StudioCalifornia-Parking-Plages 15 min walk

Hotel Description

You know what, I wasn’t expecting much from a studio apartment tucked away in La Californie – I mean, the name literally has “parking” in it, which should tell you something about priorities here. But honestly? This little place on Avenue du Roi Albert 1er surprised me. It’s one of those spots that looks pretty ordinary from the street, but once you’re inside, you realize someone actually thought about what travelers need. The studio itself is compact but clever – everything has its place, and there’s this nice natural light that comes through in the mornings. The bed’s comfortable enough (I’m picky about mattresses), and the kitchenette actually works, which is more than I can say for some places I’ve stayed in Cannes.

Here’s the thing about the location that most people don’t realize until they’re there – La Californie is this residential neighborhood that feels completely separate from the madness of central Cannes, but you’re really not that far out. That 15-minute walk to the beaches is legit, though it’s more like 12 minutes if you walk at a normal pace and know the shortcuts down through the side streets. I actually preferred this to being right in the thick of things on the Croisette, where you’re dealing with crowds and noise until late. The parking situation is genuinely helpful too – try finding a spot near the Palais des Festivals during festival season and you’ll appreciate having a guaranteed space. The neighborhood has this lived-in feel, with actual French people doing their grocery shopping and walking their dogs, not just tourists taking selfies everywhere.

What I really liked was how the owners seemed to understand the small details that matter when you’re settling in somewhere for more than a night or two. There are enough outlets in the right places, the WiFi actually works consistently, and the shower has decent water pressure – trust me, these aren’t givens in Cannes. The building itself is quiet most of the time, though you’ll hear some street noise during the day since it’s on a main avenue. I mean, it’s not luxury by any stretch, and the furnishings are pretty basic, but everything feels clean and functional. For the price point in Cannes, especially if you’re here during busy season, it’s honestly solid value. You’re getting a real base to operate from rather than just a place to crash, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need when you want to explore the area without burning through your budget on accommodation.

• Nice stay – would come again – Darinka from Serbia – 19 June 2024 (8/10)

  excellent location, beautiful building and greenery, cute apartment nicely decorated, comfortable bed, good wifi, coffee and wine as a gift, although without windows, the smell is good
  
  They have profesional aproach And app , but need to improve it with some details so They do not have situation like ours
  
  They were kind enought to offer 50% to pay hotel for one night ( even thought it was not our falt we did not enter The apartment on time )
  And Also discount for our next visit ( And we would come again )
  
  What could be improved: the host didn't have a spare key, because even though we announced that we were coming around 10 p.m., no one told us that we wouldn't be able to get the key at the supermarket point – we had to take a room in a hotel
  They should be better organized for this situations .

• Pleasant – Tiziano from Italy – 17 January 2025 (6/10)

  The place is in a former grand hotel transformed in a residence. The building is impressive with a very nice garden and view. There is also a sort of common room at the entrance with a big window overlooking the garden. Private parking is available, which is very convenient. The place is also very quiet. The apartment is small but well equipped (kitchen, washing machine, drying machine). There is good ventilation system, since the air was fresh, with no damp smell.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is in the basement, with a window overlooking the stairs. Unfortunately, we didn't read very carefully the description saying that the window is on a passageway. In addition, the stairs don't have a proper window looking outside, so natural light is practically absent. The agency and the host gave us different addresses and codes for collecting the keys (luckily we trusted the host which was correct). The location for collecting the keys, which for us was in front of the train station, has convenient opening hours but it is quite difficult to stop there with a car. Some small details could be improved: The empty toilet paper was not changed and there was no spare one, the kitchen had no coffee spoons, there were very few places to hang towels.

• Exceptional – Kristina from Estonia – 29 May 2024 (10/10)

• Nice place to stay in Cannes – Matthew from United Kingdom – 24 May 2024 (10/10)

  Lovely location, clean property.
  
  What could be improved: There was a delay accessing the property, but the property itself was lovely and I’m sure it wasn’t an issue that will occur again.

• Studio en sous sol sans fenêtre, et clés disponibles à 25mn de marche. À éviter!! – Jean-francois from France – 13 March 2025 (2/10)

  Studio bien aménagé
  
  What could be improved: Aucune fenêtre, studio en sous sol, récupération des clés au centre gare c’est à dire à 25mn à pied du logement.
