Avaton Hôtel

If your attending a conference in Cannes, this is an absolutely excellent hotel solution. The rooms have everything you need and are fresh and spotlessly clean. The hosts Annelis and Fritz are extremely friendly and service minded. The other positive reviews don't lie this is a little gem.

We booked this hotel using booking.com based on the reviews as I heard a hotel in South of France could be a hit and miss. We wanted something good and the reviews did not disappoint; this hotel ended up being really good. The hotel is nice and simple, and is situated in the heart of Cannes. The owners, who were a pleasant couple, have been helpful since day one of our visit ensuring our stay is comfortable. The rooms were kept clean and we had everything we needed even small things like power adapters were provided, all this could happen probably due to the owner’s attentiveness. It was a great hotel without all the unnecessary pompousness of the big hotels and we would say it was great value for price and a great experience overall!

We booked this hotel having read TripAdvisor reviews and were not disappointed! Fritz and Annelis were delightful and very attentive hosts looking after our every need and being especially helpful with my elderly mother who was travelling with us. We knew the stairs would be a challenge for her but Fritz offered lots of help and she managed well. The rooms were light and airy with modern fittings and very comfortable beds. The highlight had to be the breakfasts with a wonderful mix of French and Swiss fare, croissants, fresh fruit and a different feature item each day - delicious. We were given plenty of advice on restaurants and provided with maps of the town. I can highly recommend Hotel des Allees as a very affordable place to stay in this very fashionable town.

Every year I spend ten days at the Hotel des Allees. The owner managers are like family friends for me. The establishment is extremely well run and very well situated near the old port of Cannes. Rooms are impeccably clean, breakfasts are always served with good humour and little extra treats of fruit salad or special muesli are regularly on offer. The only drawback is lack of an elevator but that is an advantage towards keeping fit!

My daughter is a college student studying abroad for 10 weeks. She and a fellow student decided to spend a long weekend in Cannes. Selecting a hotel when you have zero familiarity with an area can be a daunting task. Tripadvisor was a godsend. After thoroughly studying reviews, it was decided that Hotel des Allees was THE way to go. Hotel des Allees did not disappoint!!! It's a wonderful, affordable, cozy, clean and centrally located respite. My daughter and her classmate travelled to Cannes from Paris by train. They were able to navigate the area, access the hotel and everything of interest, by foot. No car was needed. The friendly and accommodating owners of Hotel des Allees live on property. They are happy to help but not hovering or intrusive. They readily offered excellent restaurant advice (my daughter is a vegetarian) and "how to's" in terms of getting to nearby island, Sainte-Marguerite. Definitely check out Sainte-Marguerite. According to my daughter, "It's magical." The owners' two dogs are an added bonus. In fact, the owners walk the dogs and always offer a friendly hello to their guests in passing. Rooms are spotless, air-conditioned, have free wifi, a safe, a television that offers channels in several different languages. There's a blow dryer in the bathroom and the shower can be used both handheld or hands-free. Toblerone candies are left on the bed. A lovely touch. The hotel and room is accessed via electronic room key. Hotel des Allees was everything Tripadvisor reviews suggested it would be and more. Highly recommend.

We just spent the weekend in Cannes and stayed at Hotel des Allees. The hotel is ideally located, very very clean and fresh. But the best part of the stay were the owners, Fritz and Annelis. They were so friendly and very helpful, from waiting in the rain to help us with parking our car, carrying our luggage, and making suggestions for dinner. We highly recommend the breakfast, homemade jams, special pancakes, and muesli. We felt like we were at home. Bill and Maggie

A small hotel with small rooms. However, it is wonderfully quiet, safe and clean. Proprietors are welcoming and very accommodating, an excellent plus. Since you will be in room mostly for sleep, it is ideal. Good WiFi. Central location close to everything is a real plus. If you have a car you can buy a longer than daily in/out pass in the garage office by the exit ramp saving expenses. If not, close to the train station and lots of buses. Walking to beach, exhibition center and many restaurants is very easy.

This is not a Hilton nor an Intercontinental, but a tiny family owned and run hotel. Located in the heart of Cannes, where life takes place. l was welcomed very friendly helped with luggage and shown to my room! Not spacious but very clean with all you need. Great fresh breakfast with a smile of the owner, a chat and some advise I asked for. Certainly will come again for short break or business meetings like this time for a congress! It felt like coming home!

After 17 consecutive editions of the Cannes Lions festival I have experienced many different hotels in Cannes. Hôtel des Allées, run by a Swiss couple, is my favourite. Because of the excellent service that Annelis and Fritz give. They make you feel at home. The rooms are very comfortable and kept clean. The breakfast is delicious, thanks to the daily fresh fruit salad or the famous Fritz muesli. And the location very near the Palace in a car traffic free street is ideal. All of this for a surprisingly friendly budget. Don't book too late!

Location, helpful owners, no noise from outside, silent area, small and cheap bar with snacks and drinks. Room a bit small, too much noise like door banging and people walking in the upper floors, I think that the walls and ceilings are thin. Not too good if you want to sleep until late, but ok if you want to wake up at 9am.
