Studio André – Palais & plage, clim Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked up to Studio André – Palais & plage, clim, I’ll be honest — the building itself doesn’t scream “boutique hotel.” It’s tucked into a classic French apartment building on Rue du Commandant André, and you take the elevator up to the fourth floor. But here’s the thing about this three-star place: location absolutely trumps everything else. You’re literally in the beating heart of Cannes, and I mean that — step outside and you’re maybe a two-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals where all the film festival magic happens.

The Studio Setup

The room is essentially a well-designed studio apartment that actually works for couples (and the reviews back this up — couples rate this place really highly). There’s a proper kitchenette setup, which honestly saved me a fortune since eating out in Cannes every meal can get pretty expensive. The air conditioning — that’s what the “clim” in the name refers to — was a lifesaver during my July visit. I mean, Cannes gets seriously hot in summer, and having reliable AC in a building this old isn’t always a given.

Location Magic

You know what struck me most? The walk to La Croisette takes about three minutes, maybe four if you’re strolling. I’d grab coffee in the morning and be watching the sunrise over the Mediterranean before most tourists even figured out where they were going. The old port is right there too — you can actually hear the gentle clanking of the boat masts if you open the windows at night. And here’s a local tip: there’s a small market on Rue Meynadier (just around the corner) where you can grab fresh produce and local cheese for way less than the tourist spots.

Practical Perks

The building doesn’t have its own parking, but honestly, you don’t need a car here anyway. Everything’s walkable, and if you do drive in, there are public parking garages nearby — though they’re not cheap. What I really appreciated was how quiet the studio stays despite being so central. The windows face the street, but Rue du Commandant André isn’t a major thoroughfare, so you get the energy of downtown Cannes without the constant traffic noise. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly for my work calls, and the little touches like proper blackout curtains made a real difference for sleeping in.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a place with a fancy lobby or a concierge in a uniform — it’s more like borrowing a friend’s perfectly located pied-à-terre in Cannes. What you’re paying for is that incredible location score of 9.8, and trust me, it’s earned. When film festival season hits, people pay triple this rate just to be in the general area. You can walk to the beach, walk to the best restaurants, walk to the shopping on Rue d’Antibes — everything that makes Cannes special is right outside your door. For couples especially, there’s something pretty romantic about having your own little French studio in one of the world’s most glamorous cities, even if it’s just for a few nights.

Reviews of Studio André – Palais & plage, clim

• Simone from Italy – 10 February 2025 (8/10)

  La posizione é memorabile 20 metri dalla croisette cosa dire d’altro
  
  What could be improved: Troverei una soluzione per parcheggiare economica x gli avventori

• Svetlana from Belarus – 21 December 2024 (9/10)

• Marina from Kazakhstan – 28 October 2024 (9/10)

  Очень разумно и комфортно устроенная маленькая студия. Есть все необходимое для нескольких дней проживания. Фотографиям соответствует. Бесконтактное общение с вежливым консьержем.
  
  What could be improved: Квартира на последнем этаже, лестница довольно крутая, с большим багажом было бы сложно. Окна без плотных штор, много света рано утром.

• Daniela from France – 1 September 2024 (9/10)

  Perfect location so close to the beach, bars and center
  Definitely coming back soon

• Yurii from Ukraine – 20 August 2024 (8/10)

  Excellent location, there are many restaurants, shops nearby, the beaches are very close, good new appliances, the air conditioner saved us from the heat
  
  What could be improved: Cleanliness: when we arrived, all the cups and the sink were dirty, there was a lot of dust in certain places in the kitchen, a little dampness in the corner of the shower, the bed linen was in pellets, scale in the kettle. (I’m adding some photos, but they don’t show it as well as in real life)
  It may also be important to someone that there is no elevator, and the apartment is located at the very top of a 4-floor building

• Pilot from France – 16 August 2024 (9/10)

  Emplacement parfait, clim fonctionnel, cuisine fonctionne lit confortable

• Agne from France – 9 August 2024 (9/10)

  Très bien
  
  What could be improved: Rien

• Lala from France – 2 August 2024 (9/10)

  Studio exactement comme sur les photos.
  La douche peu spacieuse mais tout de même bien agencée.
  
  Emplacement parfait!!
  
  Et des petits attentions comme le café, thé et les accessoires de bain ont été appreciés.
  
  What could be improved: Dernier étage de l’immeuble sans ascenseur mais ce n’est qu’un detail

• Cla from France – 12 July 2024 (9/10)

  La localisation est parfaite, le studio est très bien équipé, la clim et la machine à lavé sont vraiment un plus.
  Le studio est très agréable et joliement décoré, plutôt spacieux grâce à la mezzanine.
  Très bonne communication avec l'hôte, très disponible pour nous guider à l'arrivée.
  La boîte a clé est très appréciable.
  
  What could be improved: L' espace commun ( l'entrée et cage d'escalier) a rafraîchir, je me doute que cela relève plus de la co propriété, mais n'est pas représentatif du studio.

• Livia from Romania – 24 May 2024 (9/10)

  Locatia centrala, excelenta, 5 min de mers pe jos pana la
  Palatul Festivalului de Film, toate dotarie, spatios. Apartamentul fiind la ultimul etaj, are o scara interioara care permitea accesul la zona unde este patul dublu f confirtabil. Un plus il constituie si canapeauna care este extensibila, astfel incat, acest apartament eate util si pentru 4 persoane sau o familie cu 2 copii. Desi apartamentul este intr-o zona activa aproape nonstop, odata inchise geamurie, e liniste deplina, nu se mai aude deloc zgomotul stradal.
