In the low season, accommodation in one of the best hotels in Cannes costs on average 200–300 EUR per night. From May to September, prices increase at least twofold.
In the high season, a room in a 4-star hotel in Cannes will cost from 180 EUR and up, while in 3-star hotels you can stay for 100–200 EUR per night. The average rate in 2-star hotels is 80–90 EUR, and in hostels you can get a bed for 60 EUR.
It is quite difficult to calculate the average cost of accommodation in Cannes. It depends on when you plan to visit the city, what type of lodging you intend to rent, where you plan to eat, whether you will use paid beaches, and so on. If keeping expenses low is important to you, note that it is possible to manage with about 150 EUR for a couple of days.
The city offers free beaches, and admission to many attractions and events is free. Therefore, most of your expenses will go toward accommodation in a campsite or hostel (60–70 EUR) and food. Affordable meals can be purchased in stores or at one of the markets. In short, even on a limited budget, you can find prices that make staying in Cannes quite comfortable.
