Le Cavendish Hotel 4 Étoiles Cannes

Lovely boutique hotel in a very convenient location. We’ve been coming to this hotel regularly and love the friendly feel. The hotel rooms are spotlessly clean with very comfortable furnishings. The breakfast and wine tasting in the evening is a great addition with the staff providing excellent customer service. Overall a great hotel with exceptional value for money in beautiful Cannes.

A Hidden Gem of True Hospitality ... We’ll Be Back! We spent ten wonderful days at Le Cavendish Hotel in early July and were genuinely surprised by the level of care, warmth, and professionalism from the entire staff. Everything exceeded our expectations: a rare find these days! The rooms were impeccably clean and thoughtfully prepared every single day. The sleeping comfort was excellent, with absolute silence at night ensuring true rest. Breakfast deserves a special mention: fresh, homemade cakes, top-quality ingredients, and a wide selection that felt more like a boutique brunch than a standard hotel breakfast. It was a highlight of our mornings. Another wonderful touch was the daily aperitivo offered by the hotel: the perfect moment to relax and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. You could really feel that the staff not only do their job with excellence, but they genuinely enjoy it, making every guest feel unique and special. In a world full of impersonal B&Bs and average stays, Le Cavendish truly sets the bar for real hospitality. This place is a gem and we’ll definitely return next year. Thank you for everything.

Given the reviews, we were expecting a friendly welcome, it wasn't, it was business-like and to the point, not very friendly at all, verging on grumpy sadly, it felt like we were checking in to a chain hotel. Also, we weren't expecting the 200 euros charge to cover incidentals. We put cash down, but changed it to card towards the end of our stay as we didn't want to change up more cash. There is also a city tax, which was around 40 euros for the week. ||Our room was OK, not many power points, no mirror in room near a power point, to use hair straighteners etc, no power point in bathroom for them either. One power point only worked if you had the light on!||Shower leaked profusely on to the floor (I think the drain needs cleaning out), no shelves to put your showering stuff. Shampoo supplied, but no conditioner.|Limited tea/coffee, dried milk powder, no sugar, although there is a fridge, so we bought fresh milk from the local shop.||Bedding of good quality. Also, very good air conditioning. Great view from our balcony, very interesting watching life go on in the streets of Cannes - we would have liked a couple of chairs on the balcony though! Rooms are well soundproofed (if your immediate neighbour doesn't bang their door shut late at night)||TV had UK channels, but buffered a lot - forgive me if I'm wrong, but we just couldn't find the volume button on the remote, to either turn up, or down, which was irritating - don't know if this is meant to be, in order to reduce noise or not? Annoying either way.||This hotel does have it's charm, the lift is lovely, but we found the décor very dour, particularly in the stairway - don't know if this is meant to reflect the era or not?|Breakfast was OK, but on three of the seven mornings, we had to ask for plates as there weren't any. Breakfast appears to be run by young staff, although entirely pleasant, despite not being busy, they weren't on the ball.||We skipped the 'free wine tasting' as we're not really wine drinkers - it's a nice offering though. However, there isn't a bar or restaurant at the hotel, to wind down after a day or night out.||The walk to the private or public beaches is a good 15-20 minutes. 5 minutes to the train station.||I would consider this 'hotel' more of a Bed and Breakfast - as there are no other facilities, other than - bed and breakfast!||The breakfast staff were always very friendly, but the stand out staff were Marie (incredibly helpful and friendly) and I think a young chap called Oliver (?) Perhaps had Marie been at reception, on our arrival, our first impressions would have been much better.||Don't get me wrong, this is an entirely acceptable place to stay, within easy reach of Croisette, marina, beaches etc, so long as you don't expect many amenities and don't mind a steep walk back!

I cannot praise this hotel and its staff enough. |From the moment you walk into the foyer of the quaint, historic family run boutique hotel, you are made to feel welcome but it is taken to another level with the offer of a complimentary drink.|Our room was one of the rotunda style with a large balcony looking down to the streets below.|Each evening between 6.30pm and 8.30 pm there is a complimentary wine testing event which makes locally produced wines available to taste. |At this we met the son of the owner Johan, who was obviously and rightly so, proud of the hotel and the high standard of service they provide. His recommendations for two local restaurants, which we took him up on over our two night stay, were absolutely spot on.|The only meal served at the hotel is a continental breakfast which was of a very high standard and plentiful.|Without doubt we will return .|We will definitely return

We left deeply disappointed with our recent stay—an experience that fell far below the standards one would reasonably expect from a 4-star hotel. From the moment we arrived, it became clear that the level of cleanliness and attention to detail was lacking. Areas that should have been spotless were not, and basic expectations for hygiene and upkeep were simply not met. Equally concerning was the service. Staff appeared disinterested, unhelpful, and at times entirely inattentive. Requests were either ignored or met with indifference, and there was a noticeable lack of hospitality throughout our stay. When booking a property with a 4-star rating, there is a reasonable assumption that a certain level of quality, professionalism, and care will be delivered. Unfortunately, none of those expectations were fulfilled. We had looked forward to a comfortable, well-managed experience, but what we encountered instead was frustrating and far below the standard that should be associated with a property of this caliber. We sincerely hope improvements are made, but based on this visit, we would be reluctant to return.

