Plage du midi- Vue sur mer Standing Presta

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name “Plage du midi- Vue sur mer Standing Presta,” I thought someone had just mashed together every French hotel marketing term they could think of. But you know what? This little 3-star spot on Boulevard du Midi actually delivers on that promise, especially if you’re the type who’d rather wake up to actual sea views than stare at the back of another hotel.

The location is what really makes this place work. You’re literally across from Plage du Midi – not the fanciest stretch of Cannes beach, honestly, but that’s sort of the point. While everyone’s fighting for towel space down at the Carlton end, you can actually breathe here. The boulevard can get a bit noisy during the day (it’s a main road, after all), but by evening it settles down, and there’s something pretty magical about falling asleep to the sound of waves when you’re not paying Carlton prices. I mean, you’re still in Cannes, so it’s not exactly budget territory, but the 8.4 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re getting for a 3-star property.

What surprised me most was how the staff actually seemed to know the neighborhood – like, really know it. They pointed me toward this tiny boulangerie on Rue Louis Blanc that I never would’ve found otherwise, and when I mentioned wanting to avoid the Croisette crowds, they had solid suggestions for quieter spots along the coast. The rooms themselves are… well, they’re what you’d expect from a 3-star, but the sea-view ones (and make sure you specifically request this – not all rooms have it despite the name) really do make a difference. There’s something about watching the morning light hit the water that makes you forget about thread counts and marble bathrooms. The WiFi actually works, which honestly can’t be said for every place along this coast, and the shower pressure was surprisingly decent – those old French buildings can be hit or miss with that stuff. Parking’s going to be your usual Cannes headache, but they can point you toward some spots that won’t completely break the bank, and honestly, once you’re there, you can walk to most of what you’d want to see anyway.

Reviews

• Annabel from United Kingdom – 21 September 2022 (8/10)

  Location was a superb view – right across from the beach into the bay.
  Large airy apartment
  Superb bakery just 40 feet from the door which did salads as well as bread.
  Hosts sent a 'technician' out the next day when the water was not hot – a marginal improvement in time for it to come through from 15 minutes to about ten. Lots of water wasted.
  
  What could be improved: Noise from the trains behind and motorbikes on the road in front.
  Having to waste SO MUCH water until it eventually became warm enough to shower.
  Front door lock is very temperamental – sometimes it works first time, mostly it doesn't

• Jude from United Kingdom – 25 October 2024 (6/10)

  Location was fantastic – view from the balcony + comfy seats out there brilliant. Easy to walk to the Palais along the seafront (15 mins) and all our favourite cafes for breakfast and lunch nearby. Plus 5 mins to the old town. Perfect. Lounge + big table great and large comfy sofa appreciated! Boulangerie downstairs with delicious take-away coffee… Host very responsive and we offered to pay for a late check-out which was arranged.
  
  What could be improved: Bathroom was just ok – could do with an upgrade as could the kitchen but tbh we ate out all the time and grabbed coffee and breakfast downstairs. Aircon wasn't super effective – def needs an overhaul and everywhere re-painted but I'm sure this is done at the beginning of every season and it is the end! TBH, the view and the balcony and lounge where we were most the time meant we didn't really notice the other bits and bobs as they were so good!

• Mansour from Saudi Arabia – 13 October 2022 (1/10)

• Alexander from Netherlands – 12 April 2025 (9/10)

  Fijn appartement op een toplocatie met uitzicht op zee! Bakkerij onder het appartement voor een fijn ontbijt.
  
  What could be improved: Een aantal lampjes zijn aan reparatie toe.

• Silver from Germany – 5 January 2024 (8/10)

  Nachdem ich bereits das dritte Mal in dem Appartement war, war ich überrascht, dass alle notwendigen Reparaturen durchgeführt wurden, die Möbel, Lampen komplett neu waren – ist schön geworden.
  Der Balkon und der Meerblick ist einfach fantastisch.
  
  Der bewachte Parkplatz in der Lage ein absolutes PLUS
  
  What could be improved: Wer zum Meer hin schläft gut, das hintere Schlafzimmer liegt eben am Bahngleis und im Winter bei geschlossener Tür ok, aber im Sommer ab ca. 5h30 durch den Durchgangsverkehr doch eingeschränkt.

• Silver from Germany – 8 October 2022 (9/10)

  Traumhafte Sicht.
  Durch 5. Stockwerk hält sich der Straßenlärm in Grenzen.
  Bewachter Parkplatz ein Traum in Cannes Zentrum – ohne diesen Parkplatz wären wir nicht ein zweites Mal gekommen.
  Technische Ausstattung ok.
  
  What could be improved: Im hinteren Schlafzimmer können die Zuggeräusche nicht wegdiskutiert werden.
