 For an Affordable Stay |
31, rue Bivouac Napoléon Cannes, Alpes-Côte d'Azur 06400 France +33 4 9706 2121 http://www.albe-hotel.com/ |
This two-star hotel is located in the heart of the shopping district, close to the Palais des Festivals (where the famous Film Festival takes place every year). La Croisette's welcoming beaches and palm trees are also located a stone's throw away. Simple but tastefully done in white and blue, the hotel's recently refurbished rooms are soundproofed and equipped with bathrooms and WCs. Although it doesn't have its own restaurant, the hotel, in collaboration with nine restaurants, gives both half and full board guests a reasonable deal. There's a secure public car park nearby and the Cannes-Nice airport shuttle bus stop is also next to the hotel. Review © 2007, Wcities |
