Résidence Hôtelière Beau Rivage Bandol

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at this perfectly located hotel. We paid 110 euros for a nice room with a harbor view. Bonus was free parking right on the harbor. It’s not a modern hotel, rather, it felt like a motif out of the fifties, but, for us, it worked fine. No breakfast option, but, plenty of options nearby. Two blocks from the harbor front restaurants. Great front patio - one of the best ever. We thought great value, though dated - in a nice way.

Stayed here when visiting Bandol. A beautiful building with a lot of history and decorated in an art deco way in the public eras. Ideally placed for walking access to the town and parking is provided free of charge. The property is gated so very safe, with a beautiful seating area outside. The apartment itself had a sea view with a balcony which was great given the weather. Spotlessly clean throughout with access to a washing machine and drier. A small kitchen 4 electric rings, coffee machine, oven, microwave, crockery and cutlery sufficient for the number of persons the room accommodates (4) The only comment is that the room was tired. Needs a lick of paint, a wardrobe door fixing, new carpet and the voile curtain runner is stuck. The bathroom was very dated but clean. We had a great welcome by the staff, no English is spoken but we got by. There is a local tax to pay on top of the room rate it’s about 1 euro per person per day.

The location is great, just a few steps from the seafront and centre of town, plus the views over the harbour and seafront are great. The property has off road parking included. It is a converted stately villa that is showing its age throughout. Our room was very large, had a nice kitchenette and a small balcony overlooking the marina. No meals are available but there is a good choice of places nearby for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a bakery and small supermarket just down the road. It seems more of a residential hotel where people normally stay a week or more but short stays are possible. The price is reasonable given the excellent location, if renovated they could charge more!

The stay at this hotel was Mid July at 26 degs at night unfortunately for this hotel its was 30 degs in the room with no Air-conditioning it may state that its a vintage hotel in a way they are right furniture and fittings are defiantly dated, which made it a long week. the bar facilities were shut and if you wanted breakfast you had it down the road, the hotel was hardly manned so if anything went wrong there was no one to help.... Bandol is a stunning place to stay and visit though and there are plenty of hotels with air con!
