Studio Elly

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked down Rue Meynadier looking for Studio Elly, I almost missed it completely. It’s tucked between a little café and one of those quintessential French pharmacies with the green cross, nothing flashy about the entrance at all. But you know what? That’s actually part of its charm. This isn’t some massive hotel trying to impress everyone walking by – it’s more like stumbling onto a well-kept local secret right in the heart of Cannes.

The thing about staying on Rue Meynadier is that you’re literally in the middle of everything without the insane tourist circus you get closer to the Palais des Festivals. I mean, you can walk to La Croisette in maybe eight minutes (I timed it), but you’re also surrounded by actual French life – real bakeries where locals grab their morning croissants, that amazing little wine shop that stays open until 10 PM, and honestly some of the best people-watching in the city. The street itself has this gentle buzz during the day, but it actually quiets down nicely in the evenings, which surprised me. I was expecting typical city center noise, but the rooms facing the courtyard are genuinely peaceful.

What really won me over about Studio Elly was how… unpretentious it felt? The staff actually remembered my name after the first day (okay, maybe because I kept asking about the best route to avoid the morning market crowds), and they had these genuine recommendations that weren’t just the obvious tourist spots. The rooms themselves are what you’d expect from a solid 3-star – clean, comfortable, with that efficient European design where everything has its place. The shower pressure was surprisingly good, and I loved that they had these heavy curtains that actually blocked out the morning light when you wanted to sleep in. Small thing, but it matters when you’re trying to recover from too much rosé the night before. The 8.4 rating makes total sense to me – it’s not trying to be the Ritz, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any weird surprises or disappointments.

Here’s the thing though – if you’re planning to visit during festival season or peak summer, book way ahead because places like this fill up fast with people who know Cannes well enough to avoid the overpriced spots right on the waterfront. And honestly? You’ll probably end up spending most of your time exploring the city anyway, so having a comfortable, well-located base like Studio Elly just makes everything easier.

• Ottimo ma potrebbe essere eccellente con pochi accorgimenti – Lara from Italy – 8 July 2024 (7/10)

  In pieno centro, connessione wifi ottima. Ci sono due letti accoppiati, quello vicino alla finestra ottimo, l'altro un po' meno. Aria condizionata perfettamente funzionante, ottima insonorizzazione. Mini lavatrice ottima in bagno. L'arredamento è molto carino e moderno. Vicinissimo al parcheggio a pagamento sotterraneo: pagato 70€ per una settimana prenotando il posto in anticipo sul sito del parcheggio (parking ferrage meynadier).
  
  What could be improved: È al quarto piano senza ascensore, con i bagagli e un bimbo (quindi passeggino e tutto il necessario) è poco comodo. Non ci sono asciuga piatti o similari per asciugare le stoviglie. Non abbiamo trovato i ricambi per i sacchetti della spazzatura e nemmeno qualcosa che ci informasse su come smaltirla. Nel frigo abbiamo trovato cose dei clienti precedenti. Abbiamo chiesto dove fosse la spiaggia privata tramite messaggio su booking e ci è stato risposto in modo non troppo gentile solo il nome della via senza indicazioni ulteriori. A colpo d'occhio l'appartamento è pulito ma riguardando meglio c'è molta polvere. Noi non siamo pignoli né pretenziosi e ci facciamo andare bene quasi tutto, ma questa è la realtà. Non dispongono di lettino da viaggio per bambini, ce lo siamo portato.
