modern and luxurious.
  
  What could be improved: There is no lift in the building so be prepared to climb a few stairs. A bit of a challenge if you have a lot of luggage.

• Exceptional – Francisco from Spain – 3 November 2022 (10/10)

  Everything was excellent, much better than expected. The apartment is more luxurious and bigger than it looks like at pictures..
  
  What could be improved: There is no elevator…

• Very beautiful and modern apartment! – Ingrida from Lithuania – 6 July 2025 (10/10)

  Very beautiful and modern apartment, perfectly located in the city, with friendly staff.
  
  What could be improved: I was surprised to find small personal items left in the closets – tags, a sock, a broken hanger, and used slippers – as if left behind by previous guests. I had to clean everything myself. Also, the constant climbing to the fifth floor was quite tiring.

• Very good, but too high up without a lift access. – Sam from United Kingdom – 5 September 2022 (7/10)

  It was a really nice property, clean and location was perfect really.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is on the 4th floor with no lift. Its quite a considerable effort to get up to the apartment, if your not fit or old it wouldn’t be possible I don’t think. Some cold water when you first arrive would have been good doing that journey up the stairs.

• Passable – Shivani from India – 16 November 2022 (5/10)

  What could be improved: It was a pain taking stairs to fourth floor. No lift
