Marechal Foch / GOLD2025 / ST

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from Hotel Marechal Foch when I first walked up to it – honestly, the name sounds more like a French military academy than a place you’d want to spend your vacation. But here’s the thing about this little three-star spot: it sits right on Rue Maréchal Foch, which means you’re literally a two-minute stroll from the Palais des Festivals and maybe three minutes from hitting the sand at Plage du Martinez. I mean, location-wise, you really can’t do much better in Cannes without dropping serious cash on one of those Carlton-level places.

The building itself has that classic French charm – you know, the kind with wrought-iron balconies and shutters that actually work. Check-in was surprisingly smooth (no endless forms or upselling, thank god), and the staff seemed genuinely helpful rather than going through the motions. My room was… well, it’s a 3-star in the center of Cannes, so don’t expect a sprawling suite, but it was clean and had everything I actually needed. The bed was comfortable enough, and honestly, the air conditioning worked better than some pricier places I’ve stayed. What I really appreciated was how quiet it got at night – I was worried about being so close to all the action, but the windows did their job blocking out most of the street noise from the late-night café crowd.

Here’s what I wish someone had told me before booking: parking is going to be a bit of a hunt unless you’re willing to pay for one of the nearby garages (which, let’s be real, you probably will be). But actually, that turned out to be fine because I ended up walking everywhere anyway. The morning routine became grabbing coffee from that little place on the corner – I think it’s called Café de la Paix – then wandering down toward the port to watch the ridiculous yachts roll in. The 7.7 rating makes sense to me; it’s not going to blow your mind with luxury, but it delivers exactly what you need without any major disappointments. If you’re the type who spends most of your time exploring rather than lounging in your room, and you want to be right in the thick of things without the boutique hotel price tag, this place actually hits the sweet spot. Just don’t expect a pool or fancy breakfast spread – but honestly, with the Mediterranean right there and all those patisseries within walking distance, who cares?

• Anonymous from Turkey – 11 September 2022 (7/10)

  konumu çok iyiydi. oda rahat ve kullanışlıydı.
  
  What could be improved: pencereleri açamadık çünkü restaurantların havalandırma boşluğuna denk geliodu pencere ve koku içeri giriodu. klima yoktu. 2 tane vantilatörle idare ettik ama yemek kokusu girmesin die kapalı olan pencereden dolayı vantilatör işe yaramadı. yastıklar inanılmaz yüksek ve kalındı. kahve makinesi yoktu.
