LES ALGUES T2

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about Les Algues T2 – it’s one of those places that grows on you once you figure out what it’s actually about. When I first pulled up to 94 Boulevard Eugène Gazagnaire, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from a 3-star spot in this part of Cannes. But here’s the thing about Pointe Croisette that most people don’t realize – you’re actually in this perfect sweet spot where you can walk to all the glitzy stuff on the Croisette (I mean, it’s literally a 10-minute stroll to the Palais des Festivals), but you’re not paying those insane beachfront prices or dealing with the constant tourist chaos right outside your window.

The hotel itself has this understated French apartment vibe – and I say that in a good way. The T2 rooms are basically studio apartments with separate sleeping areas, which honestly makes so much more sense than cramming everything into one tiny hotel room. You’ve got space to actually unpack, a little kitchenette that’s surprisingly useful (especially since eating out in Cannes every meal will destroy your budget), and windows that open to let in that Mediterranean breeze. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night – Boulevard Eugène Gazagnaire isn’t one of those streets where people are stumbling around at 3 AM after the clubs close. The staff was pretty solid too, though don’t expect them to hold your hand through every tourist question. They’re friendly but efficient in that French way where they assume you’re a competent adult who can figure out how to get to the beach.

You know what really sold me on this place? It’s the kind of spot where you can live like a local for a few days instead of just being another tourist checking boxes. There’s a proper French bakery about two blocks down that opens at 6:30 AM – the smell of fresh croissants drifting up the street is better than any wake-up call. The Marché Forville is close enough for morning market runs, and when you need a break from the Cannes scene, you can catch the bus to Antibes or Nice right from the neighborhood. Sure, it’s not going to blow your mind with fancy amenities or Instagram-worthy lobbies, but sometimes you just want a clean, comfortable base where you can drop your bags and explore without feeling like you’re staying in a tourist trap. The 7-point rating seems about right – it’s definitely above average for what you’re paying, especially if you book outside of festival season when half the city turns into a circus.

Reviews

• Kevin from United Kingdom – 19 March 2024 (9/10)

  Quiet area of Cannes very close to beach front. Good shower and shutters worked well to block out light.
  
  What could be improved: Initial instructions pointed to wrong apartment, but very quickly resolved. Apartment was perfect for my needs.

• Anonymous from United Kingdom – 27 May 2025 (2/10)

  The apartment is in a quiet safe area near to a beach, 20 min walk to croisette.
  
  What could be improved: The concierge extremely rude tv did not work throughout duration of stay WiFi for one 1 day, a number of excuses made including blaming me for it not working. No Bedroom shutters so lots of light coming through including mosquitos. Concierge promised compensation for inconvenience still waiting? Instead they have blocked me from all communication and booking.com has closed my file very disaapointing.

• Marlene from Germany – 24 May 2024 (8/10)

  Tolle Lage, super Ausstattung und Parkplätze
  
  What could be improved: Sauberkeit lässt zu wünschen übrig, Toilettenspülung defekt. Zu wenig Hygieneartikel