Le Cavendish is quite a nice hotel within walking distance from la Croisette.|The first contact with the reception is very welcoming with given information about places of interest and restaurants nearby.|The room is cosy and clean. A plus - drinks offered in the evening in a nice atmosphere.|Special thanks to Olivier during breakfast and Raouf in the evening who were friendly and service oriented. Nothing was too much. It would be nice to see this attitude more often.|We were there for my wife's birthday. A very nice treat for her. Smit

The Hotel Le Cavendish is a delightful hotel, ideally situated with lovely rooms, beautifully appointed, and a warm and friendly staff providing wonderful hospitality. The breakfast was the best we had in France and the evening wine hour was convivial and such an enjoyable start to the evening. Looking forward to returning!

Let me tell you something. It is the most amazing place. The service is unbelievable. They go out of their way to help you. I’ve been around a lot of hotels travelled a lot but one of the top places would be this place because of the service and the kindness and the rooms are amazing. They go out of their way to show you around a great experience and the best thing is they have an evening every night with alcohol and bliss for free place.

J'Adore. Le Cavendish is fantastic! This hotel has old world charm yet amazing features and service. A free happy hour... in FRANCE... with snacks? Who would have thought since breathing costs you about 10 cents each breath in this country. The hotel staff are wonderful and very helpful! I would stay here again and again. I realize Cannes is full of superstar hotels but this hotel competes with the best of them! The character of the hotel itself is incredibly gorgeous and artsy and the rooms are fantastic! You even get your own terrace overlooking the street and shops. It's quite romantic here. I give Le Cavendish 5 stars even if the hotel is not considered to technically be 5 stars, it deserves 5-star praise completely!

3.75 stars. This is an older hotel that needs updating, however the great service makes up for what it lacks in amenities. The tiny vintage elevator is absolutely adorable. We definitely got a few laughs riding it. The wrap around stair case is also cute and provides a great workout. Recommend staying in a room with a terrace, it's perfect for enjoying a nice bottle of wine outdoors on a beautiful night. Breakfast is included, as is an open bar cocktail hour from 18:00-21:00.AC in rooms. We would stay here again, but prefer a location closer to the beach. This hotel is a 5 minute walk to the famous shopping strip and restaurants.

Just ok. I know that all of the hotels in Cannes are old - and this place is OLD. My review is for room 180 - a standard king bed room. What they've done here is paint over all old light switches, put in new windows, install overhead lighting and update the bathroom with new fixtures and countertops. But it's kind of like putting "lipstick on a pig". The lighting In the room is terrible. To put on my makeup in the bathroom was impossible as there was a regular bulb and an incandescent bulb in the ceiling which just cast light overhead. When you leaned in to the mirror, you were in the shadows of darkness and couldn't see a thing. Oh and they have a magnifying mirror in the bathroom but it is attached to the wall and impossible to use unless you're 5 foot 10 and again, no light. The shower is a cheap plastic insert on the floor with no curtain or glass so by the time you are done half the bathroom has water on the floor. The blow dryer - you have to physically hold down the button to keep it turned "on". There is no additional outlet in the bathroom so my flat iron needed to be plugged in nest to my bed and the cord stretched into the bathroom. Thankfully I was just on the first floor as I was genuinely scared to get into the "antique lift" - I just took the stairs. One day all of the power except for my bedside lamp and bathroom lights turned off. I wound up having to dress in the dark for dinner that evening and work the next day until they had an electrician come in to repair. When I got back from dinner initially and asked if they fixed it I was told an electrician would be coming tomorrow and did I want some candles? Um I think not in this tinderbox! There was no dresser so my undies and non hanging items needed to go on the shelf with the the safe and mini fridge. The furnishings were OLD, the closet had a hole in the ceiling. The kettle in the room doesn't work. The storm shutters on the outside of the window kept falling which added to my lack of light misery. The only English speaking channel was CNN International. The "freee" WiFi was spotty and the room service food was disgusting- literally a jar of pasta - like chef boyardee heated up - I would've gone out had I realized. The walk to La Croisette and the Palais are not bad going but honestly if you are out of shape in any way, the walk back can be grueling. It is uphill for a big part of the walk and then to cross the major roadway takes a lot of skill and bravery. For me I was thankful that I work out at a gym and I packed myself flip flops to walk in. Positives: The people were extremely friendly. The bed was comfortable. The complementary breakfast was lovely as were the people serving it. The evening free cocktails were fine although I had to stay with wine as the spirits were the cheapest types you could get. Wodka anyone? The room had 2 robes and slippers. And you got two free bottles of water daily - still and sparkling. And housekeeping does a good job. Cannes is not my favorite destination to begin with but definitely will choose a hotel closer or on the Croisette next time I travel here.

NOT SAFE a fire trap waiting to happen. Do not be fooled by old world charm .The elevator blew up and sounded like a big bomb.in the night and the rooms were without power. If there is a fire heaven help you ... try running down a narrow dangerous spiral staircase in the dark....if you have any health issues find a real hotel. Do not go out at night . They lock the doors and no one is at the reception desk. You have to bang on the hotel door to try to wake someone in the back to open them. Take your chances to get mugged in this rough area of canne. You need to cross 4 times on busy freeway to get to the water front. Pay more for peace of mind.
