The staff is very unaccommodating and the building is run down. The photos are not a true representation of this property. There are so many nicer B&Bs on Block Island, this should only be last resort. The floors are sticky, the furniture smells. The management there should put more effort into the property if they want people to book here.

I've been visiting BI for years, however this was my first time staying at the Bellevue. My boyfriend and I stayed in a bedroom with a queen bed - The room was spacious and the breeze and ceiling fan kept us cool. We heard the management made a bunch of renovations this year, but since it was our first time... More

We (2 adults+one boy) go to Block Island every year in July. We stayed at the Bellevue house in 2010 and 2011. The location can't be beat. On a relatively quiet street but less than a 5 minute walk to the main streets with all the action. In 2010 we had a very nice experience staying in the "Third Floor... More

The Bellevue House has an excellent location that is close to town if you do not have a vehicle. Easy walk to the beach, shopping, restaurants. It is spotlessly clean and nicely furnished. We even stayed in a room that shared a bath with another room( not usually my cup of tea) and the bathroom was squeaky clean. The grounds... More

This was our 1st. time coming to Block island and we had no idea what to expect. We were on a budget and so chose one of the rooms with a shared bath. The room was smallish but clean, quiet, and had 2 large windows allowing for a perfect view of the sunrise over the ocean. Although there was no... More

Was here July 4th weekend and had a bad experience with this place. --EXTREMELY LOUD: the noise insulation between the rooms was terrible; this goes for both the bellevue and sheffield house, both of which we stayed in; you can hear every door opening and closing in the place; we could feel the people in the room next to us...

I highly recommend staying at the Windrose House. It's run by the same management as the Bellevue House. It's a quaint little place with 4 room options. The Walnut Room was perfect for my girlfriend and I. We had a beautiful view, clean bathroom, and comfortable queen size bed. We went during the Taste of Block Island weekend and took... More

I'm shocked that this b&b rates so highly on tripadvisor. We stayed in the 2nd floor apartment. Bedrooms are microscopic - perhaps 18" around an extremely uncomfortable (was that plywood underneath the mattress??) DOUBLE bed with circa 1980 polycotton sheets (yuck). Lots of home-made improvements - such as mauve tiling in a slanted-ceiling closet-turned-shower. Common room with a day bed... More

The Belvue house is unfortunately a very tired establishment. The beds were worn and not comfortable. The rooms lacked cable TV, and Internet access. The patio table on the porch was dirty and the legs of chairs were broken, The wicker furniture on the porch was broken. Rooms were exceptionally small. Kitchen in our room lacked basic microwave. Never saw... More

Stayed at the Bellevue House recently in the NW room. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It is on the backside of the house but the side window has a view of the Old Harbor. It had a private bathroom which was small but clean. This B&B is run like a business so don't expect a typical... More
