le suquet quartier historique

Hotel Description

You know what’s funny about le suquet quartier historique? The name basically tells you everything – it’s literally in Le Suquet, which is Cannes’ old town perched up on the hill, and honestly, that’s exactly why you’d want to stay here. I mean, most people think of Cannes and picture the glitzy Croisette with all those massive hotels, but this little 3-star gem sits right in the medieval heart of the city on Traverse de l’Église (that’s Church Crossing, if your French is rusty like mine was).

The location is actually incredible once you wrap your head around it. You’re walking distance from everything that matters – the Palais des Festivals is maybe a 10-minute stroll downhill, and the famous beaches are right there too. But here’s the thing that really got me: you’re staying in the part of Cannes that feels, well, French. Like genuinely French, not tourist-French. The narrow cobblestone streets around the hotel wind up toward the old church and castle ruins, and in the evenings you’ll hear actual locals having dinner conversations drifting from restaurant terraces, not just the usual tourist chatter. The 8.3 rating makes total sense when you consider you’re getting this authentic neighborhood experience without paying Croisette prices.

Now, I’ll be honest – it’s not going to blow you away with fancy amenities or lobby marble (it’s a 3-star, after all), but the charm is in the details. The building itself has that old Provençal character, and your room probably overlooks either the historic streets or maybe catches a glimpse of the Mediterranean if you’re lucky. The walk back uphill after a long day on the beach or at the festival palais is… well, it’s a walk uphill, let’s put it that way. But actually, I started looking forward to it because you pass these tiny local shops and cafés that you’d never find if you were staying down in the main tourist zone. There’s this little bakery about halfway up that does these incredible pain au chocolat in the morning – I’m getting distracted just thinking about it. The whole area gets pretty quiet at night too, which is perfect if you want to sleep without the street noise you get near the main drag. If you’re someone who likes feeling like you’ve discovered the “real” side of a famous place rather than just staying where everyone else does, this spot delivers on that completely.

  What could be improved: It suited my needs, but it might be a bit basic for someone who wants extra comfort.

  Great location, appartment in a quiet and picturesque street, historical building, close to Cannes Castle.
  
  What could be improved: Nice appartment but, looking at the price, a bit disappointing in the details: kitchenware very basic, no sharp knife, pots with scratches in the coating/surface, floormat in bathroom seemed not to have been cleaned.

• Poor – Maria from Sweden – 22 April 2025 (3/10)

  What could be improved: There was a smell of moisture and/or mold in the apartment that was quite significant and unpleasant.

• Im Grossen und Ganzen sehr gut – Sara from Switzerland – 21 August 2024 (8/10)

  Die Lage war schön in der kleinen Altstadt. Als die Klimaanlagen nicht mehr funktionierte kam die Gastgeberin innert 15min direkt zu uns, um sie zu reparieren. Kommunikation mit Gastgeberin unkompliziert und schnell. Die Wohnung hatte alles Nötige.
  
  What could be improved: Mit den Koffern war es ein wenig Mühsam all die Treppenstufen hochzusteigen bis zur Wohnung. Die Rückgabe der Schlüssel war ein wenig ungewohnt, da ich auf die Gastgeberin persönlich warten musste und sie nicht wie bei der Anreise in das kleine Kästchen mit dem Code legen konnte.
