This was the second time we have stayed at the Rachel. It was just as good as last year. It's location is perfect for getting quickly (and cheaply, provided you avoid the extortionate taxi drivers) to Cannes. The No 1 bus regularly leaves the bus stop in Le Cannet 1 minute's walk from the hotel and for the princely sum of 1 euro takes you to the Hotel de Ville in Cannes by the old town and castle. The village of Le Cannet further up the hill (keep walking uphill!) is a delight and gives you great views of Cannes and the sea. The A8 Autoroute is not far away; so you can get to and from Nice airport in 25 minutes. The hotel has underground parking but book it before you arrive.
The staff are helpful. We had a problem accessing the internet which the receptionist sorted out quickly. The food at breakfast was better this time than last year. Our lunch was excellent value.
As before, the swimming pool was very welcoem after a day of sightseeing (or attending a wedding).
