Hotel Beau Rivage - Nice

Hotel is in perfect location in the old town... Thats where it stops with this hotel. The air condtioning in the room did not work, i had requested it repaired multiple times, it never was (no service man on after 5pm) The beach service was terrible. The price quoted was 19e for a chair, umbrella and towel. We asked specifically if we bought 2 would we get 2 umbrellas, they said yes, at the beach they refused to give us the second umbrella, we complained, and asked for the manager who never appeared. Then we brought a snack and water for the beach and was asked to leave the beach to eat it as we didn't but it there. The service person was very very rude. Will not stay again there are other hotels in that area that can't have as poor service.

The hotel is situated in the old part of Nice, which is one of its main benefits - the old part of Nice is wonderful. The hotel itself is nicely furnished. Staff on the reception could provide a little more information when prompted, and the restaurant staff could do with being a little softer in approach. The hotel has a private beach, but there is only a small dicount for hotel users and it seems to get booked up. If you really want a bed, best to reserve, believe it or not.

Great hotel and location, right near the beach (though rooms don't have a sea view). Private beach is convenient though a bit expensive. Very pleasant hotel.

Nice hotel close to the old city and the beach.

Very spacious, modern looking hotel and hotel rooms. We were very comfortable. We did not eat breakfast there as I felt it was a bit expensive (20 euro per person). But definately would stay there again

TV did not work properly. Staff could not solve the problem. Sheets have been dirty.

Perfect

I had booked the least expensive rooms available (115 E per night), and although small and lacked great views, they were very nice and quiet. The beds were comfortable and the services were good. We parked our car in a hotel lot 1 block away and were given unlimited in and out access, although we didn't use it. Unless one were driving to Cap Ferat or another location, its much better to walk or talk the bus. The location was sensational. The beach is across the street. Old Nice starts a block away. Place Massena is 3 blocks away. Everything is at your fingertips. It was a great value and I would definitely stay there again. Perhaps springing for a more expensive room with a view. A fabulous restaurant, La Petit Maison, is just down the street. I would recommend it highly.

Beautiful hotel and lovely area with a 2 minute walk to the beach. Private beach very expensive at 18 euros per person but public beach uncomfortable due to pebbles!! Staff lovely and spoke English to us which was helpful. Couple - romantic break - perfect First time we stayed here but would go back for a special occasion (due to price)

Excellant location in old nice beside lots of good restaurants. good location near sea. all in all very central hotel

One of the few hotels situated in the old town (which I heartedly recommend) - it's excellently situated for the beach, general meandering and the evening. The hotel has it's own private beach, but there seems to be a disconnect between the hotel and the beach staff to the extent that they're practically run as separate businesses. It's not possible to put charges from the beach on the room, and the hotel staff did not advise us that a reservation should be made for a sunbed. Also, whereas I believe hotel guests previously received a preferential rate for the sunbeds, this no longer seems to be the case. The rooms are nice and quiet, but these small things seemed to remove some of the attractions of staying at the hotel. I couldn't help thinking that the service didn't justify the cost. At the end of the day, I would use the private beach for drinks at sunset, but use the public beach for any sunbathing and swimming - the stones are a very cheap hot stone therapy if nothing else.

Good hotel in best area of nice,good design and nice beach,superb jazz on sunday night ,nice staff through out hotel . only complaint was no access to beau rivage beach on bastille day . they had a special meal on but were fully booked so non residents were given preference over guests [not good policy]there was plenty of room to allow guests to have a drink but even this was not allowed

We have stayed at the BR before and loved it - exellent location in the old town and a nice comfortable hotel with access to a beach bar. The only thing that spoiled our stay was that the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. This wasn't a problem in itself, but it was the way that the reception stafff managed the incident and various events afterwards which disappointed us. We know that the French have their own manner of service and in fact often find this refreshing, but the one guy on reception was positively surely. Not sure that this would stop me visiting again - it's just one of those one off type things.

The waste basket was broken The wall were not clean The quality of the furnishing is too bad and don't resist to the lugages The window was too old and not possible to close The silicone on the wall in the bathroom was uggly (dark)...we have signalized that to the desk and they repairs it !

I would like fresh fuits in the buffet of beakfast, and free entrance to the beach.

The walls of the room were not clean. The furniture were damaged.

Good hotel but sometimes a little unfriendly.

Bathroom was set up very oddly. After shower there was water covering the entire floor....not a real good design. Room was tiny and there was a hole in the comforter. Didn't get the feeling that quality was really a priority here... felt almost like it was a really nice hostel... Awesome location, cool lobby and bar and cool name. Not much more.

We booked a delux room and although clean and nicely laid out, I would have expected a little more... it wasn't quite "wow" factor but the hotel service and location soon made up for that... We had a totally amazing time in Nice... the hotel is in a perfect location and very central to everything and all within 5 mins walk. We will definitely stay at the Beau Rivage and maybe next time book to stay in the suite.

Even though I knew the price before setting off on holiday, the room was very over priced. The quietness of the room was good if the window was closed, but with the window closed, it was quite hot (no air conditioning in room in November...). Other than those items, I highly recommend this hotel. The staff was very courteous and friendly.
