Situation et vue exceptionnelles 338L ROLL

Hotel Description

Okay, so the name “Situation et vue exceptionnelles 338L ROLL” is honestly a mouthful, but they’re not kidding about that view part. This little 3-star spot sits right on Boulevard Clémenceau – and I mean, you can’t get more central in Cannes than this. When I first walked up to number 69, I was expecting some touristy mediocrity, but honestly? The location hit me right away. You’re literally steps from the Palais des Festivals, and the Croisette is just a quick stroll down the hill.

What really got me was the elevator situation – you take the one on the right (hence “asc droite” in the name), and when those doors open on the upper floors, you understand why they lead with “vue exceptionnelles.” The Mediterranean stretches out in front of you, and depending on which way your room faces, you might catch the port activity or the sweep toward the Îles de Lérins. The building itself has that classic French Riviera feel – not fancy, but solid and unpretentious. You know what’s great? The noise level is surprisingly manageable for being so central. I expected constant street sounds, but the height actually buffers most of the Boulevard Clémenceau traffic.

The rooms themselves are pretty straightforward – this isn’t luxury territory, but everything works and feels clean. What I appreciated was how the space felt authentically Cannes without trying too hard. The windows are the real star here (again, that view), and if you’re visiting during festival season or summer, you’ll want to book way ahead because locals know about this place. Parking is… well, it’s Cannes city center, so good luck with that. But honestly, once you’re here, you can walk to the beaches, the shopping on Rue d’Antibes, and all the restaurants tucked into the side streets. I found myself grabbing coffee at the little café on the corner most mornings – the owner definitely recognized the hotel guests and had that easy French friendliness down pat. The whole area has this lived-in feel that’s different from the more polished hotel strips. You’re staying where people actually live and work, not just where tourists land, and that makes all the difference when you want to feel like you’re experiencing real Cannes rather than just visiting it.
