Splendid Hôtel & Spa

Our three night stay here during the rugby world cup was wonderful. The hotel is perched in a quiet location overlooking the sea. All eleven rooms are unique - we stayed in Agate, a triple aspect junior suite. Beautiful views, super comfortable bed and all comforts. It is possible to swim in the sea direct from the hotel terrace, jelly shoes are provided and there is a unique swimming pool which is built into the basement. Breakfasts were of delicious continental style. The hotel does not have a restaurant but there are so many to choose from in Bandol.... a 10 minute stroll to the marina. I hope that we will return one day.

Our stay at The Splendid Hotel was absolutely amazing. The room, the staff, the management were all wonderful. We took advantage of a delicious breakfast each morning. We used the private pool a couple times (a must do if you stay at Splendid Everyday we took a short walk into town and strolled the paths along the Mediterranean that were full of breath taking views We stayed in the Onyx room which had a terrace facing the sea and also windows overlooking the solarium where you can lay out on comfortable chaises and take in the beautiful scene. The room was spacious and well-appointed. The beach was only a short walk away The Bandol train station is less than a 10 minute walk. From there you can easily travel to other destinations along the Riviera. However, if you are fortunate enough to stay at The Splendid Hotel we recommend that you stay and enjoy the top-notch service, the beautiful hotel, and its surroundings If I could give a higher score I would. We are grateful to everyone at the hotel that gave us such a memorable experience

Small scale hotel - very friendly and professional staff. Beautiful location, building, bar /dining area and lovely room. Very delightful experience!

Absolutely incredible! This was a top notch hotel- the staff was amazing, the rosé wine overlooking the Mediterranean, and the views from our room. Bandol is a gorgeous place! This is a very special romantic establishment! It surpassed my expectations.

We loved everything about our stay here. Stayed in the Onyx room, which had a sea view that I couldn't get enough of. The private beach and solarium were a highlight, in addition to the sea view indoor pool which you could book private sessions in. Location was within a short walk of great restaurants and a Carrefour express, staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was just right. Can't wait to return!

Excellent hotel in the excellent place. The hotel is just near to the center, but yet in its own private quiet place. The view is fantastic. We've loved the building, the personnel and the beds. The latter were super comfy. The solarium area outside of the hotel was very beautiful and cozy. Everything one need for a comfortable time was there. It has private access to the sea, which makes it all even better. Nice teas are also available in gym and plenty of water for free which is a nice gesture. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but it provides lovely meals from a local restaurant. We've loved the food, quality was decent. It is not expensive too. Some observations we've had: 1. The swimming pool is really a room full of water. It is nice, but it is not the same as a normal swimming pool. 2. The spa area is not well organised. It is kinda a big room devided into two parts - gym and hammam. Because of hammam, water is everywhere. And the gym has very old machines and weird smell. Overall, even with the current not ideal layout, machines need to be replaced to a better ones, some parfumes placed everywhere and something needs to be done about water on the floor. Because at this moment, the area is not comfortable to be and does not have a relaxing vibe. 3. Some of the finishings (walls, paint, wallpapers) are not really of a good quality at this amazing place that is totally new. However, the bed was very nice and the bathroom / toilet were well organised and thought through. It is a fantastic place to stay to enjoy sun, swimming pool, privacy and views without visiting souna and swimming pool. The personnel of the hotel went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed.

The Splendid Hotel was amazing! Beautiful views, room, and enjoyed the garden, spa and pool. Staff was very friendly and helpful during our stay!

After innumerable trips to Europe, including over ten to France, we suddenly discovered Bandol, on the Riviera about 30 minutes from Cassis. The town is one of the best, not loud and touristy like Saint Tropez or Cannes but calm and beautiful. And the only way to fully enjoy the serenity of Bandol is to stay at the Splendid Hotel, a small but very spacious hotel of suites overlooking the sea. My wife and I stayed in the Granat suite for five nights, on the top floor with an adjoining private terrace. Within a ten minute walk of excellent restaurants and beaches, the hotel offers serenity, superb views, and an excellent breakfast. The staff, from top to bottom, provides prompt and friendly service. We would never return to the Riviera without staying at the Splendid.

Fantastic hotel. Perfect location, great swimming, very high spec, friendly and accommodating staff and access to water/coffee etc was a lovely touch.
