Hotel Description
Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Le Carnot, I wasn’t expecting much from the name alone (seriously, what’s with that hashtag-heavy title?). But this little 3-star spot on Boulevard Carnot actually surprised me in the best way. You know how some places just feel right the moment you walk in? This was one of those. The lobby’s got this understated French charm – nothing fancy, but clean lines and that particular smell of fresh linens and coffee that somehow screams “you’re in France now.”
What really sold me on this place was the location, honestly. Boulevard Carnot isn’t one of those touristy streets where you’re dodging selfie sticks every five seconds, but you’re still only about a ten-minute walk to the Palais des Festivals – I timed it. The neighborhood has this lived-in feel where you’ll see actual Cannois grabbing their morning croissants, not just cruise ship tourists. My room faced the boulevard, and while there’s some traffic noise (it’s a main street, after all), it dies down nicely after 10 PM. The air conditioning actually works – and I mean really works, not that half-hearted European AC you sometimes get. During my stay in July, that was honestly a lifesaver.
The rooms themselves are what you’d expect from a solid 3-star – nothing Instagram-worthy, but everything you need is there and it’s all in good shape. The Wi-Fi is legitimately fast (I was working remotely part of the time), and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. I mean, I’ve stayed in fancier places with worse sleep quality, so that’s saying something. The shower has proper water pressure too, which – let’s be real – isn’t always a given in older European buildings. Staff at check-in spoke decent English, though they seemed genuinely happy when I attempted my terrible French. There’s no on-site parking, but there’s a public lot about three blocks away on Rue Jean Jaurès that’s not too expensive by Cannes standards. Walking back with luggage isn’t ideal, but it’s manageable. What I really appreciated was how quiet the place gets at night – you’re close enough to the action that you can walk to dinner on Rue d’Antibes or catch late drinks near the port, but far enough from the absolute chaos of La Croisette that you can actually sleep. That 8.1 rating makes sense to me – it’s the kind of place that does the basics really well without trying to be something it’s not.

Reviews
Adequate – Roy from United Kingdom – 19 June 2024 (7/10)
Apartment was clean and modern.
What could be improved: No bed, but uncomfortable pull out sofa bed. The main problem was the lack of cleaning in the building. I complained about something quite serious, but at no stage did anyone bother to attend to it. A lack of careExceptional – Mary from Hungary – 26 April 2024 (10/10)
The apartment was clean. I liked the shower. The host responded to my questions promptly. The host permitted me to make use of the food/ingredients in the kitchen and this was a big bonus for me. Lastly, I wasn't bothered by the host while I was there. I had a pleasant stay. Merci beaucoup.
Tranquilla ottima visuale vicinissima al centro molto comoda – Ciro from Italy – 2 June 2024 (9/10)
Tutto
What could be improved: NienteTrès bien – Coutat from France – 21 April 2025 (8/10)
La place de parking en sous-terrain, la facilité à récupérer les clefs, la propreté des draps et des serviettes de bain, la localisation du studio
What could be improved: J’avais réservé pour 3 personnes, pour deux adultes et un enfant. Mais, il n’y avait qu’un drap double, une couette et deux oreillers. Nous avons dû nous débrouiller pour le lit du petit… Le canapé lit n’est pas très confortable.Fena değil – Erdinc from Turkey – 16 September 2024 (8/10)
Konum çok iyiydi, kahve makinası olması iyi
What could be improved: Yatak hiç rahat değildiTutto molto piacevole (ma letto scomodo) – Farhad from Italy – 20 July 2024 (8/10)

What could be improved: Il letto (divano letto) era abbastanza scomodo, sarebbe da cambiare con qualcosa di piú confortevoleGood – Monica from Italy – 4 October 2024 (7/10)
La posizione
Il parcheggio interno
Gli utensili della cucina
What could be improved: Il “divano letto” è semplicemente un divano, è scomodo
C’era un cattivo odore che usciva dal lavandino del bagnoAgréable et commode – Pauline from France – 3 September 2024 (8/10)
Bon emplacement, appartement spacieux et propre et parking sécurisé.
What could be improved: Canapé lit pour 2, confort correct mais 3e couchage très inconfortable (dur). Passe pour une nuit mais séjour entier compliqué. Idéal pour 2.Agréable de jour, literie à revoir – Catherine from France – 18 June 2024 (7/10)
Grand studio agréable, propre et calme avec beaucoup d'ustensiles de cuisine. Salle de douche élégante et fonctionnelle. Récupération des clés facile, dans une boite à clés.
What could be improved: La literie! Il n'y a pas de lit mais un canapé (plus ou moins convertible) qui n'a pas de matelas mais, une fois déplié (par nos soins et non sans mal), nous permet de dormir sur les coussins du canapé, inconfortables. Le lit d'appoint est aussi un fauteuil qui se déplie et n'est pas plus confortable. Il y a bien une place de garage mais l'annonce devrait préciser qu'elle n'est pas accessible aux véhicules de plus de 1m70 (et que les places alentours sont toutes payantes dès 8h).👍❤️ – Fehil from France – 1 June 2025 (10/10)

What could be improved: 👍❤️
