Hotel Belles Rives

This is a classic hotel in a great location. We had a wonderful stay here at the end of the season. Everything was perfect - from the room view, service and attentiveness, to the food. I was a bit worried because of some negative reviews (on this site). However, I think it is a matter of expectations. This is not a new building and has not be renovated. So it doesn’t have the latest and the greatest. But that is part of its charm. This is old school at its best.

Stunning hotel with exceptional views and amazing staff!! Dream trip and can't wait to come back!

Wonderful hotel with so much character and charm. Loved the classic old-style bar with beautiful cocktails and a pianist playing classical music. The room was exceptional, as was the food and service. Make sure you dine both on the promenade and in the restaurant. Gorgeous view of the bay and the pier. Loved every minute of it.

Beautiful art deco hotel right on the water. Stunning setting. Food and staff good and room very comfortable although large. Unfortunately the main restaurant was not open at this time of the year but the bar food was good. Excellent shopping in Juan Les Pins right on the doorstep. Pricey but a real treat

Lovely characterful property with beautiful views over the sea. Staff very friendly and helpful

Excellent staff but this is definitely not 5 star hotel. It’s 3 star with big ambitions and prices.Worn out,charging for everything including coffee maker in the room,bed is uncomfortable with cheap quality bedding.

Beautiful location. Had techno music blaring until 1am one evening. For how expensive it is, would expect much better service. It is off putting having to pay a significant amount of money just to rent a hotel lounger and towel at the hotel you are already paying to stay at.

The amenities at Belles Reves are incomparable. Excellent care of the room by staff. I did notice a stain on the sofa as well as the wall paper was peeling off on the archway in the room. I let the hotel staff know.

This is a lovely setting and was a return trip for us. We stayed 5 nights. Bar Fitzgerald had fabulous live music- piano and vocals by extremely gifted lady pianist.There were a few areas that should be improved compared to our previous stays. Concierge are outstanding- Christopher, Luca, over night desk supervisor on Wednesday nights* ( both years). Others whose names I do not know were great. Shortfalls- bar waite staff. Worked very hard, moved very fast, avoided eye contact often. Guests usually had to wave down assistance- to order drinks, food, water. It appears they are not assigned specific zones, tables or guests. Team work is commedable concept, but " floating randomly amoungst a sea of waving arms must be very frustrating for gracious, hard working staff. If it were basketball- a skilled team, focused on teamwork and doing a good job- but no assignments or system. Is it zone or player to player? Coach is missing. We ate in bar every day. Good food except for abundance of dried, hot, wasabhi in nut mix of snacks. Great pasta and burgers and of course frites. Should have more choices- pizza perhaps. Warning- instant coffee and tea in room- scarce, have to ask for it. No milk or cream - have to order from room service. Nepresso pods are 4€ each. Again lovely staff, great history, wonderful views.

Bar closed at 11 o’clock

Fantastic stay at Hotel Belle Rives. Very friendly and attentive staff, amazing views!

This wonderful hotel is in the most amazing location with clear blue sea and amazing sunsets the history of it all is a truly magnificent thing to experience On top of that the staff are just the best trained you’ll come to find especially in that area of SoF hey cannot do enough for you it my favourite hotel in Europe

A very nice stay in this beautiful, historic hotel. Our room was comfortable but at times somewhat noisy facing the street. Breakfast was excellent and the views from the patio can’t be beat. We also had one dinner which was excellent, but the 4 course dessert was excessive (not to mention a dessert in a box as a gift). The staff are friendly and very helpful.

An amazing experience. This was my second stay at Hotel Belles Rives and the first time for my husband. We absolutely love everything about the hotel: the staff, the food, the location, the ambiance, the piano bar etc. etc. Thank you to the entire staff.

Do not trust the porter with your stuff. We left a beautiful white umbrella when checking in and did not get it back when the luggage was delivered to our room. The porter assured it that we can pick it at the reception area when going out, but it was not there. We were not even offered a hotel's own umbrella as a replacement.

Staff was incredible. Pleasant and accommodating. The property is gorgeous. The atmosphere is delightful.

Great concierge service! Beautiful Terrance/view. Definitely recommend seaview.

We loved the Belle Rives. An incredibly beautiful hotel and we had a wonderful stay.

So romantic

Beautiful hotel an the water. Very friendly and helpful staff.
