 | |  |  | Hotel Beau Rivage: Don't pay full rate!
|  |  | |  |
Usually, the notice with the rack rate is on the back of the door in your room. Not at the BR - it's hidden in the wardrobe. Why? Because apparently the full rate for a small-ish double room, EXCLUDING breakfast, is 540 euro a night. NUTS! We booked through a friend in the trade, and so paid about 140 euro, including breakfast (40 euro for 2 if you don't have an inclusive rate ..).
The rooms are very nice, I must say. The bed was huge and extremely comfortable. There's a flat screen TV with internet. There's a free bottle of red wine and a bottle of Evian. But we didn't drink these on our first night, and they disappeared on the second day - rule is obviously use it or lose it!
Bathroom is a reasonable size with a large bath, and nice range of smellies.
(There was a notice saying you could buy the fluffy bathrobe for 60 euro .. but no fluffy bathrobe. Must have been for the even more expensive rooms.)
The location is excellent, right on Promenade des Anglais and at the foot of the old town.
Its main selling point is the private beach (which you have to pay to get into, even as a guest, of course) but as the weather was totally grey and rainy when we were there, I can't comment on the comfort levels of the sun loungers.
Breakfast is nothing special - bread, pastries, processed cheese, ham, cereals. If you don't have an inclusive rate, go out and find a cafe.
Hint: to get the window blind to come down, press the buttons in the side of the bed's headboard. Leave a Comment
