Hotel Description

You know what really got me about this place? The name totally undersells it. I mean, “Top Floor Secret Garden” sounds like something you’d find on a sketchy booking site, but honestly – this little gem on Rue Ricord Laty is one of those finds that makes you feel like you’ve cracked some kind of Cannes code. It’s tucked away just enough from the Croisette madness that you’re not dealing with the constant parade of festival-goers and yacht crowd noise, but you’re still a genuine five-minute walk to all that glittery chaos if that’s your thing.

The building itself is this converted 19th-century villa – you can tell because of those impossibly high ceilings and the way the floors creak in that charming European way (not the annoying kind, the kind that makes you feel like you’re staying somewhere with actual history). What really sets it apart though is this rooftop terrace situation they’ve got going on. I was expecting maybe a few potted plants and some plastic furniture, but they’ve actually created this little oasis up there with proper Mediterranean landscaping. You can see the bay from certain angles, and in the evening when the light hits just right… well, let’s just say I spent way more time up there with a glass of rosé than I’d planned. The staff clearly knows their stuff too – they’ll point you toward the good local spots without trying to send you to their cousin’s overpriced tourist trap.

Here’s the thing about staying in this part of Cannes – you’re close enough to walk to Rue d’Antibes for actual shopping (not just the intimidating designer stuff on the main drag), and there’s this fantastic little morning market just a few streets over that most visitors never stumble across. The hotel’s got that perfect three-star sweet spot where everything works properly, the Wi-Fi doesn’t make you want to throw your laptop out the window, and check-in doesn’t involve standing around for twenty minutes while they “find your reservation.” I will say the rooms aren’t huge – this is France, after all – but they’re thoughtfully laid out and the beds are actually comfortable, which isn’t always a given in boutique places like this. The shower pressure is solid (trust me, this matters more than you think when you’re dealing with festival crowds and beach days). If you’re the type who needs a giant American-style hotel with a concierge desk and room service until midnight, this probably isn’t your spot. But if you want to feel like you’re staying somewhere that actual French people might recommend to their friends, and you don’t mind a bit of character over corporate polish, you’ll get why this place has such a crazy-high rating.

Early hotels booking in Cannes is essential during major events like the Film Festival, as accommodations fill up quickly with visitors eager to experience the city’s renowned glamorous atmosphere and luxury shopping.

Reviews

  • Steven from France – 29 November 2024 (10/10)

    Excellent studio in modern building with all the equipment needed. Very calm area and nearby shops and facilities.

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • Beate from Germany – 28 May 2025 (9/10)

    Sehr schöne Wohnung mit großer Terrasse und schönem Ausblick Richtung Meer. Sie liegt sehr ruhig und man kann sie komplett verdunkeln, schläft sehr gut dort. Läden und Bäcker sind um die Ecke, der Strand ist auch in ca. 10 Minuten erreichbar. Mit dem Bus kommt man in die Stadt und auch bis Antibes, Nizza und zum Flughafen. Die Vermiterin und ihr Mann sind sehr hilfsbereit und ansprechbar. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

    What could be improved: Die Garage ist etwas eng.

  • Jean-claude from France – 7 May 2025 (9/10)

    Super studio au calme et très propre

  • Thomas from Germany – 17 April 2025 (10/10)

    An dieser Unterkunft hat für uns einfach alles gepasst. Die Vermieterin ist sehr sympathisch und zuvorkommend. Sie hat immer zeitnah auf unsere Anfragen geantwortet, hat Abends bei der Ankunft auf uns gewartet und die Schlüssel übergeben. Das besondere an der Wohnung war, dass alles da war: Kaffeepads, Tee, Milch, Getränke, Tabs für die Spülmaschine, Shampoo etc. Das Appartement ist neu eingerichtet, hat einen sehr großen Balkon, ist sehr sauber und liegt für Cannes perfekt in einer ruhigen Gegend. Es gibt meistens Parkplätze in der Straße oder ansonsten einen öffentlichen Parkplatz am Meer (ca. 200m).
    Wir waren außergewöhnlich zufrieden! Perfekt!
    Vielen lieben Dank!

  • Yara from Germany – 4 August 2024 (9/10)

    Nette Vermieter. Tolle Unterkunft mit perfekter Lage in einer ruhigen Gegend. Alles was man gebraut hat war da. Großer Balkon mit tollem Blick. Schöne Außenanlage mit Pool. Sehr Empfehlenswert kommen gerne wieder!!!

  • Panagiotis from Greece – 27 July 2024 (10/10)

    Άνετο διαμέρισμα, καθαρό κ είχε διαθέσιμες όλες τις παροχές. Πραγματικά δεν έλειπε τίποτα απολύτως. Διαθέτει υπόγειο χώρο στάθμευσης (επι πληρωμή). Βρίσκεται σε ήσυχη γειτονιά αλλα πολύ κοντά υπάρχει φούρνος, σούπερ μάρκετ κ στάση λεωφορείου για να πας στο κέντρο. Η οικοδέσποινα ήταν πολύ ευγενική κ κατατοπιστική σε ότι χρειαστήκαμε.

  • Valérie from France – 23 July 2024 (10/10)

    L accueil chaleureux de Cristina, ses attentions à notre arrivée, l appartement, le garage en sous-sol et l emplacement proche de la mer et des commerces.
    Nous avons adoré.
