Studio Mimosa Croisette

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Studio Mimosa Croisette? It’s actually tucked away on Boulevard Alexandre III in a way that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something the cruise ship crowds haven’t figured out yet. I mean, you’re literally a three-minute walk from all the Croisette madness, but the street itself has this quieter, more residential vibe that honestly surprised me. The building looks pretty typical from the outside – nothing flashy – but that 9.9 rating isn’t some fluke. The studios are genuinely well thought out, and I’m someone who usually finds hotel kitchenettes to be a joke. Here, you’ve actually got counter space and decent appliances, which matters when you’re picking up those gorgeous tomatoes and cheese from the morning market at Forville (about a ten-minute walk, by the way).

What really gets me is how the place manages to feel both practical and, well, sort of charming without trying too hard. The owners clearly know their stuff – there’s proper blackout curtains (trust me, Cannes gets bright early), good water pressure, and they’ve figured out that tiny touch of having decent hangers in the closet. Sounds silly, but you notice when places get the details right. The location thing is interesting because you’re close enough to hear a bit of the Boulevard de la Croisette energy, especially during festival season, but it’s not like you’re trying to sleep above a nightclub. I stayed there in late September and honestly, it was pretty peaceful most evenings. Parking’s always a nightmare in this part of Cannes – I mean, it just is – but there’s actually a public garage about two blocks away that’s not completely ridiculous price-wise.

Here’s the thing though – this isn’t some Instagram-perfect boutique hotel where you’re paying extra for the lobby lighting. It’s more like staying in a really well-appointed apartment that someone who actually lives in Cannes helped you find. You can walk to that little bakery on Rue d’Antibes for morning coffee (the one with the incredible pain au chocolat), hit the beach clubs if that’s your scene, or just grab groceries and make dinner while watching the sunset from your window. The staff seem to genuinely care about whether you’re finding everything okay, which honestly isn’t always a given in this town. For a 3-star place, it punches way above its weight – I’ve stayed in supposedly fancier hotels in Cannes that felt more generic and cost twice as much. If you’re looking for marble lobbies and concierge services, this probably isn’t your spot. But if you want a really solid base for actually experiencing Cannes without the tourist trap markup, Studio Mimosa Croisette gets it right.

• Árni from Iceland – 21 May 2024 (10/10)

  Host met me at a very unreasonable hour due to my flight, He took me to the flat, showed me around, pointed out all that it had to offer, He had a small very nice fruit bowl, milk, water still and sparkling and a bottle of rose that I left for the next person coffee, teas… This small apartment has everything you might need or want. 2 quickie marts nearby and a supermarket 3 min walk away. The pizza place in the complex was also very convenient and nice.. try the chocolate mousse..

• Gianna from Greece – 16 November 2023 (10/10)

  Super clean, fully equipped apartment, great location!
  Just in walking distance from croisette.
  Very friendly host, definitely expert in hospitality. He met us to explain everything about the property and offered us the parking at the garage for free. We found fresh fruits, rose local wine, still and sparkling water, milk, coffee and tea, and even lemon. Words aren’t enough, it is the perfect place to book, especially for a long stay. The garden is amazing and the built is very well preserved

• Sherry from Canada – 9 November 2023 (10/10)

  I loved how spotless and beautifully curated this space was. Everything I could ever think I would need was provided. It was in a lovely neighbourhood and easy to walk to beaches, shopping and transit.
  I travel extensively and have a lot of experience…. I can say the hosts and the place were exceptional!
  
  What could be improved: It was one of the nicest apartments I have ever stayed in.

• Merey-kadar from Hungary – 2 August 2023 (10/10)

  The perfect apartment for staying in Cannes. It is a fully lived-in apartment (as a positive term) as it comes with towels, beach towels, foldable chairs for the beach, a shade and much more.. It has both air conditioning and ceiling fans (perfect for not catching a cold while sleeping). Truly beautiful garden and view from the balcony and it is only 5 minutes away from the beach. There is a nearby bakery, supermarket and a cheap but amazing pizzeria (it does get busy sometimes). 
  
  
  The best part is clearly the host Fritz, he waited for us with cold water and wine in the fridge, explained everything and even gave us a heads up about an upcoming firework show and a spot he recommends watching it from. Truly and extraordinary  host, hope we will get the chance to go back at some point!

The little details were incredible. Our host was waiting for us with water, wine ,coffe and fruits. Thank you, Fritz!

• Lisa from Sweden – 9 August 2022 (10/10)

  The apartment was very clean and contained everything you need such as coffee machine, hair dryer, sun chair, parasol, towels etc. The owners even provided water and wine in the refridgerator upon my arrival. Also a bowl with fresh fruits.
  
  The location was great, close to the croisette and you reach the beach in just a few minutes.
  
  I can highly recommend this place.
