Hotel Bleues le Balmoral was built in 1859, so it is an older hotel with many coats of paint and old wrought iron balconies. It faces the Mediterranean to the west and the beach road, so expect some traffic noise. Not too fancy but the breakfast hall was excellent and well maintained. Beds were soft but comfortable, with lots of pillows and crisp white sheets. Fridges only available in the Deluxe chambres. Thank you to the day manager, Sabrina, who was very friendly and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. French, English, and Italian are spoken at this hotel. Recommended for direct access to the beach, dining hall and location at the edge of "old town". SNCF regional train was a 10 minute walk. This hotel was very affordable. Merci beaucoup.

Impeccable. Hôtel très propre, nourriture bonne et variée au restaurant matin comme soir en demi-pension, personnel très avenant et diplomate et installations complètes. L’emplacement est génial à quelques minutes de la gare et adjacent au centre de Menton. Mention toute spéciale à la réceptionniste des soirs du 16 et du 17 octobre très sympathique et qui a toujours offert un service à la clientèle irréprochable. Supervisant moi-même dans l’hospitalité à la réception elle dispose de tout les atouts. À tout cela s’ajoute la vue sur la mer; wow. Sur l’aile la plus rapprochée la vue est panoramique et j’ose dire qu’elle l’est tout autant dans l’aile principale. Un incontournable dans la région et avec grand plaisir de revenir y séjourner.

Everyone was extremely kind and accommodating. Breakfast was plentiful and location was the best. Will definitely return. Highly recommend this hotel. Close to everything.

Great location. Park at “ parking hotel de ville 120 yards away.

Excellent location. Great breakfast with a good selection. Helpful staff.

Excellent location across from the beach. Lots of restaurants and shopping close by. Reception staff of Linda, Milco and Veronica were so friendly and helpful!

Short stay only for one night but everything was absolutely amazing

Lovely hotel and rooms recently renovated. Only negative was the hairdryer. A 1980s style dryer, I could move more air with my breath. Apart from that a lovely hotel in an excellent location.

This is a stunning hotel location. Our family room had a balcony overlooking the sea. Must have been newly renovated and was beautiful. The staff were kind and helpful and breakfast buffet was good.

perfect location across from beach. breakfast food not so good they provide beach supplies like umbrella and mats but don’t make it obvious that it is available grounds are great for relaxing overlooking the sea

Didn’t clean the room everyday, no power outlets in the bathrooms. Didn’t change bed sheets for days. I visit south of France often and this was not what I expected. I’m sorry but I will not return to that hotel again.

No issues at all with the hotel or staff, very retro, as is typical is the South of France parking is a challenge, hotel has none but does have a drop off zone at the front for 30 mins

Excellent stay with beautiful sea view from our room. The location is perfect with lots of restaurants around. Staff was courteous and willing to go the extra mile with our requests. Breakfast was basic - coffee with a view of the ocean was the perfect start to our day. I would definitely go back.

I have stayed at this hotel on 4 different occasions, the hotel is very nice, staff make you very welcome, great location and good breakfast, will book again when I am working in the area, highly recommend :-)

The property was excellent and so conveniently situated. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. There was nothing negative about this hotel or the resort its self. Would definitely recommend.

Helpful staff, good location

Very clean and comfortable hotel by the beach with complete and varied breakfast! Thank you!

Staff went out of their way for my parents stay. They were so kind and couldn't have been more helpful, even at late notice organising a lovely little welcome pack. They will absolutely be returning.

Everything was wonderful Menton is spectacular

Beautiful hotel. Great view from the room.Great location. Kind and helpful staff.
