Nemea Appart Hotel Cannes Palais

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to the Nemea Appart Hotel on Rue André Chaude, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The street itself is pretty quiet, tucked away in the Carnot neighborhood, which honestly turned out to be one of the best things about this place. You’re far enough from the chaos of La Croisette that you can actually sleep at night, but close enough that you can walk to the Palais des Festivals in maybe ten minutes if you take the shortcut through the little side streets.

The aparthotel concept really works here – I mean, having a kitchenette when you’re staying in Cannes is brilliant because, let’s face it, eating out for every meal gets expensive fast. The rooms feel more like small apartments than hotel rooms, which is perfect if you’re staying more than just a couple nights. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets in the evenings. The Carnot area doesn’t have the late-night bar scene that some other parts of Cannes do, so you actually get some decent sleep. The building itself has this sort of understated elegance – it’s not trying to be flashy like some of the palatial hotels closer to the beach, but the lobby has good lighting and the whole place feels well-maintained.

You know what surprised me? The staff actually knows the neighborhood. When I asked about where to grab coffee in the morning, they didn’t just point me toward the hotel breakfast – they told me about this little café two blocks over that opens early and has proper espresso. That kind of local knowledge makes a difference. The location is honestly ideal if you want to experience Cannes without being right in the tourist thick of things. You’re walking distance from both the train station and the old town (Le Suquet), and there’s a decent grocery store nearby if you want to stock up your little kitchen. Parking can be tricky in this area – like most of Cannes, really – but they can point you toward a public lot that’s not too far away. The 7.5 rating feels about right to me; it’s solid, comfortable, and practical without being extraordinary. It’s the kind of place where everything works the way it should, the Wi-Fi is reliable, and you don’t have any unpleasant surprises. If you’re looking for over-the-top luxury, this isn’t it, but if you want a genuine base for exploring Cannes that won’t break the bank and actually lets you live like a local for a few days, this place delivers.

Early hotels booking in Cannes is essential during major events like the Film Festival, as accommodations fill up quickly with visitors eager to experience the city’s renowned glamorous atmosphere and luxury shopping.

Reviews

• O'donnell from United Kingdom – 15 September 2024 (9/10)

  This Hotel is clean, located in a perfect part of the town and has very helpful and friendly staff

• Ian from United Kingdom – 28 July 2024 (9/10)

  The hotel gave us a free upgrade so our family had two connecting rooms and the rooms were lovely, so it was a great stay for us.
  
  What could be improved: Minor things, such as there being no eggs at breakfast even though we were there 25 minutes before the end, but we still enjoyed what there was.
  
  The lift to our room on the fourth floor of the annexe building was broken so carrying the cases was a slog. However they did give us a free days parking to compensate.

• Anniewyatt from Spain – 8 July 2024 (8/10)

  The bed was super comfy. We had been traveling all day and went to bed pretty early because we were tired, and we both had a really good night's sleep. I particularly enjoyed that it is pet friendly, our cats were safe and sound. Another thing was that the kitchen was a good size for a little space and we were able to prepare our own food. That is important to us as travellers because we cannot always get our dietary requirements in restaurants.
  
  What could be improved: I really enjoyed this hotel, but I would have liked for there to be some dishwashing liquid with a wiping cloth so that I could hand wash a few items. There was a dishwasher which was great though.

• Victoria from United Kingdom – 28 June 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Nil.

• Hafez from United States – 11 June 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Breakfast quality not great. Much better breakfast to be had in the neighborhood.

• Tony from France – 16 May 2024 (8/10)

  My stay was for one night only with a friend to attend a Cannes Film Festival event. The room was on the 6th floor with a faux balcon. It was spacious with a sofa and stylish armchair and coffee table with a kitchenette (with a breakfast bar without stools) that was well equipped. The bathroom was also very spacious enough to be a changing room. Breakfast was value-for-money for Cannes. There was a pool but I had no time to use it and a good courtyard. The receptionist was very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Very tiny shower gel and shampoo (one only). The TV was rigidly fixed to the wall without the possibility of plugging in an HDMI cable for my computer – perhaps not unreasonable for someone attending a film festival. On arrival I was informed my booking of a studio was treated as self catering that I must remove all rubbish. One's room key needs to be inserted in a box to activate the electrical power including the plugs. So the fridge is off when the card is removed. Not good. The phone in the room was not working and so the receptionist was unable to contact me to say someone was coming up to my room or to ask my permission. Perhaps it is also fair to say that my room number should not have been disclosed to the person, who was very manipulative, unhinged and not a friend, but was the phone working the receptionist might not have been compromised. Please make sure that your refund is returned before leaving.

• Pop from Romania – 17 April 2024 (8/10)

  Location and price
  
  What could be improved: We were a group and from mistake my friend booked accommodation next week. We called them and asked to change the weekend and they refuse. So they took money 2 times without any shame from them 2 nights.
  I was very disappointed.. this is not possible. We had 2 rooms 4 nights
