Is it normal that I can't find any available hostels in Cannes in August?
Are there any beds available in hostels in Cannes on 6th August?
I've used several hostel engines, and they only list hotel rooms... it seems that everything is already reserved. Is it because of the high season and because of Cannes, or am I wrong and I'm looking in the wrong websites?
Best Answer
August the traditional "everyone go on holiday" month in France (and Italy). Hence they are probably very booked up.
Another theory is that Cannes might be more higher class tourist destination and there might be no hostels. Try nearby towns/cities. Sometimes the train between these places is very fast and cheap. I got a single train ticket from Monaco to Nice for about €3 and it only took 45 minutes. Why not stay outside Cannes?

Cheap Hotels in CannesAre hostels still popular?
Millennial hostel-goers may not have as much money as some travelers , but they tend to spend more of their disposable income -- and stay on the road longer -- to see the world than many others. As a result, hostels are becoming a more popular alternative than traditional hotels for many young travelers, aged 18 to 35.Are hostels cheaper last minute?
Booking hostels in advance has its advantages, and getting a cheaper deal can be one of them. Yet this is not gauranteed. For instance, it can sometimes be cheaper to book last minute as the hostel would rather sell the last few beds at a reduced rate than not at all.How do I find hostels while traveling?
The biggest and best site for finding hostels is Hostelworld. They pretty much own the hostel market. Hostelworld is not just for hostels. It also lists local guesthouses, budget hotels, B&Bs and even luxury hostels (yes, this is a thing now).Wolf Alice - How Can I Make It Ok?
