Hôtel le Belvédère in Porto-Vecchio

Dirty, Old, worn out, water on the floor in the kitchen when shower, wonderful view

We stayed at the Belvedere Hotel for a week, but unfortunately, our experience did not meet our expectations. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a persistent musty odor in the room, which lingered despite the room being seemingly clean. The situation was worsened by the presence of mold in the bathroom, making our stay unpleasant and unhygienic.

The breakfast offered was quite disappointing, with a very limited and unappetizing selection. This made our mornings less enjoyable, especially considering that breakfast is usually one of the highlights of the day.

On a positive note, I would like to mention that one of the ladies on the staff was very welcoming and kind to us, trying to make our stay as pleasant as possible despite the issues we encountered.

Unfortunately, due to the problems we experienced, I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a comfortable and hassle-free stay. Price is definitely not worth the hassle.

They did not respect the dinner reservation. We chose the hotel to have an amazing dinner there and it was really disappointing. We booked in advance the dinner, We did not get a nice table as requested even being guest of the hotel. The table in the water was empty in front of us the 2 hours we were there.
The Pulpe smelled bad and it was disgusting.
The restaurant has a lot to improve in the food, breakfast was also not good.
There was not enough staff in the bar, we took 25mins to get the drinks.
Really disappointed, old room, no wifi working and no access from parking.

Unfortunately this hotel is not what it seems in the photos. For €330 per night we were expecting good quality rooms and facilities. As seen from the photos the rooms are equivalent to a 2 star hotel. This hotels best days a definitely behind it. The rooms are poor and the pool area is in need of work. Everything look worn. It’s very overpriced for what it is.

Most Horrendous Experience Ever

We have been traveling worldwide as a family for 7 years and the treatment at Hotel Belvedere is absolutely the worst experience of our lives - across multiple hotels around the world.

There were three of us traveling and I had originally booked a hotel room at Hotel Belvedere for two adults. I immediately emailed the hotel after booking months in advance to notify them we have a child with us and he would need to stay in the room. No problem noted the hotel and a 20euro charge per night. I said that was fine and secured the room for 3 pax.

Fast forward to checkin months later at the height of August travel in Porto Vecchio and the dumbfounded reception at Hotel Belvedere notes that only 2 people allowed in this room. I quickly pull up the email communication between us and reception notes that it is their error and in two nights they’ll be able to put us into a larger
Suite. We left reception with that being an acceptable alternative albeit we would have a rather cramped two nights at the hotel.

Then with no warning staff at the hotel notify us we will not be able to stay at the hotel , even for one night and now we will not be able to stay in the suite citing an insurance policy not allowing this. They were kicking us out in a foreign country at the height of tourist season. Obviously with hotels booked up we were stressed and angry about the situation Hotel Belvedere was contemplating putting us in.

This was obviously them not wanting to upgrade us to the suite and they now took the stance that this entire issue was our fault despite admitting their error earlier. It was purely a monetary decision which adds to our disgust with Hotel Belvedere.

After begging and pleading they allowed us to stay in the room for the night and suggested that they were doing us a favour. We paid full price for the room and not so much of an apology or anything from this hotel. We had to scramble to save our vacation and paid top price at another hotel.

The rooms themselves as others have noted deserve a two star at best - they are run down and disgusting. Added to this the staff’s disgusting attitude to their paying guests, this hotel deserves a one star at best.

We are not ones to overly complain at establishments so take my word - avoid Hotel Belvedere - the staff treat you horrendously and the rooms are two star at best.
