Modern Hotel

Modern Hotel is a two-star hotel at 11 Rue des Serbes in Cannes, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. It stands one block from the Croisette and the Palais des Festivals, which puts the beach, the festival venue and the Rue d'Antibes shopping street within a few minutes on foot. The Cannes railway station is close, and Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is roughly 25 to 30 kilometres along the coast. The hotel is in the budget category, with rooms available from about EUR 70 a night, and offers a basic city-centre stay without the facilities of larger properties. Room types are Single Rooms and Double Rooms, and wifi and air conditioning are listed, a useful combination in the hot summer months. The price guide of roughly EUR 70 to 170 per night makes it one of the more affordable choices so close to the Croisette, although prices rise during the film festival in May and in July and August. The service style is simple, with a reception that can help with directions, taxis and excursions to the Lérins Islands, Grasse and Antibes. The hotel suits solo travellers, couples and festival visitors on a limited budget who plan to spend most of the day outdoors. There is no pool, spa or restaurant listed, so guests eat in the cafés and restaurants of the surrounding streets and use the public beaches of the Croisette. The Rue des Serbes location also puts the hotel close to the high-end boutiques of the Croisette area, although the hotel itself is firmly aimed at value-conscious travellers.
