Villa CANA

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Villa CANA? It’s tucked away on this quiet little street – Rue Boucicaut – that most tourists completely miss, even though you’re literally a ten-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals. I mean, I’ve stayed in Cannes probably six times now, and I’d never even noticed this street before. It’s one of those perfect finds where you get the real neighborhood feel without sacrificing location.

The building itself has that classic French villa charm – nothing flashy, but honestly, that’s exactly what works here. The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 3-star place, clean and comfortable with decent-sized windows that actually open (which, trust me, matters more than you think in Cannes). What really impressed me was how quiet it stays at night. You’re in the Prado-République area, so there’s life around you – little cafés, that excellent bakery on the corner where locals actually go – but somehow the street noise just doesn’t penetrate. I slept better here than at some of the pricier places right on the Croisette where you get sirens and party noise until 3 AM.

The staff genuinely knows their stuff about the area, which isn’t always a given. When I mentioned I wanted to avoid the tourist crowds at the beaches, the woman at the front desk – I think her name was Sophie – immediately pointed me toward Plage du Midi instead of just sending me to the obvious spots. Little things like that make a difference. Parking can be a bit tricky (it’s street parking mostly), but honestly, that’s Cannes for you – and at least you’re not paying hotel garage prices. The 8.5 rating makes total sense to me because while it’s not going to wow you with fancy amenities, it just… works really well. Everything functions properly, the WiFi doesn’t cut out every five minutes, and you can actually have a conversation with the staff in English without that slightly panicked look you get at some places. If you’re planning to be out exploring most of the time anyway – and let’s face it, why wouldn’t you be in Cannes – this gives you a solid, comfortable base without the inflated prices of staying right in the thick of things.

• Hatem from Egypt – 11 September 2024 (9/10)

  Very friendly They let us inside early
  2 secured bedrooms plus the sofa
  
  What could be improved: This is an apartment hotel not a hotel. If you check out at 11 am and your flight is at night there is no place in the facility to store your luggage but there are a lot of storage locations in cannes so this should be a problem

• Richard from United Kingdom – 16 March 2025 (6/10)

  Good location and super market nearbay
  
  What could be improved: For a business trip to MIPIM it was fine and good value. It is tired and dated for a family. Bathroom poor. Towels the size of a tea towell

• Laura from France – 8 November 2024 (9/10)

  Logement décoré avec goût, à 10 minutes seulement à pied de la gare ce qui était très pratique pour nous.
  Literie très confortable.
  Hôte très arrangeant, nous avons demandé à partir plus tard et cela n’a posé aucun problème.
  
  What could be improved: Les murs avec les voisins sont très fins alors dans le salon on entend beaucoup les autres personnes de l’immeuble.
  La cuisine manque d’équipements, seulement des toutes petites casseroles nous avons dû faire cuire nos pâtes en 2 fois.
  Ceci ne nous a pas dérangé car nous ne restions qu’une seule nuit.

• Noelle from France – 27 September 2024 (8/10)

  Propreté, emplacement
  
  What could be improved: Batiment très très bruyant
