We know how important atmosphere and comfort are when traveling. And we’ve made it our mission: 112 luxurious, refined rooms, a spa center with heated indoor and outdoor pools, as well as three restaurants, a rooftop with solarium and pool, and meeting rooms. Every space is meticulously designed. All in true Boscolo style. The Boscolo Hotel, prestigiously awarded the UNESCO World Heritage label, stands out with its magnificent classified Belle Epoque facade, an architectural masterpiece that embodies timeless elegance and cultural heritage. Choose from Mediterranean cuisine on the rooftop, gourmet at Angelo’s and international at Genesi’s. Our star products: Italian truffles, oil, grappas and ice creams selected directly by the Boscolo family. Start the day with our breakfast, which ends at 12:00 pm on the Genesi terrace, and continue with culinary tastings in our two restaurants, Angelo and Bclub.

I'm not sure where to start with this, but I hope this serves as a frank review of a mediocre hotel in downtown Nice. We booked it by chance, and my comments are not a criticism of the staff or the hotel itself, but rather an honest account of our experience. We chose this hotel simply because we wanted to be in central Nice. It looked okay in the pictures and was advertised as 5-star. Spoiler alert: this is not a 5-star anything, and it had a completely different vibe than what we were looking for. Our initial plan was to stay for five nights, but we left after the first. We incurred two penalty nights, but none of us liked it enough to stay. What I Liked: - When we checked out early, the staff was helpful and friendly. - The valet service was good: quick, easy, and friendly. - Honestly, nothing else. This was not a great hotel at all. What Could Have Been Different: The Vibe: The ambiance, furniture, and the entire feel of the hotel are cheap, old, and unmodern. Nothing seems to have been updated or given any love for the past 15-20 years. The Breakfast: There was no passion here; just staff roaming around who didn't seem to enjoy their jobs. The breakfast room is split into two different areas. One is dark and moody, and the other looks like a conference room. Nothing about it makes you enjoy your breakfast. The selection isn't very generous, nor does it seem to be of high quality. My feeling is that the other guests felt the same. The Pool: A complete lack of vibe, sunbeds, and service. I think the problem is that no one with ambition is running this hotel, or perhaps even the hotel chain. The Concierge: There wasn't a real concierge during the 12 hours we stayed, but the person who was there strongly advised against going to the beach. They had a contract with a private beach but suggested we stay at the hotel due to "bad weather and strong winds" the next day. It turned out to be an awesome day with no wind and plenty of sun. This hotel is too expensive, too low-quality, and too lacking in atmosphere to recommend or pay their suggested prices. If they halved the price, I might book it for one or two nights if I were alone and on a business trip, but never for a holiday with my family.

This hotel was beautifully decorated and maintained. The staff were really friendly and attentive in the main hotel area, in the restaurants, and at the rooftop pool area. The location is super convenient to walk to the old part of Nice close to the beach.

We had a lovely experience here from start to finish. The hotel were happy to accommodate our room requests. The room itself was as expected, clean and nicely presented, but we were pleasantly surprised by the turndown service every night! Staff were helpful and friendly. The spa is lovely, as is the rooftop bar. The hotel's restaurant and bar are very expensive, but that's to be expected. I would happily stay here again.

Excellent stay. We were a group of 6 friends. Service was excellent from the moment we arrived, all of the staff were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was great - nice choice from the buffet or you could request cooked options. Rooms were good - we had different rooms sizes between us but they were all good. Location was great, minutes to walk to restaurants, shops & sights. Roof pool small - but bigger than other roof pools I’ve seen and service from staff up there was great.
